Please take a moment to carefully review the following Privacy Policy, which explains how we may process your personal data and outlines the rights and choices you have concerning your personal information. By using our Game(s), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms.

We collect information that can identify you ("personal information"), either individually or when combined with other data in our possession.

In accordance with the EU General Data Protection Policy (EU GDPR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), we act as the data controller unless stated otherwise.

Our Game is intended for individuals who are 18 (eighteen) years of age or older. Therefore, we do not knowingly collect or solicit any personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you are not of legal age in your jurisdiction, typically between thirteen (13) and seventeen (17) years old, you can only use the Game with appropriate consent and under the supervision of a parent or guardian. Individuals under thirteen (13) should not provide personal information to the Game. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 18 without obtaining parental consent, we will promptly delete that information. Please contact us if you suspect that we may have collected information from or about a child under eighteen (18) without proper parental consent.

CATEGORIES OF INFORMATION WE PROCESS

Under the conditions described below, we may collect and process information that falls under the following general categories of personal information:

Identifiers (like an online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, or other similar identifiers);
Geolocation data (like physical location (approximate) or movements);
Internet or other similar network activity (like information on your interaction with an application or advertisement;
Commercial Information (like products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies.

TYPES OF THE PROCESSED INFORMATION AND HOW IT IS COLLECTED

Automatically processed information:

With your consent, we employ third-party automated data processing technologies (such as advertising or analytics tools) to analyze specific information sent by your device through our Game(s) (Advertising ID or Android ID for Android devices). Some integrated advertising or analytics tools engage in automated processing of your personal data, which may involve profiling (any form of automated processing of personal data used to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to you, particularly to analyze or predict aspects related to your preferences, interests, behavior, location, or movements). Processing information through automatic data processing technologies starts automatically once you allow our Game(s) to track your activity.

In adherence to the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework that we are involved in and its specifications and policies, which help us to stay consistent with data protection laws in the EU and UK, we use Google CMP with the identification number (CMP ID 300) for our Game(s).

You can withdraw your consent at any time - please check the opt-out paragraph below.

Also, we may process some information about your device and your user behavior on the grounds of our legitimate interest. (Generally, such information is non-personal, i.e., it does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual, and we may access it only in aggregated form. We use this information to improve our Game(s) and give our users the best experience).

TYPE OF THE INFORMATION	DATA
Device Details. When you use a mobile device to access the Game, some details about your device are reported, including “device identifiers”. Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, which uniquely identify your mobile device (but not your personality). Device identifier enables generalized reporting or personalized content and ads by our partners, service providers, and/or other third parties.	Information about the device itself: type of your mobile device, type of operating system and its version, model and manufacturer, screen size, screen density, orientation, battery, and device memory usage. Information about the internet connection: mobile carrier, network provider, network type, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, timestamp and duration of sessions, speed, browser. Location-related information: IP address, the country code/ region/ state/ city associated with your SIM card or your device, language setting, time zone, neighboring commercial points of interest (eg. “coffee shop”). Other device identifiers: e.g. user identifiers (if they are set up by the Game’s developer).
Information about the Game.	Its name, API key (identifier for the Game), version, and properties of our Game can be reported for automated processing and analysis. Some services also record the list of applications and/or processes that are installed or run on your device.
Cookies and similar technologies	When you use the Game, cookies and similar technologies may be used (pixels, web beacons, scripts). A cookie is a text file containing small amounts of information that is downloaded to your device when you access the Game. The text file is then sent back to the server each time you use the Game. This enables us to operate the Game more effectively. For example, we will know how many users access specific areas or features within our Game and which links or ads they clicked on. We use this aggregated information to understand and optimize how our Game is used, improve our marketing efforts, and provide content and features that are of interest to you. We may ask advertisers or other partners to serve ads or services to the Game, which may use cookies or similar technologies.
Log file information.	Log file information is automatically reported each time you request to access the Game. It can also be provided when the Game is installed on your device. When you use our Game, analytics tools automatically record certain log file information, including the time and date when you start and stop using the Game and how you interact with the Game.
Ad-related information.	The following data might be reported about the ads you can view: the date and time a particular ad is served; a record if that ad was “clicked” or if it was shown as a “conversation” event; what ad offer is about; what type of ad it is (e.g., text, image, or video); which ad placement is involved (where the ad offer is displayed within the Game); whether you respond to the ad.
In-app events.	When you use our Game, analytics tools automatically record in-app information (tutorial steps, leveling up, payments, in-app purchases, custom events, progression events, and methods of limiting the processing of user data).

Information automatically provided to advertising or analytics tools is generally beyond our control; consequently, we cannot assume responsibility for processing such information. It's important to note that certain services engage in personal data profiling and may gather information related to your personality and/or your device using technologies that are outside our area of responsibility.

Any requests for information disclosure should be directed to these third parties (see the "HOW WE SHARE YOUR DATA PARAGRAPH").

How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights

To request access to your personal information or seek deletion, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either contact form or e-mail: [email protected].

Consumers can exercise these rights through an authorized agent who meets the agency requirements of the CCPA. A verifiable consumer request related to your personal information can only be made by you or a person registered with the California Secretary of State, whom you have authorized to act on your behalf. You also have the option to make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. Please include the phrase "Consumer rights to maintain confidentiality in the state of California" in the text of your request.

Any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process, so when submitting a verifiable request, you should be ready to:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include name, address, city, state, zip code, and email address.

We will not be able to respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot (i) verify your identity or authority to make the request or (ii) confirm the personal information that relates to you. We may ask you for additional information or documents to verify your identity. We may also carry out checks with third-party identity verification services to verify your identity before taking any action with your personal information. This is regarded as a safeguard measure to prevent disclosure of your personal information under a fake or scum request.

We ensure that personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request will be used only to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request and not for any other purpose. We will keep it for the adequate term reasonably needed for the purpose described above and delete it after the purpose is fulfilled.

We try to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. We will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing if we require more time. Please note that we are only required to respond to two requests per customer each year.
