Effective date: 3 October 2026. This notice explains what personal information Project Eden processes, why, and your rights under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA).

Who is responsible

The responsible party and Information Officer is Sapphorion, Gqeberha, South Africa. Contact: sapphorion@gmail.com

What the game collects

Information	Required?	Why
Director name (any name or nickname you choose)	Yes, to create a profile	Shows on your profile and end-of-run report
Profile picture: a built-in icon, or a photo you choose to upload (shrunk to 128 × 128 px)	Optional. Icons are the default	Shows on your profile
Game progress, saved parks, up to 3 automatic backups, career statistics and settings	Needed to save and continue	Lets you continue where you left off and recover a damaged save
Feedback you choose to send, and the game details you choose to include	Optional	Helps improve the game

The game does not ask for your email, phone number, location, age, contacts or payment details. It has no adverts, no analytics and no tracking, and nothing is sold or shared for marketing.

Where it is kept

• GitHub Pages site: everything stays in your browser's storage on your device. It is not sent to Sapphorion or anyone else.
• Claude link (claude.ai): your profile and saves are also kept in a private area of the game's storage on claude.ai, linked to your Claude account so you can continue on another device. That area is private to you: even Sapphorion, as the publisher, cannot read it. Anthropic provides that storage under its own privacy policy.

Feedback and park files

If you send feedback, it goes from your own email app to Sapphorion, so your email address is visible. You choose whether to include game details (park day, rating, phase, browser and screen size). Feedback is used only to improve the game and deleted when no longer needed. Park files you export stay wherever you save them, and are only seen by Sapphorion if you choose to send one.

Other services

Loading the game connects your browser to GitHub (hosting), Anthropic / claude.ai (the Claude link and its storage), Google Fonts (fonts) and cdnjs / Cloudflare (the three.js library). They receive technical information such as your IP address and browser type under their own privacy policies. Their servers are outside South Africa. This transfer is necessary to deliver the game, and these providers apply their own data-protection safeguards.

Why and on what basis

Your information is used only to run the features you ask for: your profile, saving and continuing your park, and your career record. The basis is your consent, given when you create a profile, and the need to provide the service you asked for (POPIA section 11(1)(a) and (b)). You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting your data below.

How long it is kept

Until you delete it. Edit your name or picture in Profile, delete one director with Profile → Delete profile, or delete everything with the button below. Clearing your browser's site data also removes the copies on your device.

Children

If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian to read this notice and agree before you create a profile. Use a built-in icon instead of a photo. Never upload a photo of a child without a parent's or guardian's permission.

Security

Saves on claude.ai are private to your account. Anyone using the same browser on the same device can see the profiles stored there, so delete your profile if you share a device.

Your rights

Under POPIA you may ask what information is held about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to its processing. You can do most of this yourself in the game. For anything else, email sapphorion@gmail.com. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Information Regulator (South Africa) at inforegulator.org.za through its eServices portal.

Changes

If this notice changes, the effective date above will change and the game will show the new version.

Delete all my game data

Removes every director profile, saved park and setting on this device, and the copies on your Claude account if you are playing on Claude. This cannot be undone.
