1. Introduction

Torn Banner Studios, Inc. (“Torn Banner Studios”, “we” or “us”) is a Canadian video game developer based in. Our headquarters are located at.

This Torn Banner Studios Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) describes how Torn Banner Studios collects, uses, shares, and retains personal data that you provide to us, or that we collect, when you use any Torn Banner Studios game we create or license.
Please read this Privacy Notice carefully. If you disagree with anything in this Privacy Notice you must not provide personal data for anything through the website or use Torn Banner Studios’ games or services. By using or continuing to use the website or any of our games or services, you are accepting the terms, conditions and directions set forth in this Privacy Notice, as described below.

2. Data Torn Banner Studios Collects

2.1 General Description
The specific data Torn Banner Studios collects, stores and processes depends on which products you use and how you use them. We collect personal data and non-personal user data and will disclose in this Privacy Notice the circumstances under which Torn Banner Studios collects either personal data or non-personal data.

For purposes of this Privacy Notice, Torn Banner Studios adopts the definition of personal data set forth in the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) at Article 4(1) which broadly defines personal data as “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person” and includes identifiers such as a name, online identifiers such as an IP address, and email addresses. This is not an exhaustive list, but a few examples aimed at helping you understand what constitutes personal data.

Non-personal user data is data that should not identify a person or to allow Torn Banner Studios to contact a specific person. Some examples of non-personal data are information about the number of users that visit Torn Banner Studios’s website and the pages of the website which are visited, as well as usage data as to certain features of Torn Banner Studios games that is not connected to any particular user. These are examples and not an exhaustive list of all types of non-personal data.

If you are from the United States, you may be accustomed to the term “personally identifiable information” or “PII” to describe personal data. For purposes of this Privacy Notice, personally identifiable information is personal data as defined in Article 4(1) of the GDPR except as specified under Children.

Where this Privacy Notice describes processing personal data, Torn Banner Studios adopts the definition of “processing” set forth under Article 4(2) of the GDPR: “processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.”

2.2 Games Data Collection
Torn Banner Studios strives to create the best gaming experience possible. To provide an enhanced and personalized gaming experience that minimizes the interruption of bugs and service errors, prohibits and investigates fraudulent activity, and helps us determine how we can improve our games, we automatically process a range of personal data described below.

For all the personal data processing activities described in sections 2.2.1-2.2.5, Torn Banner Studios is the data controller as defined by Article 4(7) of the GDPR. This means Torn Banner Studios determines the purposes and means of the processing of the personal data. We do not delete the data we collect described in subsections 2.2.1-2.2.3 unless the law governing your personal data provides you with a right to deletion and you request to delete this data.

2.2.1 In-Game Analytic Data
We process your proprietary platform identification (such as your Epic Games ID, PSN online ID and/or Xbox Live ID) and your in-game data to allow us to analyze gameplay across the board and improve our games based on how the game is actually being played. In-game analytic data is information that includes, but is not limited to, maps played, characters played, weapons used, results of matches, heatmap information on where players died/were killed from in game and current level achieved. Torn Banner Studios partners with several third parties detailed below to maintain these analytics data, including:
Amazon Web Services (“AWS”)
mongoDB
Redash

2.2.2 Achievements, Player Stats
We also process your Epic Games ID, PSN online ID and/or Xbox Live ID along with your Achievements/Trophies and statistics related to the level of play you achieved in a particular session and over time, weapons used, characters defeated, and various details relevant to the particular game you are playing. This data allows us to provide you with a seamless gaming experience where you can begin each game session on the highest level previously achieved and access your personal dashboard of game accomplishments and statistics from within the game.

2.2.3 Inventory of Gifts & In-Game Purchases
Your Epic Games ID, PSN online ID and/or Xbox Live ID is also processed in conjunction with any in-game purchases, gifts or other game inventory you may have obtained so that there is a permanent record of your inventory acquired in the game that you can access.

Amazon Web Services (“AWS”)
Gameye
Multiplay
Epic Games Store
Microsoft
Sony

2.2.4 Surveys
Torn Banner Studios occasionally creates surveys administered by Google. These surveys are placed onto the main menu of your game. You are invited to participate in the survey but your participation is entirely voluntary. If you elect to participate in a survey, we collect, record and store your email address because we use your email address to confirm that you are a real person and not a bot or some other type of spam actor. When the time period for the survey has ended, the link to the survey will be removed from the main menu of your game. Once the survey is closed to further participation, all email addresses are deleted, so that we can begin analysis of the survey.

2.2.5 Prevent Cheating
Torn Banner Studios is committed to keeping our games fair and prohibiting cheating. We partner with third party Easy Anti-Cheat to identify and ban cheaters. Easy Anti-Cheat’s data processing practices are described in more detail in 3.1 Easy Anti-Cheat.

2.2.6 Crashes, Bugs & Service Errors
To identify, diagnose and correct bugs and service errors we partner with Bugsplat to log crashes and provide us with diagnostic information. If your game crashes it will request whether you want to send an error report to Bugsplat. If you choose to send the error report Bugsplat will collect, record, store and use your IP address and, optionally, your email address, so that we can process that data to analyze why the service error occurred.

For the bug-fixes, crashes and other service errors that Torn Banner Studios partners with Bugsplat to address, and which are detailed in section 2.3.6, Torn Banner Studios is the data controller and Bugsplat is the data processor as defined by Article 4(8) of the GDPR. This means Bugsplat processes the limited personal data disclosed in 2.3.6 on behalf of Torn Banner Studios to address service errors and crashes that occur in our games.

Easy Anti-Cheat cannot delete the personal data and non-personal data it collects in order to prevent any future or further cheating or fraudulent activity.
