Please note that opting-out of interest-based advertising won’t necessarily entirely prevent info from being collected automatically.

 

We use and share your info in accordance with the legal bases set out below to help us provide, operate, improve, understand, customize, support and market Heijar and the Heijar homepage.

We use and share your info (i) to provide the services under the Terms, (ii) with your consent, (iii) in your and our legitimate interests (such as safety and security, and providing a tailored service), and (iv) for other legal reasons.

We rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, share, and otherwise process the info we have about you for the purposes described in this Policy. These legal bases include:

as is necessary to perform the Terms and Conditions and to provide Heijar; where you have consented to the processing, which you may revoke at any time; for Heijar Software to comply with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise and defend legal claims; and where necessary for the purposes of Heijar Software’s or a third party’s legitimate interests, such as those of visitors, users or partners.

We use the info we collect (both individually and in combination with other info collected under this policy) to help us operate our business, provide and improve our products and services, communicate with you, and advertise effectively.

We may disclose player info in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings). This means your info may be one of the assets transferred to the acquiring entity in such situations so that you can continue to use Heijar.

SECURITY

We’re committed to securing user info, but can’t guarantee the security of any data we collect from you. By choosing to share info with us (or anybody else online these days), you’re acknowledging this risk.

We use appropriate physical, technical, and organizational security safeguards to help protect your info from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure both during transmission and in storage. For example, we use computer systems with limited access in controlled facilities to store info. We also use technologies like encryption and hashing to protect some of the info we collect.

However, please note that no server, communications network, or data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. The Heijar AIS and Heijar homepage are no exception. We can’t guarantee the security of any info transmitted through the Heijar services and make no assurances about our ability to prevent any such loss or misuse.

It’s up to you whether you’d like to share info with us; if you do, you’re acknowledging that you’re doing so with this risk.

 

UPDATES AND REVISIONS

We’ll make changes to this policy over time to keep you better informed about how we handle user info.

We’ll update our privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, our business operations, or any other reason we determine is necessary or appropriate. When we do make changes, we’ll update the “Last Modified” date at the top of the policy, post it to the news on the Heijar homepage and send you a link where you can read and accept the new privacy policy. If we make material changes to the policy or the ways we process user info, we’ll provide you additional notice as well (such as by prominently posting a notice of the changes on the Heijar services before they take e”ect or sending you a notification directly).
