PRIVACY POLICY FOR APPS ( ALL THE COUNTRIES EXCEPT EEA )

This is the Privacy Policy for all Applications developed and published by Luis Torres and / or Mania Cool Productions.

Most of our apps are ad-free. The first part of our privacy policy includes an explanation of how we handle advertisements.

(Last update October 7 2021)

IN CASE YOUR APPS INCLUDE INTEREST-BASED ADS ...

If your app is ad-free, you can skip this section.

We promote our Apps and services in ours and other publisher`s apps and we also allow our partners to promote and advertise their goods and services in our Apps. We may share information we collect from you to our advertising partners, and they can reuse such data for targeted advertising. We or our advertising partners may display interest-based, or retargeted, ads (``IBA``), but only for the device IDs that have passed the age gate and have not opted out of IBA. By using our Apps and not choosing one of the opt-out options, you give us consent to transfer your data as stated below.

We may pass information we collect from you such as technical information, advertising and application usage information (for example if a device has clicked on a sports ad within our Apps, for more information please see Information and Data We Collect from You Section of this Privacy Policy) as well as age & gender information to our advertising partners and they can reuse such data for targeted advertising. We allow our partners to serve targeted third party advertisements or other content. They may attach the information gathered from our App to info gathered from other apps, websites, or via other services, and then build profiles and transfer the info to another provider. For example, we pass advertising IDs to Facebook, and they match it with your Facebook ID, aggregate it and delete the initial identifier. By doing so the other provider may receive or gather information about you and use the information for displaying targeted ads. Advertisers may choose their audience by location, demographics, likes, keywords, age & gender, interests, behaviors, connections and any other information Facebook receives or infers about users. We cooperate with several providers of IBA that are listed herein in subsection a) and in Opt-Out Section of this Privacy Policy (``Third Parties``). When allowing Third Parties to conduct IBA we adhere to the DAA Principles available here http://www.digitaladvertisingalliance.org.

You have an option to opt out from sharing your information and data for the purposes of interest-based advertising at all times. When you opt out, you will not stop receiving ads, they just won`t be based on topics you like, your interest, behavior, demographics, etc. You can opt out by choosing one of the following options (for more information please read the ``Opt Out`` Section of our Privacy Policy):

a) Via third party IBA provider:

If you choose to opt out by following one of the third party IBA provider`s opt out mechanism, you should stop receiving interest-based and targeted ads via the selected IBA provider, but you may continue to receive interest-based or targeted ads through other IBA providers. For opting out from receiving interest-based or targeted ads through all IBA providers, please see opt out options b) and c) below.

b) Via "Do Not Track Settings" in mobile phone:

Turn on "Limit Ad Tracking" on your iOS device or "Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads" on your Android device.

c) Via our Apps:

Choose "Opt Out of IBA" within the settings of our Apps (where available).

INFORMATION AND DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU

If your app is ad-free, you can skip this section.

1. Technical Information and Data

We collect technical data necessary for you to use our App and additional technical data that enables us to maintain and analyze the functioning of the App, to personalize the content of the App, and to display advertisements.

We automatically obtain certain information about your computing device, including:

  • IP address; Country code;
  • IDFAs, IDFVs, Advertising IDs;

  • "do not track" flag;
  • page URL;
  • Iso code of the country set on device;
  • device date;
  • whether Limit Ad is enabled or disabled;

Older versions of our Apps may still obtain information such as UDID number and IMEI number on iOS. If you wish to prevent this, please update the App with the latest version available on App Store.

2. Advertising and Application Usage Information and Data

When you use our Apps, we may collect additional information by using device identifiers that permit identification of your device. Such information is used for advertising and analytics purposes.

The information collected includes:

  • Which advertisements are shown;
  • Length of time an advertisement is visible and the size of the advertisement;
  • Advertisement response (if any), including clicks on ads;
  • Angle of view;
  • Application usage information, (how often you use the app, for how long you use the app, the events that occur within the app, in-app progress, in-app purchases you make and their value, aggregated usage, performance data, lifetime value of user etc.).

