Privacy Policy

The Crowdfunding Agency SARL ("we" and "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we process the information we collect about you, how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information and procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy. We have included a glossary section to help you understand the meaning of some of the terms used in this privacy policy.

It is important that you read this Privacy Policy together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This Privacy Policy supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.

We are the data controller and are responsible for your personal data. If you have any queries about this Privacy Policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact us at: contact@crowdfunding-agency.com

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the CNIL, the French supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.cnil.fr).

Our website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy notice of every website you visit.

1. The Data We Collect About You

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).

We may collect, use, store and transfer the following kinds of information about you:

• Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier.
• Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers.
• Financial Data includes bank account and payment card details.

• Usage Data includes information about how you use our website, products and services.
• Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you. Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you.

2. How We Collect Your Personal Data

We use different methods to collect personal data including through direct interactions when you:

• Create an account on our website
• Subscribe to our newsletter
• Identify yourself as media with an interest in games and related topics
• Request marketing to be sent to you
• Enter a competition, promotion or survey
• Give us feedback

We also receive Technical Data from analytics providers such as Google based outside the EU, and Contact, Financial and Transaction Data from providers of technical, payment and delivery services such as PayPal based outside the EU. Identity and Contact Data may come from publicly available sources based inside the EU.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
• Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

• To deal with your enquiries and requests
• To manage payments, fees and charges and collect money owed to us
• To manage our relationship with you
• To enable you to partake in a prize draw, competition or complete a survey
• To administer and protect our business and website
• To deliver relevant website content and measure the effectiveness of advertising
• To use data analytics to improve our website, products and services
• To make suggestions and recommendations to you about goods or services that may be of interest to you

4. Disclosures of Your Personal Data

We may have to share your personal data with the following parties:

• Our employees
• Service providers acting as processors based in Ireland and the USA who provide IT and system administration services
• Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the United Kingdom
• HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances
• Third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or assets

5. International Transfers

Some of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
• Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield framework.

6. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

7. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your personal data and the applicable legal requirements.

8. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request correction of your personal data
• Request erasure of your personal data
• Object to processing of your personal data
• Request restriction of processing your personal data
• Request transfer of your personal data
• Right to withdraw consent

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data. We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: contact@crowdfunding-agency.com
