you voluntarily provide it to us with your specific, informed, and unambiguous consent (for example, through the Game Discord channel);
it is necessary to provide you with a Service that you have requested (for example, providing you access to the Game);
we have a legitimate business interest that is not outweighed by your privacy rights (for example, to ban users); or
it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of others (for example, we may collect or share Personal Information where necessary to resolve an urgent medical situation or protect the health or safety of one of our users or someone else).

7. In what situations do we disclose your Personal Information?

We may disclose your Personal Information to a third party, such as a service provider or contractor for a business or operational purpose, or with your consent.

8. How is my Personal Information protected?

Our Retention, Purpose Limitation, and Security Policies
‍We protect your Personal Information through a combination of collection, security, and retention policies.

Limited retention: We retain each category of Personal Information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the Personal Information was provided to us or, if longer, to comply with any legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce contracts. For example, we may retain Personal Information collected about you to prevent repeated violations or suspected violations of our Terms of Service if your account has been banned or your access to the Services has been disabled for any reason. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Information, the purposes for which we process the Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. For example, subject to the foregoing considerations, it is our policy to delete your Personal Information if we stop operating the Game or feature through which the Personal Information was acquired.

Purpose limitation: We will use your Personal Information only for the Services you choose to access and for the purposes notified to you, unless we otherwise obtain your consent. We limit the collection of Personal Information to what is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary for those purposes.

Security measures: We use appropriate measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the volume and nature of Personal Information processed and risk involved, considering the size, scope, and type of our business, and have implemented contractual, technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. As part of our privacy compliance processes, we review these security procedures on an ongoing basis to consider new technology and methods as necessary. However, please understand that our implementation of security measures as described in this Notice does not guarantee the security of your Personal Information. In the event of a security breach, we will notify the proper regulatory authorities and any affected users of the breach within 72 hours after we become aware of the breach.

Your Practices and Activities
Your practices and activities are likewise very important for the protection of your Personal Information. You can take certain steps to help protect your Personal Information, such as being mindful of what you share publicly in the Game or on the Game Discord channel, including the below.

Do not use your real name when selecting a username.

Do not share your real name or anything private about yourself or anyone else with other users of the Game or Game Discord channel.

Do not pick a password that is easy to guess, and do not share your password.

Please remember that we have no control over what third parties do with the content of your communications and no responsibility or obligation regarding third parties.

9. How do we treat Personal Information transferred to the United States?

Place of Business
We may store or process your Personal Information outside of the country where we collect the information or the country in which you reside. Our primary place of business is in the United States. You should understand that we may transfer some or all of your Personal Information to the United States to carry out certain operational and processing needs as described in this Notice.

Transfer Mechanisms
When transferring Personal Information out of foreign territories, we implement technical, organizational, and physical safeguards to protect your Personal Information.
