👁️Privacy Policy

As our Anti-Cheat systems improve, players will need to accept this Privacy Policy when connecting to our game servers. This information is ONLY used for Anti-Cheat usage, and any further concerns, questions or requests for information can be addressed by opening a Help Ticket on our Discord and speaking with a Developer/Staff Member. (Copy of current Privacy Policy, please reach out to the staff with any questions or concerns.) Souls of Elysium (referred to herein as "SoE") respects the privacy rights of all users and is aware of the importance of protecting stored personal data. Substantial organisational and technical measures have been taken to ensure the security of all personal data that is collected. This privacy policy explains in detail which information is collected and for which purposes it can be processed and used.

SoE collects, processes and uses personal data for the conclusion and execution of a user's service agreement with SoE. Personal data comprises stock data such as name, address and date of birth of a user as well as usage data such as account number, password, IP address and client information.

SoE collects the usage data that is automatically determined and transmitted by web browsers or any other client software whenever SoE's websites (soerpg.com, us.soerpg.com, eu.soerpg.com or any other of SoE's websites) or one of SoE's other online services is used. Such usage data includes, but is not limited to, IP address, browser version, access time, information on the type and the aim of requests and data about hardware and software of the user's computer system. It is saved in protocol files, with some of the information being stored in anonymous form. Among other purposes, this data is used by SoE for the compilation of anonymous statistical surveys on the use of their online services and for the error analysis and the optimisation of their service.

SoE uses, among other things, cookies to collect, process and use usage data in order to allow, for instance, the management of accounts and of personal settings, the participation in the discussion forum, and the use of further personalised services.

SoE collects, processes and uses stock and usage data, to the extent that is necessary in individual cases, if it is required to reveal and to stop fraudulent behaviour or any other form of using SoE's services which violates legal regulations or the service agreement. In particular, SoE reserves the right to log, process and use information such as the time and the content of conversations and expressions of opinion that take place in their online services if there are complaints, reports or other credible indications of behaviour that violates legal regulations or the service agreement, for example the serious insulting of other users. This regulation extends to all parts of SoE's online service, including, but not limited to, guild channels, private channels and private messages.

SoE collects, processes and uses personal data in connection with complaints and requests to their user support in order to comply with requests in as efficient and satisfactory a manner as possible. Data that is collected for such purposes includes, but is not limited to, the discord username, the date of the contact and its content. Also, SoE processes and uses this data to compile anonymous statistical surveys for the optimisation of their customer support.

SoE displays character names to all visitors on all of SoE's websites as well as to all users in their online services in connection with certain game activities of a user in order to allow other users to selectively contact this user. This occurs, for example, when the user uses characters online, when they act as parts of character associations, or possibly when they are registered in high score lists. Furthermore, SoE generally makes usage data of characters, for example the time of its most recent use or information on its death, available to all visitors on all of SoE's websites as well as to all users in SoE's online services. SoE makes information, such as the record of rule violations or the list of defeated characters, available to all visitors on all of SoE's websites as well as to all users in SoE's online services.

In so far as the transfer of data to third parties is not explicitly allowed by law, SoE

• passes on personal data, to the extent that is necessary, to law enforcement and supervisory authorities for the purpose of preventing dangers to the national or public security as well as for the prosecution of criminal offences.

• passes on the name, address and, to the extent that is necessary in individual cases, further personal data of users to its partner companies, for example for the purpose of handling payment transactions or to provide other services in the framework of the users' service agreement with SoE. Third parties may possibly be based in countries outside of the European Union, but they are bound to protect personal data to the same extent as SoE. SoE will not, aside from the aforementioned cases, pass on personal data to third parties, and solely employees of SoE have access to personal data in order to fulfil the tasks specified above. SoE may change this privacy policy at any time. SoE will notify all users about the changes by placing a prominent notice on the website of SoE. The changed privacy policy will take effect 30 days after it has been officially announced. It will fully apply to any user who has not revoked his or her declaration of consent within this period of time. All users are required to review this policy at regular intervals to keep themselves informed about any changes.

Users have the right of access to their personal data being processed by SoE (Art. 15 GDPR) as well as the right to rectify (Art. 16 GDPR) or erase (Art. 17 GDPR) these personal data. Furthermore they have the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), the right to object to processing of personal data (Art. 21 GDPR) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO). Users can exercise these rights by sending an email to [e-mail] or by creating a support ticket on our Discord. If users revoke their declaration of consent to the processing of their personal data, their accounts at SoE can be blocked, and SoE's personalised services will no longer be available via these accounts.
