the establishment, exercise, or defence of our rights.
RIGHT TO OBJECT
You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation,
if we use your personal data. We will then stop processing your personal data
unless there are overriding legitimate grounds for continuing to process your

we will inform you of the reasons for our refusal.

rights of third parties. If we are unable to comply with your request, we will
inform you of the reasons for our refusal.
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT

your death. For example, you can request that we retain, delete, or transfer

If you wish to exercise your rights, you may contact our DPO to the following address:
dpo@homagames.com
To be able to process your request efficiently, we may ask you additional information to confirm your
identity and/or to ease retrieval of personal data concerned by your request.

In these cases, we implement appropriate transfer mechanism and safeguards to ensure that the

In practice, the transfer is at least based on one of the following mechanisms:

which your personal data is transferred; or, failing that
the conclusion of standard contractual clauses as adopted by the European Commission; or,
failing that the existence of an exemption linked to one of the specific situations exhaustively
provided for by the General Data Protection Regulation n°2016/679 ("GDPR"). For example,
where you have explicitly given your consent to the proposed transfer after having been
informed of the absence of safeguards, where the transfer is necessary for the performance
of a contract between you and us, where the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or
performance of a contract concluded, in your interest, between us and a third party, or where
the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of our legal claims, etc.
