If you have any questions about Lanetalk's processing of your personal data, please contact us at support@lanetalk.com
In Lanetalk's Application, you can track your score in real time, save your results and thus monitor your own development, as well as follow other users and access their results. Lanetalk’s Application also gives you the opportunity to follow results from connected bowling venues all over the world. To provide these services, we need to collect certain personal data about you.
What personal data we collect about you depends on what services you use and what data you choose to share with us. We may collect and use the following types of personal data about you for the purposes listed below. For more information on the personal data we process and why we use it, please read more below.
3.1.1 Account, profile and use information
When you register an account, we may process the following personal data:
· Your name, age, gender, city and license number (with your bowling club).
· Your email address. This is necessary for you to be able to retain and administer your account, and for us to be able to contact you if necessary (e.g. reset your password). Your licence number is used to enable us to verify that you are who you are, such as for competition results.
· you register or log in to the Lanetalk Application via Facebook we will collect information that you have agreed to make available such as your name, email address, date of birth and current city. This information is collected by Facebook and subsequently provided to Lanetalk under their privacy policies.
If you choose to log your results or synchronise your account with your game in real time (live scoring), we will collect data related to:
Your name, results, the line you play in and who you play with.
Purpose and legal basis: The above processing is carried out in order for us to provide the agreed service to you, so that you can get the most benefit from the service, such as being able to compare yourself with other players of the same gender, in the same city, etc. and administer your account on the legal basis to perform our obligations under the agreement entered into with you when you registered and when you use the Application.
Retention period: This data is saved for as long as you have a registered account. If you have not logged in to your account for a consecutive period of 24 months, your agreement will automatically expire and your account will be deregistered. You will be informed before your account is deregistered. Your data may be saved in anonymised form after your account is closed. Lanetalk may also retain your personal data for a longer period, if it is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation that requires processing in accordance with applicable law, or for Lanetalk to be able to establish, assert or defend legal claims.
3.1.2 Live scoring
On Lanetalk's Website and in the Application you can follow results from connected bowling venues all over the world through live scoring (“Live scoring”). The information is retrieved from connected bowling venues in real time. To provide live scoring we publish the following data:
· Your results and hashed name will be displayed in the Live Scoring if you choose to log your results or synchronize your account with your game in real time. The names shown on the Website and Application are the names given by the players in the bowling venue where they are playing and will be displayed in a hashed format unless you have agreed that your full player name may be publicly displayed on the Website
· Your full name and result may be published online and shared with Lanetalk’s partners (e.g. sponsors) if you have chosen to participate in any the bowling competitions arranged by Lanetalk, in order to the competition to take place.
Purpose and legal basis: As a general rule, hashed names do not constitute personal data, as the names displayed in Live Scoring cannot specifically identify a particular person. If a player has entered data that makes it possible to identify a natural person, e.g. by means of a unique name or a name in combination with a bowling club, the data constitutes personal data. In such cases, Lanetalk processes this personal data for the purpose of showing results, both historically and in real time, from different bowling alleys to visitors to the Website.
The legal basis for the processing is based on a balance of interests, where our legitimate interest is that this is necessary in order to be able to provide the results to our visitors.
Retention period: The personal data is processed for the above purpose for a period of one month from the date of the game.
3.1.3 Data relating to competitions arranged by Lanetalk
In Lanetalk's Application, you may also be given the opportunity to participate in specific competitions arranged by Lanetalk and/or our partners under separate terms and conditions. If you choose to participate in any of the special competitions arranged by Lanetalk, we may collect the following personal data:
· your name, email address, results, geographical location (based on participating bowling venue) to administer your participation in the competition.
· Your account number is used to enable us to pay out any winnings that are paid out if you, as a player, have reached a certain position in the competition
Purpose and legal basis: The above processing is carried out in order for us to provide the agreed service and for the performance of the agreement we have with you, i.e. in order to enable your participation in any of the specific Lanetalk's competitions that you have signed up for.
Retention period: This data is saved for as long as you have a registered account. If you have not logged in to your account for a consecutive period of 24 months, your agreement will automatically expire and your account will be deregistered. You will be informed before your account is deregistered. Your data may be saved in anonymized form after your account is closed. Lanetalk may also retain your personal data for a longer period, if it is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation that requires processing in accordance with applicable law, or for Lanetalk to be able to establish, assert or defend legal claims.

· any errors that have occurred, etc.), and
· information about the type of device you are using.
Purpose and legal basis: The processing of the above data is used to develop and improve Lanetalk’s services and is based on a balancing of interests, where our legitimate interests are to be able to: obtain information about how the Application is used and works from a user perspective, provide, develop and improve the Application, create statistics for internal and external use, determine the effectiveness of our communication; increase security, and prevent fraud and misuse of the Application.
