  1. PERSONAL DATA THAT WE PROCESS

We process the following categories of personal data about you:

User data. During the registration process where you become a user, you will provide us with your username, birth date and password. For the purpose of restoring and changing your password you may provide us with your email. This information only becomes personal data if you use your real name as username or in the email, otherwise we cannot identify you through the user data.

Communications data. We will collect data when you contact us regarding the Service. Communication data may include user data and other relevant information you share with us about yourself or others. For example, we collect relevant information about your user support interactions with us, such as the date, time, method of contact and subject of the conversation. We will also store the communication from within the Service, such as comments and discussions from in-App, our websites, or our Discord channel, which may include personal data. We will also store and collect data related to your comments, liking, following, and sharing of our content on our social media channels including, but not limited to Tik Tok, Discord, Snapchat, Instagram, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin.

Survey data. We may contact you to participate in online user satisfaction surveys. If you decide to participate, you may be asked to provide certain information which may include personal information.

Competitions. In case you participate in our competitions we will need to collect certain information which may include personal information, such as your name or email, for the purpose of contacting the winner.

Technical data. We will collect technical data from mobile devices in connection with you use of the Service, such as IP address, browser type and version, screen resolution, preferred language, operating system, graphics display capabilities, RAM, available storage space, and platform. Technical data may also include information about how you use the Service, and if you encounter any technical errors. Even though we do not normally use technical data to identify individuals, sometimes individuals can be recognized from it.

User activity data. We save information about your activity in the Service in order to improve the Service, but also to enable user support and to enable you to unlock achievements and badges, and to operate leaderboards.

  1. HOW WE GATHER YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Information you give to us. Most of the information we collect about you is received from you. You may directly or indirectly give us information about yourself in different ways, for example during the registration process as explained above or by using the Service. You can always choose not to provide us with certain information. However, some personal data might become necessary in order for us to provide you with our Services (e.g. if you contact us for restoring your password or for us to provide you with achievements and badges). Moreover, we will gather information through analytics and service performance feedback mechanisms, such as pixels, attribution links, and potentially cookies if you access the service from a browser instead of the App.

  1. PURPOSES OF OUR PROCESSING AND LEGAL GROUNDS

We process your personal data for the following purposes and based on the following legal grounds:

To register your account. We will process your personal data (if any is given during the registration process) to register your account. This is necessary to enter into a contractual relationship with you and to pursue our legitimate interests, such as our interest in simplifying the registration process for our users and administering the contractual relationship.

To provide the Service to you. If your account information includes personal data, we will process your personal data to manage your account and to provide the Service to you. This include the provision of competitions, achievements, badges, customizations, delivering purchased items and services, and loyalty programs made available in the Service. This is necessary for us to fulfil the agreement we have entered into regarding our provision of the Service, i.e. the Terms of Use.

To market our Services. If you have given your consent, your contact information will be used to send newsletters or other information regarding the Service or Hiber. You can unsubscribe from the newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in any email received from us.

To provide user support. Your personal data (e.g. user data and technical data) may be used to investigate, respond to and resolve questions and problems with the Service (e.g. bugs), or to help you restore your password in case the email contains personal data. This processing is necessary to provide you with the Service and uphold our obligations towards you as set out in the Terms of Use and for our legitimate interest in the functionality of the Service.

To conduct user surveys. Your contact information may be used to conduct user surveys. By continuously collecting qualitative feedback from you and other users, we can gain a deeper understanding of our users’ problems and needs. This processing is necessary to pursue legitimate interests, such as our interest in developing and improving the Service. Participation in user surveys is optional.

To develop and improve the Service. We use technical data, survey data, and other aggregated and non-personal information to develop and improve the Service, including troubleshooting, data analysis, research, statistical purposes and testing (such as beta testing and evaluation of new features, in line with the fundamental nature of the Service). For example, we may collect and evaluate technical data about your use of the Service for analytical purposes, to understand how people use the Service in order to make it more intuitive, or more compatible with certain browsers, devices, and hardware configurations. This processing is partly necessary to provide the Service to you but mainly to pursue legitimate interests, such as our interest in developing and improving the Service and its features.

To fulfil our legal obligations. We are obligated to follow applicable laws. This means that your personal data is processed, including transferred and retained, to the extent necessary for us to uphold our obligations under applicable laws or other legal obligations, e.g. bookkeeping and reporting to the authorities.

