SUKEBAN GAMES PRIVACY POLICY
株式会社Sukeban Games, a Japanese limited liability company (“Sukeban”, “we”, “us” and their derivatives) makes this policy available to users of our websites, including waifubartending.com, sukeban.moe and its subdomains (collectively, the “Websites”), the “VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action” videogame for Windows PC, Macintosh, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 (collectively, the “Game”), and other online services we may provide (with the Websites and the Game, collectively, the “Services”).
What personal data we collect and why/how we collect it
Information from Third-Party Game Platforms. We may automatically receive your personal data from the third-party platform (e.g., Steam, the Playstation Store, Xbox Live etc.) (each a “Third-Party Platform”) through which you download and play the Game. The personal data we collect from a Third-Party Platform may include, by way of example, your name, the name of your account associated with the Third-Party Platform, and a list of your saved contacts with the Third-Party Platform (e.g., your “Steam Friends List”). Personal data collected by a Third-Party Platform is subject to such Third-Party Platform’s privacy policy (e.g., the Steam Privacy Policy Agreement and the Playstation.com Privacy Policy). Information collected from Third-Party Platforms is used in accordance with the “How we use personal data” section below.
Correspondence. If you correspond with us electronically, we will retain records of our correspondence, including the contents of whatever was said, your email address, your name and any other information that you provide to us in such correspondence.
Analytics. If you browse our Websites, we may collect certain information about your use of our Websites. This information may include, without limitation, the number of page visits and duration, type of browser, etc. Some of this information, such as your IP address, may constitute personal data.
Data we collect about your use of the Websites may be collected through “cookies” and “web beacons”. Cookies are small files placed on the hard drive of your computer through your web browser that enable us to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. Web beacons (also referred to as “clear gifs”, “pixel tags”, and “single-pixel gifs”) are small electronic files that enable us, for example, to count users who have visited our pages and for other related website statistics. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Additionally, other online resources, such as Privacy Badger from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, are available that can help block certain automatic data collection technologies. Please note that, if you disable or refuse cookies or other automatic data collection technologies such as web beacons, some aspects of the Services may be inaccessible or not function properly.
Where personal data is processed; transfer of personal data
We are based in Japan, and may process and transfer your personal data in and to Japan and other countries, regardless of where you are. Note that the laws regulating the collection, use, and disposal of personal data vary from country to country, so applicable law in the country where your personal data may be processed may not be as comprehensive or strict as the laws of the country where you’re located.
How we use personal data
If you reach out to us directly, we will use your personal data to respond to you. When you play the Game, we may use personal data collected from the applicable Third-Party Platform in order to present the Game and its various features and functions to you. Where you’ve provided information to us for a specific purpose (e.g., to help us troubleshoot an issue you’re having with the Services), we’ll use your information in furtherance of that purpose. We do not use automated decision-making in connection with the processing of your information.
Access to personal data by contractors and other third parties
We may give certain independent contractors access to data we collect, including personal data. These independent contractors may assist us with tracking use of our Websites and the provision and improvement of the Services. Independent contractors that work for us are obligated to keep personal data confidential and use it only in accordance with our express instructions. We are not responsible for the conduct of any of our independent contractors.
We also may disclose personal data:
- to our subsidiaries and affiliates;
- to a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Sukeban’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal data held by Sukeban pertaining to the users of our Services is among the assets transferred;
- to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, such as responding to a government or regulatory request;
- to enforce any contract we may have in effect with you; and
