Introduction

Itzy Interactive Inc. is focused on the development of videogames for your enjoyment. We value your privacy. New European Union legislation called the GDPR now sets out comprehensive requirements for all companies handling the personal data of EU citizens.

We think these are good steps towards protecting customer data generally, so we are treating all of our customers with the same care, not just EU residents!

The GDPR requires a number of things we must tell you of when we collect data from you. We have provided all the information you need as simply and clearly as possible through this Privacy Policy using a question-and-answer format.

We may continue to update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

How did you get my data?

Email List:

If you are on our email list, in almost all cases that means you opted in at some point to join it. In some cases, it’s possible that you backed one of our products on Kickstarter, and we collected data from that database to add you to our email list.

Backer Database:

If you are in our backer database, it is because you backed Lucas: Chapter One on Kickstarter.

Website and Cookies:

If we have website/cookie data about you, it’s because you visited one of our websites (itzyinteractive.com, lucasvideogame.com or maddevilsgame.com). You may have also signed up and participated on one of our discussion forums.

What do you use my data for?

We use your data only to keep connected with you as a customer of Itzy Interactive Inc.

Specific activities include:

  • Staying in touch with you about Itzy Interactive Inc news and products.

We only keep your data as long as you remain subscribed to the mailing list. You can do this at any time using the unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email we send you.

We will keep your data long enough to be able to fulfill all Kickstarter-related rewards and activities. Kickstarter has their own policy for maintaining your data, so we encourage you to check with them for any related concerns.

Where will my data be stored?

Occasionally, your data will be stored on Itzy Interactive’s own internal systems. However, generally we use cloud based services to store and process data about customers. Some of these cloud providers store data in the United States. We try to use providers that are certified under the EU-US privacy shield framework (see https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome ). More information about the security measures put in place by these providers is linked to below.

We may choose to use other service providers in future, if we do they will be bound by the same strict rules which guarantee that the same safeguards are in place, and your rights remain the same. If we change our service providers then we will update the details on this page so you can always return to this page to see where your data is being stored.

  • Access: You have the right to view the data we hold about you and to receive copies of this data in digital format.
