Mythic Mania Privacy Policy
BICI Games values your privacy and promises to take care of the personal information we collect from you.
Personal information can be any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. In other words, it can be any information that could allow us to identify you both directly and indirectly (like for example your name, email address or billing address). In this policy, we will sometimes use the words “personal information” and sometimes the words “personal data” or simply “data” to refer to your personal information.
This policy applies to all BICI Games products (“Product(s)”), such as BICI Games owned websites, as well as other interactions through email communication, customer support, offline interactions at conventions, information about your technical equipment such as your hardware and software type, location data, and other information you provide us with, for example when you sign up for our surveys and contests or play some of our games.
This Policy explains which personal information we collect from you, for what reasons, how we use, store and transfer such information but also how you can contact us to ask about your data and invoke your rights.
We only collect, use, store and transfer (“process“) your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including but not limited to the (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (“GDPR“) and applicable national data protection legislation (hereafter “applicable law“).
What data do we collect and when?

Through third-party services like Facebook, Twitter, Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager, we collect page usage (e.g. buttons clicked, screens viewed, time spent, etc.), general demographics (language, country, city, age range, gender, interest categories), device usage and operating system. We use such data to deliver and personalize our communications with you and provide the most relevant advertising to you. BICI Games may work with third-party advertisers that utilize cookies and similar technologies to provide more relevant advertising about BICI Games Products on our website and across the Internet. To provide this “interest-based advertising”, these parties combine non-personal data learned about your online activities over time which helps ensure that your advertisement is customized to you.

to fulfil a contract we have with you (for example, when you purchase a game); when it is our legal duty (for example, to identify your age and make sure we are not collecting data from young children);
when you consent to it (for example, when subscribing to our newsletter); or
when it is in our legitimate interest (for example, to enforce our policies, to manage our everyday business, to ensure information security, to prevent fraud or to transfer the data to different part of the organisation when necessary).
Sharing and Disclosure
BICI Games does not and will not sell personal information from our users. We only disclose your data strictly as stated in this policy. We may only share information with the types of third parties described below and always ensure when sharing information, that such third parties adhere to the same principles.
To Whom We Disclose your Personal Information:
Third-Party Vendors that perform services such as website management and hosting, shipping, customer support applications or email communications (like for example, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, Teamtailor and Discord). In such instances, your personal information will be shared with these agents, contractors or partners but only for the purpose of performing services on behalf of BICI Games and in accordance with this policy. The updated list of these parties may be requested from BICI Games at any time.
Parties with whom it might be necessary when required by law or in connection with legal proceedings; to prevent harm to BICI Games or its customers; for the prevention and detection of crime or the apprehension or prosecution of offenders; to protect the rights or property of BICI Games.

Functional cookies. These cookies allow our website to remember your settings and help personalize your experience. For instance, we may store your geographic location in a cookie to ensure that we show you the BICI Games website localized for your area.
Third-Party cookies. Third-party cookies are those placed by websites and/or parties other than BICI Games. These cookies may be used on our website for improvement of our Products or services, or to help us provide more relevant advertising.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences, however, if you limit the ability of websites to set cookies, you may worsen your overall user experience.
Security
BICI Games is committed to protecting the security of your personal data. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.
While no service is completely secure, BICI Games takes reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
The servers on which your personal information is stored are kept in a controlled environment with limited access. While we take reasonable efforts to guard personal information we collect from you, no security system is impenetrable. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at hello@mythicmania.com.
Our Policy Towards Children
BICI Games does not knowingly collect personal information from children or send them requests for personal information. Although visitors of all ages may navigate through our website, we do not intentionally collect personal information from persons under the age of 16. Following a notification by a parent or guardian, or discovery by other means, that we are storing data for a child under 16, we will delete the child’s personal information from our records.
Where We Store and Process Personal Data
Personal data collected by BICI Games may be stored and processed in your region, in the United States or in any other country where BICI Games or its affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers maintain facilities.
All information you provide may be transferred or accessed by entities around the world as described in this policy. BICI Games uses approved Standard Contractual Clauses for the international transfers of personal information collected in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
Our Retention of Personal Data
BICI Games retains personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Services, support your Product and fulfil the transactions you have requested, or for other essential purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements. Because these needs vary for different data types in the context of different Products or Services, actual retention periods vary significantly.