3. Classical Personal Information

We do not collect any personal information about you through our Apps, with the sole exception of persistent identifiers (such as IDFA, IDFV, Advertising ID, IP address). Persistent identifiers are identifiers that do not identify you personally but may uniquely identify your device. Some legislation (such as US) may treat such information that uniquely identifies your device as personal information.

We may ask you to submit and we may process other non-personally identifiable information that may be personal to you such as your age range, year of birth and gender, provided that year of birth and gender information is collected solely for users who have passed the age gate in our Apps. We will use such information to personalize the content of the App, and for users who passed the age gate and have not opted out from behavioral advertising we may use such information to display targeted ads. You can opt out from receiving targeted ads by choosing one of the options described in the ``Opt Out`` Section of our Privacy Policy.

When you voluntarily contact us directly, we may collect information about you that you provide us (such as your name and surname, email address). We will use such contact information only for the purpose for which you provided it to us. We will not share this information with third parties.

If you wish to delete your contact information that we received from you when you contacted us, please send an e-mail to admin@kenzieSystems.com and your contact information will be deleted from our database.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

1. In General

We use the information we collect about you/your device to deliver services to you and to operate our business. Such use by us and by our Partners may include:

  • Delivering our services: developing, delivering and improving our products, services, and content, tailoring our products and services, providing software updates and product support, understanding and analyzing trends in connection with usage of the Apps, administering the Apps, and customer communications.
  • Displaying advertisements: displaying third party advertisements in our Apps and showing advertisements for our Apps in other publisher`s apps. Please see more in Advertising Section of this Privacy Policy.
  • Cross-promotion: cross promoting our Apps and services, meaning we may promote one of our Apps while you are playing a different App of ours.
  • Tracking and fraud prevention for advertising purposes: for some of our Apps we use third party services for tracking and fraud prevention for advertising purposes and for privacy compliance purposes. Please see more in Tracking Section of this Privacy Policy.
  • Analytics and research: understanding and analyzing trends in connection with the usage of the Apps, gathering demographic information about our user base, data about where the App was downloaded from. We may also create reports and analysis for the purposes of research or business intelligence, for example to track potential problems or trends with our Apps and services, or to test our new game features and content. We use the data we receive from Third Party Social Network only for internal analytics. For opting out from analytics please visit Opt-Out Section of this Privacy Policy.

2. Game Notifications

We have two types of notifications in our Apps - local and push notifications. Local notifications are contextual and sent from the device, whereas push notifications are sent from the server. Push notifications are never sent to users who identified themselves as under 13. We use such notifications to remind you about your activities within the App. You will receive push notifications only if you are subscribed to such notifications in the App. To unsubscribe, please use the instructions provided below:

  • For iOS: You will be asked to accept or refuse push notifications after an Application is downloaded. If you do not accept, you will not receive push notifications. Please note that if you accept, some mobile phones will allow you to disable push notifications later on by using the settings on your mobile phone. To manage push notifications on your mobile phone please follow these instructions: Open your Settings menu and tap "Notifications"; Find the App; Tap on the icon of App; Manage the "Notifications" option by sliding it OFF or ON.
  • For Android and Windows: After an App is downloaded, you will automatically receive push notifications. You can manage push notifications on your mobile phone by entering the "info screen" on the homepage of the App and choosing the "Settings" option. Here, push notifications can be disabled by unchecking the "Notification" option within the App.

We collect push notification tokens for us to be able to determine whether you are subscribed to push notifications. When you decide to unsubscribe from push notifications, such push notification tokens will be deleted from our database.

For the restriction on the usage of information please see `Children`s Privacy` Section of this Privacy Policy.

3. Survey

We are conducting surveys to improve our services and you may freely decide whether you would like to help us or not.

