Breezy Bay (playbreezybay.com, @playbreezybay on Instagram) is a cozy island game where every follower gets a raft. This page explains, in plain words, which data we use and why.
What we show
Only your public Instagram username, for example on your raft or in the island list. No profile photos and no other personal data.
What we read on Instagram
- Our list of followers, so your raft can wash ashore with your @name.
- Comments under our own posts (username, text and number of likes), to find the community's ideas for The Harbour. Comment text is never put in the game automatically.
- Direct messages to @playbreezybay that contain a play code, so we know which Instagram account sent it.
Only the Breezy Bay team uses this data. We do not sell it, share it or use it for advertising.
Playing as yourself
To prove that you are you, you send us a short code in a direct message on Instagram. When you play, we keep:
- your Instagram username and the number Instagram uses for your account (so your island stays yours when you change your name);
- what you do in the game: your character, what you build, your island and your crew;
- a login cookie on your device. It is needed to play, so we don't ask for permission for it. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
A play code that is never used is deleted after 1 day. We do not keep your e-mail address, photo or IP address. We use your data only to run the game, which is the agreement you make by choosing to play. No advertising, no profiling and no automated decisions about you.
Who helps us
- Cloudflare hosts the website and the game data (Cloudflare is a US company covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).
- Instagram (Meta) tells us who sent a play code and who follows us.
- Zorcha sends our automatic replies on Instagram.
How long we keep it
Your game data is deleted when you ask, when you unfollow @playbreezybay (within 30 days), or after 12 months without playing. What you built on an island you share with friends stays on that island, but without your name.
Under 16?
You can play if your parent or guardian knows you play.
Your rights
You can ask what we keep about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. If you think we handle your data wrongly, you can complain to the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, the Dutch data protection authority.
Delete your data
Send a direct message to @playbreezybay or an e-mail to privacy@playbreezybay.com with the words delete my data and your @name. We remove your player and your data within 7 days and let you know when it is done. Unfollowing @playbreezybay also removes your data, within 30 days.
