All Personal Data (as defined below) will be processed in accordance with applicable law, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, federal and State law in the United States governing personal data protection, and other relevant data protection laws. This Policy forms part of the Terms and Conditions and is directly incorporated therein. Any capitalized terms not defined in this Policy shall have the same meaning as given to them in the Terms and Conditions.
2. Collection of Data and Purpose
The passage you provided outlines the types of personal data that PlayMakers collects and processes for specific purposes, and the legal basis for each processing purpose. For example, PlayMakers collects and processes account information such as your name, email address, and phone number in order to create and maintain your user account. The legal basis for this processing is contractual, as PlayMakers requires this data to execute the Terms and Conditions and any other applicable Additional Terms that you agreed to when signing up for your User account.
PlayMakers also collects and processes data related to your use of the website in order to understand how users interact with the services and improve the user experience. The legal basis for this processing may vary depending on your location and the applicable law, but may be based on your consent or PlayMakers' legitimate interest. Additionally, PlayMakers collects and processes personal data in order to use the platform. The legal basis for this processing is also contractual, as PlayMakers requires this data to execute the relevant terms and conditions. PlayMakers also collects and processes personal data related to website and account security in order to detect, prevent, investigate, and/or trace any attempt to violate the terms and conditions or other applicable terms, such as by malicious hacking. The legal basis for this processing is PlayMakers's legitimate interest in detecting and preventing fraud.
Finally, PlayMakers collects and processes personal data related to user requests and communication in order to provide support and follow up on any questions or requests submitted through the Help Center or other method. The legal basis for this processing is also contractual, as support is integral to the services provided by PlayMakers.
3. Data Retention Period
PlayMakers will retain your Personal Data until the closure of your account. However, in some cases, PlayMakers may need to retain certain Personal Data beyond the account closure date due to legal obligations or requirements, and the applicable statutory limitation periods will apply. Personal Data processed for analytics or other study purposes will not be retained after the relevant reports, outputs, and/or insights have been produced. Personal Data processed for the use of the Services will only be kept for 15 months from the date of the relevant activity. Personal Data processed for fraud prevention and security matters will be kept for three (3) years and five (5) years, respectively. Personal Data processed for management of your questions and/or requests will be retained for a maximum of three (3) years. PlayMakers may store Personal Data for a longer duration pursuant to its legitimate interests and applicable legal obligations, but will delete the Personal Data or apply adapted measures to ensure that you can no longer be identified when the retention period expires. Access to the relevant Data will be restricted to a limited number of persons with a genuine need to access it.
4. Third Party Processor and Data Transfers
PlayMakers may utilize third-party service providers, referred to as "Processors," to assist in the maintenance, enhancement, analysis, and security of the Website, App, and Services. These processors may have access to Personal Data only for the purpose of carrying out the processing activity designated by PlayMakers. PlayMakers ensures that these service providers meet the applicable legal requirements and regulations and have sufficient guarantees for the performance of the processing activity. Personal Data may be processed outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). To safeguard the transfer of Data outside of the EEA, PlayMakers will take appropriate measures, including ensuring that the European Commission has taken an adequacy decision regarding the destination country, signing model contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission or the supervisory authority with the recipient, or verifying that the recipient adheres to an approved code of conduct or certification mechanism.
5. Data Sharing
The Company discloses your Personal Data to Third-Party Service providers and suppliers who assist in fulfilling the purposes set out in this Policy.
PlayMakers's API: PlayMakers provides an open platform for Users and developers to build new services, games, or applications. To enable access to certain public User information published on the PlayMakers website, we offer an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows authenticated and authorized users to access basic User information such as usernames, avatars, and wallet addresses, as well as information about collectibles, achievements, favorites, auctions, offers, purchases, sales, and notifications. However, please note that email addresses are never shared via our API.
Third-Party Services: Some content or features of the PlayMakers website and/or app are provided by Third-Party Service providers. To facilitate your access to such content and/or features, PlayMakers may share some of your Personal Data with these Third-Party Services and suppliers. Such providers may request additional Data from you. Regardless of whether they are integrated into the Website and/or App directly, these Third-Party Services collect and process any Data they receive according to their own privacy policies, for which they are solely responsible. Please consult the relevant privacy policy of any Third-Party Service for more information. It is important to note that PlayMakers and the Third-Party Service Provider both act as independent controllers as defined by the GDPR or Business as defined by the CCPA, and they must comply with all applicable data protection laws and regulations.
Judicial and Governmental Authorities: PlayMakers may share your Personal Data with competent courts, governmental, or public authorities if required by law or valid court order, and to the extent legally permitted.

7. User Rights
Many data privacy laws, such as the GDPR and some American state laws like CCPA, provide individuals with rights regarding their personal data and its processing. As a user of PlayMakers's website, app, and services, you have the right to access, correct, move, delete, and restrict the processing of your personal data.

To exercise your rights or make an enquiry regarding data privacy, you should send a request with proof of identity by mail to Playmakers at 229 Rue Saint Honoré, 75001, Paris FRANCE or by email to gdpr@playmakers.co.

If you wish to delete your account and associated personal information, you can make a request as described above. Please note that the deletion of your account will result in the irreversible deletion of the personal data associated with the account. To ensure that the history and traceability of each collectible you owned are maintained, your username will be pseudonymized and replaced by a random series of alphanumeric characters. Please also note that any collectibles and cryptocurrencies stored in your wallet must be transferred out of your account before any deletion request, as they will be permanently irretrievable otherwise. PlayMakers takes the protection of your personal data seriously and requires your help to be successful. By agreeing to this policy, you agree to keep your data on PlayMakers up-to-date, only provide accurate and current personal data, and obtain consent from any other individuals whose information you provide to PlayMakers.
