When you visit our website, official social media sites, or other online properties, collectively “Sites” or “Services,” Light & Wonder may collect and use certain information about you. Light & Wonder recognizes that you care about how your information is used, and your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect and use your information, particularly your personal information, and the choices you can make about what information you share. 

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected by our Sites and Services, including, but not limited to, all websites that post a link to this Privacy Policy. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.  By continuing to interact with our Sites, you are agreeing to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

If you are located in the European Union (“EU”) or the United Kingdom (“UK”), this Privacy Policy also informs you about the management of your personal data and your rights in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), including as that Regulation is incorporated into the domestic law of the United Kingdom as the UK GDPR.

If you are a resident of California, this Privacy Policy also informs you of certain privacy rights under California law.

UPDATES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We ask that you read this Privacy Policy from time to time. Light & Wonder may modify this Privacy Policy at any time in its sole discretion. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy that increase our rights to use personal information we have previously collected about you or if we intend to process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which the personal data was first collected, we will provide you with additional information necessary to ensure fair and transparent processing and obtain your consent where required by law.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Light & Wonder collects information about you when you interact with our Sites and Services. When you use our Sites and Services, we collect information about one or more devices associated with you that you use to access the Sites, such as a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. We collect, store, and use information you provide to us from one or more devices associated with you when you use our Sites, including when you log into the Sites or Services from one or more of your devices, register for an account, complete a web form, make a purchase, add or update your account information, apply for a job at Light & Wonder, or otherwise correspond with us regarding the Sites.  Information that we collect includes your name, physical address, country of residence, email address, telephone number, language, social media information or profile, gender, and employment history information. In addition, when you make a purchase through our Sites, either Light & Wonder or a third-party payment processor will collect billing information, such as payment card information.

INFORMATION WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT

We automatically collect information about the devices you use to interact with our Sites. We automatically collect your device identifier, web browser type and version, IP address, and browsing information collected through cookies and beacons. We also automatically collect information about how you use the Sites, such as what you have searched for and viewed on the Sites.  The information automatically collected will be associated with any personal information you have provided.

We collect certain information by automated means when you visit our Sites, such as how many users visited our Sites and the pages accessed. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor our Sites to our visitors. We collect this information through various means such as “cookies” and “web beacons.”

Cookies. Like many companies, we use “cookies” on some of our Sites. Cookies are pieces of code placed on your devices when you visit certain websites.  Most web browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the features and functionality of the Sites.  For more information on our use of cookies, please see our cookie policy.

Web Beacons. Certain pages on our website contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags, and clear GIFs). These web beacons allow third parties to obtain information, such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears; the URL of the page on which the beacon appears; the time the page containing the beacon was viewed; the type of browser used to view the page; and the information in cookies set by the third party.

IP Addresses. An IP address is a unique identifier that certain electronic devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet. When you visit our website, we view the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. We then use this information to determine the general physical location of the device and understand the general locations of our website visitors. We also use this information to enhance our Sites.

HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

We may use your information for the following purposes:

To Communicate With You

  • To provide you with customer support;
  • To communicate with you about our products and services, including promotions, solicitations and offers; or

DO NOT TRACK

Our Sites do not collect personal information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. Therefore, “do not track” signals transmitted from web browsers do not apply to our Sites, and we do not alter any of our data collection and use practices upon receipt of such a signal.

BUSINESS STRUCTURE CHANGES

We reserve the right to disclose and transfer all information related to our Sites, including personal data:

  • To a subsequent owner, co-owner, or operator of one or more of the Sites; or
  • In connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, or restructuring, the sale of substantially all of our stock and/or assets, or other corporate change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process.

INFORMATION WE SHARE

We share your information with service providers who perform services and functions on our behalf to support our interactions with you including, for example, providing our products and services, processing your purchases, or communicating with you. These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information, except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. 

