Data Collection, Disclosure, Retention, and Your Rights at Richie,
Data Use and Disclosure: We may share your information with third parties for the outlined business purposes. We do not sell personal information (excluding publicly available records and anonymized data) but some sharing might be considered a “sale” under California law. We never share data of users under 16.
Data Retention: We retain data only for service usage, legal requirements, or its intended purpose. Inactive accounts with no use for 180 days may be terminated, and data destroyed, as per the Terms.
California Incentive and Your Rights: The Rewards Program, considered a financial incentive under California law, provides benefits balanced against the value we receive from data insights and user analytics. Participation is voluntary, and you can opt-out anytime (refer to Terms).
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you rights regarding your data:
Right to Know: Understand what data we collect, why, and to whom it’s shared.
Right to Delete: Request deletion of your collected data, subject to exceptions.
Right to Correct: Request correction of any inaccuracies in your data.
Right to Opt Out: Opt out of data sales/sharing and cross-context behavioral advertising.
Right to Limit Use/Disclosure: Limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive information for specific purposes.
Right to Non-discrimination: Not be discriminated against for exercising your CCPA rights.
To opt out of sales/sharing or limit sensitive data use, email help@richie.games We also honor opt-out requests via privacy signals like the Global Privacy Control (GPC).
Submit requests to know, delete, or correct data following the instructions in the Policy. Include “Personal Information Privacy Request” in the subject line, specify the service, and provide your name, address, and email. If requesting deletion, specify removal or a “do not contact” listing. We cannot guarantee you won’t be contacted again if we acquire your data in the future. Responses to know/delete requests will be made within 45 days, with potential extensions.
California users can appoint authorized agents to submit CCPA requests. We’ll verify your identity and the agent’s authorization before processing requests.
Do Not Track Signals: Currently, we don’t honor browser “do-not-track” signals as most websites do.
5. Non-Discrimination Assurance:
Richie will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA.
California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
Do Not Track Signals
Most web browsers have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting, which, when activated, tells websites that the user does not wish to have their online behavior and personal information tracked (e.g., for interest-based advertising). Under CalOPPA, we’re obliged to let you know that, like most websites, we do not recognize or respond to DNT signals set by your browser.
Overseas Transfer of Personal Information
Compliance with Korean Regulations: We may need to transfer your personal information overseas. If this occurs, we’ll ensure that the transfer is done according to the privacy requirements of the Korean Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and the Network Act. This includes using a secure information communication network. Your information will be retained and used only until the purpose for which it was collected is fulfilled.

SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION
Measures to Protect Your Data: We value the safety of your personal information. We employ physical, electronic, and administrative measures to protect your information from accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure. This information is stored on secure servers provided by Amazon AWS in the United States, and protected by firewalls.
Risks of Online Transmission: Please be aware that transmitting information over the Internet can never be entirely secure and may pass through entities outside our control. Despite our best efforts to safeguard your data, no security measures can provide absolute protection.
EXTERNAL LINKS
Our Services might direct you to other websites or apps, such as the Google Play Store, controlled by third parties. These third-party sites have separate privacy practices that we don’t oversee. Please read their privacy policies to understand how they may use your information.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF INFORMATION
Based in Canada: We operate from Canada, and your information is protected under Canadian privacy laws. However, your information may be transferred, stored, or used in other jurisdictions like the United States, where our service providers might be located.
Protections and Risks: Although we take precautions by selecting reputable service providers and contractual safeguards, privacy laws in these jurisdictions may differ and be less protective than those in Canada or the EEA, SUI & UK. There may also be potential access to your information by foreign governments.
GDPR Compliance: For information collected in the EEA, SUI & UK, we transfer and store it securely in the United States in line with GDPR adequacy standards. Other transfers to third countries follow specific mechanisms like the “model clauses.”
