Club Penguin Legacy's privacy policy describes how Club Penguin Legacy collects, uses, and shares your personal data.

Our privacy policy is designed to provide transparency in our privacy practices and principles. Privacy is a fundamental human right, we are dedicated to treating your personal information with care and respect. 

This privacy policy defines how information submitted or collected on the sites where this policy is placed is treated. It also describes how we treat information submitted or collected on apps we make available on third-party sites or platforms, if disclosed to you in conjunction with the application's use. We adhere to this privacy policy in compliance with local legislation in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices, accessible via headings below and contact us if you have any questions.

What is Personal Data?

Club Penguin Legacy strongly believes in fundamental privacy rights – and that those fundamental rights should not change based on where you live in the globe. That is why, regardless of where the individual lives, we classify any data that refers to an identified or identifiable individual or is linked or linkable to them as "personal data." This implies that data that directly identifies you, such as your name, is personal data, as is data that does not directly identify you but may reasonably be used to identify you, such as your device's serial number. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, aggregated data is considered non personal data.

Your Privacy Rights

Club Penguin Legacy respects your right to know, access, update, transfer, limit processing, and delete your personal data. We have granted these rights to our worldwide customer base, and if you choose to exercise these privacy rights, you have the right not to be treated unfairly or to get less service from Club Penguin Legacy. Club Penguin Legacy does not and will never sell your data to third parties in the sense that the term "selling" is defined in California, where Club Penguin Legacy operates.

We may be unable to fulfill your request in some circumstances, for as if you ask us to remove your profile data and Club Penguin Legacy is required by law to maintain a record of that transaction. We may also refuse to accept a request if doing so would jeopardize our legitimate use of data for anti-fraud and security purposes, such as when you seek the deletion of an account that is under investigation for security concerns. Other reasons your request for privacy may be refused include: jeopardizing the privacy of others, being frivolous or vexatious, or being exceedingly impracticable. Club Penguin Legacy works with local and global law enforcement organizations agencies to keep internet users secure. All data saved is in accordance with local legislation and guidelines.

Children, Personal Data, and Children’s Privacy

Club Penguin Legacy recognizes the significance of protecting children's personal data, which we define as anybody under the age of 13 or the equivalent age determined by legislation in your country. As a result, Club Penguin Legacy has introduced extra processes and safeguards to help keep children's sensitive information safe.

To access certain Club Penguin Legacy services, a child must have their account created by the parent or authorized guardian. We do not knowingly collect information from minors under the age of 13 to comply with Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506.

Club Penguin Legacy acknowledges the need to provide additional privacy safeguards for personal information collected from minors on our websites and services. Some of our sites and applications have age-gated features that prevent minors from using them, and we do not intentionally collect personal information from children in connection with those features. When we want to gather personal information from minors, we take extra precautions to protect their privacy, such as:

Notifying parents of our information practices with regard to children, including the sorts of personal information we may collect from children, the uses to which that information may be put, and if and with whom such information may be shared.

Obtaining parental consent for the collecting of personal information from their children, or for providing information about our products and services directly to their children, in line with current legislation.

• Limiting personal information about children is reasonably necessary for them to engage in an online activity.

• Giving parents access to, or the capacity to seek access to, personal information acquired from their children, as well as the right to request that the personal information be amended or deleted.

If we discover that a child's personal information was gathered without proper authority, we will delete it as soon as possible.
