Privacy Policy

With this privacy policy we inform you about the scope of the processing of your personal data (hereinafter "data"). In principle, we will only use your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the United Kingdom's Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and only as described in this privacy policy.

What is Personal data?

Personal data is any information relating to personal or material circumstances that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. This includes, for example, your name, date of birth, e-mail address, postal address, or telephone number as well as online identifiers such as your IP address. In contrast, information of a general nature that cannot be used to determine your identity is not personal data. This includes, for example, the number of users of a website. However, we reserve the right to put this data to additional uses to the extent permitted or required by law or necessary to support legal or criminal investigations. In this case, we will inform you again about this further data processing to the extent required by law and obtain your consent.

Responsible for data processing

The party responsible for data processing in accordance with the provisions of the DPA and GDPR is:

Evil Kiwi Limited,
71-75 Shelton Street,
Covent Garden, London,
WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom

General information on data processing

In the course of our business operations and in offering our website, we process data. This may require us to disclose data by transmission to third parties and, where applicable, to so-called third countries outside the UK and the EEA. The Personal Data that we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, and used in global data centres of Amazon (AWS). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the AWS data centres who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the fulfillment of our services, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting any Personal Data to us, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Data processing

The individual data concerned, processing purposes, legal bases, recipients and, where applicable, transfers to third countries are listed below:

  1. Hosting
    To deliver our website, we use a web hosting service, who process the data mentioned below and all other data that is processed in connection with the operation of our website on our behalf. Our website is hosted using the services of Amazon (AWS). The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest in providing our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.
  2. Contacting Us
    If you contact us, we process the following data from you for the purpose of processing and handling your enquiry: Name, contact details -if provided by you- and your message. The legal basis of the data processing is our obligation to fulfil the contract and/or to fulfil our pre-contractual obligations in accordance with Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR and/or our legitimate interest in processing your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
  3. Registration
    If you register, we will request personal and, where applicable, non-personal data in accordance with our registration form, which may include your username and email address. The entry of your data is encrypted so that third parties cannot read your data when it is entered.

    The basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communicating with interested users according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and, in the case of contracts, also the storage of contract data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

    Your data will remain stored for as long as the registration lasts, in particular the storage is still necessary for the fulfillment/execution of the contract, for legal prosecution by us or for our other legitimate interests or we are required by law to retain your data (e.g., within the framework of tax retention periods).
  4. Profile
    As a registered user, you have the opportunity to provide additional details and information on your user profile. If you make use of the additional information fields, the relevant profile data you provide will be transferred to your profile. Of course, you can change the information at any time via the settings in our website. When updating a profile, you can submit personal data. You have choices about the information on your profile. You don't have to provide additional information on your profile; however, profile information helps you to get more from our Services. It's your choice whether to include sensitive information on your profile and to make that sensitive information public. Please do not post or add personal data to your profile that you would not want to be available. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is the establishment and implementation of the user contract for the use of the service. We store the data until you delete your user account. Insofar as legal retention periods are to be observed, storage also takes place beyond the time of deletion of a user account.

    The basis for this storage is our legitimate interest in communicating with interested users according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, in the case of contracts, also the storage of contract data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
  5. Payment
    Payment by credit card and debit card is made via the payment service provider Stripe to which you pass on your payment details during checkout, for payment processing. Your data will only be passed on for the purpose of payment processing with Stripe and only insofar as it is necessary for this purpose. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
  6. Use of Cookies
    We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser. The legal basis for the use of cookies is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR as well as our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.

    Cookies have a lifetime. Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others (for example, those with login details) can remain on your computer for years if you do not delete them. You can delete cookies at any time. Click on one of the links below to go to your browser's user manual. After deleting cookies, you may need to log in again to some websites or specify your preferences.

    From a technical point of view, a distinction is made between two types of cookies:

    • Session cookies are not stored on your device and disappear when you close your browser.
    • Persistent cookies are stored as text files on your device. Persistent cookies allow our server to recognize your device the next time you visit our website.

    We think it's important that you have full control over your privacy online. That's why we refrain from the use of cookies that are non-essential. As set out in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we thus do not need to obtain your consent when you are visiting our website.

  7. Direct Marketing in the context of a Customer relationship
    We use the data you provide to fulfil and process our contract and to respond to your enquiries in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR or on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Insofar as you have also given us your separate consent to process your data for consulting, marketing and advertising purposes, Evil Kiwi Limited is entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to.

