For purposes for which you give us consent

Therefore, as the abovementioned performance monitoring might involve access to these communications and postings, not use these communication channels for private or confidential messages.

What steps do we take to protect your personal information?

We use physical, technical, and administrative measures to safeguard information in our possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. Please note, however, that no data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, although we strive to protect the information we maintain, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us.

You should note that our Service Providers may be responsible for processing, handling or storing some of the personal information that we receive. They are not authorized to market to you independently. These Service Providers are contractually required to safeguard and secure the personal information they received from us. Although we strive to protect your personal information, you should be aware, however, that information sent over the Internet is not necessarily secure and may be intercepted or accessed by third parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the security of such information, and we are not responsible or liable for any such interception or unauthorized access.

How long do we retain your personal information?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which that information was collected and to the extent permitted by applicable laws (including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements).

For example, your registration information and any game data generated from your account's activity will be held for as long as your account remains active, or until the Game or platform expires. We may store certain data only for several minutes or several days, such as your log data, chat data, in-game activity data.

We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. When we no longer need to use your information, we will remove it from our systems and records and / or take steps to anonymise it promptly so that you can no longer be identified from it.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

If you would like to delete your data, please refer to the heading of “What choices do you have regarding the use of your personal information?” below.

What choices do you have regarding the use of your personal information?

As the subject of the personal information, you are entitled to have the rights provided by the privacy laws in your jurisdiction. Your rights may include part or all of those described underneath. You can exercise your rights entitled by the privacy laws in your jurisdiction at any time by sending us relevant requests to privacy@pwrd.com. Your rights may include:

Right to access your data

You have the right to access personal information we hold about you, how we use it, and who we share it with.

Right to correct your data

You have the right to correct any personal information held about you that is inaccurate. For example, you can contact us if your email address has been changed and we should replace your old email address.

Right to have your data deleted

You can delete your account (i.e. the account on our Service, excluding any account on the third party platforms, such as Sony), or remove certain personal information that we have stored about you. However, please note that we may need to retain personal information if there are valid grounds under data protection laws for us to do so (e.g., for the defense of legal claims or freedom of expression). If that is the case, we will inform you of such valid grounds.

Right to restrict processing and withdraw your consent

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 (such as where you believe such data to be inaccurate, our processing is unlawful or that we no longer need to process such data for a particular purpose). In cases where we have requested your consent to process personal information, you may withdraw your consent at any time by sending a communication to us specifying which consent you are withdrawing or by using the consent withdrawal functionalities available in our Service. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal.

Please note, however, that if we stop processing the personal information, we may use it again if there are valid grounds other than your consent, for example, when the processing is necessary to fulfil the obligations of a contract, processing is necessary to protect the vital interest of you or another natural person, or other legitimate reasons under data protection laws.

Right to take your data with you (“right to portability”, applicable to EU users only)

Additionally, you have the right to require us to transmit such personal data directly to another controller, where technically feasible. However, please note that we may not be able to provide you with personal information if providing it would interfere with another’s rights (e.g. where providing the personal information we hold about you would reveal information about another person or our trade secrets or intellectual property) or there are other limitations recognized under data protection laws.

Right to object to the way your data is handled

You have the right to object to our processing of personal information about you. In particular you have the right to object to being profiled for the purposes of direct marketing (for example where we collect information about you in order to decide what marketing to send you, based on your preferences or personal characteristics).

Right to lodge complaints to the supervisory authority

To help us verify that you are the subject of the personal information and exercise your rights outlined above, we may require you to provide sufficient proof of identification. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We will respond to all access requests within thirty days. This period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests we are handling at the time.

You have the right to lodge complaints about the data processing activities carried out by us before the competent data protection authorities, where existing. For more information on your right to lodge complaints to supervisory authorities, please refer to the Special Section for your jurisdiction.
