O PlayWay S.A.

PlayWay działa w Polsce od 2011 roku. Firma jest producentem i wydawcą średnio i niskobudżetowych gier, które tworzy we współpracy z około 70 spółkami zależnymi oraz licznymi zespołami wewnętrznymi. Model biznesowy przedsiębiorcy polega na jednoczesnym tworzeniu kilkunastu niskobudżetowych tytułów, co pozwala zmniejszyć ryzyko w przypadku niepowodzenia jednego z nich. Największymi sukcesami grupy PlayWay są gry : Car Mechanic i House Flipper.  PlayWay bada potencjalny popyt na gry tworzone przez spółkę wykorzystując różne narzędzia, w tym media społecznościowe oraz listy, na które zapisują się osoby deklarujące chęć kupna danej gry. Krzysztof Kostowski jest związany z branżą gier od początku swojej kariery zawodowej, a jego głównym celem była konsolidacja wielu zespołów developerskich w ramach jednej struktury. Działanie miało na celu zmniejszenie kosztów marketingu, księgowości jak i korzystanie ze wspólnej wiedzy wielu developerów i udało się to osiągnąć w grupie PlayWay  gdzie jest największym akcjonariuszem.

PlayWay prowadzi sprzedaż m. in. za pośrednictwem własnego konta na portalu STEAM, AppStore oraz GooglePlay. Europa Zachodnia i Ameryka Północna odpowiadają za 80% sprzedaży Grupy. USA i Niemcy to dwa największe rynki odpowiadające łącznie za 41% sprzedaży Grupy.

Krzysztof Kostowski CEO PlayWay SA

Krzysztof Kostowski 
Od ponad 20 lat związany z tworzeniem gier komputerowych oraz ich sprzedażą.

Początkowo współwłaściciel największej hurtowni gier komputerowych w Polsce - PLAY sp. z o.o., gdzie odpowiadał m.in. za pełny proces tworzenia nowych gier, sprzedaż licencji, kontakty z klientami zagranicznymi, tworzenie cyklu miesięczników z pełnymi wersjami gier, rekrutacje developerów, projektowanie nowych gier, oprawę graficzną produktów.

PLAY sp. z o.o.w latach 2001-2011 wprowadziła do sprzedaży ponad 10 milionów gier, zarówno do kiosków jak i do sklepów detalicznych: partnerskich względem systemu PlayShop oraz do sieci wielkopowierzchniowych.

Krzysztof Kostowski kierując działem tworzenia gier, wyprodukował ponad 100 gier komputerowych i przyczynił się do powstania i umocnienia wielu zespołów developerskich, oraz do zgromadzenia (w wielu przypadkach - po raz pierwszy) wiedzy praktycznej u licznej grupy młodych developerów w latach 2004-2010. Z powodu specyfiki sprzedaży produktów w kioskach, gry powstawały jako produkty niskiej jakości i dostosowane były do klienta o mniej zasobnym portfelu.

W 2011 roku Krzysztof Kostowski powołał do działania spółkę PlayWay S.A., której celem było całkowicie skupić się na tworzeniu gier komputerowych wyższej jakości oraz wydawaniu i dystrybuowaniu ich na cały świat.
Zamierzeniem Firmy, od początku jej istnienia, było dywersyfikowanie ryzyka poprzez tworzenie dużej ilości gier. Ten cel w pełni udało się zrealizować już na koniec 2015: gry Spółki tworzone były w 44 zespołach deweloperskich.

Z dużej ilości tworzonych gier, większość okazała się rentowna, a kilka z nich zapewniło stałe finansowanie firmy oraz umożliwiło pozyskiwanie kolejnych zespołów, a także zakładanie spółek zależnych.

Dziś PlayWay S.A. poza tworzeniem własnych zespołów developerskich, wydawaniem własnych gier, zajmuje się również wydawaniem gier zewnętrznych zespołów.
Firma posiadła też unikalną wiedzę w zakresie prowadzenia kampanii crowdfundingowych w serwisie Kickstarter. Udało się pozyskać dodatkowe wpływy z aż pięciu zakończonych sukcesem akcji, jednakże główną z nich korzyścią nie jest wcale aspekt finansowy, lecz marketingowy i PR-owy.

The user’s personal data is transferred solely to entities in third-party countries that have relevant safeguards in use to ensure that their level of data protection complies with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

As a consequence, the transfers of data will occur solely as follows:

Does PlayWay “sell” personal information?

PlayWay does not, and shall not, provide the user’s personal information in direct exchange for money. Hence, in the literal sense, the user’s data is not sold by PlayWay. Certain categories of personal data collected by PlayWay are disclosed (more information under “Sharing of information”) to third parties for purposes listed in “Use of information – purpose and legal basis”.

As regarding the scope that this activity is interpreted as a representation of a “sale” as part of the CCPA, please contact contact@PlayWay.com to excercise the user’s right to withdraw consent on sharing the user’s personal information with third parties.

