rev 17.121020

 

A top priority for Rival is the protection and privacy of any personal data that Rival receives and or collects from its community members.  We know that our community members, clients, and partners all care deeply about privacy and data security.

 

Rival values the trust that you have shown in us by being a member of our partner’s communities.  Maintaining that trust is an ongoing commitment. Rival will continue to inform you of the privacy and data security policies, practices, and technologies we have put in place to protect your Rival account information.   Rival is intentional in its decision to collect only the required personal information from its communities.      

 

 

Policies And Procedures

  • Rival will send you emails and in-app notifications relating to Rival’s tournaments, events, offers, leagues, rewards, prizing, points, and more.  Rival’s preferred communication channels are email and in-app messaging. This allows for efficient and intentionally non-intrusive communications between Rival and its community members.  
  • You have the right to unsubscribe at any time from Rival’s email communications.  This may be accomplished via an email to unsubscribe@rivalgames.com or if applicable on your Rival account webpage.
  • Certain Rival communities may also allow you to opt-in for text message notifications for specific purposes, such as “Your tournament is starting in 15 minutes” or to verify your identity for the processing of any prizes you have won.
  • You have the right to unsubscribe at any time from Rival’s business associate’s email communications.  This may be accomplished via an email to unsubscribe@rivalgames.com or if applicable on your Rival account page.
  • You have the right to deactivate your Rival account at any time.  This may be accomplished by sending an email to support@rivalgames.com or on your Rival account webpage.   
  • You have the right to request Rival deletes your personal information and data, please email the complete Rival Erasure Form to erasurerequest@rivalgames.com
  • Rival will never send you an email requesting your Rival account username, password, or any other Rival account information.
  • Rival requires all clients to create a unique alphanumeric password to log on to the platform. Your Rival password is immediately encrypted, and Rival employees do not have access to your password.  There is no way to recover it if forgotten.  The only option is to change it following the “lost password” process.
  • Access to protected client information is limited to the “Least Privilege Access” security approach and access is secured.
  • Rival allows you to link your Rival account with your account with other third-party companies such as Microsoft and Twitch.  Rival should never be given, nor does the Rival platform have or require access to your password(s) for any third-party account.
