4. Third-party Services

The Privacy Policy only applies to personal data that Journey Bound collects, processes and discloses and does not apply to the collection, processing and disclosure of data by third parties, through third-party services, which may be broader than set forth in this Privacy Policy, and that may be embedded into the Game. In many cases, third-parties may collect personal information about a user’s online activities over time and across different websites and services. In particular, certain details about the use of the Game such as achievement progress may be collected by third parties according to the terms of each such third-party’s privacy policy. We strongly recommend that you read each third-party privacy policy carefully before using the Service. Journey Bound may provide data to third-parties, including: Google, Microsoft, Steam, Unity, Sony and Nintendo. A list of third-party services is available on our Third Party Services page. Please contact us directly using the information found below if you would like to learn more about third-party data practices.

In addition, you may contact Journey Bound to correct inaccurate personal data or to complete incomplete personal data. You may be able to opt-out of some or all of the ways in which your personal data is processed, or request the deletion of certain personal data, except where the personal data is necessary or vital:

• for the performance of Journey Bound’s contractual obligations;
• to comply with our legal obligations;
• to protect your interests or those of another person; and
• for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third-party,

and may do so by removing personal data, if the Game permits such removal, by deleting your Account or by contacting us using the contact information found below.

7. Data Storage, Retention and Transfers

While Journey Bound is a Canadian company, the data you provide through the Game may be stored and processed by third parties in countries around the world. You authorize Journey Bound and third parties acting on our behalf to process your data in any country of their choosing, which may cause your data, including personal and anonymous data, to be subject to privacy protections and legal rights that may not be equivalent to those in your country. Journey Bound complies with international personal data transfer laws in applicable jurisdictions. For residents in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), Journey Bound complies with Articles 44-49 of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”). Currently, all transfers of personal data to Canada from residents of the EEA are covered by an adequacy decision as described in Article 45 of the GDPR. Although we do store some personal data, such as when we are responding to your communications with us your personal data is only retained until the earliest of:

• your request for its deletion;
• until Journey Bound no longer requires such data for the purpose for which it was collected, such as when we complete our support communications with you; or
• until required to be deleted by laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

8. Children

The Game is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.

Journey Bound Games Inc. does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 without any consent required by applicable law.

Certain features of the Game may be provided through third-party platforms, including Steam, Google Play, and Apple, which may have their own age restrictions, parental consent requirements, and privacy practices.

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without the consent required by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete that information.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us at contact@journeyboundgames.com .

Where applicable, we will comply with additional requirements concerning the personal information of minors, including those established under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant privacy laws.

9. Do Not Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web or device setting that allows users to request that receivers of personal data stop their tracking activities. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser or device or use alternative consumer choice mechanisms, your browser or device sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, advertising networks, plug in providers and other web services you encounter to stop tracking your activity. Currently, there are no DNT technology standards and it is possible that there may never be any DNT technology standards. As a result, we do not respond to DNT requests.

10. California Users and “Shine The Light” Right

Journey Bound does not sell any of your personal data to third parties. If you are a California resident, California Civil Code 1798.83 grants you the right to request our disclosure of the categories of personal information we provided to third parties, and the names and addresses of these third parties, for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make this request, please contact us using the contact information set forth below. Please note that you may only make this request once per year.

11. European Users and Rights of European Economic Area Residents

Journey Bound has a legitimate interest, as described in Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, in collecting your Email Address and ID Data for use as described in section 2 of this Privacy Policy for the purposes described in detail in section 3 of this Privacy Policy. In some cases, the processing of your personal data is also necessary for our provision of the Service to you, such as when we collect your ID Data from third-parties, as described in Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and such necessary processing supersedes any legitimate interest processing. In other cases, such as when you provide consent to contact you using your Email Address, Journey Bound may contact you pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR which supersedes any legitimate interest processing. If you are a resident of the EEA, you have certain rights in relation to your personal data subject to the GDPR. These rights include a right of/to:

• access; rectification; erasure; object; file a complaint; restriction of processing; portability; post-mortem control; and opt-out of marketing communications.

12. Change of Ownership or Business Transition

In the event of, or in preparation for, a change of ownership or control of Journey Bound or a business transition such as the sale of Journey Bound or the sale of some or all Journey Bound’s assets, we may disclose and/or transfer your personal and anonymous data to third-parties who will have the right to continue to collect and use such data in the manner set forth in this Privacy Policy.

13. Security

We are committed to ensuring that your data is secure. To prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or breach, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the data we collect and process.

14. Contact Preferences

We communicate with our users primarily through the Service itself and our online forums such as Discord or Reddit, but we may sometimes collect the Email Address of some of our users in order to respond to support requests or comments. If you have provided us with your Email Address and would like to change the email preferences we associate with you (for example, unsubscribing from receiving certain types of email) you may do so by clicking a link within certain types of emails that we send to you or, if no link is available, by replying with “unsubscribe” in the email title or body or by modifying your email settings within the Service. On rare occasions, some types of email are necessary for the Service and cannot be unsubscribed from if you continue to use the Service.

15. Updates

Journey Bound reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Privacy Policy at any time (“Updates”) and shall make Updates available on Journey Bound’s website. You are deemed to accept Updates by continuing to use the Service. Unless Journey Bound states otherwise, Updates are automatically effective 30 days after posting on Journey Bound website.
