- Payment information - If you buy any paid services through RollVault, you may need to submit a valid payment method and associated billing information, including your full name and billing address. Our payment processors, like Stripe, Google, and Apple, receive and process your payment information. Depending on the processor, we may also receive and store certain billing information, including the last four digits of the credit card number associated with the transaction.
- App and website usage information - As you use our services (rolling dice, sending messages, creating campaigns and characters), we will automatically log usage events. This helps us to improve the service and to quickly diagnose any issues in our system. These usage events are usually anonymous but may contain information included from content you create.

1. Personal information obtained from you directly

How we use your personal information
1. General purposes
Your personal information will generally be processed for the following purposes;
- To provide you with our services - We require your account information to authenticate you, and your content to allow you to share your tabletop experiences with your friends. The service would not work without this information.
- To contact you - We may need to update policies or terms (like this Privacy Policy), and we are obligated to inform you when major changes happen.
- To secure our service - Authentication restrictions exist to ensure you join campaigns only with the people you want to. These restrictions keep our service secure.
- To improve our service - Understanding how you use our service helps us make improvements to make it the best it can be. These improvements can be categorised into both feature uplift, and bug fixing; both contribute to improving the quality of the service.
2. Monitoring
We may monitor communications, and in doing so we may obtain your personal information through this process. We will undertake monitoring in the following circumstances: Calls and emails may be monitored for quality assurance purposes.
Lawful basis for processing of your information
We have described above the purposes for which we may process your personal information. These purposes will at times be justified by UK data protection law.
1. General lawful bases
The lawful basis upon which we are able to process your personal data are:
- where we have your consent to use your data for a specific purpose;
- where it is necessary to enter into a legal contract with you or to perform obligations under a legal contract with you;
- where it is necessary to enable us to comply with a legal obligation;
- where it is necessary to ensure our own legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (provided that your own interests and rights do noo override those interests). Wherever we rely upon this basis, details of the legitimate interests concerned shall be provided to you;
- where we need to protect your own vital interests (or the vital interests of another person); and/or
- where it is needed in the public interest (orr where we are acting in our official functions), provided that the task or function has a clear basis in law.
In general, in order to meet the purposes we have described above, we will process your personal information where we have your express consent on each occasion that the data is processed.
Disclosure of your personal information
Your personal information is disclosed in the following ways;
- When you tell us to - When you create campaigns, create characters, roll custom dice, and send messages, you are telling us to share that information with other members of those campaigns. Through our service, you are able to restrict access to only the people you want in your games, and you are able to leave campaigns at any time. For the most part, access is restricted only to those who have an invite link to your campaign.
- With our service providers - This includes cloud providers (Amazon) where we host our data and services, and payment gateways (Stripe, Google, Apple) where we process payment information to provide you with a premium service. We are located in Australia, so our servers and data are hosted in Australia. We may also store information on servers outside Australia, which can depend on the location of our users or service providers. These service providers allow us to provide our services to you. By accessing or using our services or otherwise providing information to us, you understand that your information will be processed, transferred, and stored in Australia and other countries, where different data protection standards may apply and/or you may not have the same rights as you do under local law.
- In an emergency - We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that it’s necessary to prevent serious harm to a person.
- To comply with the law - We may disclose information in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is required by law, including meeting national security or law enforcement requirements.
Should we have additional third parties where we disclose your information, we will notify you when this position changes.
Necessity of information
Where information is requested from you and you do not provide this, you will likely not be able to login if no means of authentication is provided.
We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you, whether you are required to provide the information to us.
How long your personal information will be kept
Your personal information will be kept for the period of time which is necessary for us to fulfil the above purposes.
We envisage that your personal information shall be retained by us indefinitely, until a request is made to support@rollvault.app to delete your personal data (and account).
Once that request is made, your information shall be properly deleted or anonymised.
Please see our Data deletion request instructions for more information.
Keeping you information secure
We will ensure the proper safety and security of your personal information and have measures in place to do so. We will also use technological and organisation measures to keep your information secure. These measures are as follows:
- All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest
- All data is kept on secure servers
We have proper procedures in place to deal with any data security breach, which shall be reported and dealt with in accordance with data protection laws and regulations. You shall also be notified of any suspected data breach concerning your personal information.
Users in the EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Brazil
Certain local laws, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), require services to provide information about the information they collect, how they use it, and the lawful basis for processing it. We’ve described most of that already in the earlier portions of this Policy.
If you are located in certain regions, including the European Union, and the UK, you have a number of important rights free of charge. In summary, those include rights to:
- fair processing of information and transparency over how we use your personal information;
- access to your personal information and to certain other supplementary information that this Privacy Statement is already designed to address;
- require us to correct any mistakes in your information which we hold;

- object at any time to processing of personal information concerning you for direct marketing;
- object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you;
- object in certain other situations to our continued processing of your personal information, or ask us to suspend the processing procedure in order for you to confirm its assurance or our reasoning for processing it;
- object to processing of your personal information where we are doing so in reliance upon a legitimate interest of our own or of a third party and where you wish to raise objection to this particular ground;
- otherwise restrict our processing of your personal information in certain circumstances;
- claim compensation for damages caused by our breach of any data protection laws; and/or
- in any circumstance where we rely upon your consent for processing your personal information, you may withdraw this consent at any time.
