III. WHEN INFORMATION IS SHARED

We limit when we share the information we collect to the following circumstances:

Within Nexon. We share information across the Nexon companies.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or any other terms set forth herein, some of our sharing includes sharing some of our players’ game data with our community of developers who create applications and websites that benefit our player community and help us provide and improve the Services. You may opt-out of having your game data included in this program by opting out of game-data sharing in the relevant account management preference section (if applicable), or by otherwise contacting us as described in this Privacy Policy .

For more information about these business partners, please contact us.

Other Users. Your profile information and activity data, including your username and the picture that you may provide, and information about your activities on or in connection with the Services may be visible to other users of the Services and third-party sites, applications, websites and services. For example, your game player data, including results, scores, platform activity and profile information may be viewed by other users of the Services and, for example, if you choose to link to social media sites like Facebook, viewed by users of such sites and other applications.

Legal Purposes. We may provide your information to third parties when we believe that doing so is required by law or to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities. We may disclose your information in order to protect the rights or property of Nexon, including enforcing our Terms of Service and End User License Agreement, and others, or when we believe that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the health or safety of you, another person, or the public.

Corporate Transaction. If Nexon is involved in a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, we may transfer your information to the successor organization in such transaction in accordance with applicable law.

With Your Consent. We may share information for any other purposes disclosed to you at the time we collect the information or pursuant to your consent.

If you access our Services through third-party devices or platforms, these third parties may be able to collect and process information about you, including information about your activity on the Services, and they may notify your connections on the third-party services, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

 

IV. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

When you use the Services or interact with emails from us, we and our third-party business partners may collect and store information about your use of our Services using cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and similar technologies (collectively, “cookies”).

Cookies are small files that are automatically generated when you visit a website and are stored on your device. Pixel tags are very small images or small pieces of data embedded in images, also known as “web beacons” or “clear GIFs,” that can recognize cookies, the time and date a page is viewed, a description of the page where the pixel tag is placed, and similar information from your device. Local storage is similar to a cookie except that it can store larger amounts of information and can be stored elsewhere on your device.

We allow third parties, including our analytics providers, advertising networks, and other advertising service providers, to collect information about your use of the Services across your applications and your different devices using cookies and similar technologies. These third parties may use this information to display advertisements on our Services and elsewhere online across different sites and services tailored to your interests, preferences, and characteristics. You can control the use and disclosure of the information for such purposes through Section V. (Your Choices).

TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU CONSENT TO THE USE OF NON-ESSENTIAL COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS AS IDENTIFIED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO LATER REFUSE OUR USE.  For certain jurisdictions, we will seek your consent the first time you access the Services. For information on how to refuse cookies, withdraw your consent or disable cookies through your web browser, please see Section V. (Your Choices).

 

V. YOUR CHOICES

Nexon provides you with a variety of choices to control the use and sharing of your information, including:

Email Communications. You may opt out of receiving commercial email messages from us by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in our emails. Please note that even if you have opted out of receiving commercial email messages, you may continue to receive messages related to your account, your transactions, and similar service-related messages.

Geolocation Information. We may derive your approximate location from your IP address and other information we may collect for the purpose of determining your logical login history patterns, control your access to the Services, and to help us answer data protection requests. For more information, please review your device settings.

Cookies and Similar Technologies. You may be able to refuse or disable cookies by adjusting your web browser settings or changing the settings in your cookie banner. Because each web browser is different, please consult the instructions provided by your web browser (typically in the “help” section). Please note that you may need to take additional steps to refuse or disable local storage and similar technologies. For example, Adobe Local Shared Objects can be controlled through the instructions on Adobe’s Setting Manager page. Deleting the cookies in your browser may in some cases cancel your choices for interest-based advertising. If you choose to refuse, disable, or delete cookies and similar technologies, some of the functionality of the Services may no longer be available to you.

Do Not Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms. Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Nexon currently does not take action in response to these signals.

Interest-Based Advertising. While it is not possible to turn off all advertising, you do have the ability to control whether you receive interest-based ads based on information collected or received about your online activities and interests over time and across unaffiliated sites and services and your different devices. You can opt out of receiving interest-based ads from companies that participate in self-regulatory programs such as the Network Advertising Initiative (US) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (US), EDAA (EU), and DAAC (Canada) by following the instructions provided on their websites. If you are using a mobile app, you also may need to opt out of interest-based advertising on your mobile device or through the mobile application. For more information, check your device and mobile app settings. Please note that your opt-out choice will apply only to the browser and device you are using when you opt out.

