Your European Privacy Rights. If you are located in the EEA or the UK, you have additional rights described below.

• You may request access to the personal data we maintain about you, update, and correct inaccuracies in your personal data, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, have your personal data anonymized or deleted, as appropriate, request not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing including profiling, or exercise your right to data portability to easily transfer your personal data to another company.

You may exercise these rights by contacting us using the contact details at the end of this Privacy Policy. Before fulfilling your request, we may ask you to provide reasonable information to verify your identity. Please note that there are exceptions and limitations to each of these rights, and that while any changes you make will be reflected in active user databases instantly or within a reasonable period of time, we may retain personal data for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.

If you choose not to provide us with personal data we collect, some features of the Service may not work as intended.

Third Parties

The Service may contain links to other websites, products, or services that we do not own or operate or permit you to integrate with third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities on these third-party services or any data you disclose to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any data to them.

Retention

We retain personal data about you for as long as reasonably necessary to provide you with the Service, or otherwise in support of our business or commercial purposes. When you request that we do so, we take measures to delete your personal data or keep it in a form that does not permit identifying you when this personal data is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes for which we process it, unless we are required by law to keep this information for a longer period. When we process personal data for our own purposes, we determine the retention period taking into account various criteria, such as the type of products and services provided to you, the nature and length of our relationship with you, possible re-enrollment with products and services, the impact on the products and services we provide to you if we delete some personal data from or about you, and mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.

Security

We make reasonable efforts to protect your data by using security measures designed to safeguard the data we maintain. However, because no electronic transmission or storage of data can be entirely secure, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your data.

Update Your Information

You can update your account and profile information or close your account through your profile settings.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal data from children under 18 years of age, and no part of the Service is directed to children. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal data in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at privacy@micrgames.com.

The Service is hosted in the United States (“U.S.”). If you choose to use the Service from the EEA, the UK or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal data outside of those regions to the U.S. for storage and processing.
