PLAYER PRIVACY POLICY

LAST UPDATED : 18 FEBRUARY 2024

This player’s privacy policy (the “Policy”) applies to personal data that we, HONG KONG KUNPAN CULTURE ENTERTAINMENT CO., LIMITED, hold about our players (“you”, “your”). This Policy is drafted in the English language and will be translated into other languages. The English language version of this Policy shall prevail if there is any conflict or inconsistency that requires clarification.

In this Policy, “Kunpan,” “we,” “us,” and “our” means HONG KONG KUNPAN CULTURE ENTERTAINMENT CO., LIMITED, a company registered in Hong Kong. This Policy deals with where we are acting as a ‘data controller’ under the data protection legislation: which essentially means where we are responsible for deciding what personal data we collect and how we use it. We also may operate as a ‘data processor’, meaning that we are processing personal data on behalf of another entity (for example a publisher of one of our games). When we refer to “Personal Data” we mean “personal” relating to you personally or from which you can be identified. Some of the information mentioned in this Policy is not “Personal Data” as is meant under data protection legislation, but we may refer to it to help you understand what we do.

IF YOU ARE YOUNGER THAN 18 YEARS OF AGE, YOU MUST REVIEW THIS POLICY WITH YOUR PARENT(S) OR GUARDIAN(S) AND THEY HAVE AGREED TO THESE TERMS ON YOUR BEHALF AND TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH THEM.

We are committed to protecting and respecting the personal data of everyone we deal with – that is important to us and we know it is important to you.In this Policy, you will find information about what types of personal data we hold about you, how and why we collect it, how we use it, and how we keep it secure.

5. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
There are a number of different legal grounds for processing personal data. Which one is applicable will depend on how we are using your information and for what purpose. In the majority of cases this condition will be that:

· You have provided your consent to us using your personal data in that way (for example where you provide us with consent to send you marketing communications about our products and services); and/or
· Our use of your personal data is in our legitimate interest as a commercial organisation provided it is conducted at all times in a way that is proportionate, and that respects your privacy rights; and/or