Other Game and Device Permissions. You may be able to adjust your privacy settings for push notifications, address book sharing, and other information or features within the Services or your account management, device permissions or similar preference options. Please review the settings for the Services and your device for more information. To stop the collection of information by a Nexon game, you can uninstall the game using the standard uninstall process available on your device or the app marketplace or network from which you installed the game.

 

VI. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS AND WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

The laws in your country may provide you rights to request access to, correct, restrict, port, copy, or delete your information, request that we delete your account, or withdraw or change the scope of your consent. You may also have the right to request that we stop processing your information.

If you withdraw your consent, we will stop processing your information for such purposes, but it will not affect the processing of information previously covered by your consent. Where technologically feasible and required by applicable law, we will port your information pursuant to your reasonable request. A request to withdraw consent, restrict or stop processing your information, or delete your account or information may result in your inability to access the Services or some of its features. To exercise your rights consistent with applicable law, please contact us at the contact details provided in Section XI. (Contact Us).

 

VII. MINORS 

Before you are able to use our Services, we may ask you to provide age-related information to help us comply with applicable laws.

Where permitted by law, we collect information from minors (as defined under applicable law) when they provide it to us and when they use the Services. For example, when a minor registers, contacts us directly, or otherwise uses the Services, they may choose to provide information to us, such as their contact information (name, phone number, mailing and email address), user account information (such as username, nickname, password, profile picture, and language settings), demographic information (such as age, gender, and country), and any correspondence they send to us. We also collect information when a minor uses our Services, including their Internet protocol (“IP”) address and other identifiers; information about their browser, device, or Internet or mobile service provider; and information about their use of the Services (such as the date and time of their visit, download information, the links they click and areas they view within the Services, game metrics and usage data, and other standard server log information). We collect additional information when the Services crash or otherwise encounter a problem, including system and driver data.

We collect, use, and disclose a minor’s information to:

Nexon’s legal bases to process information for these purposes include:

We limit when we share the information we collect from minors, under the following circumstances:

Business Partners. We share information with third-party partners and service providers, including platform services, game developers, application developers, game publishers, game console providers, customer support services, and cloud storage and hosting providers, to help us provide and improve the Services and operate our business. For more information about these business partners, please contact us.

Within Nexon. We may share a minor’s information among Nexon companies for legal purposes, in connection with a corporate transaction, or with consent of the minor or a parent (subject to applicable law).  If a minor accesses our Services through third-party devices or platforms, these third parties may be able to collect and process information about the minor, including information about their activity on the Services, and they may notify the minor’s connections on the third-party services, in accordance with their own privacy policies.

A minor’s profile, including their username and the picture that they may provide, and information about their activities on the Services may be visible to other users of the Services. For example, their game results, scores, and profile information may be viewed by other users of the Services.

For users in the United States, we do not knowingly collect or sell personal information from minors who are under the age of 13 without parental consent or unless permitted by applicable law.  In such circumstances, parents have the right to review or delete personal information we collect from their minor children under the age of 13 and to withdraw parental consent that they have provided.  To exercise these rights, contact us by emailing NA_privacy@nexon.com.  We may request additional personal information to verify your identity as the parent of your child before responding to your request.

For users in the rest of the world (including European Union, European Economic Area and United Kingdom): Where required under applicable law, parents or guardians may exercise the rights that their child may have in relation to their personal information (see Section V. (Your Choices)). For example, subject to applicable law, parents may have the right to review their child’s personal information, direct us to delete such child’s personal information, and may refuse to allow any further collection or use of such child’s personal information (in all cases, subject to the requirements and restrictions set out in applicable law). Please keep in mind that a request to delete records may lead to a termination of Services. In some jurisdictions, minors may also exercise their data protection rights directly.

 

VIII. HOW WE SECURE AND HOW LONG WE STORE INFORMATION

We maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, organizational, and procedural safeguards to protect your information. While we take reasonable precautions against possible loss, misuse, or unauthorized access, no storage system or transmission of data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. Data we collect will be retained only for so long as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out above, unless applicable law requires otherwise. Please note that information collected by third parties may not have the same security protections as information you submit to us, and we are not responsible for protecting the security of such information, unless we are considered a responsible controller in relation to the processing of such information.

