7.1 Situations Where Data May Be Shared

We may disclose information in the following contexts:

• Service Providers: To trusted technical partners that provide hosting, analytics, or security services that keep the Chicken Road game website functional and safe.

7.2 Our Commitment to No Data Sales

We value your trust. For that reason, we do not sell, trade, or rent personal data to any third parties. Your information remains under our control and is handled with the highest standards of privacy.

🌍 8. International Data Transfers – How We Protect Global Sharing

Most of the personal data collected on chickenroad.net is stored and processed within the United Kingdom or the wider European Economic Area (EEA). However, there may be rare occasions where data needs to be transferred to other countries, for example if we work with service providers or partners based outside these regions. When such transfers occur, we take every possible precaution to ensure that your information remains safe.

We apply strong legal safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, additional protective measures. These guarantees make sure your data continues to receive the same level of security and legal protection as it would under UK data protection law. Our priority is to keep your information safe and to give you confidence that your data will not be exposed to lower standards simply because it is moved across borders.

🕒 9. Data Retention Periods – How Long We Keep Your Information

We believe in collecting only the data we need and holding it only for as long as it is useful or legally required. We do not keep your information indefinitely or without purpose. Retention is always connected to necessity, which means information is stored only for as long as it remains relevant for the reason it was originally collected.

9.1 General Retention Guidelines

When information is no longer needed, we either securely delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you. Our retention practices are reviewed regularly to make sure they remain aligned with UK GDPR and other legal requirements.

9.2 Retention Based on Purpose

• Technical Data: Retained for a short period, typically only as long as necessary to monitor site performance, detect problems, or troubleshoot issues.
• Communication Records: Stored until your enquiry, request, or complaint is fully resolved, unless we are legally required to hold them longer.
• Legal Records: Maintained strictly for the duration set out under UK law or regulatory requirements, particularly for compliance or dispute resolution.

👥 10. Data Processors and Authorised Personnel – Who Can Access Data

We make sure that only the right people have access to your personal data, and only for the right reasons. Access is always limited, controlled, and monitored.

10.1 Internal Access

Within chickenroad.net, personal data can only be accessed by trained and authorised staff members who need it to perform specific duties. This may include responding to your enquiries, carrying out technical maintenance, or ensuring website security. All access rights are logged, reviewed, and restricted to prevent misuse.

10.2 External Processors

Sometimes we rely on external service providers to process information on our behalf. These providers, such as hosting services or analytics partners, are carefully selected and operate under strict data processing agreements. They must handle your data with confidentiality, comply fully with GDPR, and are not allowed to use your information for their own purposes or share it further.
