• When you consent to it (for example, when subscribing to our newsletter or opening a Visionaries Account); or
• When it is in our legitimate interest (for example, to enforce our policies, manage our everyday business, perform statistical analysis on anonymized and/or aggregated data, for direct marketing purposes, to ensure information security, prevent fraud or transfer the data to a different part of the organisation when necessary).

To be able to provide you with the Services and the best possible experience, we share your data with other companies and organisations.

• Payment providers (for example, PayPal)
• Companies and external consultants that help support our platform and services

To prevent fraud and verify the game’s installation, we may share your IDFA (iOS) and/or Advertiser ID (Android) with the relevant advertiser. For Services using the Unity Engine, Unity is our service provider. Unity may collect certain data in relation to your use of such Services. You can find their privacy policy on their websites under https://unity3d.com/legal/privacy-policy. We may release your data when we are required to by court order, according to law or in case of a bankruptcy or other similar unfortunate event. We may also share and acquire your data with future subsidiaries or companies if we choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business. However, we only transfer the data if we must and if these companies comply with applicable privacy regulations and can guarantee that your data is kept safe.

If you are a child user, you are entitled to additional protections for your information and privacy online. When registering an account with Visionaries, we make sure your account is set to a restrictive mode, which means that you won’t have access to certain features, such as social media links, if you are not 13 or over and your text filtering will be restricted. These additional measures are in place to keep you as safe as possible online.

If your parent or guardian’s email address is provided to us when you create an account on Visionaries, we may share information about your account with them by email. We can also invite your parent or guardian to review or update settings and approve your account.

If you are a parent and need to make changes to your child’s account, you can contact us at [email protected]

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to help guard your data in compliance with applicable privacy regulations. If transactions are offered on the Services, transaction information is transmitted to and from the Service in encrypted form using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS used to be known as SSL) connections to help protect such information from interception. We strictly restrict authorized access to your data only to those persons who have a legitimate purpose for accessing it. We also have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the data we process. We encourage you to be careful when sharing your data with other users when you use our Services like forums or chats. Visionaries NEVER ask for your password to be sent separately or in clear text. Anyone doing so is probably trying to steal your stuff.

We may need to collect data to be able to fulfil our legal obligations or fulfil the terms of a contract we have with you or to be able to even present you with the Services. If you choose not to give us this data, it may prevent us from meeting our obligations. It may also mean that we cannot perform the Services needed to run your Visionaries Accounts or policies. It may also mean that we have to cancel a product or service you have with us or that you even be unable to play certain parts of our game such as multiplayer. Any optional data collection should be clearly indicated as such at the point of collection.

When you use our Services, we strive to provide you with ways to quickly update or delete data that you have actively provided. You have the right to access the data relating to you. This includes the right to be informed whether or not data about you is being processed, what data about you is being processed, and the purpose of the processing. Upon your request, you also have a right to access information about any evaluation or assessment of the balancing test we are required to conduct when we process your data based on our legitimate interest. Furthermore, you have the right to rectify or add data if the personal information is inaccurate or incomplete. As soon as we become aware of any inaccurate personal information being processed, we always rectify your data without undue delay and notify you accordingly. If you have created a Visionaries Account, you can access, change and delete some of the data provided on your profile by logging in to your Visionaries Account at https://visionaries.me.

You are entitled to request that we erase data related to you. We erase your data upon request provided that it is no longer necessary for the purpose we collected it for (for example you cannot require all personal information about you to be erased and still receive Services from us) and that we have no legal obligation to store personal information.

You are entitled to require us to restrict our processing of your personal information if you contest the accuracy of the data if the processing is unlawful, but you do still not want us to erase the data, if the data is no longer needed to fulfil the purpose it was collected for or if you have informed us that you do not consider us to have a legitimate interest for certain processing.

You can access a copy of your data by logging into your Visionaries Account https://visionaries.me or by contacting our Support department at any time at [email protected]. If you request access to personal information about you that you yourself have provided and (i) if the personal information is being processed automatically and (ii) in accordance with a contract between you and Visionaries or based on your consent, you may request that the data is provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you may also request that the personal information is transmitted to another controller if this is technically feasible.

You can contact our Support team at [email protected] any time to get a list of all the data we have collected from you or to get such data deleted or invoke your other rights as explained above. We do our best to answer your request promptly but please note that it may take a couple of days. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please note that if we cannot identify and guarantee who you are, we might ask you to provide us with additional information or log into your Visionaries Account if possible. Please note that we cannot delete any data if we are unable to verify that you are their rightful owner. We however always use our best effort to help you out.
