How we treat personal information that is also sensitive information

Unless otherwise required or authorised by law, we will not collect sensitive information or special categories of data about you without first obtaining your consent.

​

How we process personal information 

We will rely on performing a contract and/or support of internal operations of the game, to process your personal information (this includes personal information of children) where we are preparing to enter into a contract with you or we are carrying out our obligations under a contract with you to provide the game to you and assist with any support requests. 

​

Where we are collecting personal information (this includes personal information of children) to provide the game or our website, which is not strictly necessary to the functionality of the game or the website but which may improve your experience, such as to collect analytics on game use, we will process your personal information for our legitimate interest and/or to support internal operations of the game. Where we process your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests you have the right to object. You may object to analytics being collected from the game, via the privacy button within the game settings which take you to a Unity run page and allow you to opt-out and exercise other privacy rights.

​

If we need to rely on consent, we will ask you for consent to process any of your personal information for that specific purpose before we process your personal information for that reason. For example, to send our newsletter to you. If you are under 16 years of age, we will ask for your parent or legal guardian’s consent on your behalf. 

​

We will rely on a legal obligation to process your personal information where we are subject to a legal obligation.

​

Our commitment to you 

Your personal information will: 

  • be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner by us; 

  • only be collected for the specific purposes we have identified in the ‘collection and use of personal information’ clause above and personal information will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with the purposes we have identified;

  • be collected in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose for which the personal information is processed; 

  • be kept up to date, where it is possible and within our control to do so (please let us know if you would like us to correct any of your personal information);

  • be kept in a form which permits us to identify you, but only for so long as necessary for the purposes for which the personal information was collected; and
