1. About us
We are the controller of your personal data processed through the Site. This means that we determine the purposes and means of personal data processing.
Should you have some questions concerning our processing your personal data undefined hereunder, do not hesitate to reach us at legal@burny.games
2. About you
When you visit our Site, you become our user (“User”).
We divide Users into categories to help you better understand how your personal data is processed. Please note that you may fall into more than one category depending on your actions.
We do not intentionally collect personal information from children under the age of 13 and our services are not targeted at children. If you are under 13, please do not send any data to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. If we find out that we have collected personal data about a child under age 13, we will delete that data as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any data from or about a child under the age of 13, please let us know.
3. Categories and sources of your Personal Data
In the course of providing our services, we collect and process different types of personal data depending on how you interact with our Site or App. To help you better understand how your information is handled, we’ve outlined the categories of personal data associated with each type of user: Visitor, Client, Feedback Provider, and Job Applicant.
Some of this data is provided directly by you (e.g., when filling out a form or registering an account), some is collected automatically (e.g., device and usage data), and some may come from third parties or public sources.
You can explore the tables below to learn which data categories may apply to you, based on your interactions with our services.
Visitors’ Data
Clients’ Data
Feedback Providers’ Data
Job Applicants’ Data
You are under no obligation to provide us with your Personal Data. However, some Personal Data is necessary so that we can supply you with the Services. For example, if you do not provide us with Registration Data, we will be unable to set up your account in the Game and allow you to play.
4. How we use your Personal Data
We process your Personal Data to provide, maintain, and enhance our Services, ensure security, support users, and deliver a personalized experience. Depending on the specific purpose, we rely on various legal bases such as the fulfillment of a contract, your consent, or our legitimate interests. The table below outlines the main purposes for which we use your Personal Data and the corresponding legal grounds for such processing:
Most ad serving companies collect and use Personal Data pursuant to their own privacy policies/notices and may combine information collected in the context of delivering an offer or ads to you via our Services with other information they have independently collected over time and/or across different websites/apps.
As to the EU users, a list of ad companies that operate their own networks on our Services, links to their privacy statements, and opt-in options or opt-out options, where applicable can be found at the respective pop-up in our App.
In compliance with Google's EU User Consent Policy, we obtain explicit consent from users in the UK, EEA, and Switzerland before collecting, sharing, or using personal data for ad personalization and\or analytics. This clause is effective as of July 31, 2024, for Swiss users.
You can stop receiving personalized ads from third parties in our Games at any time. To do this, you can change the privacy settings in the Games, contact us at legal@burny.games, or adjust the privacy settings on your device (detailed instructions for Android users are available here, and for iOS users here).
Please be aware that opting out of receiving targeted advertising does not imply that you will no longer receive any advertising. Instead, you may encounter contextual advertising that is less tailored to your interests, preferences, and needs.
5. When we share your Personal Data with others
We may share your personal data with trusted third parties to operate, support, and improve our Services. These parties include:
In addition to the disclosures for the purposes identified above, we may disclose your Personal Data to third parties:
-
To comply with legal obligations and respond to requests from government agencies;
-
To address disputes and claims, or to establish, exercise, and protect our rights.
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, Personal Data may be one of the transferred business assets. In any case, guarantees provided by this Privacy Notice will remain in full force.
6. How we commit international data transfers
As a multinational business, we engage service providers from different countries, including countries outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland. We take measures to provide an appropriate level of data privacy protection:
-
Adequacy: We may transfer Personal Data to a third country when such a third country has received a finding of “adequacy” from the relevant regulator(s);
-
Appropriate safeguards: We are providing appropriate safeguards by entering binding, standard data protection clauses adopted by the relevant regulator(s) and enforceable by data subjects in the EEA, UK and Switzerland;
-
Derogations: Depending on the circumstance, we also collect and transfer Personal Data based on certain derogations such as explicit consent of the data subject, performance of a contract involving the data subject, important public interest reasons, establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data outside of the EEA, UK and Switzerland, please contact us.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you reside, you may be entitled to specific rights under data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, PIPEDA (Canada), or various U.S. state privacy laws. These rights are designed to give you greater control over how your personal data is collected, used, and shared.
The tables below provide an overview of the rights available to residents of the European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, and applicable U.S. states. If you are a resident of a country whose laws are not covered by this notice, please refer to the section on Data Subject Rights for the European EEA and UK residents.
If you wish to make a request or have questions about your privacy rights, please reach out to us at legal@burny.games.
You are not required to pay any fee to exercise your data protection rights.
European Economic Area and United Kingdom Residents
If you make a request, we have a 30-day period to respond to you. In case we need a longer timeframe, we will notify you by email with an anticipated date of our response.
If you believe that your rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Cyprus (the jurisdiction of our registration). Commissioner's website: http://www.dataprotection.gov.cy.
If you are within the EU, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence or place of work. You can find the list of data protection authorities in the EEA at https://edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/about-edpb/members_en.
United States Residents
If you are a resident of a U.S. state with active privacy legislation—including but not limited to California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia—you may be entitled to specific rights regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your personal information.
These rights vary by state but generally include the ability to access your personal data, request its deletion or correction, limit how it is used, or opt out of certain types of data processing.
The table below provides an overview of the privacy rights that may be available to you depending on your state of residence:
If, upon exercising your Right to Appeal, you remain dissatisfied with the outcome, you have the right to contact the privacy authority in your state, such as your State Attorney General’s Office, to file a formal complaint or inquiry.
Please note that while Burny Games does not sell your personal data in the traditional sense (i.e., in exchange for money), some privacy laws adopt broader definitions of “sale.” For example, laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) define “sale” to also include the sharing or processing of user data with third parties for the purposes of interest-based advertising. Therefore, the transmission of device identifiers or similar data through advertising SDKs may potentially be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under these laws.
If you reside in one of the U.S. states listed in the table above that grants you the right to opt out of such sharing or “sale”, you can do so by:
-
Adjusting your privacy settings directly within the app to disable interest-based advertising; or
-
Contacting us at legal@burny.games to request manual processing of your opt-out preference.
Once your request is received, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal data is excluded from any practices that could be classified as a “sale” under applicable privacy laws.
* Rights of California Residents
We are committed to respecting your privacy and providing transparency around how your personal information is handled. If you are a California resident, you are entitled to certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other applicable privacy laws. These rights are outlined below.
Canada Residents
8. How we secure your Personal Data
To help protect the privacy of Personal Data, we maintain physical, technical, and administrative safeguards. We update and test our security technology on an ongoing basis. We restrict access to your Personal Data to those employees and vendors who need to know that information to provide Services to you and communicate with you at your request. Also, we train our employees and contractors about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your Personal Data.
9. How we store your Personal Data
We will not keep your Personal Data for longer than required. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data, and what the law requires us to do. When we no longer need to keep your Personal Data, we anonymize or delete it. In certain cases, we need to securely retain certain Personal Data to fulfill our legal and regulatory obligations.
