THE PERSONAL DATA OF MINORS

当Our games and services are not aimed at children under the age of thirteen (as well as children who have not reached any applicable ages of consent in accordance with applicable legislation), and we do not intentionally collect or solicit personal data from minors. If we learn that we have unintentionally collected personal data from a child under thirteen (or a child who has not reached the age of consent in accordance with applicable legislation) without the consent of that child’s holder of parental responsibility, we will take all reasonable steps to erase this information as soon as possible. If you find out that your child has provided us with their personal data without your consent, please contact us at: privacy@gaijin.net. Please provide us with conclusive evidence that (a) personal data was provided by a child who has not yet reached the minimum age of consent in accordance with applicable legislation, and (b) that you are the minor’s holder of parental responsibility.
[For our European users:
We do not exactly know the age of our users, but before their first game log-in, we always ask each user whether they have reached the age of thirteen or whichever other age may be required in accordance with the applicable legislation of their particular country of origin (the age of consent within the European Union varies from thirteen to sixteen years, depending upon the country in question), and without confirmation of this fact we do not grant access to the game to such a user. Children who have not reached the age of consent in accordance with their country’s legislation may use our games and the website only upon receipt of the consent of their holder of parental responsibility.]

DATA RETENTION

We retain any of your personal data which we collect for as long as your game account is active, and for as long as it is necessary to provide you with access to the games, and while we have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data, from the moment we receive your personal data until the moment at which we erase your personal data in accordance with article 6.4. Please note that some of your user data, as set forth in article 6.4, will not be erased even after we have complied with your deletion request. We also erase your personal data after reaching the goal for which we collected such data (ie. data as set out in clauses 2.1.4 and 2.1.5).
