It is Social Diving's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. This Privacy Policy applies to https://divingescapegame.com, https://www.social-diving.com, as well as our connected sites and services (hereinafter, "us", "we", or "https://www.divingescapegame.com"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us through the Website. We have adopted this privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") to explain what information may be collected on our Website, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

We are a Data Controller of your information.

Social Diving's legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Information we collect and the specific context in which we collect the information:

• Social Diving needs to perform a contract with you
• You have given Social Diving permission to do so
• Processing your personal information is in Social Diving legitimate interests
• Social Diving needs to comply with the law

Social Diving will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. If you wish to be informed what Personal Information we hold about you and if you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact us.

What rights you have over your data

In certain circumstances, you have the following data protection rights:

• The right to access, update or to delete the information we have on you.
• The right of rectification.
• The right to object.
• The right of restriction.
• The right to data portability
• The right to withdraw consent

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Visitors' data might be sent to payment providers such as PayPal and Stripe to process orders.

In order to process registration and certification for diving courses, your data will be sent to the certifying agencies, namely international aquanautic club, CMAS Germany and any others we work together with. Your data will not be used for any other purpose than to process the certification and is subject to the terms and conditions set by the certifying agency.

Scuba diving involves activities and exercise in open water, as well as pools, indoor dive centers, and alike. This is specified in our terms of service for diving activities. In such cases where data collection is necessary to visit a venue, we use the data provided by the attendee in order to make reservations and carry out the diving activity.

Who we share your data with

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Social Diving collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Social Diving's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Social Diving's visitors use its website. From time to time, Social Diving may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Log Files

social-diving.com follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. All hosting companies do this and a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

Social Diving also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on https://www.social-diving.com blog posts. Social Diving only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Social Diving's websites choose to interact with Social Diving in ways that require Social Diving to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Social Diving gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a blog at https://www.divingescapegame.com to provide a username and email address.

Security

Social Diving and its partners constantly work towards protecting your privacy and data from unauthorized third parties. We use a number of different providers to make sure our sites run smoothly and securely. This includes password protection, media encryption, and secure communication among website specific safety tools

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have suggestions on how we can improve on these measures, do not hesitate to contact us.
