D. FOR UNITED KINGDOM AND EUROPEAN UNION/EEA USERS

The UK Data Protection Act of 2018 (DPA 2018) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provide certain rights regarding the processing of personal data of EU/EEA/UK data subjects.  This section of the Privacy Notice applies if you are in the United Kingdom or a country that is a Member of the European Union or EEA, and supplements the information in the Privacy Notice.

Clear River Games AB is the data controller for the processing of your personal data, as defined under the DPA 2018 and the GDPR, collected by the Company from visitors to the clearrivergames site (the “Site”).

LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

We collect and process your personal data for the purposes set out in the Privacy Notice.  Our legal basis to process personal data includes processing that is: (1) necessary to comply with legal requirements (for example, where we have a legal or regulatory obligation or to defend claims); and/or (2) necessary for our legitimate interests (for example, to improve our Site).  

UK AND EU/EEA DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

Where we process your personal data, you have a number of rights over how the data is processed and can exercise these rights at any point in time.  Below is an overview of these rights, many of which are subject to exceptions under applicable law.   You can exercise these rights by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., and indicating “GDPR Request” or “UK DPA Request” in the subject line.

The right to access and rectification.  You have the right to access, correct and update your personal data at any time.  

The right to object to or restrict processing.  Under certain circumstances, you have the right to object to or restrict our processing of your personal data.  For example, where we process personal data based on our legitimate interests, you may object to this.  We will need to carefully consider your request, as there may be circumstances which require us, or allow us, to continue processing your data.  However, you have an absolute right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, and no exception applies to such a request.

The right to lodge a complaint with a Supervisory Authority.  You have the right to lodge a complaint directly with the relevant Supervisory Authority about how we process your personal data.

The right to erasure.  Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete your data.  If you wish to delete the personal data we hold about you, please let us know, and we will take reasonable steps to respond to your request in accordance with legal requirements.  

The right to data portability.  With respect to the personal data you have provided to us, in addition to the general right of access described above, you may have, subject to certain exceptions, rights to (i) receive a copy of it in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, (ii) transmit the data to another data controller, and (iii) depending on the circumstances, have us perform that transmission.  

RETENTION OF PERSONAL DATA

We will keep your personal data for as long as we need it to fulfill the purposes for which the personal data was collected, or while there is a legitimate reason for doing so, and as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law, such as in relation to our record retention obligations.  

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Personal data of our UK or EEA users may be transferred outside the UK or EEA to countries that may not have data protection rules that require the same level of protection, but we will make sure that there are appropriate mechanisms and controls in place to protect your data.  This may include data transfer agreements, a copy of which you can obtain by contacting us.  We use these data transfer mechanisms – and not consent – as the legal basis for our own transfers of personal data from within the UK or EEA to outside the UK or EEA (even when other aspects of our handling of personal data take place on the basis of consent).

6. HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we have about you against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use.  However, no data transmission or storage, or use of the Internet, can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

7. TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION

The Site is hosted in and managed from multiple countries and regions, which may be outside the country in which you initially provided the information.  We may transfer the personal information we collect about you to another country, which may not be deemed to have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information.  Applicable laws in the origin country and/or other countries may allow the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities to access your personal information when in such a country.  

If you are a user located outside the country to which your information may be transferred, you understand (and, as permitted under applicable law, consent to) having any personal information processed in that country. When we transfer your information, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Notice.

For your convenience and information, our Site includes links to affiliates’ sites, including their careers sites, apps and services, as well as those of third-parties that may be operated by companies not affiliated with Clear River Games AB.  Our affiliates have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review.  Third-party sites may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, newsletters or applications developed and maintained by those unaffiliated third-party companies.

9. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY NOTICE

From time to time, we may change our Privacy Notice to reflect changes to our privacy practices and our Site.  If we modify the Privacy Notice, we will update the “Last Modified Date” and the changes will be effective as of the date we post such Notice.   For material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on our Site indicating at the top of the Privacy Notice when it was most recently updated and/or seek your consent as may be required.
