What is GDPR?

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a new comprehensive data protection law that comes into effect on May 25, 2018. It will replace existing EU Data Protection law to strengthen the protection of personal data and the rights of the individual. It will be a single set of rules which govern the processing and monitoring of EU data.

We are working on automatic workflows to meet GDPR standards. In the mean time, regardless of whether you live in the EU, we will gladly respond to requests to delete your account data, or to provide all of the data which we have about your account.

How do I download my data?

The only personally identifiable data that we keep is the data that you directly provide. This includes profile data, screenshots and the games you've uploaded. If you would like a copy of this data, simply email support@simmer.io with the email address you used to register your account on SIMMER. We'll send you a copy of all the data that we have about your account within two business days.

How do I delete my account and all data associated with my account?

Simply email support@simmer.io with the email address you used to register your account on SIMMER. We will send you a reply asking you to confirm. Once you confirm we'll completely delete all data associated with your account.
