| Swatch | Why Pigmund keeps it | How long the swatch stays |
|---|---|---|
| Name painted on the door | The name painted on the studio door | Kept while the account exists |
| Email in the swatch book | Knowing which studio key is yours at login | Kept while the account exists |
| Password hash | Signing you in without the password ever being stored in readable form | Kept while the account exists |
| Sign-up date | Answering messages and stopping misuse | Kept while the account exists |
The list stops there. Pigmund never asks who you really are, where you live, when you were born, what your phone number is or how you pay, because nothing in the alley costs money. Your password is only ever stored as a one-way hash. Lawful basis: performance of a contract (supplying the account you requested). Deleting your account wipes all of this at once, with the button provided on your account page.

Pick “Accept all” and we load Google Analytics and Google Ads tags to measure visits and whether an advert led to play, such as a first spin. Google is sent your IP address, device information and those events. Pick “Essential only” and the tags work in consent mode, with no cookies and no advertising identifiers. Lawful basis: consent.

At any time you may ask to see, fix, erase or limit your data, object to how it is processed, or take back your consent. Deleting your account on the account page wipes the account data on the spot, and clearing this site’s data in your browser deals with whatever is left. To complain, contact the ICO at ico.org.uk.
Paint Pot Alley lets in grown-ups of 18 and over and no one else. The reels are fed with virtual coins of no monetary value, and those coins cannot be bought, sold, withdrawn or exchanged. There is no coin stall and no payment page anywhere down the bricks, no prize of real-world value is ever handed over, and success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