To protect our legitimate business interests and defend us against or enforce legal claims. Your personal information will be used where we believe it is necessary to protect ours, your rights, or others’ legal rights, or other legitimate interests. Processing for this purpose can become necessary to defend us against or enforce legal claims. The legal ground for this processing is our legitimate interest to protect us, you and others and for us to defend against or enforce legal claims.

In connection with a merger or acquisition. In connection with, due to strategical or business-oriented reasons, a potential merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company, the personal data we retain about you may be processed, shared or transferred, to parties involved in the process. This processing is based on our legitimate interest of being able to develop our business.

  1. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We aim to deliver a great service and user experience. This means sharing information with trusted third parties:

Our employees and consultants. Your personal data will, when appropriate, be shared with some of our employees and consultants. However, we will restrict access to those of our employees and consultants who need it to perform their jobs, for example to provide you with user support. Our employees and consultants are subject to strict confidentiality.

Other users of the Service. If you choose to share for example a game created by you using our Service, or you write a comment in a comment-field or in Discord, such data and any potential personal information provided therein will be shared with other users of the Service.

Our service providers. We transfer to, or share, your personal data with our suppliers and subcontractors who help us provide the Service to you or supply other services to us which require the processing of personal data.

We provide personal data to third-parties solely for the purpose of delivering the Service and to manage our daily operations. Our suppliers and subcontractors are not authorized by us to use or disclose your personal data except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements.

Authorities and other public actors. Sometimes legal obligations may require us to share information about you, for example to respond to lawful requests from law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, and other public and government authorities. We may also disclose information if needed to detect and prevent fraud or in connection with a legal process, for example to enforce our Terms of Use or to protect our rights, or the rights of our affiliates, you, or others.

Merger, acquisition, or other business transfer. We may share or transfer your personal data in connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. However, please note that we will never sell your personal data to third-parties, unless we have your permission to do so.

  1. LINKS TO THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND WEBSITES

Our website and the Service may contain links to content or websites operated and hosted by third parties, e.g. our web-based merchandise shop. Users that follow such a link should review the terms and policies of such website, as they are the data controller for any personal information you may share at the third-party’s website.

  1. WHERE WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We always strive to process and store your data within the EU/EEA. However, your data may in certain situations be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the EU/EEA territory. Please note that privacy laws in countries outside of the EU/EEA may not be the same as, and in some cases may be less protective than, privacy laws in your country. However, we select our Service providers carefully and take all the necessary steps to ensure that your personal data is processed with adequate safeguards in place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).

  1. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. How long depends on the type of information and why we process it. We regularly review our need to keep data, taking into account applicable legislation.

Access and control over most personal data in the Service is available through the profile editing tools on the web page, within the apps, or on the platform. Users may therefore modify or delete any or all of their profile information at any time by logging into their accounts. Information is updated as soon as possible. Users who wish to deactivate their account may do so in their accounts on the web page, apps, or platform.

We keep your personal data until you delete your account or have been inactive for more than 3 years. If you do not deactivate or remove your information as described above, we will keep most of your information for as long as you have an account, but if you have been inactive on the Service, or in your communication with us for 3 years, we will delete your information. Even if you delete your account or withdraw your consent, we may keep your data if, to the extent we believe it is necessary for the protection of our, or others’ legal rights. Your data may also be stored for a longer period if required by applicable statutory retention periods, such as applicable periods for user claims from consumers and accounting rules.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS

Right to access your data. You have the right to request a transcript of personal data processed by us, and additional information on how the data have been collected, processed, shared, etc. The first transcript may be requested free of charge. However, repeated and unreasonable requests might result in us charging you an administrative fee as allowed for under GDPR.

Right to transfer your data. You also have, under certain circumstances, the right to transfer your personal data to another controller.

Right to object. You have right to object to processing based on legitimate interest. This means we may no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests. You can always contact us for more information on the balance test that has been made.

You may also object to your personal data being processed for direct marketing purposes.

Right to rectification. You have the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete information about yourself.

Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’). You have the right to request that we delete personal data about you, for example if the data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, or if there is no legal basis for processing the data.

Right to restriction. You are entitled to request that the processing of your personal data should be limited until inaccurate or incomplete information about you has been corrected, or until an objection from you have been handled.

Right to withdraw your consent. You may at any time withdraw any consent you have given us. However, please note that it will not affect any processing that has already taken place.

Right to complain. You have the right to lodge a complaint to the supervisory authority (as defined in the GDPR) in the country you live or work in, if you believe that we have not complied with our obligations regarding your personal data. For Sweden the relevant authority is Datainspektionen.

In any such arbitration, the parties and AAA must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; (c) the arbitrator may award injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim; and (d) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
