​

8. ADDITIONAL POLICIES IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CCPA

The CCPA affords California consumers the rights with respect to their Personal Information set forth in this section.

 

8.1 RIGHT TO KNOW ABOUT PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED, USED, DISCLOSED, OR SOLD

California consumers have the right to request that the Company disclose what Personal Information it has collected, used, disclosed, and sold over the 12-month period preceding the Company’s receipt of such a request. To exercise this right, a California consumer must submit to the Company a verifiable request to know such information. This request can be submitted by emailing us at Info@dancegamesofficial.com.

 

8.2 RIGHT TO REQUEST DELETION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

California consumers have the right to request the deletion of their Personal Information collected or maintained by the Company.

This request can be submitted by emailing us at Info@dancegamesofficial.com.

 

8.3 RIGHT TO NON-DISCRIMINATION FOR THE EXERCISE OF A CONSUMER’S PRIVACY RIGHTS

California consumers have the right to not be discriminated against because the consumer exercised any of the consumer’s rights under the CCPA.  That means that the Company may not deny goods or services to the consumer, charge different rates for goods or services, or provide a different level or quality of goods or services if the consumer chooses to exercise their rights under the CCPA.

 

8.4 SUBMITTING A CCPA DATA REQUEST

To submit a request to know about the Personal Information we collect about you as described in Section 8.1 or a request for deletion of your Personal Information as described in 8.2, please contact us at Info@dancegamesofficial.com. 

 

PBHE is required to verify the identity of the individual requesting access to a consumer’s data or requesting deletion of a consumer’s data.  If PBHE has previously received your email address, PBHE may verify that you have access to that email address by sending a verification code; or if PBHE has previously received your mobile number, PBHE may text you a verification code.

 

8.5 AUTHORIZED AGENT

California consumers may designate an authorized agent to exercise a CCPA right on the consumer’s behalf. If a consumer utilizes an authorized agent to exercise a CCPA right, the following proof that the agent has been authorized to act on the consumer’s behalf will need to be provided:

  • Proof of written permission by the consumer for the authorized agent to act on his or her behalf and separate verification of the consumer; or

In addition to the other policies described in this Privacy Policy, residents of the European Union or the EEA are afforded the following additional rights and protections as required by the General Data Privacy Regulation (“GDPR”).  The additional rights and protections set forth in this section of this Privacy Policy apply only to residents of the European Union or the EEA.

 

9.1 THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In order to comply with the GDPR, we are required to set out the legal basis for the processing of your Personal Information.  In accordance with the purposes for which we collect and use your Personal Information, as set out above, the legal basis for processing your Personal Information will typically be one of the following:

  • Our own legitimate business interests, or the legitimate business interests of our third party partners, promoters, affiliates, distributors, suppliers, vendors, and subcontractors, such as, for example, providing direct marketing to our customers of our products and services that we think would be of interest, permitting prospective employees to search and apply for job opportunities, handling inquiries from our promoters, affiliates, distributors, vendors, and customers, or other instances where we have carried out a legitimate interests assessment and have established an existing legitimate interest;

  • The performance of a contract that we have in place with you;

  • Your consent where appropriate; or

  • Compliance with our legal obligations, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

 

9.2 WHERE WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

The data that we collect from you is stored on secure servers provided by our website developer and cloud service providers, such as Wix.com and Amazon Web Services.  If you are a resident of the EEA, your Personal Information may be transferred within or outside the EEA to areas where privacy laws may be less strict than in the EEA.  By submitting your Personal Information, you agree to this transfer, storing, and processing.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk.  Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorized access.

 

9.3 ADDENDUM TO HOW LONG WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In some cases, there is a legal requirement to keep Personal Information for a minimum period of time.  Except in those circumstances, we do not keep your Personal Information for any longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the Personal Information was collected or for which it is to be further processed.

 

9.4 YOUR RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Subject to certain exceptions, you have the following rights with respect to your Personal Information:

  • To receive or access a copy of the Personal Information that we hold about you;

  • To have your Personal Information erased, unless we have a legitimate reason to retain the Personal Information (such as if we are required to do so for legal reasons); and

  • To ask us not to process your Personal Information for a particular purpose, including for marketing.

 

All of these rights are subject to certain conditions and exemptions.  For example, PBHE will not be obligated to erase your Personal Information if we need to retain it to protect ourselves in the event of a legal claim. To exercise any of these rights, please submit a written request to us using the contact information set forth below. The Company reserves the right to charge a fee in dealing with such a request as permitted by applicable law and regulations.  You may also opt out of receiving additional marketing information by using the unsubscribe feature in any marketing email we send you.
