Play Rescue ApS ("we", "us", "our") operates the website nikosrescuezoo.com and the game Niko's Rescue Zoo. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Danish data protection law.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect the following personal data:

• Email address — when you sign up for the alpha waitlist
• IP address — logged automatically when you submit the signup form (for spam protection and rate limiting)
• Consent timestamp — the date and time you gave consent

We do not collect names, addresses, payment information, or any other personal data through this website.

3. Why We Collect Your Data (Legal Basis)

We process your data based on your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)):

• To add you to the alpha testing waitlist

We will never sell, share, or transfer your email address to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. How We Store Your Data

• Your email is stored in a protected file on our hosting provider (SiteGround), located in the EU
• The data file is not publicly accessible — it is protected by server-side access controls
• Only the site administrator (Niko) has access to the signup data

5. Data Retention

We retain your email address for as long as it is needed for the waitlist and alpha program. Once the game launches publicly or you request deletion, your data will be permanently removed.

• Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Rectification — ask us to correct any inaccurate data
• Erasure — request that we delete your data ("right to be forgotten")
