Personal information

We may collect some personal information from you in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. The ways in which we collect personal information and our policies governing its maintenance, use, destruction and disclosure are described in this Privacy Policy. “Personal information” means any information that can be used to personally identify you, such as your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, voice, social security number, IP address, “personal data” (as that term is defined Article 4(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation), other identifiers by which you may be contacted online or offline, and other similar types of information under applicable law. Additionally, “Personal information” may include some non-personal information when it is linked with other types of personal information or non-personal information.

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION

When you use the Services, we may collect information from you in the following ways:

Information from Third Party Platforms. We may automatically receive your personal information from third parties (e.g. Valve, other game developers, etc.). Personal Information collected by the third-party platform that you use to access (e.g. your Steam account administered by Valve Corporation) is subject to the applicable third-party terms of use and/or privacy policy (for more information, please see Steam’s Privacy Policy Agreement). Our use of your personal information collected through the Game is limited to the purposes described in the “How We Use Your Information” section below.

Registration. If you “register” an account with us, you will be required to provide personal information. To register, you may be prompted to provide us with an email address and a password. When you register, we will send you an email to verify your email address and complete the registration process. Users should not pick a password that is easy to guess and should not share their password.

Direct communications with us. If you send us or one of our representatives an email or otherwise correspond with us directly, we will have access to any information that you provide to us in such correspondence. Please limit any personal data to a minimum (i.e. only so much as is necessary to respond to your request). Our Terms of Service (available at http://www.pureskill.gg/terms-of-service) (the “Terms of Service”) also govern our use of and ownership of information that you provide to us in direct communications.
