Where and how long do we retain your information for?
Your information is mainly stored in electronic form in computer servers situated in Cyprus and abroad.
We only keep information for as long as it is necessary for us to service your user account and as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations to which we are subject or until your account is deleted – whichever comes first.
Deletion of Personal Data
By opening your game profile you have the option to delete your Account/Profile by yourself. When you delete your account, we delete all your personal information and data including any photos and emails. You will not be able to recover that information later. In case that for any reason you cannot delete your profile yourself, you can send us an email to info@spectrum.games and we will delete it for you.
Who has access to your information?
We will never sell or transmit your information to third parties and we will not share it with third parties for marketing purposes.
We may pass your information to third party service providers. Such third parties may be technical service providers providing us with the software systems (or their maintenance) necessary to contact administrative tasks inherent in the provision of our services to you or in the conducting of our business or messengers and/or delivery companies we use to deliver correspondence. We only disclose to them the personal information that is absolutely necessary to deliver the service or perform the said task and when required by the Regulation, we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and in accordance with the principles and rules of the General Data Protection Regulation and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes or for any purposes other than to provide the service or complete the task as explained above.
Your information submitted or recorded by our Facebook Page is also passed to Facebook, which provides us with the service enabling us to make available and administer a Facebook Page. The said provider is a data controller in its own right and bound by all of the obligations of the GDPR. You can view its own privacy policy here https: //www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.
We may also pass your information to our lawyers and accountants/auditors to the extent necessary to defend or institute legal claims and to comply with legal obligations with regards to financial accounts and tax reasons respectively.
When effect payments on our website, your payment is processed by a third party payment service provider, who specializes in the secure online processing of payment transactions, depending on your choice of the method of payment. As this processing is not performed by us and we do not retain the relevant data, your rights, explained in the next section of this Policy, to the extent referring to payment card details or transactions should be exercised directly with the said payment service provider. In case, you address a relevant request to us, we will take reasonable measures to meet the request to the extent possible. The said providers are, we believe, data controllers in their own right bound by all of the obligations of the GDPR. You can view their own privacy policy on their own websites. In exceptional cases, specifically when a payment service provider blocks the payments of a player upon suspicion of fraud or on other grounds such as on the ground of exceeding maximum transactions per hour, we may pass your information to the said provider if you ask us to assist you in resolving the matter with them.

What security measures do we apply to protect your information?
When you give us personal information, we take organizational and technical measures to ensure to keep it secure and protected against unauthorized disclosure, alteration, accidental loss or other violation. We list herein below some of the technical and organizational measures we apply:
We take reasonable endeavours to avoid a situation whereby files or documents containing personal data are allowed on open view without reason. All such documents/files are securely kept in file cabinets to which access is limited to authorized personnel of our company.
We apply a strict permission policy according to which our personnel have access only to such parts of our software or systems as strictly necessary to perform their work tasks and duties. We have specified all relevant roles and permissions in a written security policy and we follow procedures through which access is interrupted or blocked should the need arises, such as when a personnel member leaves our company.
We follow an effective procedure of data destruction ensuring that all documents no longer necessary are effectively destroyed, specifically a shredder machine.
We do not engage into an excessive or unnecessary use of the function of email copying (cc).
Our personnel save all documents and work directly on our servers, thereby ensuring that no personal data remains on the disks of our computers.
Access to all computer terminals of our company is protected by a strong-security password known only by the member of our personnel to whom a given working station is assigned. An automated locking system is applied to all computer terminals.
Access to all software of our company and to corporate email is password-protected, all passwords are kept securely and are updated periodically.
We do not store documents containing personal data on cloud data storage applications and we prohibit the storage of any personal data on the personal devices of our personnel.
We apply effective anti-virus and firewall software and we engage in systematic updates of the said security software.
We ensure that back-up copies of all of the data we store and process are obtained daily and we store the said copies in a secure environment at a location different from where the primary data exists. We have ensured there is a disaster unit covering the data stored in our main data processing software system. We also make daily back-up copies of the software we use for data processing following the guidelines of the provider.
The support service of our data processing software is offered on site under supervision or remotely through a secure VPN.
Access to the Internet through our computers has been limited so that the possibility of access to unsecure or illegal websites presenting a risk to the security of our systems is reduced.
Access to our data processing software is not possible remotely, except by specific members of our personnel through secure VPN and a two-step authentication process.
Activity on our data processing software is restricted so that only managers can edit or delete data.
Remote access to corporate email through personal devices of our personnel is possible but we are notified every time a new device has gained access to email so that we can readily verify that it belongs to authorized personnel. In the event that a personal device is lost or stolen, we have taken measures enabling us to remotely disable or prevent access to corporate email from the said device or delete all content, in the event it appears that contrary to our policy, the personal device has been used to store personal data of our customers.
The possibility of using external data transfer and storage devices such as USBs and external disks has been disabled on the computers of our company and is enabled only on specific stations under the control of the management of the company.
We have a fire protection system in operation on our premises aiming at protecting the physical files with personal data we maintain.
The servers supporting our systems and databases are not used as working stations and are situated in server rooms to which access is restricted.
When you use the forms on our websites to submit personal data to us, your information is encrypted and protected through the use of 256 Bit encryption on SSL. This means that what you send and receive from the website is encrypted, which makes it difficult for anyone else to see, read or take possession of this data. You know that your information is encrypted, when you see a lock icon appearing in address bar of your web browser before the URL of the web page you are on.
