3.0 YOUR DUTY TO INFORM US OF CHANGES

It is important that the Personal Data We hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep Us informed if your Personal Data changes during your relationship with Us.

This website includes links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave Our website, We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

5.0 THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

We collect, use, store and transfer different categories of Personal Data about you, which We have grouped together as follows:

  • Identity Data includes but is not limited to first name, last name, username or similar identifier, title, and date of birth;

  • Contact Data includes postal address, email address and telephone numbers;

  • Financial Data includes bank account, payment card details, and payroll data;

  • Marketing and Communications Data include your preferences in receiving marketing from Us and Our third parties and your communication preferences.

  • Profile Data information including your username and password, interests, preferences, records of your correspondence and engagement with Us and feedback and survey responses;

  • Technical Data commonly known as online identifiers and includes internet protocol (IP) address, unique mobile device identification numbers (such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, Identifier For Advertising (IDFA), and/or International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), type of device, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and geolocation, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website;

  • Transaction Data includes details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from Us;

  • Usage Data includes information about how you use Our website, mobile platforms, products, and services;

If you decide to make a payment for any of Our products and services, your Financial Data, which includes your bank account and payment card details, will be collected and processed by Our external payment service provider. We will not have access to, collect, use, store or transfer your Financial Data.

We also collect, use, and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data, for any purpose. Aggregated data is derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, We aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if We combine or connect aggregated data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, We treat the combined data as Personal Data, which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do We collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

We use mobile analytics software to allow Us to understand better the functionality of Our mobile software on your device. This software records information such as how often you play Our games, the events that occur within the games, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the games were downloaded from. We do not link the information We store within the analytics software to any personal information you submit within the games.

SOCIAL GAMING PLATFORMS

(A) GAME PUBLISHING PLATFORMS

We collect Personal Data including Identity Data and contact information, player identifiers and email addresses, from publishing platforms that make Our games available. These include but are not limited to Valve (Steam), Apple (iOS), and Google (Android). The publishing platforms are responsible for your accounts and Personal Data on their platforms, and We encourage you to read their privacy policies. We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as your publishing platform account is linked to your Jagex Account.

(B) MOBILE PLATFORMS

If you play Our games on your mobile device or tablet, We receive information about you from the IOS or Android app stores and other mobile platform providers. This information includes your username or device ID but does not include any financial information. Some of Our mobile platforms send information to Us that you authorise them to provide. We will only retain your data for as long as your account is linked to your Jagex Account.

(C) SOCIAL NETWORK LINKED ACCOUNTS

When you link your social network account via Google, Facebook, or Apple to play Our games on Our mobile platform or website, We receive information about you from your social network provider. This information includes your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture. We will only retain your data for as long as your account is linked to your Jagex Account.

(D) JAGEX AS A PUBLISHER

Where We enter into publishing arrangements with game development studios to publish their games on gaming platforms, both developer and publisher (Jagex) will process Personal Data and operate as separate controllers. Titles falling under these arrangements can be seen here. We advise you to read both this privacy policy and the privacy policy on the developer studio website.

IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

Where We need to collect Personal Data by law or under the terms of a contract We have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, We may not be able to perform the contract We have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with access to one of Our games). In this case, We may have to cancel a product or service you have with Us, but We will notify you if this is the case at the time.

Our legal basis for processing your personal information varies depending on the type of information We collect and the context in which We collect it.

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom or of a jurisdiction where similar legal requirements may apply, such as Brazil, Switzerland, and the European Union, We rely on several legal bases to process information about you. We will process information about you where We have your consent, where We have a Legitimate Interest to do so, where the processing is necessary for the Performance of a Contract with you, and where We have a legal obligation to process your information. For example, We typically rely on the following:

  • Consent when placing cookies on your device on the web (through Our cookie consent manager) to send you email marketing or to deliver third-party targeted advertising to you on Our services;

  • Our Legitimate Interests to process your information when providing you with customer service support, to serve targeted marketing of Our services (where you have subscribed for an account with Us or purchased goods or services from Us and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing), for fraud prevention and security purposes; and

  • Contractual Necessity to process information when you create a Jagex Account to enable Us to provide you with Our services.

