7.International Transfer of Personal Information

To provide the Service, the Operator transfers personal information outside the Republic of Korea as follows.

Timing and method of transfer: the information is transmitted over the network whenever the relevant feature is used. How to refuse: if you do not sign in with Google, the information needed for sign-in, cloud save, rankings, and sending chat messages is not transferred, but these features will be unavailable. If you do not send chat messages or link Discord, the relevant information is not transferred to Discord Inc., and achievement information is transferred only when you use the Steam version. The processing of advertising information can be limited using the methods described in Section 8.

Personal information of users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom is transferred on the basis of the adequacy decisions for the Republic of Korea and safeguards recognized under applicable law, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by processors and recipients.

8.Advertising Identifiers and Personalized Ads

The Service does not use cookies. Google AdMob, included in the Android app, may show personalized ads using the advertising identifier and information on ad views and clicks within the app. In regions where consent is required, such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, users are asked to make a choice through Google’s consent message when they first launch the app.

• You can reset or delete your advertising ID or turn off personalized ads in your device settings (on Android: Settings > Google > Ads, etc.; this may vary by device).
• In regions where consent is required, such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, you can change your consent choice at any time in Settings > Ad Consent.
• If you purchase the “Remove Ads” product, interstitial ads are no longer shown (rewarded ads that users choose to watch remain available).

9.Rights of Users and Legal Guardians and How to Exercise Them

Users (or, for those under the age of 14, their legal guardians) may at any time request access to, correction or deletion of, or suspension of processing of their personal information, and may withdraw their consent. If you send a request to myownroguelikerpg@gmail.com, we will verify your identity, take action within the period prescribed by applicable laws (10 days under Korean law), and notify you of the result. You can do the following directly in the game:

• Change your nickname: Settings > Nickname

When an account is deleted, the Paid Currency and items held are also lost, and this cannot be undone. If you have used the Service without signing in, there is no account information on the server, and deleting the app also erases the data on the device.

11.Procedures and Methods for Destroying Personal Information

Personal information whose retention period has ended or whose processing purpose has been achieved is destroyed without delay. Information in electronic file form is permanently deleted using methods that make recovery impossible, and information that must be retained under applicable laws is stored separately and destroyed once the retention period has expired.

12.Measures to Keep Personal Information Secure

• Administrative measures: access to personal information is limited to the Operator, and administrative tools can be accessed only after authentication.

• Physical measures: data is stored in Google’s cloud data centers.
