Privacy Policy

GameRefinery Oy (”GameRefinery” or “We”) respects your privacy and is dedicated to protecting the privacy of those persons using (“User(s)” or “You”) GameRefinery Online Service and/or Reflection Service (“Service”). This Privacy Policy helps You understand what personally identifiable information and non-personal information We collect, and how We use it.

This Privacy Policy applies to Your use of the Service and You should read this document before using the Service. If You do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, You may not use the Service.

Information related to use of cookies can be found in our Cookie Policy.

“Personal information” refers to information, which allows a User to be specifically identified as an individual person. We will also collect “non-personal information” meaning information that cannot be used to specifically identify anyone. Non-personal information may also result from removing the personally identifiable parts from personal information. We will collect and use both types of information and combinations of both types.

GameRefinery shall not be responsible for the actions of third parties (including people, companies or services), the content of third-party websites, the usage of the information provided by a User to such third parties, or any products or services they may offer.

Processing Personal Information

GameRefinery will only collect such personal information that is relevant for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

GameRefinery will process personal information for the purposes of creating Service accounts, using, maintaining, customizing and developing the Service, contacting Users, user verification, providing services, sending customer and marketing information to Users, enabling communication in the Service, conducting research, creating reports and allowing game developers to communicate with GameRefinery and to receive feedback on their games.

We will also use collected information to create a user profile link or combine it with other information we get from third parties, to help in providing the Services to You. Personal information will also be used to provide customer service and other services at your request, to send You information, including confirmations, invoices, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support messages, as well as communicate with You about other products and services offered by GameRefinery.

GameRefinery commits to adhere to applicable laws and regulations pertaining to processing of personal information, as well as to process personal information in compliance with good processing practices. All personnel processing personal information are obliged to keep such information strictly confidential.

GameRefinery does not use automatic decision-making. However, we use profiling to provide you with individualized offers regarding the Service.

Legal basis for the processing

The legal basis for the processing of Your personal information is, where not stated otherwise or another legal basis is otherwise applicable, the performance of the contract for providing GameRefinery’s Service to You, as permitted by GDPR article 6(1)(b).

GameRefinery can also process Your personal information where we have a legitimate interest to do so, as permitted by GDPR article 6(1)(f), such as for marketing purposes.

Where the processing is such that Your consent is required by the applicable legislation, We will state so and obtain Your consent, and this will be the legal basis for the processing of Your personal information, as permitted by GDPR article 6(1)(a). However, You have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If such withdrawal means that We are no longer able to provide the Service to You, we may cease providing the Service.

In some cases, We may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from You or may otherwise need the personal information to protect Your vital interests or those of another person.
