Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2023

1. Introduction to the Haberdashery

Welcome to YarnBall Rush. We respect your privacy and are committed to complying with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. This policy outlines how we handle the minimal data generated while you enjoy our free games.

2. Information We Collect

Because YarnBall Rush requires no registration or accounts, we do not collect personally identifiable information like names or addresses. We only collect basic technical data, such as device type and browser, to ensure games like Spin the Spindle and Purl Drop function correctly on your screen.

3. Purpose of Data Collection

The technical data collected is used solely to deliver the YarnBall Rush experience and maintain your virtual Luminous Spools balance during your active session. We do not profile users or collect data for targeted real-money gambling advertisements.

4. Storage and Security

Your Luminous Spools balance and progress in Feline Flyer are managed locally on your device via standard web storage. We employ industry-standard security measures on our servers to protect the integrity of the YarnBall Rush platform against unauthorized access.

5. Access and Correction Rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. Given our no-account structure, simply clearing your browser cache will erase your specific YarnBall Rush session data.

6. Disclosure to Third Parties

Textile Amusements Aotearoa Limited does not sell, rent, or trade your usage data to third parties. We may only disclose aggregated, non-identifying data to our web hosting partners to ensure the Grand Haberdashery remains online and stable.

7. Cross-Border Transfers

While our company is based in Auckland, New Zealand, the servers hosting YarnBall Rush may be located overseas. Any international transfer of basic analytics data complies with the data protection safeguards required by the Privacy Commissioner.

8. Privacy Complaints

If you have concerns about how YarnBall Rush handles data, please contact us at support@yarnballrush.com. 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.
