You have several rights regarding your personal data. Though these rights may vary depending on your location.
You have various rights concerning the data that we keep about you. If you would like to contact us about any of your rights under applicable data protection laws, please use the contact details set out below. We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and in any event within any time limits provided for in applicable data protection law (subject to any extensions to which we are lawfully entitled). Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise.
In addition, for users located in the EU only, the European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") gives you the following rights concerning your personal data:
While the processing of your personal data is based on legitimate interests according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR or any other applicable laws and regulations in your country of residence, you have the right to object to our processing.
This right enables you to object to us processing your personal data where we do so for one of the following reasons:
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless there are compelling and prevailing legitimate grounds of processing as described in Article 21 of the GDPR or any other applicable laws and regulations in your country of residence; in particular, if the data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If we have previously obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities (e.g. for marketing), you may withdraw this consent at any time and we will cease to use your data for that purpose unless there is an alternative legal basis to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose, in which case we will inform you of this condition.
You may ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or delete such information. We will not charge you for this unless the law permits it, but if you request further copies of this information, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost. We may refuse your request in cases in which we legally have the right to do so. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.
You have the right to request that we "erase" your personal data in certain circumstances. Normally, this right exists where:
Only in limited circumstances can we refuse to comply with your request for erasure and we will always tell you our reason for doing so. If your request for the erasure of data is approved, we will take all reasonably practicable steps to delete the relevant data.
As a result of deleting your data, you will lose access to Studiobside's Services, including your Account, subscriptions, and game-related information linked to the Account and the possibility to access other services through it.
You have the right to request that we restrict our processing of your personal data under the conditions set out in Article 18 of the GDPR or any other applicable laws and regulations in your country of residence, for example, if you believe the personal data we hold about you is not accurate or if you object to our processing of your personal data for our legitimate interests. If we have shared your personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the restricted processing unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will, of course, notify you before lifting any restriction on processing your personal data.
You have the right to request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you. If we have shared this personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the rectification unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You may also request details of the third parties that we have disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete personal data to. Where we think that it is reasonable for us not to comply with your request, we will explain our reasons for this decision.
If you wish, you have the right to transfer your personal data between service providers under the conditions set out in Article 20 of the GDPR or any other applicable laws and regulations in your country of residence. This means that you can transfer the details we hold on you to another third party. To allow you to do so, we will provide you with your data in a commonly used machine-readable format so that you can transfer the data. Alternatively, we may directly transfer the data for you.
You also have the right to complain to your applicable data protection authority. Contact details for data protection authorities in the EU are available.
The Service is primarily intended for (i) people in Europe aged 16 or older; (ii) people in the U.S aged 13 or older, or (iii) people outside of Europe and the U.S who reached the applicable age as defined in their country of residence or who are older than such applicable age.
We, therefore, do not knowingly collect any personal data from (i) children under 16 in Europe; (ii) children under 13 in the U.S., or (iii) children under the applicable age in any other country. Any person who provides their personal data to us through the Service confirms that he or she is of an applicable age. If we learn that the personal data of people under these age restrictions have been collected, we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and discover that your child is under these age restrictions and has obtained an account with us or has provided personal data to us, you may contact us using the contact details set out above and request that we delete your child's personal data and account.
We will review this Privacy Policy periodically and may modify and update it at any time. It is your responsibility to re-read this page from time to time.
