Some of this information may be collected using advertising identifiers, cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further under the heading “Cookies and similar tracking technology”

Information that we obtain from third party sources

We may receive personal information about you from third party sources, like social networking and sign-in services. You can log in to our Services using sign-in services such as Facebook Connect, Apple Game Center or Google account. These services will authenticate your identity and provide you the option to share certain personal information with us. Services like Facebook Connect give you the option to post information about your activities on our Services to your profile page to share with others within your network.

We may collect and record information through the social networking and sign-in services in accordance with the policies and terms of those services. The information we collect when you connect your user account to a sign-in service may include: (i) your name, (ii) your user identification number and/or user name, (iii) locale, city, state and country, (iv) gender, (v) birth date, (vi) email address, (vii) profile picture or its URL, and (viii) the user identification numbers for your friends that are also connected to our Games.

Furthermore, we may offer you the opportunity to invite your contacts from a social networking service (such as your Facebook friends) so that those contacts can be located in our Games and/or you can invite them to join you in our Games. Such contact information will be used only for the purpose of sending communications to the addressee. You or the third party may contact us at support@funrika.com to request the removal of this information from our database to the extent we store any of this information.

Cookies and similar tracking technology

To provide our Games and interest-based advertising, we use advertising identifiers, cookies and similar technologies. This section describes our use of these technologies and how you can manage your preferences.

Advertising identifiers, cookies and similar technologies are used by us to provide our Services to you and in order to collect data from your device. These technologies allow us and our third-party advertising partners to (i) recognise you and your device; (ii) provide interest-based advertising to you; (iii) allow our Services to interact with a third party social network or platform (where you have chosen to allow such interaction); (iv) allow our payment processors to process your payment instructions; and (v) enable us and third parties to provide you with more customized services, for example to provide our Services in the correct language (subject to availability).

Advertising identifiers are non-permanent, non-personal identifiers such as the Android advertising ID and/or Apple’s ID for advertising (IDFA), which are uniquely associated with your device. Similar technologies include cookies on Websites and tracking pixels within ads. These technologies allow companies (including marketers and advertisers) to recognise your device when you use websites and applications.

If you wish to prevent your device’s advertising identifier being used for interest-based advertising, please check the privacy settings of your mobile device and select “limit ad tracking” (Apple iOS) or “opt-out of interest-based ads” (Android). You can also choose to reset your device’s ad identifier from the device settings.

This Privacy Notice does not apply to, and we are not responsible for the data collection practices of these third-party advertisers. Please see more information about these partners under the “With whom do we share your personal information” heading above. You may also see our own advertisements in other games and services. If you click such advertisements and install our Game(s), we may share a device identifier with our partners to verify installs.

How do we keep your personal information secure?

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. Specific measures we use include that only those of our employees, who on behalf of their work are entitled to process personal information, are entitled to use a system containing personal information. Each user has a personal username and password to the system. The information is collected into databases that are protected by firewalls, passwords and other technical measures. The databases and the backup copies are in locked premises and can be accessed only by certain pre-designated persons. We also aim to minimize the personal information that we process, for example, our Games do not require you to register an account with your name and other details. Moreover, we use only advertiser identifiers and other more technical information to recognize players.

International data transfers

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.

Specifically, our data are managed by Google Firebase and Microsoft Playfab (look at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy and https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement) , and our third-party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these countries.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or other similar arrangements (such as the Privacy Shield certification regarding transfers to the United States) for transfers of personal information between us and our third-party service providers and partners located outside the European Union or European Economic Area.

Data retention

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

We are always ready to help you with all matters related to your personal information processed in our Games or Services. You can always contact us by using the contact details provided under the “How to contact us” heading below.

Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
