Sensitivity of Data

Our platform does not purposely collect any sensitive personal data, such as your political views, racial or ethnic background, or health condition. Moreover, we cannot constantly monitor all the messages you send via our platform. Although we try our best to ensure the privacy of the transfer, we are unable to differentiate sensitive personal messages from other types of messages you may send. Please note that we do not provide any additional security measures for such sensitive messages.

Data from kids

Children's personal sensitive information is not something we ask for. To play our games, you must be over 18 years old.

What do we store your data for?

Our usage of personal information adheres to relevant data protection regulations. We only process user data with their legal consent. If we need to process data to provide online services or for legal purposes, we obtain user consent. We also collect data for the safety of our legitimate interests, such as analyzing user behavior to improve the efficiency and security of our online goods, registering new accounts for marketing and advertising purposes, collecting access details, and using third-party services.

GDPR's Article 6(1) (a) and Article 7 provide the legal basis for obtaining consent, Article 6(1) (b) serves as the legal foundation for fulfilling contractual obligations and service provision, Article 6(1)(c) for legal obligations, and Article 6(1) (f) for protecting legitimate interests, which govern our personal data processing activities.

Enabling gameplay process

Our game platform requires certain information to operate effectively. We need you to register an account so that we can distinguish you from other users on our site and enable you to make remarkable progress in your game level. When you log in, we verify your login credentials against the data we have in our file and provide you with your game progress and configuration data.

Other players on our platform can see your progress details, including your avatar and display name. You have the option to change your name and avatar at any time. We also use your language and country information to offer you a localized experience, and our in-game store displays prices in your local currency.

Payments and invoices

Your purchases in our in-game store are typically processed by third-party payment processors when you buy in-game currency. If the payment is successful, we will receive a digital invoice page that we will hold for legal compliance, dispute resolution, and platform optimization purposes. (see legal interest section; Article 6.1.f GDPR)

The invoices contain information about what you purchased, the payment methods used, and the total amount paid. We won't store any sensitive personal data unless authorized to handle payments.

Web and App Analytics

We utilize several tracking services to maintain pseudonymized data on member activity on our website to enhance our apps, website, resolve issues, and create the platform and advertising programs (in accordance with Article 6.1.f GDPR). For obtaining behavioral data, these services use device IDs (for mobile) or device cookies (for desktop), such as the percentage of users who visited our platform and had an account with us or the average time spent on our platform by users.

We may exchange data such as your referral source, device settings, user ID in our games, page history, and payment information when you register with us.

Trackers use this information for one of three purposes: to create an estimated behavioral profile of you to improve marketing targeting for service users; to enable us to pay users based on their performance rather than impressions (performance marketing); or to allow sign-up instances to fund our campaigns.