All Our third-party processing partners are vetted under Our third-party due diligence process and have signed data processor contracts with Us.

10.0 INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

External Party CategoryTransfer PurposeLawful Basis

a) Technical partner

a) Contract

b) Marketing partner

  • appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Data Protection Laws . These safeguards include the use of standard contractual clauses/ data protection clauses approved by the UK Secretary of State or the European Commission (as appropriate) or binding corporate rules; or

  • the transfer is otherwise allowed under Data Protection Laws (including where We have your consent or the transfer is necessary for the Performance of a Contract with you).

11.0 DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, disclosed or being unavailable. In addition, We limit access to your Personal Data to those employees, agents, professional advisers, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know on the principle of least privilege (PoLP). They will only process your Personal Data on Our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We periodically review all privacy and security policies and update them when necessary, in line with changes in Data Protection Laws or when new technologies are introduced into Our business.

Where the introduction of new technologies results in a high risk to your Personal Data, We will perform a data protection impact assessment and will only proceed if We are able to mitigate any identified high risks. Methods of collecting Personal Data are reviewed by management before they are implemented to confirm that Personal Data is obtained:

a) fairly, without intimidation or deception, and

b) lawfully, adhering to all relevant rules of law, whether derived from statute or common law, relating to the collection of Personal Data.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected Personal Data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where We are legally required to do so.

12.0 DATA RETENTION

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes We collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. A copy of Our Data Retention Schedule is available upon request.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, We consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which We process your Personal Data and whether We can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

By law, We have to keep basic information about Our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six tax years plus the current tax year as part of Our legal obligations to do so. In some circumstances, you can ask Us to delete your data: see Request erasure below for further information.

In some circumstances, We may anonymise your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case We may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

DATA DISPOSAL

Once the data retention periods above expire, digital records are permanently destroyed or fully anonymised if retained for statistical or research purposes. In this case, all personal identifiers are removed permanently so individuals cannot be identified.

Under certain global Data Protection Laws (including UK and EU Data Protection Laws) and under certain circumstances, you have rights in relation to your Personal Data. We set out below a brief description of such rights:

  • To be informed : Individuals have the right to be informed about the collection and use of their Personal Data. This is a key transparency requirement under UK and EU Data Protection Laws. This privacy policy and Our cookie policy meet this requirement.

  • Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"): This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data We hold about you subject to certain exemptions.

  • Request rectification of your Personal Data : This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data We hold about you corrected, though We may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide.

  • Request erasure of your Personal Data : This enables you to ask Us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for Us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask Us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where We may have processed your Personal Data unlawfully or where We have a legal obligation to erase your Personal Data. Note, however, that the right to request erasure is not absolute, and there are circumstances where We do not need to comply with the request, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

  • Object to processing of your Personal Data : This enables you to object to processing where We are relying on Our Legitimate Interest (or those of a third party) to process your Personal Data or where We are processing your Personal Data for scientific or historical research or statistical purposes. We do not need to stop processing if We can give strong and legitimate reasons to continue processing your Personal Data. You also have the right to object where We are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. This is an absolute right but does not automatically mean that We need to erase all of your Personal Data, and in particular, We may put your details on a suppression list to ensure We don't send you direct marketing in the future.

  • Request restriction of processing your Personal Data : This enables you to ask Us to suspend the processing of your Personal Data in certain scenarios, including (a) if you want Us to establish the data's accuracy; or (b) you have objected to Our use of your data, but We need to verify whether We have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

  • Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or a third party : We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to Personal Data you have provided to Us, which you initially provided consent for Us to use or where We used the Personal Data to perform, or take steps prior to performing, a contract with you and where the processing is automated.

  • Withdraw consent at any time where We are relying on consent to process your Personal Data : However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, We may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case when you withdraw your consent.

Please note that the above rights are not all absolute and are subject to applicable Data Protection Laws and may be subject to conditions and provisions set out in applicable Data Protection Laws. For further information or if you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please get in touch with Us.

NO FEE IS USUALLY REQUIRED

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, We may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

We may need to request specific information from you to help Us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up Our response.

TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take Us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests, in which case We will inform you of an extension period of up to 2 months. In this case, We will keep you informed on progress.
