1. About This Page
This page explains your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Even though frostrivergame.com is based in Australia, we respect and uphold GDPR rights for all users, regardless of location.
We believe everyone deserves control over their personal data.

We are responsible for deciding how and why your personal data is processed.
3. Your GDPR Rights in Detail
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
3.1 Right of Access (Article 15)
You have the right to request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. This includes:
- What data we have collected.
- Why we process it.

- How long we keep it.
- Where the data came from.
We will provide this information free of charge within 30 days of your request.

You have the right to ask us to correct any personal data that is wrong or incomplete. This includes:
- Fixing errors in your name, email, or phone number.
- Updating outdated information.
- Adding missing details to incomplete records.
We will make corrections without unnecessary delay.
3.3 Right to Deletion (Article 17)
Also known as the "right to be forgotten." You can ask us to delete your personal data when:

- You withdraw your consent.
- You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds.
- The data was processed unlawfully.
- Deletion is required by law.
We may need to keep certain data for legal compliance. We will explain this if it applies to your request.
3.4 Right to Restriction (Article 18)
You can ask us to limit how we use your data. This applies when:
- You dispute the accuracy of your data (while we verify it).
- Processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction over deletion.
- We no longer need the data but you need it for legal claims.
- You have objected to processing (while we consider your objection).
While restricted, we will only store your data and not process it further without your consent.
3.5 Right to Data Portability (Article 20)
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You can also ask us to transfer your data directly to another service provider where technically possible.

- We use data for direct marketing purposes.
- We process data for research or statistical purposes.
If you object to direct marketing, we will stop processing your data for that purpose immediately.
3.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
