International Transfers
7seas-ca.com is offered to Canadian users but operated by FlowPlay, Inc. from the United States. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or accessed from countries outside your province or country of residence, including the USA and other jurisdictions where our service providers are located.
- For Canadian users: By using 7seas-ca.com, you understand and consent to the processing of your information in countries that may have different data protection rules than Canada. When we transfer data, we take steps to ensure it remains subject to appropriate safeguards, and we require our service providers to protect it consistently with this Policy.
- For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or other regions with transfer restrictions: Where required, we implement suitable safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or comparable mechanisms approved by relevant authorities to legitimize cross-border transfers.
- For Mexican users: If Mexican data protection law applies to you, we aim to ensure that international transfers comply with the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties and its regulations, including appropriate contractual safeguards with recipients.
Regardless of location, we use contractual, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information when it is transferred internationally.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and applicable laws, but we generally apply the following criteria:
- Account and profile data: kept for the lifetime of your account and typically for up to 5 years after account closure, unless a longer period is required for legal, accounting, or dispute resolution purposes.
- Gameplay and behavioral data: stored in identifiable form for as long as your account is active and for a limited period (usually up to 3 years) thereafter, after which it may be anonymized or aggregated.
- Transaction data (virtual items): retained for up to 7 years where needed to meet tax, accounting, or legal record-keeping requirements, subject to applicable law.
- Marketing data: information about your marketing preferences and interactions is retained for as long as you remain subscribed and generally no more than 2 years after you last interact with our marketing, unless longer retention is required or permitted by law.
- Technical logs and security records: retained for a short, defined period (typically from several months up to 2 years) to ensure security, investigate incidents, and compile statistical insights.
When data is no longer needed and no legal obligation requires retention, we securely delete, anonymize, or aggregate it. You may also request deletion in accordance with the "Your Rights" section, subject to legitimate limitations (for example, where we must retain some records for legal reasons).

We use cookies and similar technologies on 7seas-ca.com to enable core functionality, secure your sessions, and understand how our services are used. These technologies may be set by us (first-party) or by authorized third parties acting on our behalf.

Data Security
We implement a combination of technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.
- Encryption and secure transport: data is transmitted using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.2 or higher. Where appropriate, we encrypt data at rest using robust encryption algorithms.
- Access controls and authentication: access to systems that process personal data is limited to authorized personnel based on role and necessity. Administrative access requires strong authentication, and access rights are reviewed periodically.
- Network and application security: we use firewalls, intrusion detection or prevention tools, logging, and monitoring to help detect and mitigate threats, and we regularly apply security updates.
- Vendor management: service providers that process personal information on our behalf are required to implement appropriate security measures and to process data only according to our instructions.
- Staff awareness and training: employees and contractors with access to personal data receive guidance or training on privacy and security responsibilities and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Incident response: we maintain procedures to investigate and respond to suspected data incidents. Where required by law, we will notify you and/or relevant authorities of certain data breaches without undue delay.
We endeavor to align our security practices with recognized industry standards and frameworks. However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and you should also take care to protect your account credentials and devices.
