What Personal Data Do We Collect?

Under the GDPR (Article 4.1), ‘Personal Data’ is defined as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. It can include obvious identifiers like your name but also identification numbers, online identifiers and/or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that person. ‘Special category data’ includes data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning health or data concerning a person’s sex life or sexual orientation. Every time you visit our website, move from page to page, read pages, or download content onto your computer, we learn which pages are visited and what content is downloaded. However, this is measured only in aggregate and not on an individual basis. When you send us an e-mail or ask us to respond to you by e-mail, we learn your e-mail address and the information that you have included in the email form shown on our website. Every time you apply to one of the vacant positions, you send us your CV and we learn everything you have chosen to include in it. We may collect additional information from or about you when you communicate with us, contact our customer support teams or respond to a survey.

Purpose And Legal Basis for Collecting and/or Processing Personal Data

We collect and process personal data based on one or more of the following legal bases:

    • Consent: the individual has given clear consent for us to process their personal data for a specific purpose.
    • Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract we have with the individual or their organization, or because they have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.
    • Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations).
    • Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life.

We use the aggregate statistical information to determine how many people visit our website and which sections of the site are visited most frequently. This helps us to know what type of information is most popular so that we can improve our website and make it easier for you to access this information. We record the statistical information on the number of visitors to our website but no information about you, in particular, is kept or used. We use the data you have included in your CV for Recruitment purposes. In relation to the information we gain when you email us, we may use your email address to acknowledge your comments and/or reply to your questions and we may store your communication and our reply in case we need to correspond at a later date. We will not provide your e-mail address to anyone. You can withdraw your consent at any time and free of charge. Please refer to the section on “What Are Your Rights” or “Contact us” for more information on how to do that.

Do We Share Your Personal Data?

We may share your Personal Data or information about you with other parties for Ethereal Gaming’s business purposes or as permitted or required by law, including:

    •  If we need to do so to comply with a law, legal process, or regulations.
    • To law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or other third parties pursuant to a subpoena, a court order, or other legal process or requirement applicable to Ethereal Gaming.
    • If we believe, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of Personal Data is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Why Do We Retain Personal Data?

We retain Personal Data in an identifiable format for the least amount of time necessary to fulfil our legal or regulatory obligations and for our business purposes. We may retain Personal Data for longer periods than required by law if it is in our legitimate business interests and not prohibited by law. If your Account is closed, we may take steps to mask Personal Data and other information, but we reserve our ability to retain and access the data for as long as required to comply with applicable laws. We will continue to use and disclose such Personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The cookies we use have defined expiration times; unless you visit our Site within that time, the cookies are automatically disabled, and retained data is deleted.

International Transfers

Our operations are supported by a network of computers, cloud-based servers, and other infrastructure and information technology, including, but not limited to, third-party service providers. The parties mentioned above may be established in jurisdictions other than your own and outside the European Economic Area. These countries do not always afford an equivalent level of privacy protection. We have taken specific steps, in accordance with EEA data protection law, to protect your Personal Data.

What Are Your Rights?

Your principal rights under GDPR are:

    • The right to access: You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your Personal Data and, where we do, access to the Personal Data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of Personal Data concerned and the recipients of the Personal Data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply you with a copy of your personal data.
    • The right to rectification: You have the right to have any inaccurate Personal Data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete Personal Data about you completed.

Those circumstances include: the Personal Data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes, and the Personal Data has been unlawfully processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary: for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; for compliance with a legal obligation; or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
    • The right to restrict processing: In some circumstances, you have the right to restrict the processing of your Personal Data. Those circumstances are: you contest the accuracy of the Personal Data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the Personal Data for the purposes of our processing, but you require Personal Data for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection.
    • The right to withdraw consent: To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.
