Security

Pitchdeck Gaming takes appropriate security and technical measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss and misuse. In addition, we request that our partners who process personal information on our behalf take a range of security measures designed to help protect your personal information and maintain an appropriate level of security. In addition, we request vendors who process personal information on our behalf to take a range of security measures designed to help protect your personal information. However, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information online and offline, as the internet by its nature is not a secure environment and the nature of security risks is constantly evolving. As such you should always take care when sharing your information online.

Pitchdeck Gaming maintains and keeps your personal information confidential, unless it is not confidential by nature, for example publicly-available information like user generated content, leaderboard rankings and scores, etc or information that you post or publish on your social media.

Legal Basis

In each case where we process your information, we do so lawfully in accordance with one of the legal basis set out under European data protection law. The legal basis which we rely upon are the following:

  • Contractual Necessity and performance of the Games and other Services. We process your personal information for the performance of our Games and other Services, to provide or support of our Games and other Services, or for any other feature you request or enable. This includes using your personal information, for example, to:

    • support purchases you made;

    • administer your King profile or account;
