This privacy policy was last updated June 5th, 2008.
Hasbro (which means SA Hasbro NV and its associated companies, including Wizards of the Coast) are committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal information in accordance with the Data Protection laws applicable in Europe. This privacy policy explains how your personal information will be handled by us. By using this website and submitting your information to us you agree to us using your personal information in accordance with this policy.
S.A. Hasbro, Rond-Point Schuman, 6 – 5ième étage, 1040 Bruxelles / Hasbro NV, Schumanplein, 6 – 5de verdieping, 1040 Brussel, is registered on the public register of the data controllers maintained by the Information Commissioner (www.privacycommission.be).
We primarily request your country and date of birth on the first page to verify whether you need parental permission before fully registering to on this site to be on our mailing list. If you do not need permission or when we obtain parental consent, on full registration, we ask you for your name, address, e-mail, telephone and preferred language. In the countries where such a promotion is being run, we also ask you for name and email address of the person who recommended you to the website. This may be filled in if you have been recommended to the website by someone else and that person has given you permission to let us know their name and email address. We use that person’s details to verify it against our records and to send them their free gift upon your registration due to their recommendation (if such a promotion is being run). The information collected about you at registration enables us to provide a more personalised experience and to contact you with regular information on Dungeons & Dragons products and event either by email, telephone or regular post. Certain information is collected automatically as described later in this privacy policy.
Your information will be submitted over a secure server.
It is compulsory to submit your name, email address and preferred language and to check the tick box granting us permission to contact you as the purpose of registration on this website is to receive updates from us on the Dungeons & Dragons brand. If you do not want to be informed about Dungeons & Dragons in this way, do not register on this site with your information or cancel your registration by unsubscribing using the link provided in each of our e-mail communications.
We use the information we collect about you to answer your enquiries, to provide a more personalised experience and to update you on Dungeons & Dragons products and events.
We may run surveys or competitions which you can choose to participate in. In this context we may also use your information to verify your identity and contact you (for example, in the event you are a competition winner).
With your consent we may use the information to keep you updated about changes to this website, new Dungeons & Dragons services and offers in conjunction with our affiliated companies that we think you'll find valuable.
The age for being deemed a minor varies from country to country and we have taken this into account on the initial registration page of this site. If you are deemed a minor in your country, then we are required to obtain verifiable parental or guardian consent before we can collect and use any of a minor’s personal information. Therefore we ask that a form is downloaded and signed by a parent or guardian after pointing them to review this privacy policy so that they are informed of what we collect and do with their child’s personal information.
Note to Parents
Please read the whole of this privacy policy. The notes below are just things we are drawing your attention to.
The information we collect and what we do with it is as we have described above. We share such information with local stores if you have agreed to this on the form that you sign.
When you sign and send the form back to us, the information is manually inputted onto our database by one of our various local companies that we instruct you to send the form back to. Therefore, please note that there is a transfer of your data within the EU.
Your child’s information may also be shared with outside entities hired to assist us with internal web support operations. These entities will not use the child’s information for any other purpose, and have agreed to maintain confidentiality, security and integrity of all personal information they obtain from us
