Privacy Policy

 

1. Purpose and Scope

BraZen Gaming is a distributor and reseller of furniture and gaming accessories, headquartered in the UK with offices all around the world. When we refer to ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ in this Privacy Notice we are referring to BraZen Gaming and our partners.

This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, store, process, disclose, and delete Personal Data (as defined in this Privacy Notice) you provide directly to us or that we receive from your authorised third parties including, without limitation, that you provide to us via this website, or any website of our affiliates (all referred to as ‘website’) that post or link to this Privacy Notice, accessed through any medium, including via computer, mobile device, or other device. This Privacy Notice also outlines your rights in respect to your Personal Data.

We provide our customers with the ability to purchase or access a variety of product and service offerings made available by us and various preferred providers (“offerings”) both directly from us and through resellers, distributors and vendors. Each offering may be subject to specific privacy policies which may supersede or complement the terms of this privacy policy. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of the relevant offering before accessing or using that offering.

Although we encourage you to read this entire Privacy Notice, this is a summary of some of the more important aspects of the Privacy Notice:

1. Each offering may include its own specific privacy policy. You should carefully read the privacy policy of any offering before accessing or using that offering.
2. We may collect Personal Data and other information from you through a variety of sources, both online and offline.

3. We will not use or share your Personal Data except as described in this Privacy Notice.
4. Where applicable, we honour opt-out instructions from you for certain uses of your Personal Data under this Privacy Notice, for example, when you opt out of receiving marketing email communications from us or request us to delete your Personal Data.
5. We use appropriate technical and organisational controls to secure and protect your Personal Data and whilst we cannot ensure or warrant that your Personal Data will be completely secure from misappropriation by hackers or from other nefarious or criminal activities, we believe that our measures reduce the risk of such activities happening.

2. General Principles for the Processing of Personal Data

5. Personal Data will be protected against unauthorised access and processing using appropriate technical and organisational security measures and controls.
6. Personal Data collected by us will be retained as identifiable data for no longer than necessary to serve the purposes for which the Personal Data was collected.
7. If we engage in the processing of Personal Data for purposes other than those specified in this Privacy Notice, we will provide notice of these changes, the purposes for which the Personal Data will be used, and the recipients of the Personal Data.

We may share Personal Data internally with teams such as Sales, Customer Service, Finance, Marketing and Operations to ensure your products and services are delivered in line with your purchasing agreement with us. We may also share Personal Data to respond to legal process, to protect our customers, to maintain the security of our business, and to protect our rights or property. You can contact us anytime around how we share your data.

We may disclose your Personal Data as follows:

Vendors

We may share Personal Data about you with the third party vendors that make offerings available through us. For example, we may share your Personal Data with a third party vendor if you purchase or access an offering through us, or a vendor requires verification of an offering purchase to register that offering.

Resellers and Distributors

We may share your Personal Data with the resellers and distributors that purchase offerings available through the website. For example, we may share your Personal Data if you purchase or access an offering through a reseller or distributor, and that reseller or distributor leveraged our reseller tools and services.

Affiliates and Business Units

We may share your Personal Data with our partners regardless of whether these entities share our name or brand. We may also share your Personal Data with other business units that also offer products or services under our brand or one of our affiliates. Our affiliates and business units will use your Personal Data we share with them in a manner consistent with this Privacy Notice.

Other Users

We may share your Personal Data with other users when you elect to interact with those users (or request that we communicate with them on your behalf) through the website. This may include facilitating communications with other users or enabling posting of Personal Data to areas of the website accessible by other users. You should be aware that any Personal Data (or other information) you provide in these areas may be read, collected, and used by others who access them.

Law Enforcement and Safety

We may share your Personal Data with any competent law enforcement, regulatory or government agency, court, or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) in connection with actual or proposed litigation, (iii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights or interests or protect our property, security and people, or (iv) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person.

Sale or Acquisition of Assets

If we transfers ownership or control of any portion of our business or the website to an actual or potential buyer, whether in the context of an acquisition, merger, reorganisation, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings), we may transfer your Personal Data to that actual or potential buyer, provided that the use of your Personal Data by that third party remains subject to applicable law and regulations.

Other

If you have asked us to share data with third party sites (such as social media sites), their servers may not be secure. Note also that, despite the measures taken by us and the third parties we engage, the internet is not secure. As a result, others may nevertheless unlawfully intercept or access private transmissions or data.

6. Other Important Privacy Information

Below you will find additional privacy information you may find important.

Your Data Protection Rights

You can exercise your rights at any time by contacting us using the information in the “Questions and Contact Information” section below.

You have the following data protection rights:

1. The right to be informed.
2. The right of access.
3. The right to rectification.
4. The right to erasure.
5. The right to restrict processing.
6. The right to data portability.
7. The right to object.

Similarly, if we have collected and process your Personal Data with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your Personal Data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority, (UK – ico.org.uk)

Security of Personal Data

We take what we consider to be appropriate technical and organisational controls and measures to secure and protect your Personal Data from unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to it, or its misuse, and disclosure. These include strong user access controls, segmented network architecture, security software and comprehensive employee policies and training. It is a priority of ours to ensure all Personal Data is protected and secured to the highest level.

