Last updated: 8 November 2026

1. Who we are

This website and its associated early-access programme are currently operated by an independent individual developer Janne Pirkola, not a registered company.

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), I act as the data controller for the personal data collected through this website.

Data controller: Janne Pirkola

Contact email: support@cannonpirates.com

Website: www.cannonpirates.com

Country: Finland

2. What personal data is collected by the website

When you register for early access, I may collect the following information:

• Email address.

• Date and time of registration.

• Marketing consent preferences, if applicable.

• Communication history relating to your registration or participation in the beta programme.

I only collect information necessary to operate the early-access programme and communicate with registered users.

3. Data collected through the game

What the game stores: To remember your progress, the game stores an anonymous user and device identifier, your chosen username and your game progress, held securely. We do not ask for or store your real name, email address, home address or payment details. Please don’t use your real name as a username. Purchases, if added later, are handled by Google or Apple.

Advertising: The game uses Unity Ads, a third-party advertising service. It collects device and advertising identifiers, usage and performance data and approximate location in order to show ads. In the EU you can choose whether personalised ads are used, Players under 13 only see non-personalised ads in Unity Ads when selected.

Your choices: You can request deletion of your account and data at support@cannonpirates.com

4. How I use your information

Your personal information may be used for the following purposes:

• Managing early-access registrations.

• Sending beta invitations and access instructions.

• Providing information about beta testing and participation.

• Communicating important updates about the application.

• Sending newsletters, promotional offers and announcements, where you have separately agreed to receive them.

• Responding to questions and support requests.

I do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to third parties.

5. Legal basis for processing

I process personal data under the following legal bases, as applicable:

Early-access registration: Processing necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement, where applicable (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)), or another appropriate legal basis where that condition is not met.

Marketing communications: Your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), where consent is required.

Website security and administration: Legitimate interests (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)), where applicable.

You can withdraw your marketing consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. Email communications

If you register for early access, I may send emails directly related to your registration, including confirmation messages, beta invitations and essential programme updates.

Promotional emails, newsletters and marketing communications will only be sent where the required permission has been obtained.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe link included in the email or by contacting me directly.

7. Third-party services

To operate this website and manage registrations, I may use third-party service providers, such as:

• Website hosting providers.

• Email delivery and newsletter services.

• Website security and analytics providers.

These providers may process personal data on my behalf when necessary to provide their services.

Where required, appropriate data processing agreements and safeguards will be used.

Third-party providers currently used: 
odoo.com, Unity, Google play, Apple Appstore and Testflight

Personal data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA) depending on the location of these providers. Where this happens, applicable GDPR transfer requirements and safeguards will be followed.

8. Data retention

I retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

Early-access registration information will generally be retained until the beta programme has ended or the information is no longer needed, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Marketing subscription information will be retained until you withdraw your consent or unsubscribe, subject to retaining the minimum information necessary to respect your unsubscribe request.

Information may be deleted earlier upon a valid deletion request, where applicable.

I will respond to requests within the time limits established by GDPR.

10. Data security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.

However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Cookies and analytics

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to provide essential website functionality and improve the user experience.

Non-essential analytics, tracking or advertising cookies will only be used where the required consent has been obtained.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the website's cookie settings, where available.

12. Children's privacy

Important: The early-access programme is not for children below 13 years, even though game is suitable for children above 9 years.

If I become aware that personal information has been collected from a child without the necessary authorisation or legal basis, I will take appropriate steps to address the situation.
