High Level Summary

Users are empowered to explore client-side privacy techniques and tools. Any material changes to our privacy practices will be reflected in an updated Privacy Policy.

Cookies and Automatic Data Collection Technologies

  • Store your preferences so we may customize our websites according to your individual interests.

  • Recognize you when you return to our website.

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

  • Web Beacons, Pixel Tags, Clear Gifs. Our website pages and emails may contain small transparent embedded images or objects known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count website page visitors or email readers, or to compile other similar statistics such as recording website content popularity or verifying system and server integrity. For information about managing web beacons, see Your Rights and Choices.

Opt-out preference signals or Global Privacy Controls (GPC) provide consumers with a simple and easy-to-use method by which consumers interacting with us online can automatically exercise their opt-out of sale/sharing rights. We will process any opt-out preference signals that meet the following requirements:

  • A signal that is in a format commonly used and recognized by businesses; and

  • The technology or mechanism that sends the opt-out preference signal makes clear to the consumer that the use of the signal is meant to have the effect of opting the consumer out of sale and sharing of their personal information.

However, if you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website may become inaccessible or not function properly.

  • California Residents. California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) permits users of our website that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. At this time, we do not engage in this type of disclosure.

  • EU Residents. If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or are otherwise subject to the General Data Protection Regulation or the UK GDPR, then this section applies to you. You have a right to:

    • Request access to your personal data, commonly known as a “data subject access request”, which allows you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

    • Request a correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

    • Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

    • Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

    • Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

      • If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.

      • Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

      • You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

    • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

    • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

    • We may make automated decisions about you based on your personal information that may affect your access or services provided to you. You have the right not to be subject to the automated decision making so long as the decision is not necessary for the performance of the contract with you or required by legal obligation. If the decision making is necessary, you may contest the decision and request human intervention in the decision-making process.

    • You also have a right to lodge a complaint with the relevant Data Protection Authority.

International Transfers

Acre Stakes is a global company, and we maintain the information collected and generated in the United States that may have privacy laws that offer different levels of protection from the privacy laws of where you live. If you visit our site or communicate with us, you consent to our collection, transfer, processing and use of your personal information in the United States. We will ensure that your personal information is adequately protected by this policy and the relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

If you are located in the EEA, we have put in place appropriate measures to comply with the laws and regulations to ensure that the transfer of personal data from the EEA to countries outside of the EEA provides an adequate level of data protection.

Data Security

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards designed to protect your personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose of collecting it.

We also require our service providers and business partners to whom we disclose the information to do the same. When you use certain types of information, such as debit or credit card numbers, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). However, the Internet environment is not 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee that information we collect will never be accessed in an unauthorized way.

The safety and security of your information also depend on you. You are responsible for keeping your personal information confidential. We urge you to take care when providing information to social media accounts or discord servers, which any other visitors can view.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We will post any changes we may make to our privacy policy on this page. If the changes materially alter how we use or treat your information, we will notify you through a notice on the website home page. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page.
