| Entry at the scale house | Reason Merle writes it down | How long the line stays written |
|---|---|---|
| Nickname | Shows the name you picked on the reels | Until you tear up your ticket |
| Email address | Matching the ticket to you so you can log in later | Until you tear up your ticket |

| Sign-up date | Handling your notes and any misuse | Until you tear up your ticket |
There is nothing more in the book. Merle asks for no real name, no home address, no date of birth, no phone number and no payment detail at all, since no stop on the line sells anything. Your password lives here only as a one-way hash. Lawful basis: performance of a contract (providing the account you requested). Tear up the account and every line about you goes at once; the button sits on your account page.
| Entry at the scale house | Why the browser holds it | How long the line stays written |
|---|---|---|
| Coin bin, level, missions and reel settings | Picking up the reels where you stopped | Until you empty your browser data |
| Age confirmation | So the cookie banner stays folded away | Until you empty your browser data |
| Cookie choice | Your yes or no to cookies | Until you empty your browser data |

Pick “Accept all” and we use Google Analytics and Google Ads tags to measure visits and whether our adverts lead to play, a first spin for instance. Google is then sent your IP address, device information and those events. Pick “Essential only” and the same tags work in consent mode with no cookies and no advertising identifiers. Lawful basis: consent.
Our host holds routine request logs, for security, for a short time only. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.
You may at any time access, correct, erase or restrict your data, object to processing and withdraw consent.

The town gates at Prairie Bushel open for adults aged 19 or over. Its coins are virtual and hold no monetary value; they can never be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. Merle keeps no coin counter and no payment page anywhere in town, offers no prize of real-world value, and is clear that success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
