We have created this Privacy Policy ("Policy") to explain the types of information ("Personal Data") we collect through this site, all other sites run by us, and the various social networking platforms that we use (each, a "Site"), how we will use, disclose and protect this Personal Data once it is collected, how you can opt-out of some of our uses and disclosures of your Personal Data and how you can exercise your rights.

We will endeavour to keep Personal Data we store about the Data Subject reasonably accurate and up to date by enabling Data Subjects to correct it by themselves or contact us to request a correction, or any other action to their personal data that they have the legal right to take (see below for additional detail on these rights). In such Services that we provide where you have created an account, you may yourself at any time update or remove your data. In situations where you would like to contact us, you may do so by contacting us using the details set out below.

What is the purpose of collecting Personal Data?

We will use the Personal Data held about the Data Subject for the following purposes:

  • To fulfil a contract, or take steps linked to a contract: this is relevant where you make a purchase from us or sign up to our Services. This includes:
    • verifying your identify and taking payments from you if you purchase anything on our Services; and
    • communicating with you, including providing customer services in relation to any purchases.
  • As required by WoW to conduct our business and pursue our legitimate interests, in particular:
    • enabling you to use our Site, Services and all its applicable features;
    • developing new features, offerings and personalising our Site and Services for you;
    • administering our Services and any account you may create with us;
    • responding to your requests, questions and concerns;
    • undertaking market research to promote a better understanding of our audience; and
    • protecting our rights and property including intellectual property.
  • Where you give us consent:
    • we will send you direct marketing in relation to our Services;
    • we place cookies and use similar technologies; and
    • on other occasions where we ask you for consent, we will use the data for the purpose which we explain at that time.
  • For purposes which are required by law
    • where we are required to hold or collect Personal Data to meet legal requirements on us;
    • where we need parental consent to provide Services to children under 13. [We note that most of our Services are not designed for children under 13]; and
    • where in response to requests by government or law enforcement authorities conducting an investigation.

We will only process Personal Data under the lawful bases set out above.

There are instances where we have a legitimate interest to use your Data. Our legitimate interest will vary depending on what we are using your Personal Data for. Where we process Personal Data on the basis of a legitimate interest, then - as required by data protection law - we have carried out a balancing test to document our interests, to consider what the impact of the processing will be on individuals and to determine whether individuals' interests outweigh our interests in the processing taking place.

We do not anticipate that WoW will make any decisions with respect to Data Subjects' Personal Data using fully automated means. We will notify you in writing if this position changes.

Personal Data Retention

We will endeavor not to keep Personal Data in a form that allows a Data Subject to be identified, unless this is the purpose of providing the data for example to create an account and associated profile in a Service provided by us, for any longer than is reasonably necessary for achieving the permitted purposes or until you ask us to stop processing your Personal Data. At the end of the applicable retention period, we may destroy, erase from our systems, or anonymize Personal Data as part of such efforts. To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Storage & Transfer of Personal Data

Information will be shared with third party service providers, who will process it on our behalf for certain of the purposes identified above. In particular, we use such third parties for data hosting, connecting your wallet to our Services, debugging, error reporting and usage analytics.

If we are sold or integrated with another business, certain of your details may be disclosed to our advisers and any prospective purchaser's adviser and will be passed to the new owners of the business.

We may share information with professional advisors such as insurers, lawyers and other professional advisors for insurance claims, audits and/or the receipt of advisory services. These entities' privacy notices will provide more detail on this processing.

We may also be required to share Personal Data with governments competent authorities, police, courts, public entities, and other regulatory authorities (including similar regulatory authorities outside the EU, EEA member countries, or the UK).

Personal Data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the UK/EEA, in particular, to the US. Where these locations do not provide an adequate level of data protection, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the transfer of your Personal Data to these third countries. These may include the use of standard contractual clauses as approved under applicable law or applicable Processor Binding Corporate Rules.

Third parties we may share Personal Data with

  • If you sign up to receive direct marketing communications from us, we will share your Personal Data with a third party service provider to send our direct marketing related communications using the means of communication you have consented to. We mostly send out our direct marketing communication using email through the third party service provider Mailchimp. With Mailchimp we mainly share Personal Data such as Personal Data such as email address, and may include first and last name.
  • For our events, such as the WoW Gala we collaborate with Tokenproof to offer enhanced services, such as ticketing solutions. When you interact with these services, you may need to agree to their terms and conditions and privacy policies. Moreover, as part of this collaboration, we may collect additional information from you as required by this service provider. This could include unique identifiers, social media information, or other data necessary to fulfil the service requirements. In some cases, the service provider may facilitate transactions, which involves collecting payment information through third-party payment processors.
