1. Introduction
APPLIED IMPACT LTD (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located at 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom, provides the Pyramid Solitaire mobile game (“Game”).
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Game, contact us, or visit our website.
We aim to handle personal information responsibly and transparently in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and applicable United Kingdom data protection legislation.
2. Information Handled by the Game
Pyramid Solitaire is an offline card game in which players remove cards by matching values that total thirteen.
To support gameplay, the Game stores certain information locally on your device, including:
- Your current game state and card positions.
- Move history and undo information.
- Game settings and preferences.
- Locally recorded results and progress.
- Information needed to restore or replay a saved deal.
This information is generated through gameplay and stored on your device.
The Game does not require account registration or the submission of personal identification information.
3. Local Storage and Data Collection
Pyramid Solitaire is designed to work offline without an internet connection.
During normal gameplay, locally stored game information is not transmitted to APPLIED IMPACT LTD.
The Game does not include advertising SDKs, analytics tools or automatic crash-reporting services.
We do not collect gameplay information for advertising, profiling or behavioural tracking.
The Game does not request permission to access your contacts, camera, microphone or device location.
4. Purposes of Processing
Locally stored information is used to provide the Game's features, including:
- Saving and restoring unfinished games.
- Maintaining move and undo history.
- Remembering selected preferences.
- Recording local game results.
- Supporting hints and replay functions.
These operations support the functionality requested by the user.
If you contact us directly, we process the information you provide to receive, review and respond to your enquiry.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
Where the UK GDPR applies to personal data processed by APPLIED IMPACT LTD, the relevant legal bases may include:
Performance of a contract — Article 6(1)(b): Where processing is necessary to provide services requested by the user.
Legitimate interests — Article 6(1)(f): Where processing is necessary to manage enquiries and communications, provided those interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of individuals.
Compliance with legal obligations — Article 6(1)(c): Where processing is required by applicable law.
These legal bases apply only where their respective legal requirements are satisfied. The Game's locally stored gameplay records are not routinely transmitted to the Company.
6. Sharing and Disclosure
APPLIED IMPACT LTD does not receive or share locally stored gameplay records through the Game's normal operation.
The Game does not use advertising networks or analytics providers to collect gameplay information.
If you contact us by email or visit our website, the services supporting those communications may process technical or contact information as necessary to provide their services.
We may disclose personal information where required by applicable law or a legally binding request from a competent authority.
We do not sell personal information obtained through the Game or support enquiries.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
Game progress, move history, settings and local results remain stored on your device until removed through available Game features or Android's application storage controls.
You may clear the Game's locally stored information through your device's application settings.
Uninstalling the Game ordinarily removes its application-specific local storage. Any copies existing outside that storage are subject to the mechanisms through which they were created or retained.
APPLIED IMPACT LTD does not maintain a remote database of your gameplay records.
If you contact us, information associated with your enquiry may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to address the communication or comply with applicable legal obligations.
8. Security
Pyramid Solitaire is designed to operate offline and retain gameplay information locally.
The Game's Android configuration disables ordinary application backup and includes additional backup-related settings.
These settings do not guarantee protection against every possible form of access, copying or transfer.
The security of locally stored information also depends on your device, its operating system and the safeguards used to protect access to it.
9. Website and External Communications
Gameplay does not require access to our website.
If you visit https://appliedimpact.ltd using a web browser, the website and its technical service providers may process connection-related information, including your IP address.
If you contact us by email, we receive your email address, message content and any other information you choose to provide.
Website visits and email communications are separate from the Game's offline gameplay.
Where personal data is transferred internationally in connection with these services, applicable data protection requirements must be observed.
10. Your Data Protection Rights
Where the UK GDPR applies, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal data processed about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Request erasure of personal data where applicable.
- Request restriction of processing.
- Object to certain processing activities.
- Request data portability where the relevant conditions are met.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions.
Because gameplay information is stored locally and is not transmitted to APPLIED IMPACT LTD during normal operation, we generally cannot access, retrieve, modify or delete those records remotely.
You may contact us using the details below to exercise your rights concerning personal data processed by the Company.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
11. Children's Privacy
Pyramid Solitaire is a traditional card game intended for teenagers and adults and is not specifically directed at young children.
The Game does not require registration, contain advertising or use behavioural analytics.
It does not involve real-money gambling, betting or monetary prizes.
Parents and guardians may assist younger users in managing device privacy settings and locally stored game information.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Game, our information-handling practices or applicable legal requirements.
The current version will be made available through the Privacy Policy website. The effective date will be updated when a revised policy takes effect.
