PRIVACY POLICY

(Updated June 2024)

Please note: For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "iWhale" refers to the brand name under which we operate, whereas the legal entity is Metaverse Games Studio B.V.

Your privacy is important to us. Our privacy statement explains what personal data iWhale collects from you, through our interactions with you and through our services, and how we use that data. The data will be well secured, and we will not share your personal data with third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so.

WHICH DATA WILL BE PROCESSED BY iWHALE?

When you create a client account through our website, we ask you to provide us with your personal details (first name, last name, and a company name). We also ask for your email address and collect your IP address. After your account is approved, we will opt you into our newsletter email list. If you do not wish to receive such updates, you can send a written notice to partners@iwhale.gg and your email will be removed from this list.

When you register for an iWhale event, we collect personal data (first name, last name, and email address). We use this data to inform you about important and/or relevant information about this specific event. The communication is mostly in the form of emails. You may receive several emails around an event. After the event has taken place, we will delete this data from our register.

When you send us a contact request through our website, we collect personal data (first name, last name, and email address). We use this data to contact you about your request. We shall not use this data afterward, and this data shall be deleted from our systems automatically at the end of each calendar year.

If you opt-in to receive our corporate newsletter through our website, we collect personal data (first name, last name, email address, and IP address). If we notice that you haven’t opened a newsletter within twelve (12) months, we shall delete your email address from that newsletter campaign and no longer send you those newsletters on such an email address.

THE PURPOSE OF PROCESSING DATA AND THE BUSINESS OF iWHALE

Affiliates

iWhale collects data to operate effectively and provide you with the best services, which include regular business operations and creating personalized marketing initiatives. You provide some of this data directly, such as when you create an iWhale client account through our website, register for an iWhale event, contact us through our website, or register for our corporate newsletter.

iWhale may also use the data to communicate with you, for example, to inform you about your account, security updates, and product information. We use that data to send you our weekly newsletters, which consist of the latest offers.

Corporate News

If you opt-in to receive our corporate newsletter through our website, we will send you occasional newsletters with industry updates and iWhale corporate news. We will not send more than 4 newsletters per month.

Finally, we use the data from contact requests to contact you about your request.

Way of Processing

When you apply for a client account through our website, we collect that data in the background of our website (Framer). The data is automatically transferred to our Tracking System IREV and manually added to our CRM system.

Provision to Third Parties

Your data will not be provided to other third parties unless we are required to do so by law.

Your Rights (Modify, Unsubscribe, or be Forgotten)

You can modify your personal data used for the newsletters by clicking the link ‘Modify details’ which can be found at the bottom of each newsletter that we send you. If you want to unsubscribe from any of these lists, you can find the ‘Unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of any of the newsletters that we send you. There you can see all the email lists on which your data is saved, and you can unsubscribe from several or all email lists at once. You have the right to have your personal data erased if the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which iWhale originally collected or processed it, or you object to that processing (the so-called right to be forgotten). You can make this request by sending us a request to partners@iwhale.gg. We’ll respond to this request within 48 hours (working days) and make sure that all stored personal data about you is erased from all our systems.

Data Integrity

iWhale has taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss or any form of unlawful processing.
