Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right to disclose information that we collect to law enforcement or other government officials, as we, in our sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary or appropriate, to protect our Services, to comply with legal obligations or carry out tasks in the public interest.

5. SECURITY

We use reasonable electronic, personnel, and physical measures to protect information from loss, theft, alteration, or misuse. However, please be advised that even the best security measures cannot fully eliminate all risks with respect to personal information submitted online. We cannot guarantee that only authorized persons will view your information transferred over the Internet. We are not responsible for third party circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.

6. STORAGE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will store your personal information in a form which permits your identification for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which such personal information is processed. We will destroy or permanently anonymize your personal information without delay when it is no longer required for the purpose for which such personal information is processed.

Please note, however, that we may retain and use your personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements and rights, or if it is not technically and/or reasonably feasible to remove it.

Consistent with these requirements, and to the extent required or permitted (as the case may be) by applicable law, we will try to delete your personal information quickly upon request.

9. TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The information collected by 1299 Studios is hosted in the United States of America and is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing our Services from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you are transferring your personal information to us in the U.S. where data protection and privacy laws may be less stringent than the laws of your country. 

Where required by applicable laws, we will take appropriate measures to ensure adequate protection of your personal information when transferred internationally and, if necessary, seek your prior consent. Such measures may include use of data transfer agreements or official transfer mechanisms such as data authority approved contractual clauses. For instance, if you are located in the EEA, we may store your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy outside the EEA. Where we transfer EEA personal information to a third party located in a country outside of the EEA not recognized by the European Commission, or another relevant body, as ensuring an adequate level of protection, 1299 Studios takes a variety of steps, including implementing the required data transfer tools such as standard contract clauses approved by the European Commission or by choosing recipients that have Binding Corporate Rules (“BCRs”) in place, to help ensure your rights and protections travel with your personal information.

If you have any inquiries about our handling of your personal information or would like to obtain a copy of the respective data transfer tool, please contact us at support@1299studios.com and mention ‘Privacy’ as the title of your email.