In addition, we will disclose information about you:

  • If we are required to do so by law or legal process;
  • To law enforcement authorities or other government officials, as necessary;
  • When we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or suspected or actual illegal activity;
  • If necessary to protect the vital interests of a person;

SOCIAL NETWORKING

This website allows users to sign into and associate social media accounts, including but not limited to, Facebook and LinkedIn, with the Sites and Services. By using this functionality, you give Light & Wonder permission to access all of the elements of your social network profile information that you have made available to be shared and to use it in accordance with the social network’s terms of use and this Privacy Policy. Please refer to the privacy settings in your social network account for information about what data is shared with Light & Wonder and other connected applications and to manage the data that is shared through your account, including information about your activities using our Sites.

If you would like to disconnect a social media account from Light & Wonder, please refer to the settings of that social media account and its provider.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our sites are general audience Sites not directed at children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that any information we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that information.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our Sites may provide links to other websites for your convenience and information, including those that are operated by third parties. Third-party websites operate independently from our Sites, which means we are not responsible for their content, how they use your information, or their privacy practices. 

INFORMATION WE TRANSFER

The Sites to which this Privacy Policy applies are subject to United States law, unless otherwise provided herein. Light & Wonder shall transfer personal data on a regular basis to its parent company outside the European Union, Switzerland and the U.K. and, more specifically, in the United States of America. Light & Wonder shall ensure that all personal data from individuals in the European Union is processed in accordance with the GDPR. All such transfers shall be made through an approved transfer mechanism—such as our Intra-Group Data Transfer Agreement or Standard Contractual Clauses, or with your explicit consent. Such agreements and clauses may be requested by contacting DPO@lnw.com.

In addition, we transfer the personal information we collect on the Sites to countries other than the United States where we do business, which may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you reside. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described here, even though a given country may not have the same privacy and data protection laws as the country in which you reside.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

If you are a California Resident, California law provides you with certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to know about personal information collected, disclosed, or sold. You also have the right to request that we delete any or all of your personal information that we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions, and the right not to be discriminated against if you exercise any of your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act.

We may have disclosed the categories of personal information identified above to certain third parties for a business purpose over the past twelve months, including internet service providers, data analytics providers, government entities, operating systems and platforms, and social networks. Where we disclose information for a business purpose, we enter into a contract that describes the business purpose and requires the recipient to keep the personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except for performing the contract.

Light & Wonder will not and has not sold personal information of California residents, including those under 16 years of age, to third parties for a commercial purpose in the preceding twelve months.

Right to Know

California residents have the right to request that Light & Wonder disclose certain information about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Requests to Know and Delete below for instructions), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.

Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Requests to Know and Delete below for instructions), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

Requests to Know and Delete

To exercise your right to know and right to delete described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us using our Privacy Rights Request forms found at the end of this policy or you can e-mail us at DPO@lnw.com.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. If you wish to submit a verifiable consumer request on behalf of another individual, such as a minor child, we will also need sufficient information to verify that the individual is the person about whom we collected personal information and that you are authorized to submit the request on their behalf.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request to know or delete your data twice within a 12-month period. Your request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or are an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We will need to verify your identity before processing most requests, which may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. We will only use the personal information provided in connection with a request to review and comply with the request.  If you do not provide this information, we may not be able to verify or complete your request.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will inform you of the reason for the extension.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the rights described above.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request information regarding the disclosure of their personal information by us to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes within the immediately preceding calendar year. We will provide you with a list of the categories of personal information disclosed and a list of the names and addresses of the third parties. To make such a request, please fill out our Privacy Rights Request form and select “Shine the Light” from the dropdown menu.

NEVADA RESIDENTS

Light & Wonder does not sell personal information of Nevada residents to third parties; however, Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes permits a Nevada resident to opt out of future sales of certain covered information that a website operator has collected or will collect about the resident. To submit such a request, please contact us using our Privacy Rights Request form and make sure you include the words “Nevada opt-out” in the “Request Details” section of the request form.
