Please read this privacy notice carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.

1. INFORMATION COLLECTED ABOUT YOU

The following paragraphs describe the information we collect about you and how.

1.1 Information you give us voluntarily

If you contact us directly (via email, social media etc) or register for any of our Services (including to save your scores in an account etc), we collect your contact information and other information you may provide depending on the context. This may include your name, email and other account credentials. If you log-in to our services, we recognise you by assigning you a unique user ID.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Some information – such as IP address and/or browser and device characteristics – is collected automatically when you visit our Services. We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Services and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our Services, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes. Like many businesses, we also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.

1.3 Information from other sources

We may obtain your information through social media platforms, for example when you sign-in to our services using social-sign-in such as those operated by Google, Facebook etc. By linking the services, you authorize us to collect, store and use any information they may give us (e.g., your email address). You can disconnect your registration from third-party accounts at any time.

We also receive information from you when you interact with our pages, groups, accounts or posts on social media platforms. This includes aggregate data on our followers (e.g., age, gender and location), engagement data and individual users’ public profiles.

We may use third party data sources such as survey information for marketing and analytics. This data sometimes includes your contact details and demographic information such as age and gender.

2. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

We process your information for the following purposes based on legitimate business interests:

2.1 To provide our services to you

We use your information to help us to provide you with access our websites and services, such as making games and other services available to you, allowing access to any account you have registered with us, responding to and inquiries or other communication from you, recording and displaying your scores and stats, completing any purchase transactions you make with us, sending service-related messages, saveing your service preferences and letting you take part in any polls, promotions, research and comments that we enable.

2.2 To personalise your experience and develop further services

We may track your interactions with us to personalize and improve your experience and recommend future games and other interactions. We also analyse data across our users, which may include the user of aggregated de-personalised information, to help us understand user behaviour, improve our user experience and make business decisions.

2.3 To provide personalized advertising on our websites

We gather data and work with ad networks and third parties to show you personalized ads on behalf of advertisers. This data comes from ad tracking technologies set by us or the third party (including cookies), the information you provide such as your email address, your use of our services, information from advertisers or ad networks and anything inferred from any of this information. We only use or share this information in a manner that does not reveal your identity. For example, we use Google and other ad networks to serve ads on our websites, these networks use cookies or unique device identifiers, in combination with their own data, to show you ads based on you visiting our websites and other sites connected to these networks.

For more about targeted advertising, and how to opt out with your specific browser and device, go to the DAA Webchoices Browser Check and NAI Opt Out of Interest-Based Advertising. You can download the AppChoices app to opt out in mobile apps. You can also follow the instructions in the What Are Your Privacy Rights? section below. We try to limit how our third-party advertising technology vendors use the information they gather from you. Many of these providers require us to enter into contracts that allow them to optimize their own services and products, or that help them create their own. Essentially, these providers combine any information they gather about you through our services with information they receive from their other clients. This helps them target ads to you on behalf of their other clients, not just us. These third parties sometimes use other services in order to serve ads; check their privacy policies for more details. For further information on tracking technologies and your rights and choices regarding them, see the applicable Cookie Policy.

2.4 To advertise our services to you

Sometimes we may market our services to you and may use marketing vendors to do this. We serve ads through websites, locations, platforms and services operated and owned by third parties. Often these ads are targeted at people who have visited or registered for our services. The ads are also targeted at people with similar traits or behaviours to our subscribers or customers which we facilitate with the use of lists of encrypted customer data.

2.5 To fulfil our contractual and legal obligations

We use the information we collect or receive:

• To comply with our terms, conditions and policies for Business Purposes, Legal Reasons and Contractual.
• To respond to legal requests and prevent harm.
• If we receive a subpoena or other legal request, we may need to inspect the data we hold to determine how to respond.
