      1. 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:

      • By law, you can ask us what information we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate. If we have asked for your consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
      • If we are processing your personal data for reasons of consent or to fulfill a contract, you can ask us to give you a copy of the information in a machine-readable format so that you can transfer it to another provider.
      • If we are processing your personal data for reasons of consent or legitimate interest, you can request that your data be erased.
      • You have the right to ask us to stop using your information for a period of time.
      • Finally, in some circumstances, you can ask us not to reach decisions affecting you using automated processing or profiling.

      If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email us at app@bloodontheclocktower.com. 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.

      • Detect security incidents and protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity
      • Need to identify and repair errors affecting Service functionality

      We also won’t discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights listed above.

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

      1. 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 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.

      1. 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 app@bloodontheclocktower.com 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.
