Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2023

1. Introduction to the Clockwork Harvest

Welcome to Oktoberfest Play: The Clockwork Harvest. This Privacy Policy outlines how Clockwork Harvest Entertainment NZ Limited collects, uses, and protects your information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. By engaging with our purely free-to-play social games, including Cuckoo's Fortune, Pretzel Drop, and The Accordion Spinner, you agree to the practices described herein.

2. Information We Collect

As a platform that requires no registration or accounts, the personal information we collect is minimal. We automatically collect non-identifiable technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and device information to ensure our games run smoothly. We also store your local Brass Gears balance securely on your device.

3. Purpose of Data Collection

The information collected is used solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Oktoberfest Play experience. This includes tracking your virtual Brass Gears balance, ensuring fair play in games like The Accordion Spinner, and diagnosing technical issues to keep the festival running seamlessly.

4. Source of Information

Data is collected directly from your device when you access our website. We do not purchase or source personal information from third-party data brokers. All interactions with Cuckoo's Fortune and our other attractions are processed in real-time.

5. Storage and Security

We take the security of your data seriously. All information is stored on secure servers with industry-standard encryption. Your local gameplay progress and Brass Gears accumulation are safeguarded against unauthorized access using modern web security protocols.

6. Disclosure to Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share anonymous, aggregated data with analytics providers to understand how visitors enjoy Pretzel Drop and other games. Information may only be disclosed to law enforcement if strictly required by New Zealand law.

7. Cross-Border Transfers

While Oktoberfest Play is proudly operated in New Zealand, some of our hosting and analytics servers may be located overseas. In such cases, we ensure that these third parties are subject to privacy obligations comparable to those under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

8. Access and Correction Rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to request access to and correction of any personal information we hold about you. Because we do not require accounts, identifying specific user data may be limited, but you can contact us at support@oktoberfestplay.com for assistance.

9. Complaints and the Privacy Commissioner

If you believe we have breached your privacy rights, please contact us first so we can resolve the issue. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to make a complaint to the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
