Under PIPEDA, we process your personal information based on one or more of the following lawful grounds:

Consent: We obtain your meaningful consent before collecting, using, or disclosing your personal information. You may provide express consent (e.g., by submitting a form) or implied consent (e.g., by continuing to use our platform after being informed of our practices). You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at privacy@firerusharcade.com, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.

Legitimate Interest: We may process your data where we have a legitimate business interest that is not outweighed by your privacy rights, such as improving our platform's security and performance.

Legal Obligation: We may process your data where required to comply with applicable Canadian laws, regulations, or court orders.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

Fire Rush Arcade does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may engage trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our platform, conducting analytics, or providing support services. These providers are contractually bound to use your information only for the purposes we specify and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership.

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our platform uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognize you, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our arcade. For comprehensive details about the cookies we use and how to manage them, please refer to our Cookie Policy. We use localStorage with the prefix fr_ to store your game progress, age verification status, and cookie consent preferences locally on your device. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless explicitly stated.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Account information is retained for the duration of your active account and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Automatically collected technical data such as server logs may be retained for up to 12 months. When personal information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data management practices.

7. Your Rights Under PIPEDA

As a user in Canada, you have the following rights regarding your personal information under PIPEDA:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
• Right to Correction: You may request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw your consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. We will inform you of the implications of withdrawing consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@firerusharcade.com.

8. Children's Privacy

Fire Rush Arcade is designed exclusively for adults aged 19 and older in Canada. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from anyone under the age of 19. Our age verification process is designed to prevent minors from accessing our platform. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a person under 19, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records. If you believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@firerusharcade.com so that we can take appropriate action.

9. International Transfers

Fire Rush Arcade is operated from Canada and our primary data storage and processing takes place within Canadian borders. However, some of our third-party service providers may process data in jurisdictions outside of Canada. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, including contractual obligations that require these providers to protect your personal information in a manner consistent with PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy legislation. By using our platform, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your province or territory of residence, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

10. Security Measures

We implement a variety of technical, administrative, and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission using SSL/TLS protocols, secure server infrastructure, access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel, regular security assessments and vulnerability testing, and employee training on data protection best practices. While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to maintaining industry-standard safeguards.

11. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice such as a banner on our platform or an email to registered users. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of Fire Rush Arcade after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
