YOUR RIGHTS

[RIGHT 1.1] Right to be Forgotten (Account Deletion)

  • At SCP Workshop, we believe in your fundamental right to privacy and control over your personal data, offering the right to be forgotten to all our users worldwide. If you decide to invoke this right, you can initiate the process by submitting a request through our help and support center on the SCP Market. For the security and privacy of all users, we will require you to provide sufficient proof of account ownership. Should we be unable to confirm that you are the rightful account owner, we reserve the right to decline the account deletion request.
     
  • Please consider the implications of exercising your right to be forgotten carefully. Once actioned, it may not be possible to re-register under the same credentials or recover any data previously associated with your account. Your data will be permanently removed from our databases, anonymized, or disassociated from any user identity, effectively erasing your digital footprint from our platform.

 

[RIGHT 1.2] Your Right to Access Your Data

  • In alignment with our commitment to transparency and user rights, particularly for our users and visitors within the European Economic Area (EEA), we uphold your right to access your personal information. You are entitled to request a copy of your personal data stored by us. It’s important to note that the personal data we hold is typically limited to non-sensitive information such as IP addresses, transaction history, and any business-related information you have shared with us.
     
  • This right enables you to receive insights into the personal information we have collected about you, ensuring our practices align with your expectations and regulatory requirements. To make a request for your personal data, please contact us through the support channels available on the SCP Market. Our team is dedicated to assisting you promptly and efficiently, ensuring you have the information you need regarding your personal data within our systems.
