Privacy Policy
The protection of personal data is important to us. First of all, because we do not and will not do business based on users' personal data. We're not interested. As players for players, we're interested in deepening our understanding of games through the study of tactics and strategies. So, what might be important to us are the anonymous matches. But never the players and their data.
The following of this Privacy Policy clarify which data are processed when you play a game on Meeplewise.com, what are the purposes, and what your rights are under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Important note: Meeplewise is a privately operated and at the moment this is a non-commercial hobby project. Users have no contractual rights to availability or functionality of the service. In fact Meeplewise is currently in the rollout phase, so we cannot guarantee service levels or operational continuity.
