7. WHY DO WE USE YOUR DATA? (LEGAL GROUNDS FOR DATA PROCESSING)
7.1. When we process information about you, we do so as necessary to provide Spacefarer Research and Development LTD services you use (i.e. to perform agreement between us, enable you to play our games or use game features), meet our legal obligations (f.ex. tax, accounting) or to fulfill the so-called “legitimate interests” of Spacefarer Research and Development LTD or other reasons described in the “How we use your data” section. To clarify, by legitimate interests we mean lawful purposes that could be reasonably expected (like informing you about games we distribute and making sure our marketing is relevant for you, protecting the security of our websites and systems, conducting anti-cheat analysis and anti-fraud checks). When we rely on the legitimate interest, we consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights. For other purposes we will ask for your consent and you will be entitled to withdraw this consent any time, with no impact on the validity of the processing before your consent has been withdrawn.
In essence, we process your data to provide you with Spacefarer Research and Development LTD services, to meet our legal obligations and for other reasons that are important for us like informing you about our games and ensuring security of our website. In other cases, we will ask for your consent in advance and you will always have the right to withdraw it anytime you like.

In certain special cases, a longer retention period might be required by law e.g. tax, accounting purposes or other legal requirements and obligations. As soon as we will no longer require your personal data to provide our services for other purposes mentioned above, we will promptly delete or anonymize it.
9. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
9.3 Non-personal data. We might process some aggregated and general non-personal data on user behaviour (e.g. sales per region, number of store downloads) and share it with Trusted Partners who work with us to provide Spacefarer Research and Development LTD services to you (for example, with games developers/publishers selling games on Spacefarer Research and Development LTD or with payment providers) in order to support, improve or amend Spacefarer Research and Development LTD services or to help them to improve their products, which you have bought. We may also share non-personal information with data analysis services to help us run Spacefarer Research and Development LTD.