Duration of Data Storage

We only store personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed or for as long as any consent you have given us has been revoked by you. Insofar as statutory retention obligations must be observed, the storage period for certain data may be up to 6 years, irrespective of the processing purposes.

How we share information

As Teris is an online game, our goal is to help you connect with people. User information is, of course, mainly shared with other users with your consent. We also share some user information with service providers and partners who help us operate the Services, and in some cases with legal authorities.

  1. With other users
    You share information with other users when you voluntarily disclose information on the Service. Please be careful with your information.
  2. With our service providers and partners
    We use third parties to help us operate and improve our services. These third parties assist us with various tasks, including data hosting and maintenance, customer support, marketing, advertising, payment processing, and security measures. We follow a rigorous vetting process before engaging a service provider or working with a partner. All our service providers and partners should commit to strict confidentiality.
  3. For corporate transactions
    We may transfer your information if we are involved in whole or in part in a merger, sale, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, bankruptcy or other change of ownership or control.
  4. When required by law
    We may disclose your information if reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with a legal process, such as a court order, subpoena or search warrant, government/legal investigation or other legal requirement; (ii) to assist in the prevention or detection of crime (in each case, subject to applicable law); or (iii) to protect the safety of any person.
  5. To enforce legal rights
    We may also disclose information: (i) if disclosure would reduce our liability in actual or threatened litigation; (ii) if necessary to protect our legal rights and the legal rights of our users, business partners or other interested parties; (iii) to enforce our agreements with you; and (iv) to investigate, prevent, or take other Action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or other misconduct.
  6. With your consent or at your request
    We may ask for your consent to share your information with third parties. In any such case, we will make clear why we want to share the information.

Automated decision-making

Automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR does not take place on the part of Evil Kiwi Limited.

Your data subject rights

  1. Information
    Upon request, we will provide you at any time and free of charge with information about all personal data that we have stored about you.
  2. Correction, deletion, restriction of processing (blocking), objection
    If you no longer agree with the storage of your personal data or if this data has become incorrect, we will arrange for the deletion or blocking of your data or make the necessary corrections (insofar as this is possible according to the applicable law) on the basis of a corresponding instruction. The same applies if we are only to process data in a restrictive manner in the future. You have the right to object in particular in cases where your data is required for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in our legitimate interest, as well as profiling based on this. You also have such a right of objection in the event of data processing for the purpose of direct advertising.
  3. Right to revoke consent with effect for the future
    You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Your revocation will not affect the lawfulness of the processing up to the time of revocation.
  4. Data portability
    If data is processed on the basis of a contract, pre-contractual negotiations, consent or with the help of automated procedures, you have the right to data portability. Upon request, we will provide you with your data in a common, structured and machine-readable format so that you can transfer the data to another data controller if you wish.
  5. Exercise your data subject rights and right of appeal
    To assert these rights, please contact us using [email protected]. The same applies if you have questions about data processing in our company. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is the relevant authority in matters of data protection for Evil Kiwi Limited. You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the ICO (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO in the first instance.

Security

State-of-the-art internet technologies are used to ensure the security of your data. During the online enquiry process, your details are secured with SSL encryption. For secure storage of your data, the systems are protected by firewalls that prevent unauthorized access from outside. In addition, technical and organizational security measures are used to protect the personal data you have provided against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons.

Updating your Information

If you believe that the information we hold about you is inaccurate or that we are no longer entitled to use it and want to request its rectification, deletion, or object to its processing, please do so within your account or by contacting [email protected]. For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.

Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user. Also, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to the processing of personal information, notably where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.

Our website also contains - clearly recognizable - links to the websites of other companies. Insofar as there are links to websites of other providers, we have no influence on their contents. Therefore, no guarantee or liability can be assumed for these contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of these pages

The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations and recognizable infringements at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of a legal violation. Such links will be removed immediately if infringements of the law become known.

Personal information and children

Our services are aimed at people aged 18 and over. We will not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from minors under the age of 18 without first obtaining consent from a legal guardian.

Changes and updates to the Privacy Policy

We kindly ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our privacy policy. We will amend the privacy policy as soon as changes to the information processing activities we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an act of cooperation on your part (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

Concerns and Contact

If you have any concerns about a possible compromise of your privacy or misuse of your personal information on our part, or any other questions or comments, you can contact us using [email protected].