We may use third party providers for the in-app surveys, and they may place their tags within an App to collect non-personally identifiable data from the device ("Tag Data") solely for the purposes of conducting the survey, such as to collect cross device information to enable the deduplication of audiences across devices. These providers may use the data collected from the survey and Tag Data on anonymized and aggregated basis together with the data from other partners ("Unified Data") to publish syndicated reports on internet behavior and trends. If you wish to opt out from conducting an in-app survey, do not click on the survey button or deny answering the survey questions.

ADVERTISING

If your app is ad-free, you can skip this section.

When you use our Apps, we may display contextual advertisements to you. In order to enable advertising, we allow our advertising partners to collect online identifiers (such as Advertising ID on Android and IDFA on iOS) that might be considered as personal information under some legislations, but they should use it solely for the purposes of contextual advertising. For any other purposes they should use the information solely on anonymized and aggregated basis.

For some territories, we may use and share with our advertising partners technical and advertising and application usage information we collect from you (please see Information and Data We Collect From You Section of this Privacy Policy) to enable our advertising partner to deliver, target and optimize third party advertising in our Apps, so that the advertisements you see are more relevant to you and are based on your app and device usage, online behavior and interests (this is commonly referred to as online behavioral or interest based advertising, i.e. IBA). In addition, we may use and share such information with our advertising partners to target and optimize our advertising and promotions in our and other publisher`s apps.

We will always follow applicable legislation and accepted market practices; thus, we will not use and share information for the purposes of behavioral advertising for users who did not pass the age gate in our Apps and for those who opted-out of IBA. For more information on behavioral advertising and our IBA providers please see Interest-Based Ads Section of this Privacy Policy. For opting out from sharing your information and data for the purposes of behavioral advertising please visit Opt-Out Section of this Privacy Policy.

TRACKING

If your app is ad-free, you can skip this section.

When you use the App, we or third parties operating the advertisement serving technology may use information logged from your device using SDKs, cookies, web beacons and other technologies to ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the App and to calculate the number of unique and repeat views of advertising.

For some of our Apps we use third party tracking and data collection tools from our service providers for the purposes of tracking performance, ad visibility and privacy compliance of third party SDKs in our Apps.

We use third party tracking and data collection tools from our service providers, such as AppsFlyer, for the purposes of measuring performance and optimizing our advertising campaigns, displaying advertisements, conducting analysis to improve our services and for fraud prevention purposes. Such tools may use cookies, APIs, and SDKs in our Apps to enable them to collect and analyze user and device related data and information, such as impressions, clicks, installs or other advertising campaign performance indicators and post-install in-app events.

In addition, our Partners may use their own tracking technologies (including and without limitation: SDKs, cookies, Web beacons, HTTP cache, local shared objects and other technologies) in order to track impressions, clicks, installs or other advertising campaign performance indicators for the purposes of measuring third party advertising campaign performance.

CHILDREN`S PRIVACY

We consider ourselves to be family oriented, however we have decided to voluntarily implement higher child protection standards even though our products and services are not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, with the sole exception of persistent identifiers as described below. If we learn that we have collected personal information other than persistent identifier of a child under the age of 13, we will take all reasonable steps to delete the information as soon as possible. If you become aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at admin@kenzieSystems.com.

To preserve the family-friendly reputation of our Apps, we age-gated some of the features in our Apps, so that they are not available for use by children under 13. The age gate is being conducted after the download of some of our Apps for specific territories to assure the privacy and protection of younger users of our Apps. The features enabling potential collection and sharing of personally identifiable information, except for persistent identifiers, are disabled for device IDs of users who did not pass the age gate. For user`s safety, it is not possible to change the age later on. We do not store the year of birth of users who have identified themselves as below the age of 13 in our Apps, but only the information that their device ID did not pass the age gate.

