European Union General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”)
GDPR addresses the protection of natural persons located in the European Union (“EU”) with respect to the processing of their personal information. GDPR recognizes that personal information shall be:
processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner;
collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes;
adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is processed;
accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;
kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed; and
processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.
Under the GDPR, Thirteen Games is a Controller. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, a “Controller” is a legal or natural person, an agency, a public authority, or any other body who, alone or when joined with others, determines the purposes of any personal data and the means of processing it. As a Controller, Thirteen Games shall be responsible for, and shall be able to demonstrate compliance with, the foregoing principles. Therefore, to the extent GDPR is applicable to you, you have the right:
to request the correction or update of any personal information that is incorrect or incomplete;
to request the erasure of your personal information (the right to be forgotten);
to portability of your personal information;
to object to the processing of your personal information;
not to be subject to a decision based on automated decision-making, including profiling;
to withdraw consent to the processing of your personal information; and
to register a complaint with a supervisory authority (if you are located in the EU).
Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Thirteen Games will effect any such request without delay.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to be forgotten. If you reside in an EU territory, you may request the deletion of your personal data that we collect, store, or process. When you make your request, we will balance the privacy rights of the individual concerned with the interest of the general public in having access to the information, as well as the right of others to distribute the information. For instance, we may refuse to delete information regarding financial scams or other unlawful activities. If Thirteen Games receives a request for erasure, or a request to be forgotten, Thirteen Games will erase the personal data without undue delay (and no longer than 30 days after the request is received), where one of the following grounds applies:
the personal information is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was originally collected or processed;
you withdraw your consent to the collection processing of your personal information;
you object to the processing and there is no overriding legitimate interest for continued collection or processing of your personal data;
you believe that your personal information was unlawfully processed or collected (i.e., in breach of the GDPR);
your personal information must be erased in order to comply with an EU or an EU Member State law to which we are subject; or
such personal information was processed in relation to the offer of information society services to a child.
If you would like to submit a request for erasure (request to be forgotten), please use the form linked here.
You have the right to access and request the correction, amendment, or deletion of all of your recorded personal information that has been collected by us. If you wish to review your recorded personal information, please contact us at privacy@thirteengames.com:
