We use non-personal and technical information to:

– Analyze user behaviour and usage trends
– Support advertising and marketing (in aggregate, non-identifiable form)

Legal Bases for Processing (UK GDPR)

We process your personal data only where a legal basis applies:
– Contract: To deliver the services you request (e.g. transactions, wallet, Steam login)
– Legal obligation: To comply with financial, AML, and tax regulations
– Consent: For optional marketing communications

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

Payment Information
Skinstrikes does not process or store payment card details directly. When you make a payment or top up your Wallet Balance, your payment information is provided to our third-party payment service providers (PSPs) who are responsible for handling the transaction.
These PSPs process your data in compliance with PSD2 and apply Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) to protect your payment and prevent fraud. We only receive confirmation of successful or failed transactions; we never have access to your full cardholder data.

How We Protect Your Information

We apply technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no online transmission or storage method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Under UK GDPR, you have rights to:
– Access a copy of your personal data
– Correct inaccurate data
– Request deletion of your data (where legally possible)
– Restrict or object to certain processing
– Request portability of your data
– Withdraw consent to marketing at any time
– Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)

Requests may be sent to support@skinstrikes.com.

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to:
– Provide the Services

– Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
