Facebook Authentication and Data Exclusion Policy
Introduction
Our application utilizes Facebook Authentication to offer a secure and convenient login experience. During this process, we collect specific information from your Facebook account with your explicit consent. This policy details how we manage your data, your rights regarding that data, and the procedures for requesting data exclusion. We are dedicated to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws and Facebook’s developer policies.
Data Collection
When you authenticate using Facebook, we collect only the following information, depending on the permissions you grant:
- Your Facebook ID
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your profile picture
We collect only the data necessary for authentication and to improve your experience with our services.
Data Usage
The data obtained through Facebook Authentication is used for the following purposes:
- Authenticating your identity to provide secure access to our application.
- Personalizing your experience and enhancing our services.
- Meeting legal and regulatory obligations.
We do not share your data with third parties except as required to operate our services or comply with legal requirements.
User Rights
You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data collected via Facebook Authentication. This right aligns with data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Facebook’s developer policies, which emphasize user control over data.
How to Request Data Deletion
To request the exclusion of your data from our systems, we recommend the following method:
- Primary Method: Contact our support team through official Arena contact channels. Clearly state your request to have your data deleted. Our team will verify your identity and process the request promptly.
- Alternative Method: You may remove our app from your Facebook account settings by navigating to “Apps and Websites,” locating our app, and clicking “Remove.” This action is intended to trigger a data deletion request via a Data Deletion Request Callback. However, this method may not guarantee immediate data deletion from our systems. For the most reliable and prompt data deletion, we strongly recommend using the official Arena contact channels. For guidance on removing apps, refer to Facebook’s Help Center.
Process for Handling Data Deletion Requests
Upon receiving a data deletion request through official Arena contact channels (or via the Facebook callback, if applicable), we will:
- Verify your identity to ensure the request is legitimate.
- Delete all personal data associated with your account from our systems.
- Comply with Facebook’s developer policies, such as responding to the Data Deletion Request Callback, to ensure data shared with Facebook is handled appropriately.
While we aim to delete your data promptly, certain legal or technical requirements may necessitate retaining some data for a limited period. You will be informed if such circumstances apply.
Compliance
We are committed to adhering to all relevant data protection laws, including GDPR, and Facebook’s developer policies. These policies require us to provide mechanisms for users to delete their data, such as the Data Deletion Request Callback URL, as outlined in Meta’s Developer Documentation. Our practices ensure responsible data handling and respect for your privacy.
Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. Upon receiving a deletion request, we will remove your data promptly, subject to any legal obligations that may require temporary retention of certain information.
International Data Transfers
Our application may transfer data to countries outside your country of residence. By using our services, you consent to such transfers. We implement adequate safeguards to protect your data during international transfers, in compliance with data protection regulations.
Security
We employ robust technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.
