You have the right to access your information and you may request to have it deleted (GDPR Art. 15 and 17). If you wish to do either, please visit https://ioi.dk/legal/privacy to delete or access any game- and IOI Account-related information or contact us at [email protected] for any other access or deletion enquiry.

If the processing of your personal information is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Your withdrawal will not affect the processing carried out before you withdrew your consent.

Please be aware that all your information will be deleted and you will be forced to play in offline mode until you accept this privacy policy (GDPR Art. 21).
Unless otherwise stated in the above, you can take steps to exercise these rights by contacting us at [email protected].
- INFORMATION RETENTION AND DELETION
Retention. Unless otherwise specified in this policy, we store your information only for as long as needed, in order to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or until you request to have your information deleted – whichever comes first. This is a case-by-case determination that depends on things like the nature of the information, why it is collected and relevant legal or operational retention needs.
Game Information Deletion. When you request to have your information deleted, we delete everything associated with you, including your online progress in any of our games. Please note that your information will be deleted in its entirety and that it will not be possible for us to distinguish between information collected by our games. Consequently, it is not possible to request information deleted from one game while retaining information from another. We will not be able to restore any deleted information. The user-generated content that you have created may not be deleted, but you will not be associated with that content any more.
- MANDATORY INFORMATION
The information we collect when you connect and play our games is mandatory if you want to play our games in online mode. Please note that you can choose to opt out of our collection of information by updating your privacy settings in our menus or by requesting to have your information deleted. The consequence of not providing the information is that you will be forced to play our games in offline mode. If you reject this privacy policy or request to have your information deleted and then, at a later stage, want to enable online mode, please click the ‘go online’ button and accept this privacy policy.
