All personal information that you provide to me must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify me of any changes to such personal information.

 
2. HOW DO I PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
 
I process your personal information for a variety of reasons, including:
  • To facilitate account creation and authentication and otherwise manage user accounts. I process your information so you can create and log in to your account, as well as keep your account in working order.
  • To allow you to play games on the site. Your information is used to track the games you play and collect historical data of previous game results.
  • Verification of BPA registration. Your name and email address is used to verify BPA membership to determine your eligibility to participate in BPA sponsored tournaments.
 

3. WHAT LEGAL BASES DO I RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
 
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
 
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require me to explain the valid legal bases I rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, I may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
  • Consent. I may process your information if you have given me permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about  withdrawing your consent.
  • Performance of a Contract. I may process your personal information when I believe it is necessary to fulfill my obligations to you, including providing access to my website.
  • Legal Obligations. I may process your information where I believe it is necessary for compliance with my legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend my legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which I am involved.
  • Vital Interests. I may process your information where I believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
 
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.
 
I may process your information if you have given me specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can  withdraw your consent at any time.
 
In some exceptional cases, I may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:
  • If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way
  • For investigations and fraud detection and prevention
  • For business transactions provided certain conditions are met
  • If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim
  • For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin
  • If I have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse
  • If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province
  • If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records
  • If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced
  • If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes
  • If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations
 

4. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO I SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
 
I need to share your name and email address with the BPA to verify your membership status and to report tournament results.


5. DO I USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
 
I use cookies as necessary to manage persistent connection and session information. I do not use any advertising or tracking cookies on the site.


6. HOW LONG DO I KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
 
I will keep your information indefinitely for the purpose of making historical results available to members. If you request to have your information deleted, it will be deleted within three (3) months upon receiving the request. To maintain the integrity of the records, your name (and nickname) will be anonymized and your email address will removed.


7. HOW DO I KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
 
I have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and procedural security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information I process. However, despite my safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so I cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat my security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although I will do my best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from the site is at your own risk. You should only access the site within a secure environment.
 

8. DO I COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
 
I do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the site, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the site. If I learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, I will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data I may have collected from children under age 18, please contact me at mpge@kww.us.

These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by contacting me by using the contact details provided in the section "HOW CAN YOU CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS NOTICE?" below.
 
I will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner
 
Withdrawing your consent: If I am relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting me by using the contact details provided in the section " HOW CAN YOU CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS NOTICE? below.
 
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
 
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, I do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that I must follow in the future, I will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
 

11. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
 
California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits my users who are California residents to request and obtain from me, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) I disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which I shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to me using the contact information provided below.
