Your GDPR Rights
Under GDPR, you have the following rights:
1. Right of Access
You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
We will provide this within 30 days of your request.
The first copy is free. Additional copies may have a small fee.
2. Right to Rectification
You can ask us to correct any incorrect or incomplete data.
We will update your information within 30 days.
If we shared your data with others, we will inform them of changes.
3. Right to Erasure
Also called the "right to be forgotten." You can ask us to delete your data when:
- The data is no longer needed
- You withdraw consent
- You object to processing
- The data was processed unlawfully
Some data may be kept for legal reasons.
4. Right to Restriction
You can ask us to limit how we use your data when:
- You dispute the data accuracy
- Processing is unlawful but you don't want deletion
- We no longer need the data but you need it for legal claims
- You have objected to processing
5. Right to Data Portability
You can request your data in a common, machine-readable format.
You can ask us to transfer your data to another service.
This applies to data you provided and data processed by automated means.
6. Right to Object
You can object to processing based on:
- Legitimate interests
- Direct marketing
- Research or statistics
We will stop processing unless we have compelling reasons to continue.
7. Rights Related to Automated Decisions
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing.
Our game uses random number generation for entertainment. This does not affect your legal rights.
8. Right to Withdraw Consent
If we process your data based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
Withdrawal does not affect processing done before withdrawal.
