and may do so by removing personal data, if the Service permits such removal, by ceasing your access to SkyBox and contacting us using the contact information found below.

7. DATA STORAGE, RETENTION AND TRANSFERS

While SkyBox is a Canadian company, the data you provide through the Service may be stored and processed by third parties in countries around the world.  You authorize SkyBox 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.

SkyBox complies with international personal data transfer laws in applicable jurisdictions.  For residents in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), SkyBox 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.

Your personal data is retained until you request its deletion or until SkyBox no longer requires such data for the purpose for which it was collected or until required to be deleted by laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

8. CHILDREN

SkyBox complies with the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and all other applicable privacy laws and regulations concerning children and the Internet including laws applicable to residents of the EEA.  The Service and the Games are not directed to children under the age of 13 and although it may be possible that children below the age of 13 to access certain features of the Service such as the Games, we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 without first obtaining the appropriate parental consent required by law.  If we learn that we inadvertently collected personal data from a child under the age of 13, in a jurisdiction where consent of a parent or guardian is required to be collected prior to the collection of such personal data, without first obtaining such appropriate parental consent, we will delete that data as quickly as possible.  If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 or under the age of consent in your jurisdiction, who you believe provided SkyBox with personal data without your consent, please contact us at info@skyboxlabs.com

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 “SHINE THE LIGHT” RIGHT

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.
