  1. Categories of Personal Data Processed by Kiron Interactive

    1. Personal data that is processed when you create a Kiron Interactive account:

      When you create a Kiron Interactive account, we ask you to provide your email address and name. You can choose to provide only your first name or a nickname instead of your full name if you wish.

      Purposes and Legal Grounds:

      (a) Kiron Interactive processes your email address because you use your email address and your password to sign in to your account. The legal ground for processing your email address for this purpose is based on Kiron Interactive’s legitimate interest in protecting the security of your account.

      (b) Kiron Interactive also processes your email address for the purpose of sending you important information about your Kiron Interactive account, such as updates, reports, important safety information or material changes to the website’s policies. The name you provide is associated with your account profile, and is displayed when you submit comments or other material on a Kiron Interactive website forum. The legal ground for processing your email address and name for these purposes is Kiron Interactive’s legitimate interest in providing you with important safety or other information about your Kiron Interactive account or material changes to policies, and in providing you an opportunity to engage with other users.

      (c) If you provide your opt-in consent to receiving marketing information from Kiron Interactive, Kiron Interactive will also process your email address for the purpose of sending you marketing information about Kiron Interactive products. The legal ground for processing your email address for this purpose is your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your preferences in your Kiron Interactive account or through the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our marketing emails. The marketing emails you receive from Kiron Interactive are based on the preferences you provide in your Kiron Interactive account, the locale indicated by your Internet Protocol (IP) address and any subscriptions included in your Kiron Interactive account. The legal ground for processing this data for this purpose is Kiron Interactive’s legitimate interest in reducing the number of marketing emails sent to each particular customer by selecting which customers receive a particular marketing email rather than sending every marketing email to every customer who has consented to receiving marketing emails.

      (d) Kiron Interactive also processes your email address to associate it with your Kiron Interactive account when you interact with our customer support representatives. The legal ground for this processing is our legitimate interest in providing quality customer support and ensuring security of person.

    2. Personal data that is processed when you communicate with Kiron Interactive:

      When you interact with our customer support representatives via email, telephone, online or otherwise, we collect personal data, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address and contact preferences; and information about the Kiron Interactive website you are using. We also may create event logs that are useful in diagnosing product or performance-related issues, and capture information relating to the support or service issue. To improve customer service, and subject to applicable laws, we may also record and review conversations with customer support representatives, and analyse any feedback provided to us through voluntary customer surveys. Our customer support representatives may only use your account details with your explicit consent and only in order to sign in to your Kiron Interactive account, if appropriate, to help troubleshoot and resolve your issue.

      Purposes and Legal Grounds:

      We use this information to provide you with customer and product support and to monitor the quality and types of customer and product support we provide to our customers. The legal ground for processing this information for these purposes is Kiron Interactive’s legitimate interests in providing quality product support. The legal ground for signing in to your Kiron Interactive account, if appropriate, to help troubleshoot and resolve your issue is consent, which you may withdraw.

    3. Personal data that is processed when you purchase a product on a Kiron Interactive website:

      If you purchase a product on a Kiron Interactive website, then Kiron Interactive will collect your name, mailing address and telephone number. We do not view or store your payment card information. A third party, Pay360, processes customer payment card information when Kiron Interactive customers use a payment card to make a purchase on a Kiron Interactive website. We recommend you carefully review Pay360’s Privacy Policy.

      Purposes and Legal Grounds:

      We collect your name, mailing address and telephone number so we can process your order and fulfil your purchase. The legal ground for processing your name, mailing address and telephone number for these purposes is performance of a contract. We also process your personal data as part of our fraud detection processes. The legal ground for processing your personal data for that purpose is our legitimate interest in protecting Kiron Interactive and our customers from attempts to engage in fraudulent transactions and underage gaming.

  2. Categories of Recipients of Personal Data

    Service providers

    We use technical service providers which may operate the technical infrastructure that we need to provide the services, in particular providers which host, store, manage, and maintain the Kiron Interactive websites, its content and the data we process.

    We use technical service providers to help us communicate with you. Those services track the activities associated with these emails, such as whether they were opened, whether links in the emails were clicked on, and whether purchases were made following clicks on those links. Kiron Interactive uses this data to analyse the level of engagement with its emails.

    Other disclosures:

    We may disclose personal data about you to others in certain situations:

    (a) if we have your valid consent to do so
    (b) to comply with a valid subpoena, legal order, court order, legal process, or other legal obligation
    (c) to enforce any of our terms and conditions or policies
    (d) as necessary to pursue available legal remedies or defend legal claims.

    We may also transfer your personal data to an affiliate, a subsidiary or a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of Kiron Interactive’s business or assets, including, without limitation, in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, provided that any such entity that we transfer personal data to will not be permitted to process your personal data other than as described in this Privacy Policy without providing you notice and, if required by applicable laws, obtaining your consent.
