   In this policy you will find information about what types of personal information we hold about you, how and why we collect it, how we use it, and how we keep it secure. You'll also find information about your rights and how you can exercise them.

6. Legal basis for processing
   
   

   There are a number of different legal grounds for processing personal information. Which one is applicable will depend on how we are using your information and for what purpose. In the majority of cases this condition will be that:

   
   

   Consent	You have provided your consent to us using your personal information in that way. For example where you provide us with consent to join our mailing list.
   Legitimate interest	Our use of your personal information is in our legitimate interest as an operator of a free online multiplayer service provided we do so in a way that is proportionate, and that respects your privacy rights. For example, we use cookies to track information about how our website is used in order to continually improve its layout and content based on how you and other users interact with it.
   Necessary to perform a contract	Our use of your personal information is necessary to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract with you. For example, it is necessary to use your IP address in order to operate the multiplayer functionality of the game.
   Legal obligation	Our use of your personal information is necessary to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation.



7. Sharing your information
   
   

   The personal information you provide to us may be shared with third party companies, agents, contractors, service providers or affiliated companies if this is necessary to provide you with our services, respond to your inquiries or for any of the purposes described in this policy. This may include:

   • other players of the game to facilitate the multiplayer nature of the game and services, in particular, usernames, in-game chat and forum posts;
   • sub-processors who store or process information on our behalf, in particular, website hosting providers, data storage providers and mailing list administrators;
   • our auditors, insurers, lawyers and other professional advisers;
   • law enforcement agencies, other governmental agencies or third parties if we are required by law to do so.


8. Transferring your information outside the UK and Europe
   
   

   Your personal information may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA) and may also be processed by staff operating outside the UK or EEA who work for us, or for one of our service providers.

   
   

   When we, or our permitted third parties, transfer your information outside the UK or EEA we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that such transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards, including entering into agreements with the party to whom we transfer such information in accordance with model data transfer agreements.

   
   
9. Your rights
   
   

   Your rights Under data protection laws you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. We respect and honour these rights and will help you to exercise them insofar as we are able.

   
   

   You have the right:

   • to request access to or a copy of any personal data which we hold about you;
   • to rectification of your personal data, if you consider that the information we are holding is inaccurate;
   • to ask us to delete your personal data, if you consider that we do not have the right to hold it;
   • to withdraw consent to our processing of your personal data (to the extent such processing is based on previously obtained consent);
   • to ask us to stop or start sending you marketing messages as described below in the marketing section;
   • to restrict processing of your personal data;
   • to data portability (moving some of your personal data elsewhere) in certain circumstances;
   • to object to your personal data being processed in certain circumstances; and
   • to not be subject to a decision based on automated processing and to have safeguards put in place if you are being profiled based on your personal data.

   Please note that these rights are not absolute – in some cases they will not apply to you, or to the particular use that we are making of your data, and there are exceptions (for example if we have to process the data to comply with our own legal obligations) but if that is the case we will let you know if you make a request that we believe we cannot comply with.

   
   

   Any request from you for access to or a copy of your personal data must be in writing and we will endeavour to respond within a reasonable period in compliance with data protection legislation. We will comply with our legal obligations as regards your rights as a data subject.

   
   

   We aim to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate at all times. To assist us in ensuring that your information is up to date, do let us know if any of your personal details change by contacting us at [email protected]



10. Marketing
    
    

    If you have agreed to be contacted for marketing purposes we may use your personal information to send you information about us and our services. You can unsubscribe from receiving them at any time and details of how to unsubscribe will be included in any marketing communications we send you. You also have the option of "unsubscribing" from our mailing list at any time thereby disabling any further such e-mail or other communication from being sent to you by contacting us at [email protected].

    
    

    We will action any opt out request from you as soon as we can.



11. How long will we keep your information?
    
    

    We will only keep the information we collect about you for as long as required for the purposes set out in this notice or as required to comply with any legal obligations to which we are subject. This will involve us periodically reviewing our files to check that information is accurate, up-to-date and still required.

    
    

    In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see "Your Rights" above for further information.

    
    

    Sometimes we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

    
    

    If you opt out from marketing, we will retain your information to enable us to respect your wishes to not be contacted for marketing purposes.



12. Security
    
    

    We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

    
    

    Such measures will be appropriate to the nature of the data concerned and the level of risk. If you have been provided with a password to access any of our services you should not share that password with anyone else.



13. Links to Other Sites
    
    

    Our websites may contain links to other sites, including via our social media buttons. While we try to link only to websites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other websites and a link does not constitute an endorsement of that website.

    
    

    Once you open another website from our website you are subject to the terms and conditions of that website, including, but not limited to, its privacy policy and practices. Please check these policies before you submit any data to these websites.



14. Complaints
    
    

    Questions, comments and requests regarding this policy are welcomed. Please contact us at [email protected].

    
    

    If you have any concerns about our use of your information, you also have the right (as a UK resident) to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner's Office, which regulates and supervises the use of personal data in the UK, via their helpline on 0303 123 1113.



15. How we use cookies
    
    

    A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site.

    
    

    A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

    
    

    You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings.

    
    

    If you use your browser settings to disable, reject, or block cookies (including essential cookies), certain parts of our website may not function fully. In some cases, our website may not be accessible at all. Please note that where third parties use cookies we have no control over how those third parties use those cookies.



16. Changes to these Terms
    
    

    We may need to amend this policy from time to time, for example, in order to ensure that we remain compliant with applicable law or to reflect any changes we make to the services we provide.
