THIRD PARTIES

Our Services may contain links or allow access to other websites and services that we do not own or operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to your activities or information disclosure with regard to these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information to them.

SECURITY

We make reasonable efforts to protect your information by using physical and electronic safeguards designed to improve the security of the information we maintain. However, as our Services are hosted electronically, we can make no guarantees as to the security or privacy of your information.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children under 13 years of age, and no part of our Services are directed to children. By agreeing to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, you represent that you are allowed to use our Services according to your country's applicable age limits. If we learn that a child is under the age of 13 in the United States, or is under the applicable age requirement in another jurisdiction, we will take reasonable steps to obtain parental consent or delete the user's personal information from our files as soon as is practicable. If you learn that a child has provided us with personal information in violation of this Privacy Policy, then you may alert us at contact@highscore.com.

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides additional privacy protections for California consumers, including: a) The Right to Know – the right to see what personal information we have about you, your computer or device, b) The Right to Delete – the right to delete the information we have about you, your computer or device and c) The Right to Non-Discrimination – we will not discriminate against you if you exercise any of the above rights.

Other privacy rights under the CCPA:

  1. You may object to the processing of your personal data.
  2. You may request correction of your personal data if it is incorrect or no longer relevant, or ask to restrict the processing of the data.
  3. You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. We may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been validly authorized to act on your behalf in accordance with the CCPA.
  4. You may request to opt-out from future selling of your personal information to third parties. We do not “sell” personal information as defined by the CCPA.

The CCPA defines personal information broadly and as such, it includes pseudonymous identifiers such as cookie IDs and mobile advertising IDs. Under the CCPA, your request to see the personal information that we have about you may include: (1) specific pieces of personal information that we may have about you; (2) categories of personal information we have collected about you; (3) categories of sources from which the personal information is collected; (4) categories of personal information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose about you; (5) categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose under the CCPA; and (6) the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling personal information.

To exercise these rights as a California resident, you can contact us by email at contact@highscore.com, or by referring to the contact details at the bottom of this document.

Please note that to protect your information and the integrity of our Services, we may need to verify your identity before processing your request. In some cases, we may need to collect additional information to verify your identity, such as a government issued ID. We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification.

INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

Our Services are hosted in the United States and intended for visitors located within the United States. If you choose to use the Services from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, then please note that you are transferring your personal information outside of those regions to the United States for storage and processing. Also, we may transfer your data from the U.S. to other countries or regions in connection with the storage and processing of data, fulfilling your requests, and operating the Services. By providing any information, including personal information, on or to the Services, you consent to such transfer, storage, and processing.

If you choose to use the Services from certain regions (like the European Economic Area), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request and obtain a copy of your personal information (we may charge you a small fee for this service), (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information.

If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at our email: contact@highscore.com. If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
