We do not disclose personal information except as necessary to operate our business, provide our services, comply with legal requirements, or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
We may share information with categories of service providers such as:

- Analytics providers;
- Customer support providers;
- Security and fraud-prevention providers;

These third parties may process information on our behalf or, in some circumstances, as independent controllers under their own privacy policies.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests from public authorities, establish or defend legal claims, protect our rights or users, investigate fraud or security incidents, or protect the safety of individuals.
If our business, assets, or services are involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
8. International Data Transfers
Because we provide online services and may use service providers located in different countries, personal information may be processed or stored outside your country of residence.
Where UK or European data protection law applies and personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate measures designed to ensure that the information receives an adequate level of protection.
Depending on the destination and circumstances, these safeguards may include applicable adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our services and satisfying legal, accounting, tax, security, and reporting requirements.
The applicable retention period may depend on factors such as:
- The type of information;
- The purpose for which it was collected;
- How long you maintain an account with us;
- Whether continued retention is necessary to provide purchased services;
- Legal and regulatory requirements;
- Applicable limitation periods; and
- The need to prevent fraud or resolve disputes.
When information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymize, or otherwise securely dispose of it where appropriate.
10. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction.
However, no Internet transmission, website, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should notify us if you believe your account has been compromised.
11. Your UK and European Privacy Rights
If UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies to you, depending on the circumstances you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Request deletion of your personal information;
- Request restriction of processing;
- Object to certain processing, including direct marketing;
- Request portability of certain personal information;
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
- Raise a complaint with an applicable data protection supervisory authority.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Certain rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions, and we may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in the country where you live or work.
Because MARYKO LTD is established in the United Kingdom, you may also contact the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) regarding data protection concerns.
12. United States Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.
Depending on your state of residence, applicable law, and whether the relevant law applies to MARYKO LTD, these rights may include the right to:

California Residents
If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”), applies to our processing of your personal information, California residents may have additional rights regarding their personal information.
These may include rights to know, access, correct, or delete certain personal information and rights relating to the sale or sharing of personal information and the use of sensitive personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.
MARYKO LTD does not consider ordinary disclosure of information to service providers that process information on our behalf to constitute a “sale” of personal information. If we engage in activities that constitute a “sale” or “sharing” under California law, we will provide any notices and opt-out mechanisms required by applicable law.
13. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” settings or other privacy preference mechanisms.
Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we will process such signals as required by applicable law.
14. Children’s Privacy
Our Website and courses are intended for students, aspiring developers, and other game-development enthusiasts and are not directed to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization where required by law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in violation of applicable law, please contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Additional age-related requirements may apply depending on the user’s country of residence and the services being used.
15. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, software, platforms, resources, or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party services that we do not control. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third parties before providing them with personal information.
16. Automated Decision-Making
Unless otherwise disclosed, we do not use personal information to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning users.
If this changes, we will provide the disclosures and protections required by applicable law.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our services, business practices, technologies, or applicable legal requirements.
When we update this Privacy Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of the policy.
Where required by law, we may provide additional notice or request consent before material changes take effect.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