The only personal information we collect from users who have identified themselves as below the age of 13 for the purposes of offering our services are persistent identifiers (such as device ID, IDFA, IDFV, advertising ID, IP address). Such persistent identifiers are used and shared with third parties solely for providing support for the internal operations meaning to place contextual advertisement (including frequency capping), to authenticate users of or personalize the content on Apps, to maintain or analyze the functioning of the Apps, personalize the content of the App (such as sending push notifications), to perform network communications to protect the security or integrity of the user or the App, to ensure legal or regulatory compliance.

When using the persistent identifiers, we will not contact users under the age of 13, display behavioral advertising to them, nor do any user tracking or profiling. In addition, we strive that all of our advertising partners adhere to the same standards for the collection, usage and disclosure of children`s personal information as we do, but we cannot be responsible if they breach the commitments, they gave to us regarding the collection of information. In case of such breaches, you agree that our liability is limited to the amounts we can receive as indemnification for the breaches from our advertising partner. For any additional questions about third party information disclosure please refer to admin@kenzieSystems.com. We will send push notifications only to users who allow us to do so to reengage them in terms of using the App. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions in section Push Notifications of this Privacy Policy. We strive to ensure that the content of the push notifications will always be family friendly. Push notifications are local, contextual and sent in app only and not from a server or in conjunction with other user information.

IN-APP PURCHASES

Our Apps enable in-app purchases. We do not process payments for in-app purchases nor have access to your credit card information. Payment transactions for in-app purchases are completed through the app store via your app store account. Any post-purchase processes are controlled by the app store and are subject to specific terms of such app store.

SPECIAL PRIVACY FEATURES IN SOME OF OUR APPS

Some of our Apps offer you the option to talk to the virtual character of such Apps. All of our Apps that offer such feature will always ask you for your permission to access the microphone on your device in advance. If you decide to give us the permission, the virtual character will be able to repeat what you say to him. Please note that our Apps do not have a function to record audio, so what you say to the virtual character is not stored on our servers, it is only used by the App to repeat to you in real time. If you decide not to give us the permission to access the microphone on your device, the virtual character will not be able to repeat after you.

Some of our Apps offer you to compete and interact with your Facebook friends, but you need to login with your Facebook account. By doing so, the App will receive your public profile and the list of friends. If you do not want to share the list of friends with the App, you can uncheck the box next to the permission for sharing the list of friends in the notice that appears during the "Log in with Facebook". If you choose to login with Your Facebook account, the App will show Your public profile to your Facebook friends.

Some of our Apps can be played in a single or a multiplayer mode. In a multiplayer mode you can play matches with random players or your Facebook friends. Such Apps will ask you to choose your name. Please do not choose your real name. You can always change your name by going to "Settings" and selecting "Change Name". The name you enter, and your rank will be publicly displayed when playing with random players in a multiplayer mode. To play matches with Your Facebook friends, you need to login with your Facebook account. By doing so, the App will receive your public profile and the list of friends. If you do not want to share the list of friends with the App, you can uncheck the box next to the list. However, you cannot play matches with your Facebook friends without giving the App the permission to share your public profile. If you choose to login with Your Facebook account, the application will show Your public profile when playing with your Facebook friends or random players.

PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We have implemented: reasonable security measures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of the collected information, and to prevent unauthorized access and the use of information contrary to this Privacy Policy. Although we use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that your information remains secure when maintained by us, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

We make good faith efforts to provide you with access to the personal information you provide to us (information associated with your account). You can also request that we correct or delete information if we are not required to retain such information by law or for legitimate business purposes.

We may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, are extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required by local law.

For some of our Apps we may develop in-app deletion request functionality which can be used in addition to the address above.

STORING OF INFORMATION

We store your information for as long as needed to provide you with our services. We may store information longer, but only in a way that it cannot be tracked back to you. We delete the information as soon as we do not need them for providing our services unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable legislation.

Storing might be different depending on the territory of collecting the information and the applicable legislation, but we always strive to store the information only if it is needed for the purposes of providing, improving or personalizing our services.
