We use standard industry practices, such as firewalls and encryption, to safeguard your personally identifiable information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or destruction. All donations, including the transmission of payment details and other personal information, are handled over secure, encrypted connections. We take reasonable steps to ensure that cross-border data transfers comply with existing data protection laws.

We hold on to your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was collected, unless otherwise required by law. If you request that we stop sending you updates and other communications or delete your information, we will honor your request and keep the minimum amount of information possible to prevent fraud and to help ensure that you are not contacted again.

HOW CAN YOU UPDATE AND CORRECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

You can review and update your personal information via your profile page, or simply contact us if you have other data access requests. You also have the right to:

Restrict or Erase: You can ask us to limit our use of your information or ask us to delete your personal information from our records if there is no compelling reason for us to hold on to it.

Object: You can object, on legitimate grounds, to the processing of your personal information, including direct marketing and profiling.

Access or Take your data: You can ask us to confirm whether we are processing your personal information by emailing admin@gameofourliv.es. You can also make a reasonable request for a copy of that information or to have it transferred to another data controller (to the extent possible).

Please note that where we rely on your consent to use your personal information, all users worldwide have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This includes the option to unsubscribe from our email list at any time or to contact us to request to be excluded from our online campaign promotion lists or email messaging.

WHAT IS THE LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR INFORMATION?

When we process your personal information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent : We will ask for your consent to use your information to send you details about our campaigns, fundraisers, and action opportunities, for targeted advertising and profiling, and if you ever share sensitive personal information with us.

Contractual relationships : When you donate to us, or otherwise enter into a contract with us, we’ll need to process your personal information.

Legal obligations : When strictly necessary, we’ll process your personal information due to a binding legal obligation on us.

Legitimate interests : So long as our use is fair, balanced, and doesn’t unduly impact your rights, we will collect and process your personal information when we have a legitimate interest that serves the Game of Our Lives mission, our services, or our activities.

WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT THIRD PARTIES?

To further our mission, Game of Our Lives may collect, store, and process the personal information of third parties for public interest purposes: to report on matters of public concern, to protect freedom of expression and democracy, and to equip decision makers with critical information and analysis.

For these purposes, we may collect, alone or in collaboration with trusted third parties, individual’s name, contact, and other identifying information, images, photographs, audio, or video, social media account profiles and information posted or shared via such accounts.

We may collect such data from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, publicly available information, information provided by Game of Our Lives members or others participating in our work, social media platforms and APIs, research databases, fact-checking organizations, and platform analysis software. We’ll keep such data secure and review its retention to ensure its processing remains necessary to our public interest purposes.

Any person about whom we may hold personal information in the European Union and European Economic Area and Switzerland, has the same rights as users as detailed in How can you update and correct your personal information? However, we may not be able to comply with a request where these rights are subject to an exception, for example where we are processing data for journalistic or academic purposes. Other exceptions include where the use of the personal data is in connection with the prevention and detection of crime or where it is legally privileged.

We will disclose third party data, in the following circumstances: if there is a compelling reason as described above in Do We Share Your Information?; as described below in More on Protection of Avaaz and Others; or if aligned with our public interest purposes, we may share data with social media platforms, media organizations, fact-checking organizations, decision-makers, and regulatory and law enforcement agencies.

MORE ON PROTECTION OF GAME OF OUR LIVES AND OTHERS

We believe you should have a reasonable expectation of privacy in information you disclose online that is not clearly intended for public dissemination. Where possible, we may attempt to defend this principle even though most jurisdictions currently take the opposition position.

We may attempt not to disclose material in response to overzealous or inappropriate requests. When we have a good faith belief that the law compels us to do so or when we think justice would be served, we may cooperate with law enforcement authorities or court orders requesting or directing us to disclose personal information of any user of this site. Should this happen we will attempt to provide you with notice before we disclose your personal information, unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise as described above in Do We Share Your Information?
