We may receive transaction-related information necessary to confirm and manage your purchase, such as payment status, transaction identifiers, billing information, and the payment method used.

2. SOFTWARE AND LICENSE INFORMATION

Certain Game Night Masters games may use license activation or verification technology to confirm that the software is being used in accordance with its license.

When you activate or use these products, we may collect or process information such as:

  • installation information;

  • operating system information;

  • prevent unauthorized sharing or piracy;

  • troubleshoot activation problems;

  • reset or transfer licenses where permitted; and

  • protect Game Night Masters, our customers, and our software from fraud or misuse.

Where reasonably possible, we seek to limit device information to what is necessary for licensing and security purposes.

We do not use device identifiers collected solely for license activation to determine the contents of your computer or access your personal files.

When you visit our store or make a purchase, Shopify may process personal information on our behalf and may also process certain information for its own purposes as described in Shopify's applicable privacy policies.

Information processed through Shopify may be stored or processed in countries other than the country in which you live.

Where applicable privacy law gives you the right to opt out of certain forms of sharing or targeted advertising, we will provide the required mechanism for exercising that right.

11. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Game Night Masters is based in Ontario, Canada and sells products to customers around the world.

Our service providers may operate servers or process information in Canada, the United States, and other countries.

As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in a country different from where you live.

When personal information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable privacy law, we take appropriate measures relating to international transfers of personal information.

12. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business, legal, accounting, security, licensing, and compliance purposes.

For example, certain purchase and license records may need to be retained so that we can:

  • verify that you purchased a product;

  • continue providing access to your license;

  • provide customer support;

  • process license transfers or resets;

  • prevent fraudulent use;

  • maintain financial and tax records; and

  • comply with legal requirements.

Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable law.

13. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.

We also rely on established service providers, including our ecommerce and payment providers, to maintain appropriate security measures for information they process.

However, no internet transmission, database, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

14. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights concerning your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;

  • request information about how your information has been used or disclosed;

  • opt out of certain targeted advertising or data-sharing practices;

  • request portability of certain information where applicable; and

  • submit a complaint to an applicable privacy regulator.

These rights are subject to applicable law and may have exceptions.

Canadian customers may request access to personal information we hold about them and may request correction of information that is inaccurate or incomplete, subject to applicable law.

16. EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA AND UNITED KINGDOM

If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or United Kingdom, applicable privacy law may provide additional rights concerning your personal data.

Depending on the circumstances, our processing may be based on:

  • performance of a contract, such as fulfilling your purchase and providing your software license;

  • our legitimate interests, such as preventing fraud and protecting our software;

  • your consent; or

  • compliance with a legal obligation.

Where applicable, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to certain processing, or receive a portable copy of certain personal data.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority responsible for your jurisdiction.

17. UNITED STATES PRIVACY RIGHTS

  • delete personal information;

  • obtain a portable copy of certain information;

  • opt out of certain targeted advertising;

  • opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information; and

  • limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable.

We will honour privacy rights required by laws applicable to Game Night Masters.

18. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our website and online store are intended for individuals capable of making purchases and entering into agreements under applicable law.

Game Night Masters does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children for the purpose of creating customer accounts or making purchases where parental or guardian consent is legally required.

Our games may be played by children, including in schools, churches, family events, and other group settings. The fact that a child participates in a game does not necessarily require that Game Night Masters receive personal information about that child.

Event hosts, schools, organizations, parents, and guardians are responsible for ensuring that any personal information they choose to enter into or use with our products is handled appropriately.

19. USER-IMPORTED CONTENT

Some Game Night Masters products may allow users to import their own questions, spreadsheets, names, images, audio, or other content.

Unless a particular feature expressly states otherwise, content stored locally within the game on your computer is not automatically transmitted to Game Night Masters merely because you use our software.

If a future online or cloud-based feature transmits user content to our servers or service providers, we may provide additional privacy information relating to that feature.

You are responsible for ensuring you have appropriate authority to enter personal information belonging to other individuals into the software.

20. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Game Night Masters is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you use.

21. BUSINESS TRANSFERS

If Game Night Masters is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction where permitted by applicable law.

Any successor organization receiving personal information will be required to handle that information in accordance with applicable privacy obligations.

22. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our business, products, technology, service providers, or legal requirements.

When we update this Privacy Policy, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy.

Where required by law, we may provide additional notice of material changes.
