We will also receive technical data in order to ensure the Games connect to the social media provider account.

To provide our Games to you

We will use personal data about you (including Basic Data, Third Party Log In Information and Analytics) to provide our Games to you. The processing of personal data in this way is necessary for us to record your progress and current status within a Game, and to determine whether the Games features function properly, and to improve your experience when playing any one of our Games. In jurisdictions that permit it, we also process personal data based on our legitimate interest or for the performance of a contract, as applicable.

To help us improve the Kwalee Products and fix any problems

We may process non-identifiable Analytics so that we can analyse and improve our Games and Kwalee Products.

This processing is necessary for us to pursue our legitimate interests of (i) ensuring that our Kwalee Products function properly so that you and other users have the best experience when playing any of our Game(s) and using the other Kwalee Products; (ii) improving the quality of our Kwalee Products, and providing a better experience to our users; (iii) identifying and correcting any bugs in the Games and Kwalee Products and (iv) understanding the effectiveness of our marketing to attract new users and re-engage our current users at an aggregated level.

To improve monetisation via in-app purchases

In jurisdictions that require obtaining consent for such processing and where you have provided such consent, you may withdraw your consent by disabling your account.

For advertising purposes

We may process Advertising Data to show you advertisements for third-party services. Those advertisements may be targeted to your interests. The personal data we collect about you may also be used to understand how advertisements placed in our Games have performed or how many people have viewed certain advertisements.

This processing is necessary for us to pursue our legitimate interests of providing you with relevant advertising content, improving user experience and increasing the amount of revenue generated via our Kwalee Products.

In jurisdictions that require obtaining consent for such processing and where you have provided such consent, you may withdraw your consent by changing settings within the app on your device.

We may use the personal data we collect about you to serve you targeted advertisements in our Games.  We do this to provide you with more relevant advertising content. We work with the following third-party advertising networks:

To prevent fraud and illegal activity

We process personal data for our legitimate interests of ensuring that any use of the Kwalee Products is lawful and non-fraudulent, complying with our legal obligations, does not disrupt the operation of our services, does not harass our staff or other individuals, to enforce our legal rights and to comply with our legal obligations.

Where we reasonably believe that you are or may be in breach of any applicable laws or our EULA or any other applicable terms hereunder, we may use your personal data to inform relevant third persons such as law enforcement agencies.

We will share your information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy.

Suppliers and service providers: We may transfer your personal data to our suppliers and service providers that provide services to us, including data analytics providers, IT and related services, payment processing, customer support providers, and security fraud-detection services. Our policy is to limit how our service providers use your personal data so that they only use it for the purpose of providing services to us.

Group Members: We may share your personal data among Kwalee group members, including our affiliates, subsidiaries and parent company for the reasons set out in this Privacy Policy, including developing and supporting the Kwalee Products and users, and sharing between teams collaborating on these purposes.

Advertising partners: We may share your personal data with third-party advertising companies or allow them to set use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information regarding your device and use of the Kwalee Products as further described in the Why We Collect Your Information section above.

Merger or acquisition: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of all or a portion of its assets, bankruptcy, or other corporate restructuring, you will be notified via account message and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal data, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal data.

Required by law: In addition, we may disclose your personal data to the extent that we are required to do so by law (which may include to government bodies and law enforcement agencies); in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings; and in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing personal data to others for the purposes of fraud prevention).

Enforcement: We may also disclose your personal data to third parties in order to enforce or apply the terms of agreements, to investigate potential breaches, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Kwalee, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging personal data with other companies and organisations for fraud protection.

HUQ: We share the following information with Huq: Operating System, Date & time, Bundle ID, Device Model, Device Manufacturer, Carrier Code (Android only), Carrier Name, Mobile Carrier Code, Mobile Network Code, Country, and Locale. In addition to helping us to measure the usage of our apps, this information is shared with Huq for their business purposes, which consist of the creation of anonymised reports, market research and trend analyses. Data shared with Huq does not contain information that directly identifies users and we will not provide additional information that enables Huq to identify you. You can find a full description of Huq and what it and its partners https://huq.io/data-partners do with the information collected via our app here https://huq.io/privacy-policy.

With your consent: We may disclose your personal data otherwise with your approval and consent.

We and our third-party partners, affiliates and service providers use standard tracking technologies (like web beacons, SDKs, APIs, scripts and tags) to identify your computer/device, to “remember” things about your use of Kwalee Products (such as your user preferences) and to help us understand things like the features you use and the Games you play.

We may link or combine the information collected through tracking technologies with other personal data we process about you, such as your User ID, to help us personalize our Kwalee Products, improve the quality of our Kwalee Products, obtain analytics information about the usage of our Kwalee Products, deliver interest-based advertisements, and for security and fraud prevention purposes.

Examples of the tracking technologies we use are below:

Analytics: We use analytics tracking technologies, such as Google Analytics, Fabric, AppsFlyer, Game Analytics, AppOnBoard, Firebase and Tenjin, to gather Analytics as you navigate through our Kwalee Products or when you access our Kwalee Products from other sites, applications, or devices. These technologies help us understand and improve the Kwalee Products, determine and measure the performance of ads or posts and to learn whether you have interacted with our websites, content, or emails.

Social Media Pixels: We use social media pixels such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, to target advertisements to you.

