Information Collected from Payment Processors

Henceforth, we will have the right to disclose any and all collected PI and/or data, under the following circumstances: (i) if required under applicable law, rules or regulations; (ii) in response to a valid request or subpoena from a government or law enforcement agency; (iii) to defend ourselves and our affiliates, licensors, officers, agents and representatives from legal claims and processes brought to us by third parties (including takedown notices); (iv) to defend the property, rights and integrity of any of our users, advertisers or licensors; and/or (v) to stop or cause to cease any actions that we may consider to cause –whether allegedly or factually– a contingency or liability.

Your Rights As A Data Subject

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) allows individuals in the EU greater control over their personal data and grants them a number of rights with regard to how that data is processed, stored, and accessed.

For the purposes of the GDPR, in the European Union Yesgamers is both a “data controller” and a “data processor” of PI you provide to us for the primary purposes of providing you with our Services.

The section below covers the certain situations that you, as data subject, and we as a data controller, are most likely to see, but you should also carefully review the full list of data subject rights here: https://gdpr-info.eu/chapter-3/. You retain the right to access, amend, correct or delete your PI where it is inaccurate at any time. To do so, please contact [email protected].

Right to access your Personal Data – You may request a copy of your Personal Data and/or how we store your Personal Data.

Right to rectification – you may request to change some of your Personal Data and/or correct your Personal Data if this is inaccurate.

Right to erasure – you may request to delete all or some of your Personal Data. For example, if:

  • they are no longer needed for any processing purposes;
  • consent has been used as a legal basis for their processing;
  • there is no legitimate interest in the further processing of Personal Data.

Right to object – you may object to processing your Personal Data on grounds relating to your particular situation and/or to object processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes.

Right to object to automated processing – you may object to a decision based on automated processing. It means that you may request to review your Personal Data manually if you believe that automated processing of your Personal Data may not consider your unique situation.

Right for data portability – you may request to provide you a copy of your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format (e.g, XML, CSV). Furthermore, you have the right to request to transmit the said Personal Data directly to another controller.

Right to lodge a complaint – you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly to the European Union member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

If you are a California resident, you additionally may request from us the following information:

  • The categories of Personal Data we have collected about you;
  • The categories of sources from which the Personal Data was collected;
  • The categories of Personal Data about you we disclosed for a business purpose or sold;
  • The categories of third parties to whom the Personal Data was disclosed for a business purpose or sold;
  • The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the Personal Data; and
  • The specific pieces of your Personal Data we have collected.

If you are a California resident under 18 years old, you may request to remove any content or information you have posted on the Services.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via online chat or email at [email protected]. For security purposes, before exercising any of your rights, we may ask you to prove your identity.

Your privacy request must include, at the least, the following information: (i) your complete name, address and/or e-mail address in order for us to notify you the response to your request; (ii) attached documents establishing your identity; and (iii) a clear and concise description of the PI with regard to which you seek to enforce any of your privacy rights. If you request rectification, please indicate amendments to be made and attach documentation to back up your request. Upon receipt of your privacy request, and after due review, we may then edit, deactivate and/or delete your PI from our Services within thirty (30) days. In case of secure databases under our control where deletion is impossible, we will make such information permanently inaccessible.

Notice of Collection

In the past 12 months, we have collected the following categories of Personal Data listed in the CCPA:

  • Identifiers, including name, email address, and online identifiers (such as IP address).
  • Customer records, including credit or debit card information.
  • Commercial or transaction information, including records of products or services purchased, traded, and sold products or services.
  • Internet activity, including interactions with Websites, Apps, or advertisements.
  • Inferences drawn from the above information about your predicted characteristics and preferences.

Sale of Personal Data

We do not sell Personal Data as the term “sell” is traditionally understood. Although to the extent the word “sale” is interpreted under the CCPA, the fact that we use third-party cookies may be understood as a sale. We disclose the following categories of personal information: identifiers, commercial or transaction information, internet activity, and inferences drawn from Google Analytics, Facebook, TikTok, VKontakte (Third-party services). We only share Personal Data with Third-party services upon service contracts (Third-party services’ terms of use) to improve the service website functionality and provide personalized content and ads. If you do not want your Personal Data to be used for these purposes, please contact our Customer Support.

Personal Data Breach

A Personal Data breach may result in a physical, material, or non-material risk to your rights and freedoms if not addressed appropriately and promptly. Therefore, as soon as we become aware that a Personal Data breach has occurred, we will notify the Personal Data Breach to the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, unless we can demonstrate, following the accountability principle, that the Personal Data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms. Where such notification cannot be achieved within 72 hours, the reasons for the delay should accompany the notice without undue further delay.

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children or process such information without parental consent. For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, a child means any individual under 13 in the United States or under 16 in the European Union (or the minimum legal age to consent to the collection and processing of Personal Data where this is different under applicable law). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without consent, please contact us at [email protected].

Cross-Border Data Transfer

We may transfer Personal Data to data controllers and processors established outside the European Union (the “EU”) or European Economic Area (“the EEA”) for the purposes stipulated in this Privacy Policy. The countries where the data may be transferred may not provide adequate protection.

To ensure that Personal Data is safeguarded, stored, and processed securely, we use Standard contractual clauses (SCC) adopted by the European Commission as a mechanism to transfer data from the EU countries. Our partners established in countries with an inadequate level of personal data protection have adopted SCC, as appropriate, to ensure confidentiality, security, and legality of the processing of your personal data.

Email Communications & Opting Out

We collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail, aggregate information on what pages users’ access or visit, and information volunteered by the consumer (such as survey information and/or website registrations). We will send you Service-related announcements on occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our Service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, or a new enhancement is released, which will affect the way you use our Service, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. Based upon the PI that you provide us, we may communicate with you in response to your inquiries to provide the services you request and to manage your account, among other and other promotional communications. We will communicate with you by email or telephone, in accordance with your wishes. If you no longer wish to receive those email updates, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each update or communication.

Cookies & Web Beacons

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a web website’s computers and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are required to use the Services. We use cookies to record current session information, but do not require permanent cookies. We also use the so-called ‘beacons’, which are small files, sometimes only a pixel in size, embedded onto the pages of our websites. Beacons are used to identify each of our pages in order to be analyzed by our system. We may also collect and use the data contained in log files, which may include your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our platform, the time you visited our platform and which sections you visited. We do not currently offer “do-not-track” or similar mechanisms. Unlike cookies, device IDs cannot be deleted, but you can select to reset your Advertising IDs in the “Settings” section of your mobile device, among other.

Advertising, Opt-out Choice

From time to time, we may use Google Analytics, Ad Words, Double Click and/or Ad Sense tracking codes, and other third-party software tools (such as remarketing codes) in order to collect information and marketing analytics about the manner in which you browse our platform and services. The served ads will be targeted based on your previous browsing history, and may include retargeting codes. For example, third-party vendors may show you Yesgamers’ ads on certain websites across the Internet, even after you leave our platform. The collected information is anonymized, meaning it cannot be tracked back to individuals. Using such tools, we learn how to optimize, and serve ads based on a user’s past visits, providing you with a better user experience. Our third-party vendors may also use cookies and beacons to track your Internet browsing in order to serve you ads based on what they or us believe to be of interest according to your browsing activities and consumer preferences. Henceforth, by using our Service, along with our platform and websites, you hereby consent to such disclosure, treatment and storage of PI. In order to enforce and uphold your right to privacy, you will always have the option to elect not to receive this type of advertising from us or third parties. You can learn more about how to opt-out by browsing Google’s opting-out and privacy pages located at www.google.com, or the Network Advertising Initiative website located at www.networkadvertising.org.
