This Privacy Policy applies whenever you use our “Services,” which means our games, products, services, content, DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME.com, and/or other domains or websites operated by DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME. It describes how we collect, store, use, disclose, and otherwise process your personal information when providing these Services to you, and your rights and choices concerning your information.

2. Information We Collect and How We Collect It

We’ll collect and store any information that you provide to us, including when you create your account or a player profile.

 

Information You Generate Using Our Services

We’ll collect information about the ways you use and interact with our Services.

 

When you use our Services, we’ll collect information about the ways in which you use and interact with our Services, such as when and for how long you play our games, game features and other players you interact with, purchases you make, progress or levels you achieve, and other gameplay activities.

 

Payment Information

We’ll collect information related to any purchases you make.

 

If you purchase in-game virtual currency or items in a game you play on DAMARSTUDIO’S GAMEgames.com, or any DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME game website, our third-party payment processor will collect the billing and financial information it needs to process your charges. This may include your postal address, e-mail address, and financial information. DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME’s payment processors do not share your financial information, like credit card numbers, with DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME, but they may share non-financial information with us related to your purchases, like your name, billing address, and the items purchased.

 

When you play DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME’s games or access any of our other Services on connected third-party applications or platforms (like Facebook, Apple, Google, or Amazon), any purchases you make will be processed by that third-party application and subject to that third-party application’s terms of service and privacy policy. For these purchases, DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME does not receive your financial information, but may receive non-financial information related to your purchases, like your name, approximate physical location, and the items purchased. The information DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME receives depends on the DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME game you’re playing and the third-party application. DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME’s Terms of Service explain our policies and terms related to charges, billing, third-party credits, and virtual currencies. Please note that purchases of third-party credits or currencies are also subject to those parties’ terms of service and privacy policies.

 

Customer Support Correspondence

We’ll keep a record of any correspondence between us.

 

When you ask for help from our Customer Support team, we will collect and store the contact information you give them (generally, your name and e-mail address), information about your game play or activity on our Services, and your DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME player and/or social network ID number. We will also store the communications you have with our Customer Service team and any additional information in those communications in order to provide support and improve the Services.

 

Information About You That We Get From Connected Third-Party Applications, Including Social Networks

We’ll collect some information from other companies, including social networks, if you access our games through your accounts with those companies or you choose to connect your accounts with those companies to our games.

 

If you play DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME’s games or access any of our other Services on connected third-party applications or connect our Services to any third-party applications, including social networks like Facebook, DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME may receive certain information about you from the provider of the third-party application. The information we receive depends on the DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME game you’re playing, the third-party application, your privacy settings, and, if applicable, your friends’ privacy settings on that third-party application.

 

For example, DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME may collect and store some or all of the following information from the provider of the connected third-party application:

 

your first and last name;

your profile picture or its URL;

your user identification number (like your Facebook ID number), which may be linked to publicly-available information like your name and profile photo;

your friends’ user ID numbers and other public data;

the e-mail address you provided to that third-party application;

your approximate physical location and that of the devices you use to access our Services;

your gender;

your birthday, age, and/or age range;

information about your activities on or through the connected third-party application;

other publicly-available information on the third-party application; and/or

any other information that you or the provider of the third-party application share with DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME.

If you access our Services from a third-party application or connect our Services to a third-party application, you should also read that third-party application’s terms of service and privacy policy.

 

If you are unclear about what information a third-party application is sharing with us, please go to the third-party application to find out more about their privacy practices.

 

Cookies and Other Automated Information Collection

We’ll collect information about your device and how you use our Services, including through the use of cookies. You can find out how to control or opt-out of cookies in our Cookie Notice.

 

As further described in our Cookie Notice, we use cookies and other similar technologies (e.g., beacons, pixel tags, clear gifs, and device identifiers) to recognize you and/or your device(s) on, off, and across different Services and devices. We also allow others to use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Notice.

We, our service providers, and our business partners use these cookies and other similar technologies to collect and analyze certain kinds of technical information, including:

 

IP address;

the type of computer or mobile device you are using;

platform type (like Apple iOS or Android);

your operating system version;

your mobile device’s identifiers, like your MAC Address, Apple Identifier For Advertising (IDFA), and/or Android Advertising ID (AAID);

your browser type and language;

referring and exit pages, and URLs;

the number of clicks on an app feature or web page;

the amount of time spent on an app feature or web page;

domain names;

landing pages;

game state and the date and time of activity on our Services.

In some cases, we will connect the above information with your social network ID or DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME user ID.

 

If you play DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME games on a mobile device, in addition to your device identifiers (described above), we may also collect:

 

the name you have associated with your device;

your country;

your telephone number (if you provide it);

your specific geolocation (with your permission);

If you want to adjust your privacy preferences on your device, please see How to Access, Update, and Manage Your Personal Information.

