Build A Rocket Boy®

Youth Privacy Policy

Dated: 28 March 2025

At Build A Rocket Boy, we do our very best to keep your personal data safe and private and will only use your information in the manner allowed by law.

Read on to learn more about personal data, what we do with yours and all about your rights.

Some of Build A Rocket Boy’s games have age restrictions. You must follow those age restrictions and only play a game if you meet the relevant game’s age requirements.

If you are 16 or 17 years old (depending on the game rating) you may only play the game with the permission of your parent or guardian. If you are under 16 you should not play our games. This is not a substitute for our full Privacy Notice which you can read at Privacy Notice. To the extent there’s conflict between this Youth Privacy Notice and the full privacy notice, the full Privacy Notice governs.

What information do we collect about you?

We collect personal data about you. Personal data includes information about you such as your name, age, email address, social media handle, login details, or the things you do in a game (e.g.: scores, username, levels completed, devices etc.).

We also collect information about your visit to our websites, the way that you play any of our games, any searches you made on our websites and other websites that you go to from our site.

Some of this information is provided by cookies (little bits of computer software) and similar software that operate on our websites or our games. In some instances, the cookies may be used for targeted advertising which is considered a “sale” of data under some US state laws. We will ask for your prior authorization before “selling” your personal data through the cookie banner on our website. You can opt-out at any time through our “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” page (https://www.buildarocketboy.com/do-not-sell-or-share-my-personal-information). For more information about cookies, how they work and the ones we use on our websites, please see section 8 of our Privacy Notice.

to make sure that our games are safe.

We can only use your information when we are permitted to by the law. For instance:

when you have agreed;
when we need to comply with legal obligations;
to provide you with any products you have requested;
so you can play our games and enjoy the best user experience possible (e.g.: save your progress, personalize your gameplay, hunt for bugs, etc.);
if you choose to, to chat with your friends on the forum or in the chat room of your favourite game;
if you choose to, to take part in a contest or a survey that we are organising (e.g.: name, email and mailing addresses, etc.);
to detect, investigate and prevent crime and fraud within the games; or
to help us to manage and improve our business and our games.

Obviously, you can always choose not to give us your information but if you do so, you might not then be able to play.

How long do we keep your information?

We do not keep your information forever. We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, or reporting requirements.

We may share your information:

with other companies so they can help us provide and improve your experience playing our games; or

We will follow data protection laws to make sure that any organisation we share your information with complies with rules to protect your information and keep it safe.