USER RIGHTS

Rights of EEU residents

We process and answer the user’s requests promptly and in any event within one month of our receipt of the request, unless in view of a complex request, an extended period is required. In such case, our response time can extend to three months as foreseen by Article 12 of the GDPR.

User’s right to request access

The user is eligible to request access to their processed data. More information in Article 15 of the GDPR, including regarding:

• the aim of processing;

What is more, the user has the right to request for a copy of the personal data that is processed. It must be noted that some forms of access could be restricted in connection with intellectual property or trade secrets.

The right to object

The user has the right to object to the processing of their personal data in relation with a concrete instance when the processing of data occurs based on the balancing-of-interest rule provided in Section 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (more information in Article 21 of the GDPR). In such case, the processing shall be terminated unless there exist compelling legitimate grounds for such processing which override the user’s interests and rights or there is a need for processing of data for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

The user can, at any time, object to the processing of their personal data for direct marketing purposes. We will abandon the processing of the user’s personal data for this purpose after the user has objected to it.

Right to rectification

The user has the right to rectify inaccurate personal information (more information in Article 16 of the GDPR).

The right to restriction

The user has the right to request for limited processing in some circumstances (more information in Article 18 of the GDPR). If the user is eligible for restriction, data of the user will be processed only with their consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of a legal claim or for the purpose of protection of a party or in view of considerable grounds of public interest.

If the user has been asked for allowing the processing of their data, the user can, at any time, withdraw their consent (more information in Article 7 of the GDPR).

If the user’s consent is withdrawn, processing of data for which the user has withdrawn consent shall be terminated, unless there exists a legal obligation to maintain data of all data of the user.

Withdrawal of the user’s consent does not impact the lawfulness of processing based on the user’s consent before withdrawal.

The right to data portability

The user has the right to receive the provided personal information that is processed in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and the user can transmit such data to another controller if the processing is based on consent or contract performance, more information in Article 20 of the GDPR.

Rights of California residents

Verified requests are usually attended in 45 days of making contact. If an extended time is required (up to 90 days), the user shall be notified of the reason and extension period in written format. Our written response shall be provided by mail.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. The response provided by us will also explain the grounds for not being able to comply with a request, where relevant. For requests related with data portability, a format will be chosen to provide the user’s personal data that is readily useable and should allow unhindered transmission of information from one entity to another .

Right to opt out

Under CCPA each California citizen has the right to request that any business stop disclosing personal information to third parties.

Right to be informed

The user has the right to be informed about the collected categories of personal data, including the purpose of storage of personal data. This information is available in our Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy is updated at least once every 12 months.

Right to disclosure

The user has the right to request disclosure of what personal data related to the user have been collected in the past 12 months.

It is guaranteed that our Privacy Policy is a relevant document where the user can find information regarding the type of personal data associated with the user, which we have or plan to store over the past 12 months and intend to collect, sources of the user’s personal data and the manner of using  the user’s personal data.

The user also has the right to obtain a free copy of their personal information shared in a readily usable and readable form (right of access). This request can be made for free, twice per year.

Providing information as part of the right of access, the user will be provided the following information:

• The categories of collected personal data,
• The categories of sources of the personal data,
• The aim for collecting the user’s personal data,
• The categories of any third parties with whom the user’s personal data is shared,
• The concrete items of collected personal data about the user.

Right to deletion

The user has the right to request deletion of personal data related to them that has been collected in the past 12 months.

The user’s right to deletion is recognized. Nevertheless, it is noted that there are cases in which we must maintain records of the user’s personal data for a specific time. For example, if we must provide services to the user, identify or close issues associated with security or functionality, comply with the law, perform research in the public interest, safeguard the right to free speech, or perform any activities for in-house purposes that can be reasonably expected. If we are not obliged to perform any of the abovementioned, the user’s personal information can be deleted as per their request.

Right to equal services and prices

California residents shall be protected against any discrimination which they could experience from a business, based on their CCPA rights.

We will not discriminate against the user for exercising any of the user’s CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

• Deny the user the App,
• Charge the user different prices or rates for the App, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties,
• Provide the user a different level or quality of the App,
• Suggest that the user may receive a different price or rate for services or a different level or quality of the App.

How can the user’s right be exercised

If the user would like to use any rights described below, they may contact us at any time at  iod@PlayWay.com

Mandatory verification: The user’s identity must be verified before their request can be processed. Nevertheless, because the user cannot set up an account in the App, and no information is provided directly by the user, and information is collected on an automatic basis, restricted verification methods can be used. To verify the user’s identity, in general we will require the data in our systems to match with the information we can process when the user is making a request. In some instances, the request could be declined, mainly if the user’s identity cannot be verified, for example, if cookies are disabled, the device used to access the App is changed or if deletion of personal data has already been requested.
