A lot of information that we ask you for, we need so that we can let you play our games. You can always choose not to give us your information but if you do so, you might not then be able to play. Where we do need certain information to run our games, we will always explain what it is and why. Using your data protection rights will never get you in trouble or result in you being treated unfairly.

**How long do we keep your information?**

We only keep information about you for as long as we need it. The law requires us to hold some basic details like your name and payment information for up to seven years, but we won't keep anything longer than needed.

**How do we keep your information safe?**

We have put measures in place to protect your information and keep it safe and to make sure that anyone who works with us keeps your information safe. This includes encrypting your data when it travels over the internet (think of it as a secret code), controlling who inside Jagex can access it, and training our staff on data protection.