Advertising: We work with third parties, including advertising networks, to collect information about you, serve interest-based ads for us and others, and measure the ads’ effectiveness. For example, we engage third-party services like Google Ad Manager to collect data and to deliver, personalize, and measure ads for the products we sell on our website. The advertisers and advertising networks’ use of tracking technologies and of the information collected through those technologies are covered by their own privacy notices.

Some of the tracking technologies we use enable us to track your device activity over time and across online properties. You may contact us at any time for a list of the current third-party tracking technologies we use on the Kwalee Products. You may review each tracking technology provider’s privacy policy for more information about how they collect your data.

Please see the Consumer Control And Opt-Out Options section below for an explanation about how you can limit the collection and use of your personal data by these third parties and to opt-out of targeted advertising. While we do not honour Do Not Track signals, we do honour other global opt-out mechanisms – please see Section 7 for more information.

We use automated decision making methods which do not involve human involvement to process your information in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy

We may process your personal data via automated decision-making methods in order to identify users who are cheating in the Games. We may block users from the Games and/or the Kwalee Products who are determined to be cheating following an automated decision process. In this scenario the user will be notified of the outcome and will have the right to obtain human intervention to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision to block access to the Games and/or the Kwalee Products.

Opting out of targeted advertisements

Ask for a copy of data we are processing about you and have inaccuracies corrected

You may have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. Specifically, you may have the right to request the categories of personal data we have collected, the categories of sources from which we collected the personal information, the purposes for collecting, selling, or sharing the personal information, the categories of third parties with whom we have shared or sold your personal information, and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you

We will use reasonable efforts to the extent required by law to supply and correct personal data held about you on our files (and with certain third parties to whom it has been disclosed to).

Ask us to restrict or delete your data

You may be able to ask us to restrict or delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including if we no longer need to process that personal data for the reason it was collected, or you have objected to us processing your personal data and we are considering your request.

Withdraw your consent or object to or opt out of us processing your personal data

If you consented to our processing your personal data, you may be able to withdraw that consent. Similarly, if we process your personal on the basis of the legitimate interests of Kwalee or a third party, you don’t agree with that processing, and there is no overriding legitimate interest for us to continue processing it, then you may have the right to object to the processing.

For example, you could withdraw your consent or object to our processing your personal data for marketing or advertising purposes. 

You may have the right to opt out of the processing of your information for purposes of (i) targeted advertising, (ii) the sale or sharing for targeted advertising of your information; or (iii) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effect concerning you.

In order to exercise the Right to Opt Out of Sales or Sharing with respect to any “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising of personal information automatically collected online through cookies and other tracking technologies, you must undertake both of the following steps:

1. Submit a request through the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link at the bottom of this page.
2. Disable the use of all cookies and other tracking technologies in the preference center.  

To the extent required by law, we will honor user-enabled opt-out preference signals sent in a format commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP header field or JavaScript object. We will process opt-out preference signals at the browser or device level, as applicable.

Make a complaint to a Supervisory Authority

If you are unhappy with the way we are processing your personal data, please let us know by contacting us via the support services or sending an email to privacypolicy@kwalee.com.  

We hope that we can satisfy queries you may have about the way we process your personal data. However, if you do not agree with the way we have processed your data or responded to your concerns, you also have the right to submit a complaint to a Data Protection Supervisory Authority. You can bring the complaint in your country or state of residence, place of work or where an alleged infringement of data protection law occurred. You can also submit a complaint to the UK Information Commissioner's Office, where Kwalee is headquartered.

Collection and Disclosure of Personal Information

Our Privacy Policy generally describes the personal data we collect and the sources of information. Please see the Information We May Collect About You section above. Over the past 12 months we may have collected the following categories of personal data, as defined in the CCPA:

• Identifiers – such as User ID, IP address, browser type, advertiser ID and other online identifiers. We collect this information when you provide it to us or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with our Kwalee Products.
• Commercial information – such as records of products purchased, purchase transaction types, and other consuming histories or tendencies, and payment and transaction records. We obtain this information directly from you or otherwise automatically in the course of your interactions with our Kwalee Products.
• Internet or other electronic network activity information – such as device operating system & version, mobile network operator, game play attempts, progression and results, and advertisements viewed and clicked. We obtain this information automatically in the course of your interactions with our Kwalee Products.
• Audio, video and other electronic data – such as when you play our Games, use chat features or participate in live events.
• Inferences – such as consumer preferences drawn from the above.

We do not collect any sensitive personal information.

In addition to collecting these categories of personal data directly from you, we may receive personal data about you from other individuals, through data collection technologies, through ad partners and other third-parties with whom we engage in marketing and advertising activities, and partners who we work with to offer certain features (like TENS Tournament).

We may have collected any of the above categories of personal data in the past 12 months for the business and commercial purposes described in the Why We Collect Information About You section of this Privacy Policy.

Although we have not “sold” personal information for money in the past 12 months, we engage in business interactions with third parties that might be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal data as those concepts are defined by the CCPA. Specifically, we allow third parties to control the collection of personal data through cookies and other tracking technologies. As described in the “Tracking Technologies” section, these third parties collect information about you for the purposes of serving targeted advertising content, understanding your preferences and interests, and to provide analytics services. The below chart details how we may also have disclosed to third parties any of the above categories of personal data in the past 12 months for our business purposes.

We do not knowingly sell or share personal data of minors under the age of 16.

Your California Privacy Rights

Please review Section 8 for an explanation of the rights that may apply to you. In addition to those rights in Section 8, under California’s Shine the Light law, you may also request certain information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by us and our related companies to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