 

Other Sources

We may collect information from other third-party sources. Where we do, we’ll let you know.

 

We may collect or receive information about you from other sources like third-party information providers. We use this information along with information you provide us directly, for example, to help you and your friends connect or to serve you advertising more tailored to your interests

 

3. How We Use Information We Collect and Our Legal Bases for Processing It

We use your information to provide, personalize, maintain the security of, and improve the Services you use; to maintain our business operations; to communicate with you; to protect you and others; to carry out marketing and advertising; and to exercise, defend or establish our rights.

 

The main use of the information we collect and store is to provide you with the Services you request from us and to improve your gaming experience, but there are other uses as well. The uses for which we collect and store your information include:

 

to improve and optimize our Services and our players’ experiences;

to create your game accounts and allow you to play our games;

to identify and suggest connections with other DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME players and personalize our Services to you;

to communicate with you about the Services you’re using, including in-game updates, new Services, and promotional offers that we think might be of interest to you;

to protect the safety and well-being of our players;

to protect DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME’s rights and property in connection with our Services;

to prevent fraud or potentially illegal activities, and to enforce our Terms of Service;

to manage and deliver contextual and behavioral advertising;

to administer rewards, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, or other promotional activities or events sponsored or managed by us or our business partners;

to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes we may have with you or other players, and to enforce our agreements with third parties; and/or

to conduct research.

If you are located in the European Countries, our legal basis for collecting and using the information described above depends on what the information is and the context in which we collect it.

 

However, we’ll normally collect information from you only where we need it to perform our contract with you (i.e., our Terms of Service), where the processing is in our legitimate interests (provided that these aren’t overridden by your interests or rights), or if we otherwise have your consent.

If we ask you to provide information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, this will normally be clear from the context in which we are asking you to provide your information (for example, when we ask you to provide a username to access our Services, this will be to create an account for you in accordance with our Terms of Service), and, if not, we will provide an explanation to you at the relevant time. We will also make clear whether providing information is mandatory.

 

Similarly, if we collect and use your information in reliance on legitimate interests (or those of any third party) which are not listed above, it will be made clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are (such as personalizing our services and marketing, for example).

 

If you have questions or need further information about the legal bases on which we collect and use your personal information, please Contact Us.

 

 

4. How We Share Information

We’ll share your information with third parties when you use our Services under the circumstances described in this section.

 

We’ll share some of your information with your friends and other DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME players that you’re playing with to facilitate your gaming interactions with them.

 

We may share your information, including personal information, with third parties or allow third parties to collect this information from our Services in the following circumstances:

Friends and Other DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME Players

DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME’s games and Services support and often encourage you to interact with other players. In most DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME games, if you play through a social network or connect to a social network (for example, Facebook), your social network friends who also play a DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME game will see your name, photo, player profile (which may include the information described above in Information About You That You Share With Us Directly), and descriptions of your in-game activity (including any DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME games you have played).

 

In addition, in many DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME games, other players, regardless of whether they are your social network friends, will be able to see your player profile (as described above); view descriptions of your in-game activity; communicate with you within our Services; and send you game requests or friend requests through our Services or the related social network. For example, in DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME Poker, when you are playing at a table, all the other players at the same table can see your player profile and send you an in-game chat message.

 

With Our Group Companies

We’ll share your information with other companies in the DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME group.

 

We may share your personal information within the DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME group of companies to enable the DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME group to carry out the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

 

Third-Party Advertising Including Behavioral Advertising and Analytics

We’ll share some of your information with advertisers to tailor the advertisements you see when you use our Services to your interests and to enable us to offer some of our Services for free.

 

We use advertising to enable us to offer some of our games, game features, and other Services for free. These advertisements may include, without limitation, banner ads on game boards or Services themselves, as full-screen ads between moves or games, or through an “offer wall” in which third-party advertisers offer to provide virtual currency or other in-game items to players in exchange for watching an advertisement or for completing a task, such as signing up for an account with one of the advertisers, completing a survey, or finishing a particular game level. Offer walls are hosted by third-party offer wall providers, and the offers are made by third-party advertisers, not by DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME.

 

We do not actively share personal information that directly identifies you with third-party advertisers for their direct marketing purposes unless you give us your consent.

 

To enable advertisers, ad networks, and offer wall providers to serve you with more relevant ads, they may collect, or we may collect and share with them, the following types of information when you use our Services:

 

performance data (like the number of clicks on an advertisement);

certain technical information (like IP address, non-persistent device identifier such as IDFA, and de-identified persistent device identifier such as a hashed Android ID);

a unique identifier, such as your social network ID or DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME player ID; and/or

other contextual data about your game play (like your level and session length).

