Right to Erasure – Grinding Gear Games will delete your personal data when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which you provided it.

Your TLDR didnt really help much just legalistic terms. Whats this really mean?
I just clicked like most people. I always assume I'm giving up total privacy and all rights on someone else platform like living with your parents. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep on May 25, 2018, 1:16:37 AM

" Err...try reading below? It's not that long... | |
" Can I request them to stop messing with my data altogether though? | |
" Have you even read the thing you quoted? See "Right to Erasure" and "Right to Restrict/Object to Processing". |

" GGG needs a bunch of information from you to make the game and the forums work properly - such as your account name, e-mail, the computer you're logging in from, or which MTX you have bought. If you want all of this to work tomorrow, GGG needs to store this information on their computers. If you for some reason really don't want them to do that, you can ask GGG to stop storing this data - but don't be surprised if stuff breaks as a result.

" They wouldn't be able to provide you any service whatsoever then. They need to collect data for you to play the game, browse the site or make mtx purchases. Based on the above, if you decide to leave PoE someday, you should be able to request them to delete whatever data on you they have. Last edited by Exile009 on May 25, 2018, 5:50:55 AM

outside my email do they take data from steam? I have all my info there but since i use steam wallet (i don't pay GGG directly) they shouldn't have my personal info right?

" GGG can not access any info from Steam that is not publicly available. I believe that if you pay through Steam wallet, GGG does not even have access to your credit card information. |
|
" Actually GGG has no data regards cards, bank accounts etc. to Exile009: +1, thx for that |
