Who controls your data
The controller is the operator of Bignet Play. Email: [email protected]. You can also reach us through the contact form.
What we collect
Only looking around? We don’t ask who you are and build no profile of you. The site carries no advertising or analytics trackers.
| Situation | Data | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| You register with email | First and last name, screen name, email, date of birth, a password (stored only as a one-way hash), sign-up date, last sign-in, failed-attempt count and any lock time, and when you accepted the Terms and Privacy Policy. | To run your account, confirm you’re 18+, and keep it safe. |
| You use Google sign-in | Your name, verified email and Google account ID, as returned by Google and checked by our server. We then ask for a screen name and date of birth. | To sign you in and confirm you’re 18+. |
| You contact us | Your name, email, the topic and your message. | To read and reply. |
| You request a password reset | Your email and a single-use reset code (stored as a hash, valid one hour). | So you can choose a new password. |
| You sign in or send any form | A short-lived counter linked to a one-way hash of your IP address. | To curb spam and password guessing. Counters are cleared automatically. |
We never ask for or store card or bank details, and we don’t use data for advertising or profiling.
Where it sits
- Accounts are held on our web server as protected files that can’t be opened from the web. There’s no separate database. They remain until you delete your account or ask us to.
- Messages from our forms are emailed by our server, through an email delivery service (SMTP), to our support inbox. We also keep a protected delivery log with only the date, whether it succeeded, which form was used and any technical error. It contains no names, emails or message text.
- In your browser we keep your age confirmation, cookie-notice choice and visit start time (for the timer), plus a sign-in cookie when you sign in or use a form. See the Cookie Policy.
- Our hosting provider may record routine technical logs (for example IP address and page requested) for security and operations.
Others involved
- Email delivery service. Carries the messages sent from our forms and password-reset emails.
- Google Sign-In. Used only if enabled and chosen by you. Loading the Google button on the sign-in and sign-up pages connects your browser to Google, whose privacy policy then applies.
- The games. Games load inside our pages from files hosted on bignethk.com and may use your browser’s storage to work. We receive no payment or identity details through them.
- Hosting provider. Stores and serves the site.
We do not sell personal data.
Our reasons
- Providing and securing your account.
- Checking you’re 18 or over, because the site is for adults only.
- Answering your messages and requests.
- Preventing misuse of the site and its forms.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR, UK GDPR or US state privacy laws) you may be able to access, correct or erase your data, object to or restrict its use, receive a copy, or complain to a data protection authority. You can delete your account yourself at any time on the account page, which removes it from our server. For anything else, use the contact form.
Children
The site is intended for adults aged 18 and over, not children. If you think a child has given us information, tell us and we’ll erase it.
Changes
If this policy changes we’ll revise this page and its date.
