Privacy Policy for RoyaLand Games
This Privacy Policy explains how The RoyaLand Company Ltd. ("RoyaLand", "we", "us") handles information when you play our mobile games:
- Palazzo Chronicles: Match 3
- Viva Verdi: Card Battle
- Regalia: Crazy 8 Card Game
It applies to the versions of these games distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play (together, the "Games").
In short: the Games do not require an account, do not show advertising, do not use advertising or analytics trackers, and do not sell your personal information. Your progress is saved on your own device. Purchases are handled by Apple or Google, not by us. Viva Verdi's optional online matches and leaderboards share limited game data, as explained below.
1. Who we are
The data controller is The RoyaLand Company Ltd., Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton, Pembroke HM11, Bermuda.
Contact for privacy questions: support@theroyal.land
2. Information we do not collect
We do not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, postal address, contacts, photos, precise or approximate location, or payment card details. The Games contain no advertising and no third party advertising or analytics software, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
3. Information stored on your device
Each Game saves your progress on your device so you can continue where you left off. This includes levels, scores, coins and other in-game items, settings, the profile name you choose in the game, and your purchase entitlements. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us. Deleting the Game removes it.
4. In-app purchases
The Games offer optional in-app purchases. Payments are processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own terms and privacy policies. We never receive your payment card or bank details. The store tells the Game only whether a purchase succeeded, so the item can be delivered, together with a transaction record used to confirm the purchase and restore it later.
5. Online play and leaderboards (Viva Verdi only)
Viva Verdi is fully playable offline. If you choose an online match against another player, the Game connects to our game server and exchanges the information needed to run the match: your in-game player name, the deck you play with, your moves during the match and your device's IP address, which is used to route the connection. This information is used only to run the match and is not used to identify you.
Viva Verdi can also post your number of victories to a leaderboard through Apple Game Center (iOS) or Google Play Games (Android), if you are signed in to those services. Those services are provided by Apple and Google under their own privacy policies, and your public profile there is controlled in your Apple or Google account settings.
Palazzo Chronicles and Regalia have no online multiplayer. Regalia's matches are played against computer opponents on your device.
6. Information collected by Apple and Google
Apple and Google may collect information when you download or use apps on their platforms, for example download statistics and, if you have agreed to share them with developers, crash reports and diagnostics. Where they share such reports with us, they are aggregated or do not identify you, and we use them only to fix problems and improve the Games. See the Apple Privacy Policy and the Google Privacy Policy.

8. Sharing and selling
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We may disclose information only if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our players and our company.
9. Data retention
Information stored on your device remains until you delete the Game or clear its data. Online match information for Viva Verdi is kept only for the duration of the match and for short-term server logs used to keep the service secure and working, after which it is deleted.
10. Security
Saved game data is stored in the Game's private storage on your device, and connections to our game server are limited to what a match requires. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information the Games handle.
11. Children
The Games are intended for players aged 13 and over and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a Game, please contact us and we will delete it.
12. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and US states such as California, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information about you, to object to or restrict its use, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Because the Games keep your information on your device, you can delete it at any time by deleting the Game. For any other request, contact us at support@theroyal.land and we will respond within 30 days.
Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, we process information on the basis of performing our agreement with you (to provide the Games and your purchases) and our legitimate interest in running online matches and keeping the Games secure.
13. International transfers
Our company is based in Bermuda and our game server may be located outside your country. Where information is transferred internationally, we take steps to make sure it remains protected in line with this policy and applicable law.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the Games change. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and important changes will also be noted in the Game's store listing.
