  6. Transfers of your personal data

    Our headquarters is in the United States.

    No matter where you live, by using the Service you consent to the processing and transfer of your personal data in and to the United States. This processing will be under the privacy policies of third parties that we share personal data with.

    The laws of these countries governing data collection and use may not be as comprehensive or protective as the laws of the country where you live.

    If you would like more information, please contact us (see “How to contact us” below).

  7. EU residents’ rights

    We are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom). We are responsible as a controller of personal data for GDPR purposes.

    Your rights as an EU resident:

    Under the GDPR, EU residents have several important rights:

    • You can request a copy of your personal data
    • You can ask us to correct that personal data, delete it, or request that we use it only for certain purposes.
    • If you’ve consented to our processing, you can change your mind and ask us to stop using your personal data. For example, you can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time – just click the link in each marketing email.
    • In some circumstances, you can ask us not to use automated processing or profiling about you.

    If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email us at support@augustus.games. We may ask for additional info to verify that you’re the owner of that data.

    Also, in some cases where the law requires it, we may not be able to help with the above requests.

  8. How do we protect personal data?

    We have taken steps and put security measures in place to prevent the accidental loss or misuse of personal data.

    For example, we limit access to those who have a genuine business need. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorized manner.

    We use other security measures, as well:

    • Encryption in transit
    • Firewall and other physical and information security measures provided by our web server providers

    We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We’ll notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach when legally required.

  9. Resolving Disputes

    We hope that we can resolve any questions or concerns you raise about our use of your personal data.

    Please contact us at support@augustus.games to let us know if you have questions or concerns. We will do our best to resolve the issue.

    For EU residents, the GDPR also gives you right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may do this in the EEA state where you live, work, or where any alleged infringement occurred.

  10. How will we notify you of changes

    We last updated this Privacy Policy on October 21st, 2021.

    We may make further updates from time to time. If we have your email address on file, we will inform you via email. Otherwise, we will post a message on the Service about the change.
