Data transfer clarification
By now, all customers that we have data on should have received either a notecard or an e-mail about the recent announcement.
If you didn't get it, please contact support.
I'd like to clarify a few points and answer a few questions here.
1) What data does CasperTech hold that Linden Lab doesn't already have access to?
- LL can already see all of your sales, rentals, etc - because these transactions go through the second life
- platform.
- Most data that CasperTech collects gets transmitted to Second Life at some point or another as part
- of running the service.
- For example, your product names, textures and pricing information get sent to the vendors.
- Tenant rental expiries, rental configurations, etc get sent to the rental units.
- However, some things are only used in our systems, such as e-mail addresses, and this data may not
- already be held by LL (for example, your CasperTech e-mail address may be different from the one
- you use with Second Life).
- This is the reason why we have to follow the legal process.
2) I just want to keep my services, what do I need to do?
- If you are happy with the services to continue as they are once transferred to LL, you don't need to do
- anything.
3) I never used your stuff, but I got a notification!
- If you received a notecard or e-mail, it means we hold data on you. It doesn't necessarily mean that you
- used our services, just that you created an account at some point.
4) I don't want my data to be sent to LL. How do I object?
- Please use our tool provided at https://gdpr.casperdns.com/ - this tool is specifically designed for this
- purpose, and will action a complete removal of your data (according to the options you select).
5) Can I continue to use my CasperTech stuff if i delete my data?
- The system heavily depends on this data in order to function. Depending on what you delete, all or
- some of your CasperTech services will no longer operate.
6) What about my purchases or rentals with other merchants?
- These will be unaffected. This data is owned by those merchants, they are the data controller and we
- operate in the capacity as a data processor on their behalf.
- If you want this data to be removed, you will need to contact those companies to request it.
7) My avatar is banned / I can't login, and I don't want my data to be transferred!
- We need to be able to authenticate you in order to remove your data - we can't take your word for it,
- that would allow people to maliciously get other people's accounts deleted.
- Please e-mail us at gdpr-legal@caspertech.co.uk - we will attempt to authenticate you based on knowledge
- of your account, we'll ask you some things which only the account owner would know.
- Unfortunately if we can't verify that you own the account, we won't be able to action the request.
