Automated decisions 

We do not introduce automated decision-making. 

If you are a data subject, you have the following rights: 

request information about the processing of your personal data 

obtain access to the personal data held about you 

Under Article 15 of the GDPR, you have a right of access that gives you the right to obtain a copy of your personal data, as well as other supplementary information. It helps to understand how and why companies are using the data, and check the lawfulness of the processing. 

ask for incorrect, inaccurate, or incomplete personal data to be corrected 

Under Article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified. You may also be able to have incomplete personal data completed – although this will depend on the purposes for the processing. 

request that personal data be erased when they are no longer needed or if processing is unlawful 

Under Article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the 'right to be forgotten'. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances. 

request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in specific cases 

Article 18 of the GDPR gives you the right to restrict the processing of their personal data in certain circumstances. This means that you can limit the way that an organization uses your data. This is an alternative to requesting the erasure of their data. 

receive your personal data in a machine-readable format and send them to another controller ('data portability') 

Under Article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to data portability that gives you the right to receive personal data they have provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. It also gives you the right to request that a controller transmits those data directly to another controller. 

object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes or on grounds relating to your particular situation 

Article 21 of the GDPR gives you the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. This effectively allows individuals to stop or prevent you from processing their personal data. 

request that decisions based on automated processing concerning you or significantly affecting you and based on your personal data are made by natural persons, not only by computers. You also have the right in this case to express your point of view and to challenge the decision 

withdraw your consent at any time 

lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority 

In accordance with Article 77 of the GDPR, you, as a data subject, have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or where an alleged infringement of the GDPR has taken place. If you have any questions about the protection of your personal data, you can contact us by using our email: dpo@mashabear.com. 

Children’s data 

Collection of children’s personal data is possible after creating a child’s profile in the parent account. Through this mode, children can view content, play games, participate in contests, and engage in special features. We may process such data categories as: 

• Parent ID 
• Child ID 
• Child’s name 
• Child’s second name 
• Child’s surname 
• Child’s nickname 
• Child’s birth date 
• Child’s gender 
• Date of registration 
• Date of last login 
• Device 
• Country 
• Language 

The specific purposes and legal bases for processing this data, as well as the retention period, are detailed in the section titled “What data, for what purposes, on what basis, and for how long do we process?”. 

If a child uses our website without registering, we may process all the categories listed as outlined in the section mentioned above (parental consent is requested). 

In any case, we do not enable children to make their personal data publicly available. 

Parents' Control 

Parental consent is required prior to data processing. In accordance with the requirements of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, on any child-targeted site or application, or in any instance where we ask for age and determine the user is age 12 or under, we will request a parent or guardian's email address prior to the collection of any personal data from the child. If you believe your child is engaging in an activity that involves the gathering of personal data and you, as a parent or another legal guardian, have not received an email seeking your consent or providing notification, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at dpo@mashabear.com. 

Parents have the right to review, request the deletion of, or withhold consent for the further collection or use of their child's personal dat. To initiate any of these actions, a parent may submit a request via email to: dpo@mashabear.com.
