The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect may include the following:

Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates, in which case we will require said affiliates to honor this privacy notice. Affiliates include our parent company and any subsidiaries, joint venture partners, or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us.

HOW WE HANDLE THIRD PARTY LOGIN DATA

Our services offer you the ability to register and login using third party services' (like Discord, Microsoft, Steam, or Twitch logins), OAuth2 authentication systems. When you choose to do this, we will receive certain information about you given to us by that provider. The information we receive will depend on the OAuth2 provider concerned, but will often include your username, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as any other information you decide to make publicly available with said provider.

We will utilize the information we receive from OAuth2 providers only for the purposes described in this privacy notice or that are otherwise made clear to you on relevant services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your third-party OAuth2 provider. We strongly recommend you also review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences with them through their sites and applications.

HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR INFORMATION

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes described in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time which you have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or if this is not possible (for example, because your information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any other processing until deletion is possible.

BROWSER CONTROLS AND DO NOT TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference to not have data about your activities collected. At this stage no standard for recognizing these requests and implementing modified practices has been finalized. As such we currently choose not to respond to DNT browser signals or any other automated mechanism that communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for DNT signals is adopted that we are required to follow in the future, we will inform you about our response in a future privacy notice.
