INFORMATION WE COLLECT

As you engage with our Game, sometimes you will be asked to provide us with personal information. The information that you are asked to provide and the reasons why you are asked to provide it will be made clear to you at the point we request it. Providing us with this information is entirely voluntary but if you choose not to provide it you may not be able to access some of our services or Services. Here are examples of when we directly ask you to provide us with information:

• Account related data provided by you upon account creation, including email, account name, password, and platform.
• Any information provided by you in connection with contacting our Customer Support Services.
• Information that is provided by using the in-game chat features or our forums.

We also collect a variety of information from you automatically as a result of you using our Game and through your interactions on our websites. Some of this information is collected anonymously while at other times it is collected and associated with other information you’ve already provided. In cases where this information is linked to your account information, or if the info collected can be used to trace back to a specific person, then we consider this information to be personal data. Here is the information that is collected automatically when you use our Services:

• Geographic location information using IP information

• Event data related to how your account information is modified or updated over time.
• Transactional data around virtual currency purchases and in-game purchases
• Advertising referral information when you sign up using one of our partner's ad campaigns

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

This section provides more detail on the types of personal information we collect from you, and why. For users who live in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Switzerland, Brazil or Turkey (“RELEVANT JURISDICTION”), it also identifies the legal basis under which we process your data.

INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US
(either directly or through a third party).

HOW WE STORE AND SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Pursuant to our contract with you to provide you with the Game, your personal information will be processed on servers that may not be located where you live. No matter where our servers are located, we take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our servers for the Game are located in:

• Canada;
• the USA;
• Netherlands;
• Singapore; and
• France.

In addition, your information can be accessed from outside of where you live by our support, engineering and other teams around the world, including Canada, the Philippines and the USA.

ONLY WHERE NECESSARY will we share your personal information with third parties. Situations where this occur are:

• THIRD PARTIES that provide services in support of the Game, including platform, distribution and payment processing partners, providers of cloud services that process information identified in this policy on their servers for the purpose of providing the Game, for the purpose of processing support ticket ID and support communication, and for the purpose of providing marketing and advertisements and monitoring the success of our marketing and advertising programs. All companies providing services for us are prohibited from retaining, using, or disclosing your personal information for any purpose other than providing us with their Services.
• COMPANIES WITHIN OUR CORPORATE GROUP who process your personal information in order to operate the Game around the world. All related group companies may only use your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
• REGULATORS, JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES FOR SAFETY, SECURITY, OR COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW. There are circumstances in which we are legally required to disclose information about you to authorities, such as to comply with a legal obligation or processes, enforce our terms, address issues relating to security or fraud, or protect our users. These disclosures may be made with or without your consent, and with or without notice, in compliance with the terms of valid legal process such as a subpoena, court order, or search warrant. We are usually prohibited from notifying you of any such disclosures by the terms of the legal process. We may seek your consent to disclose information in response to a governmental entity’s request when that governmental entity has not provided the required subpoena, court order, or search warrant. We may also disclose your information to:
  • enforce our terms and conditions and other agreements, including investigation of any potential violation thereof;
  • detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical issues; or
  • protect the rights, property or safety of us, our users, a third party or the public as required or permitted by law (exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction).
• A THIRD PARTY THAT ACQUIRES ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF US OR OUR BUSINESS. We may also disclose your information to third parties if we either: (a) sell, transfer, merge, consolidate or reorganize any part(s) of our business, or merge with, acquire or form a joint venture with, any other business, in which case we may disclose your data to any prospective buyer, new owner, or other third party involved in such change to our business; or (b) sell or transfer any of our assets, in which case the information we hold about you may be sold as part of those assets and may be transferred to any prospective buyer, new owner, or other third party involved in such sale or transfer.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION

We are committed to maintaining the privacy and integrity of your personal information no matter where it is stored. We have information security and access policies that limit access to our systems and technology, and we protect data through the use of protection measures such as encryption.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will implement and maintain reasonable measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of the information transmitted through the Game or otherwise via the Internet; any transmission is at your own risk.

DATA RETENTION

We do not keep your data for longer than is necessary unless we are required to do so under law. We will keep the majority of your data for the duration of the CBT, and any directly identifying information will be removed after the CBT has finished (unless an account deletion request is submitted, in which case your data will be deleted or anonymised within 30 days). De-identified data is retained for 12 months following the CBT, after which it is deleted. The exceptions to this are Matchmaking services, in respect of which data is retained for 30 days.

If we are required to retain your information beyond these retention periods to comply with applicable laws, in which case we will store it separately from other types of personal information.