 

IX. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Information we collect may be transferred to countries outside your home country such as Korea, Japan, and the United States for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. You understand that some of these countries, including the United States, may not provide the same level of data privacy protection as in the European Union/European Economic Area or your home country. We will transfer your personal information where necessary to provide the Services and perform the contract you entered into with us.  If we need to transfer your personal data to another country that may not provide the same level of privacy protection as in your home country, we will apply necessary safeguards and security measures regarding transfers, as required by applicable law.  Where applicable data protection law provides for the use of EU-approved Standard Contractual Clauses or other transfer agreements to lawfully transfer data abroad, we generally rely on such clauses for our transfers unless other transfer grounds are more appropriate. Depending on applicable law, you may ask for a copy or information about these transfer mechanisms by contacting us at the contact details below.

 

X. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may make changes to this Privacy Policy, in which case we will notify you before such changes take effect by posting the updated policy through the Services or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will take effect after a reasonable time period as specified in the notice of such changes.

California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosures


These California Consumer Privacy Act Disclosures (“Disclosure”) supplement the Nexon Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), and contains the disclosures required under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA"). All capitalized terms not defined in this California Privacy Notice have the same meanings as given them in the Privacy Policy.


For individuals who are California residents, the CCPA requires certain disclosures about the categories of personal information we collect and how we use it, the categories of sources from whom we collect personal information, and the third parties with whom we share it. Please note that for California residents and for purposes of this Disclosure, the term "personal information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household as defined in the CCPA.


1. Categories of Personal Information Collected or Disclosed for a Business Purpose. In the 12 months preceding the date of this Disclosure, we may have collected and/or disclosed for a business purpose the following categories of personal information as enumerated under the CCPA:

·      Identifiers, including name, postal address, email address, and online identifiers (such as IP address);

·      User records, including phone number, billing address, and credit or debit card information;

·      Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law;

·      Commercial or transactions information, including records of products or services purchased, obtained, or considered;

·      Internet activity, including browsing history, search history, and interactions with a website, email, application, or advertisement;

·      Geolocation data;

·      Professional or education information;

·      Inferences drawn from the above information about your predicted characteristics and preferences. 


2. Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Information. If you are a California resident, you have the right under the CCPA to request Nexon to:

·      Delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions ("Request to Delete");

·      Correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you ("Request to Correct");

·      Not provide discriminatory treatment for the exercise of privacy rights conferred by the CCPA, including an employee’s, applicant’s, or independent contractor’s right to not be retaliated against for the exercise of their CCPA rights.


We do not offer a right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information because, within the meaning of the CCPA, we do not use sensitive personal information for inferring characteristics.

We do not offer a right to opt-out of the sale of personal information because, within the meaning of the CCPA, we do not sell personal information.  We disclose personal information for the business purposes set forth in the Privacy Policy (please refer to Section II (HOW WE USE INFORMATION) and Section III (WHEN INFORMATION IS SHARED)).

Please note, that you can only make two Requests to Know in a 12-month period.


3. How to Exercise Your Rights. To exercise any of these rights, please email us at na_privacy@nexon.com.

In the request, please specify (a) which right you wish to exercise and (b) the scope of your request. We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days.

In order to submit a request, we will need to verify your identity and may require specific information from you, which may include personal information about you or information about your past purchases or use of our products or services, in order to help us verify your identity and process your request. Your request may be denied if we are unable to verify your identity. If you have an account with us through the Site that is password-protected, we may verify your identity through our existing authentication practices for your account.

If you do not have an account with us, and your request concerns "categories" of personal information collected, we can request from you two data points of personal information to verify your identity. If you do not have an account with us, and your request concerns specific personal information or sensitive personal information, we can request from you at least three data points of personal information as well as a signed declaration with penalty of perjury to verify your identity.

We will process and respond to your Request to Know, Request to Delete or Request to Correct within 45 calendar days after it is received (in some cases, as is allowed under the CCPA, this process may be extended by an additional 45 calendar days).

You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable law, to submit a request through an authorized agent.  To designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights and choices on your behalf, please provide written proof of your agent’s permission to do so.