In addition to serving you with relevant ads, the information collected may be used to:

 

measure how effective ads are;

offer you targeted advertising (both on and off our Services) in order to personalize your experience by showing you advertisements for products and services that are more likely to appeal to you (a practice known as interest-based advertising or behavioral advertising); and/or

undertake web analytics to analyze traffic and other player activity to improve your experience.

Advertisers or ad networks may collect this information through the use of cookies and other similar tracking technologies, and they may use a single tracking technology or multiple tracking technologies at the same time.

 

Please note, after clicking on a third-party advertisement or offer, you may no longer be on a site or app controlled by DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME or the social network through which you are playing DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME’s games.

 

If you do not want to receive tailored in-application advertisements from third parties, please see How to Access, Update, and Manage Your Personal Information. For more information on controlling the use of cookies and similar technologies, please see our Cookie Notice. Please note that the practices of third-party companies delivering advertisements on our Services are subject to those companies’ own privacy policies.

 

Safety, Security, and Compliance with Law

We’ll share your information if necessary for safety, security, or compliance with law.

 

Your information, and the contents of all of your online communications in our Services and between you and DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME may be accessed and monitored as needed to provide our Service and may be disclosed:

 

to satisfy any laws or regulations that apply;

when we have a good faith belief that we have to disclose the information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including for national security, law enforcement, or legal process purposes (for example, a court order, search warrant, or subpoena);

when we believe in our sole discretion that our Services are being used in committing a crime, including to report such criminal activity or to share information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection, credit risk reduction, and other security precautions;

when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the health and/or safety of you, another person, or the public generally; and/or

to protect the rights or property of DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME or applicable third parties, including to enforce our Terms of Service.

Third-Party Service Providers

We’ll share your information with the third-party service providers and business partners that we work with to bring you our Services.

 

We will share your information with third-party companies who perform services on our behalf, like payment processing, analytics, analysis, hosting services, customer service, marketing, and advertising optimization. We will also share your information with our third-party business partners who assist us in delivering and optimizing our Services, such as our platform partners (Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.). Where we share your information with third-party service providers and business partners, we ensure that we have appropriate agreements in place to protect your information (as required by applicable data protection laws).

 

Sale or Merger

We may share your information with the interested party if we undergo or evaluate undergoing a sale or merger.

 

In the event that DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME undergoes or evaluates undergoing a business transition, like a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part of its assets (like selling a game), we may disclose or transfer all of your information, including personal information, to the successor organization in the transition. We will make reasonable efforts to let you and other players know (in the way described in Changes to Our Privacy Policy) of any such business transitions when they occur.

 

Other Third Parties

We may share some of your information with other third parties if we have your consent to do so.

 

In addition to the sharing described above, we may share your information with other third parties or allow them to collect your information from our Services in some ways not specifically described in this Privacy Policy if we have your consent to do so.

 

5. Privacy Policies of Linked Third-Party Services and Advertisers

Our websites and games may contain advertisements from “Third-Party Services,” meaning companies other than DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME, that may link to their own websites, online services, or mobile applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these Third-Party Services. If you have any questions about how these Third-Party Services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

 

6. Our Policies Concerning Children

We seek to ensure that we do not collect information from children.

 

Generally speaking, most of our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or under 16 for children located in the European Countries) (collectively, “Children”). Children are not permitted to use these Services, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from Children.

 

Though our Services do not target Children as the primary audience, we may collect age information before allowing a user to proceed for certain Services. For users who identify themselves as Children in our age-gate on such Services, if we allow Children to use the Services, we will either provide a version of that Service that does not collect, use, or disclose “personal information” (as defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”)), except as permitted by COPPA, or obtain legally valid parental consent.

 

If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal information that is not subject to a COPPA exception from a Child, we will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that information from our records.

 

7. How Long We Keep Your Information

We’ll keep your information for as long as necessary to provide you with the Services, maintain our legitimate business operations, and/or exercise, defend or establish our rights.

 

How long we retain your personal information depends on why we collected it and how we use it, but we will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements.

 

We will retain personal information about you and connected with your account and/or the Services you use from us for as long as you have an active account with us. We will take reasonable measures to delete this personal information if you delete your account. However, you acknowledge that we may retain some information after you have closed, or we have deleted, your account with us where necessary to enable us to meet our legal obligations or to exercise, defend, or establish our rights.

 

8. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We’ll let you know about any material changes to this Privacy Policy.

 

If we decide to make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will tell you and other players by placing a notice in-game or on www.DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME.com, or by sending you a notice to the e-mail address we have on file for you before the change becomes effective (and we will ask for your consent where required by law). We may supplement this process by placing notices on game blogs, social network pages, and/or player forums. You should periodically check www.DAMARSTUDIO’S GAME.com and this Privacy Policy for updates.
