Bad Dragon is based in the State of Arizona in the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the Website, you expressly consent to such transfer, storage, and processing of your information.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:

• Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending us an email at [email protected]. You can also call us or mail us using the information found in Contact Information below.
• Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including providing the Website's features and services to you.
• Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests, and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
  • Send users information about special offers and discounts on our products and services;
  • Develop and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our users;
  • Analyze how our Services are used so we can improve them to engage and retain users;
  • Support our marketing activities;
  • Diagnose problems and/or prevent fraudulent activities; or
  • Understand how our users use our products and services so we can improve user experience.
• Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with law enforcement or governmental agencies, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
• Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending us an email at [email protected]. You can also call us or mail us using the information found in Contact Information below.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:

• If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way;
• For investigations and fraud detection and prevention;
• For business transactions provided certain conditions are met;
• If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim;
• For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin;
• If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be victim of financial abuse;
• If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or the accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for purposes related to investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of the laws of Canada or a province;
• If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records;
• If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced;
• If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes; or
• If the information is publicly available and is specified by the regulations.

Although we implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure, the safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password to access certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Website.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. As such, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

We may update this privacy policy at any time, in our sole discretion. It is our policy to post any changes we make to this privacy policy on this page. All changes are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Website thereafter.