While no system is completely secure, we believe the measures implemented by us reduce our vulnerability to security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved. We have security measures in place to protect our user database and access to this database is restricted internally. However, it remains your responsibility:

1. Where you have a user account for the website:
1. To log off or exit from the website when not using it;
2. To ensure no-one else uses the website while your device is logged on to the website (including by logging on to your device through a mobile, Wi-Fi or shared access connection you are using);
3. To keep your password or other access information secret. Your password and log in details are personal to you and should not be given to anyone else or used to provide shared access for example over a network. You should use a password which is unique to your use of the website – do not use the same password as you use for another site or email account; and,
2. To maintain good internet security. For example, if your email account is compromised this could allow access to your account with us if you have given those details and/or permitted access through those accounts. You should keep all your account details secure. If you think that any of your accounts have been compromised you should change your account credentials with us, and make sure any compromised account does not allow access to your account with us. You should also tell us as soon as you can so that we can try to help you keep your account secure and if necessary warn anyone else who could be affected.

We cannot ensure or warrant that Personal Data will be completely secure from misappropriation by hackers or from other nefarious or criminal activities, or in the event of a failure of computer hardware, software, or a telecommunications network. We will notify you in the event we become aware of a security breach involving your Personal Data (as defined by the applicable laws and regulations) in line with our Incident Management Process.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Data information described above will depend on the Personal Data concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect Personal Data from you only:

1. Where we need the Personal Data to perform a contract with you (such as to fulfil your purchase of an offering);
2. Where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights; or
3. Where we have your consent to do so, which can be withdrawn at any time as mentioned above.

In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal Data from you or may otherwise need the Personal Data to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. If we collect and use your Personal Data in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to operate our platform and communicating with you as necessary to provide our products and services to you, and for our legitimate commercial interest, for instance, when responding to your queries, improving our platform, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.

When we process your personal data for such marketing purposes (and other activities) we consider and balance any potential impact on you and your data protection rights. We will not use your personal data for marketing and other activities where the impact on you overrides our interests (unless we are otherwise lawfully permitted to do so). We may have other legitimate interests, and if appropriate, we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. (This will not always mean we need to stop using your personal data, although for direct marketing-related processing we must stop if you ask us to). See ‘Your Data Protection Rights’ above.

Accuracy

It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate Personal Data. Except as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Notice, we shall only use Personal Data in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorised by you. To the extent necessary for these purposes, we shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is accurate, complete, current and relevant to its intended use.

International Data Transfers

Your Personal Data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.

Our primary data processing servers are in the United Kingdom whilst our affiliates and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your Personal Data we may process it in any of these countries. However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your Personal Data will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice and local laws and regulations.

Retention Period

We retain Personal Data we collect from you in line with our business retention periods. For example, where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (such as to provide you with a product or service, or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements), we may retain the data for up to 7 years.

Children and Vulnerable Customers

We do not knowingly solicit or collect Personal Data from children under 18 years of age.

Third Party Websites

In addition to providing access to offerings, the website may include links to other websites and web services not necessarily under our control. This Privacy Notice does not apply to those websites and services and the privacy practices of those websites and web services may differ from those described in this Privacy Notice. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website or web service you visit before either agreeing to their terms or using those websites.

Compliance

We use a self-assessment approach to verify compliance with this Privacy Notice and periodically verify that the Privacy Notice is accurate, comprehensive for the information intended to be covered, prominently displayed, implemented and accessible.

Revisions

We may from time to time revise this Privacy Notice in its sole and absolute discretion to reflect changes in our business practices. If we revise this Privacy Notice, we will notify you by posting the updated Privacy Notice on this website. We will always seek your consent for any changes in the way we process your personal data, as required by applicable data protection laws.

7. Cookies and Other Website Usage Information

The website may also monitor and collect information about how you access, use, and interact with the website automatically through “cookies” and other automated tracking technology.

A “cookie” is a small text file that is stored on a user’s device. Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type and time spent on the website.

For more information please see our Cookie Policy.

8. What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognise or track visitors to a website. We employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage the website, web services and our communications by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of users.

In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's device, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on website pages or in emails and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We use clear gifs or pixels in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients.

This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications, the usage of the website and our marketing campaigns.

Klarna Cookie information

Klarna Bank AB (publ) (“Klarna”) uses cookies to recognize the user’s device for the purpose of providing advertising of Klarna products the next time the user will browse the merchant’s website offering Klarna products, and for analytics purposes.

Persistent marketing and analytics cookies

These cookies contain a unique user ID which will enable Klarna to recognize the user’s device the next time that user returns to the merchant. These are persistent cookies, stored on the device for a period of up to 540 days as of the last interaction with Klarna, or until they are deleted and allow Klarna (i) to show marketing of Klarna products, including credit promotions to the user, and (ii) to perform analytics of the user behaviour.

By connecting the unique user ID stored in the cookie on the device to the information Klarna has about the user, Klarna will be able to recognize the user of that device. No information connected to the cookies is shared with any third party.

The user’s consent and revocation of consent

Setting cookies for marketing purposes is subject to the user’s consent, which will have to be obtained before the cookies are set on the user’s device. In addition, the web browser or device often allows the user to change the settings for the use of cookies. More information on how to adjust the settings can be found in the browser of device reference information, and on aboutcookies.org.
