3. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes, each of which serves a legitimate operational or legal need:

• Platform delivery: To create and maintain your account, authenticate your identity, and deliver the core arcade entertainment experience.
• Age verification: To confirm that all users meet the minimum age requirement of 19 years as required for our Canadian adult entertainment platform.
• Communication: To respond to your contact inquiries, send service-related notifications, and provide support assistance.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. We do not use your data for any form of targeted advertising without your explicit, separate consent.

4. Legal Basis & Consent

Under PIPEDA, the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information requires your knowledge and consent, except where otherwise permitted or required by law. We rely on the following bases for processing your personal information:

• Consent: For non-essential cookies, marketing communications, and preference-based personalization. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us at privacy@happyjokergaming.com.
• Contractual necessity: For account creation, authentication, and delivery of the platform services you have requested.
• Legitimate interests: For platform security, fraud prevention, technical analytics, and service improvement — provided these interests are not outweighed by your privacy rights.
• Legal obligation: Where processing is required to comply with applicable Canadian federal or provincial law.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to the withdrawal. Please note that withdrawing consent for certain types of processing may impair your ability to use some features of the platform.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We engage trusted third-party companies to assist with hosting, analytics, email delivery, and security monitoring. These providers are contractually required to use your information solely for the purposes we direct and to maintain appropriate safeguards.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose personal information if required by law, court order, regulatory authority, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our legal rights, prevent fraud, or protect the safety of any person.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this Policy.
• With your consent: We may share your information with third parties not described above if you have given us your explicit, informed consent to do so.

All third-party service providers we engage are required to maintain confidentiality and comply with applicable Canadian privacy legislation. We do not transfer your personal information outside of Canada without ensuring equivalent levels of protection are in place.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Our general retention principles are:

• Account data: Retained for the duration of your active account plus 24 months following account closure, unless a longer period is required for legal compliance.
• Contact & support records: Retained for 36 months following the resolution of your inquiry, to allow for follow-up and quality review.
• Usage and analytics data: Aggregated and anonymized after 13 months; raw session logs are deleted within 90 days.
• Server log files: Retained for no more than 60 days for security and technical diagnostics.
• Cookie & consent records: Retained for 24 months to document your preferences and consent history.

When personal information is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with our internal data disposal procedures. You may request early deletion of your personal information by contacting our Privacy Officer.

7. Security Measures

We implement technical and organizational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information we hold. Our security practices include:

• Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected using TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption.
• Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored in our systems is encrypted using industry-standard algorithms.
• Access controls: Personal information is accessible only to authorized personnel who require access to perform their job functions. We use role-based access control and enforce least-privilege principles.
• Security monitoring: We conduct regular security assessments, vulnerability scans, and monitor our systems for unauthorized access or anomalous activity.
• Staff training: All team members with access to personal data receive regular privacy and security training.
• Incident response: We maintain a documented data breach response plan. In the event of a breach that poses a real risk of significant harm, we will notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and affected individuals as required by PIPEDA.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
