If you believe that we might have collected Personal Data related to a user under the age of 13 without the explicit consent of a parent or guardian, please submit a request through this DSAR form.

For questions or concerns about the handling or deletion of your YouTube data, please submit a request through this DSAR form.

3.2 Use of Personal Data

SteelSeries uses Personal Data only for purposes that are compatible with a users’ submission of Personal Data. As such, SteelSeries will use the Personal Data collected to provide rich, interactive Services and products to our customers, to facilitate communication with our users and give users a better experience when using the Website and our Services.

Situations where Personal Data is used:

• When your place an order: Name, Email, Address, Billing details
• When you register: Email, Username, Password
• When you communicate with our support teams: Name, Email, order ID
• When you log in to our Services

SteelSeries will only transfer Personal Data collected from users of the Website to our affiliates or third-parties for the following reasons: if necessary to process such data for us based on our instructions and compliance with the Privacy Policy, if a user has given their consent to such transfer, if a user has requested such transfer (for example in the form of a request to process an order), if required or permitted by law, or if required to protect legal or other vital interests.

Some of these third parties include, but are not limited to, the following partners:

• Brand3D LLC, for Aim Master
• Smile Inc., for SteelSquad Rewards Program
• iGames Inc., for Game Giveaways
• Segment

As set forth below, SteelSeries is not in the business of selling our users’ Personal Data to third parties. See Section 6 (California Privacy Rights) below for more information.

SteelSeries may from time to time share aggregated and de-identified data with our business partners. This aggregate and de-identified data is compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and we may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents, and business partners.

SteelSeries will only retain your Personal Data for as long as you have a profile within our digital ecosystem, unless the further retention of your Personal Data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, for compliance with a legal obligation which we are subject, or for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us.

3.3 Your rights concerning the processing of your Personal Data

You have a number of rights in relation to the Personal Data that we hold about you and you can exercise your rights by contacting us using the details set out below.

These rights include:

• Obtaining information regarding the processing of your Personal Data and access to the Personal Data which we hold about you. Please note that there may be circumstances in which we are entitled to refuse requests for access to copies of Personal Data, for the sake of another person’s right to privacy.
• Requesting that we correct your Personal Data if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Requesting that we erase your Personal Data in certain circumstances. Please note that there may be circumstances where you ask us to erase your Personal Data, but we are legally entitled to retain it. A user can actively delete Personal Data that is connected to his or her user profile by deleting this profile on the Website.
• Objecting to, and requesting that we restrict, our processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances. Again, there may be circumstances where you object to, or ask us to restrict, our processing of your Personal Data but we are legally entitled to refuse that request.
• In some circumstances, receiving some Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or requesting that we transmit that information to a third party where this is technically feasible. Please note that this right only applies to Personal Data which you have provided to us.
• Withdrawing your consent, although in certain circumstances it may be lawful for us to continue processing without your consent if we have another legitimate reason (other than consent) for doing so.
• Lodging a complaint with the Danish Data Protection Agency’s Website https://www.datatilsynet.dk/english, if you are a resident of the European Union and if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.

Users can also opt-out of having SteelSeries use their data to personalize the Services. SteelSeries users have access to download our GG Desktop Application, which provides direct access to our Services. In the settings menu of the GG Desktop Application, users may opt out of having SteelSeries use their data to personalize the Services. This does not stop our automatic collection of data when users access our Services, however it breaks the association to your SteelSeries account and thus makes the data collected completely anonymous. By turning off this feature you will lose access to personalized content within our Website and Services, alerts about new product announcements, and access to software betas and early access.

4. COOKIES AND OTHER FORMS OF DATA COLLECTION

4.1 Consent

SteelSeries uses cookies on the Website. Whenever you visit and interact with our Website, you accept that we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested.

SteelSeries also receives and stores the following information automatically when you interact with our Services:

• Interaction Data. We collect interaction data to help us improve our products and Services. This type of data is meant to inform us of how users are using our Services. It may include but not be limited to information about which screens within the user interface are being interacted with and which features are being used while the Services are running.
• Technical Data. We collect technical data about the Services and the supported devices (SteelSeries accessories and partner supported laptops or devices) you have connected to our software. For instance, information such as firmware and driver versions, the software application version number, your OS version, your country (but not your IP address, city, or state) and your application ID will be collected. The application ID is a random unique number that we generate on install. We can’t identify any user simply by this number: it simply lets us know that each installation is unique.
• Crash Reports and Error Logs. To help identify issues that our users may be experiencing, we will send details about application crashes, firmware or driver upgrade failures, and other error reports. Crash reports include data on why our application or device crashed and the state of device memory and execution during the crash.

With the use of the Website, cookies will be stored on the media that the user uses to browse the Website. These cookies are used to give the user of the Website a better experience when browsing the Website and to collect certain information on the user to facilitate analysis of the users of the Website.

4.4 Online advertising

We do not serve third party advertisements to you while using the Website. However, we do work with advertising partners to deliver SteelSeries advertisements on third party publisher Websites, and these partners may set cookies on your computer’s web browser. Cookies allow our partners to recognize your computer so that the ad server can show you SteelSeries advertisements elsewhere on the Internet.

5. SECURITY

We take precautions to protect your Personal Data. When you submit Personal Data via the Website, your Personal Data is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in your browser or for “https://” at the beginning of the address of the Website. Further, the servers in which we store Personal Data are kept in a secure environment.

Unfortunately, transmission of information over the internet is not completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data. If you have reason to believe that your Personal Data has been compromised or your use of the Website and/or Services is no longer secure, please contact us as stated in 7.