YOUR RIGHTS

Some jurisdictions’ laws grant specific rights to users of the Game, which are set out in this section.

This section entitled “Your Rights” applies to users that are located in the Relevant Jurisdictions. If you are located in a territory outside a Relevant Jurisdiction, please refer to the Supplemental Jurisdiction-Specific Terms for an overview of your rights and how these can be exercised.

The sub-sections entitled “Right Of Access”, “Right To Rectification”, and “Right To Erasure” also apply to users that are located in Canada.

RIGHT OF ACCESS

You have the right to access personal information we hold about you, how we use it, and who we share it with. You can access the personal information you have provided as part of your account by submitting a request through our Support page.

RIGHT TO PORTABILITY

You have the right to receive a copy of certain personal information we process about you. This comprises any personal information we process on the basis of your consent (e.g., advertising) or pursuant to our contract with you (e.g., customer support), as described above in the section “How we use your personal information”. You have the right to receive this information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transfer that personal information to another party, with certain exceptions. We will provide further information to you about this if you make such a request.

If you wish for us to transfer such personal information to a third party, please ensure you detail that party in your request. Note that we can only do so where it is technically feasible. Please note that we may not be able to provide you with personal information if providing it would interfere with another’s rights (for example, where providing the personal information we hold about you would reveal information about another person or our trade secrets or intellectual property).

RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION

At any time you can update your Account Information by logging in to your account profile on our website. If for whatever reason you believe the personal information we have about you is inaccurate or incomplete and requires changes, please notify us through our Support page or by using the “How to contact us” section below.

RIGHT TO ERASURE

You can delete your account and have the right to request that we delete Personal Data that we store on you. You can do this by contacting our Support page on our website and requesting your account to be deleted. We ensure that all deletion requests are satisfied within one month upon receipt of your request. Please note that once an account is deleted there is no way to recover it. Some information may be retained by us to the extent we need to satisfy a legal requirement or for security purposes. Some information will also be retained anonymously.

We may need to retain personal information if there are valid grounds under data protection laws for us to do so (for example, for the defense of legal claims or freedom of expression) but we will let you know if that is the case. Where you have requested that we erase personal information that has been made available publicly on the Game and there are grounds for erasure, we will use reasonable steps to try to tell others that are displaying the personal information or providing links to the personal information to erase it too.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING TO STORAGE ONLY

You have a right to require us to stop processing the personal information we hold about you other than for storage purposes in certain circumstances. Please note, however, that if we stop processing the personal information, we may use it again if there are valid grounds under data protection laws for us to do so (for example, for the defence of legal claims or for another’s protection). As above, where we agree to stop processing the personal information, we will try to tell any third party to whom we have disclosed the relevant personal information so that they can stop processing it too.

RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

Some of our processing is based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without impact to data processing activities that have taken place before such withdrawal or to any other existing legal justification of the processing activity in question.

Where consent is required to process your personal information, if you do not consent to the processing or if you withdraw your consent we may not be able to deliver the expected Game.

RIGHT TO OBJECT

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO US PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME WHEN THE PROCESSING IS BASED ON OUR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS (AND NOT, FOR EXAMPLE, A LEGAL OBLIGATION) ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. IF YOU OBJECT WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS THERE ARE COMPELLING AND PREVAILING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OR THE DATA IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

RIGHT TO PROCEED AND TO TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS

In the event that you wish to make a complaint about how we process your personal information, please contact us in the first instance and we will endeavour to deal with your request as soon as possible. This is without prejudice to your right to launch a claim with the data protection authority in the country in which you live or work where you think we have infringed data protection laws.

You also have the right to take legal actions in relation to any breach of your rights regarding the processing of your Personal Data.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

We may from time to time send you announcements when we consider it necessary to do so (for example, when we temporarily suspend access to the Game for maintenance, or security, privacy or administrative-related communications). You may not opt-out of these Game-related announcements, which are not promotional in nature.

FURTHER RIGHTS

Where processing of your Personal Data is either based on your consent or necessary for the performance of a contract with you and processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the Personal Data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to have your personal data transmitted directly to another company, where technically feasible (data portability).

Further, you have the right not to be subject to any automatic individual decisions which produce legal effects on you or similarly significantly affects you.

HOW TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS

You can exercise your rights by contacting our Support Page or by using the “How to contact us” section below. We satisfy these requests within one month upon receipt of your request. If the request affects the rights and privacy of others we reserve the right to refuse to act on the request. If your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or to refuse to act on the request.

Please note that we may need to request information from you to confirm your identity and establish your entitlement to these rights.
