Uses made of the information

Information you give us — to create and secure your account, deliver donator packs, answer support, send service notices, and improve Syndicate Wars.

Information we collect about you — to administer the site, fight multi-accounting and RMT, keep the game fair, measure performance, and protect Parish Brothers Ltd and other players.

Information from other sources — payment processor confirmations and fraud signals may be combined with your account data for the same purposes.

Disclosure of your information

We may share personal data with:

• Members of our corporate group where needed to operate the service (UK Companies Act 2006, s.1159).
• Payment processors (e.g. Stripe, PayPal) to take payment.
• Hosting / email providers under contract.
• Law enforcement or regulators when required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Parish Brothers Ltd, our players, or others.

We do not sell your personal data.

Where we store your personal data

Data may be processed in the UK / EEA and, where providers operate elsewhere, outside the EEA with appropriate safeguards. Payment pages use SSL/TLS. Transmission over the internet is never perfectly secure; keep your password and 2FA private.

Your rights

You may ask us to stop marketing messages (we mainly send service mail). To exercise UK data rights, email payments@syndicatewars.co.uk. Third-party sites linked from Syndicate Wars have their own policies.

Access to information

Under UK data protection law you may request access to personal data we hold. We may need to verify identity. Some requests may attract a reasonable fee where the law allows.

Changes to this privacy policy

Updates will be posted on this page. Material changes may also be notified in-game or by email.

UK GDPR / data protection

Parish Brothers Ltd processes account and gameplay data as controller for performing the contract (running Syndicate Wars), legitimate interests (security, anti-cheat, analytics of an anonymised or aggregate nature where possible), and legal obligations (tax, fraud). We retain account data while the account is active and for a limited period afterwards for security, disputes, and legal retention. You may request erasure subject to those needs.
