or fulfill our contractual obligations, to protect your rights, or
to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section

when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual
obligations to you, including providing our Services or at your request prior
to entering into a contract with you.
-Legitimate
Interests. We
may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to
achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh
your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process

and display personalized and relevant advertising content for our
users
-Analyze how

In some
exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process
your information without your consent, including, for example:
WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR
PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We may share
information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the
following categories of third parties.
Vendors, Consultants, and Other
Third-Party Service Providers. We
may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors,
or agents ("third parties") who perform services for us or on
our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have
contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard
your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your
personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also
not share your personal information with any organization apart from
us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain
it for the period we instruct. The categories of third parties
we may share personal information with are as follows:
We also may need to share
your personal information in the following situations:
WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY
WEBSITES?
We are not
responsible for the safety of any information that you share with third parties
that we may link to or who advertise on our Services, but are not affiliated
with, our Services.
The Services may link to
third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications and/or contain
advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us and which may
link to other websites, services, or applications. Accordingly, we do not make
any guarantee regarding any such third parties, and we will not be liable for
any loss or damage caused by the use of such third-party websites, services, or
applications. The inclusion of a link towards a third-party website, service,
or application does not imply an endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the
safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected
by third parties is not covered by this privacy notice. We are not responsible
for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third
parties, including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked
to or from the Services. You should review the policies of such third parties
and contact them directly to respond to your questions.
DO WE
USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
We may use cookies and other
tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may
use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to
access or store information. Specific information about how we use such
technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie
Notice.
IS YOUR
INFORMATION TRANSFERRED INTERNATIONALLY?
We may transfer, store, and
process your information in countries other than your own. At this time we do
not have information stored. However, our ad provider may do this.
If you
are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK), then
these countries may not necessarily have data protection laws or other similar
laws as comprehensive as those in your country. However, we will take all
necessary measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this
privacy notice and applicable law.
HOW
LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
We keep your information for as
long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy
notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will
only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the
purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is
required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal
requirements).
When we
have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information,
we will either delete or anonymize such
information, 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.
HOW DO
WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
We aim to protect your personal
information through a system of organizational and technical security
measures.
We have
implemented appropriate and reasonable technical
and organizational security measures designed to protect the security
of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and
efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the
Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure,
so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or
other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our
security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission
of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You
should only access the Services within a secure environment.
DO WE
COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
We do not knowingly collect data
from or market to children under 18 years of age.

parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of
the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18
years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take
reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.
WHAT
ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In some regions, such as the
European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), and Canada, you have rights
that allow you greater access to and control over your personal
information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any
time.
In some
regions (like the EEA, UK, and Canada), you have certain rights under
applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal

processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data
portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to
the processing of your personal information. We will consider and act upon any
request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on
your consent to process your personal information, which may be express
and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right
to withdraw your consent at any time. However, please note that this will
not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal
nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of
your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other
than consent.
Cookies
and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to
accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your
browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove
cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of
our Services.
CONTROLS
FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most
web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include
a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal
your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities
monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard
for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.
As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other
mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online.
If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future,
we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy
notice. You may also use the App Tracking mechanism on Apple devices.
DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC
PRIVACY RIGHTS?
Yes, if you
are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access
to your personal information.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83,
also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our users
who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and
free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any)
we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and

otherwise stated in the following sections, data will be processed on the
servers of technical service providers commissioned by us for this purpose.
These service providers will only process the data after having received
express instructions and they are contractually obliged to guarantee adequate
technical and organizational measures for data protection. Insofar as we refer
to integrated services of other providers in this Data Protection Declaration,
it can be assumed that personal data will be transmitted to the specified
headquarters of these providers. These providers may be based in a so-called
third country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Further
information can be found in the sections describing each service.
DATA COLLECTION DURING DOWNLOADING
When
downloading the app, no information is actively transferred by us to the app
store involved (Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon App Store, Samsung App
Store, etc.). If you want to know what data is collected and processed by a
given app store during the downloading process, please consult their privacy
policy. We have no control over any data collection by app stores.
ACCESS RIGHTS OF THIS APP
This
app requires various access permissions from your device. These are required to
maintain certain functionality of our apps. For example, if you only want to
download updates using a wireless connection, the app needs access to your
wireless connection. If you would like to purchase additional content via the
app, we may need access to the interface required for your app store. Another
example is what is referred to as “push notifications”, in which we can use an
interface to display a message directly on your device. The access permissions
on your mobile device are dependent on the operating system (e.g. Android, iOS, etc.) and the store where the app was purchased (e.g.
Google Play Store, Apple App Store, Amazon, etc.). As a rule, you will receive
information prior to the installation as to which access permissions are
required by our app.
REGISTRATION AND LOGIN
At
this time there are no registration and login requirements for these apps.
DATA PROCESSING IN OUR GAMES
We
do not track, collect or process data from the game itself.
PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH OUR APP
In
principle, you can enjoy our games without having to provide personal contact
data. If you pay for chargeable activities in our games, your personal data
will be collected by the corresponding payment service providers listed. All
payment-relevant data, such as your contact and payment data,
are initially collected and processed by the corresponding payment provider.
PROCESSING APP LOG FILES
If
you use our services, general information (that is not used on a individual basis) is initially
stored automatically, i.e. not through registration. For example, our web
servers normally store the following information: IP, Device ID, Device Type,
OS, time of the server request. The processing is carried out for the purposes
of our legitimate interests, the legal basis of which is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. This processing is
used for technical administration and the security within the app.
COMBATING FRAUD
We
may process pseudonymous information, such as the IP address or device ID, for
the analysis of signals in order to identify fraud by third parties in the context
of customer acquisition. To accomplish this, we are supported by external
service providers whom we have ensured are committed to the same statutory
requirements.
GOOGLE MARKETING SERVICES
On
our app we use the marketing and re-marketing services of Google Inc. (1600
Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). These services
allow us to display advertisements in a more targeted manner in order to
present advertisements of interest to users. Through remarketing ads and
products are displayed to users relating to an interest established by activity
on other apps within the Google Network. For these purposes, a code is used by
Google when our app is accessed and what are referred to as (re)marketing tags
are incorporated into the app. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a
small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technologies may also be
used instead of cookies). Cookies can be set by various domains, including
google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com
or googleadservices.com. This file records which apps users have visited, which
content they are interested in and which offers have been used. In addition,
technical information about the browser and operating system, referring apps,
the length of the visit as well as any additional data about the use of the
online products and services are stored. The IP address of users is also
recorded, although we would like inform you that within the framework of Google
Analytics, IP addresses within Member States of the European Union or in other
contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area are
truncated.
All
user data will only be processed as pseudonymous data. Google does not store
any names or e-mail addresses. All displayed ads are therefore not displayed
specifically for a person, but for the owner of the cookie. This information is
collected by Google and transmitted to and stored by servers in the USA. One of
the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising program Google AdMob. In the case of Google AdMob,
each AdMob customer receives a different conversion
cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked through the apps of AdMob customers. The information collected by the cookie is
used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords
customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdMob
customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were
redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not
receive any information that personally identifies users. We may include
third-party advertisements based on the Google Marketing Service called
DoubleClick. DoubleClick uses cookies to enable Google and its partner apps to
place ads based on users’ visits to this app or other apps on the Internet. Google
services make use of Google’s Tag Manager. For more information about Google’s
use of data for marketing purposes, please see the summary page:
https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google’s privacy policy is
available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy
GOOGLE
SDK (FIREBASE ANALYTICS)
We
use the developer platform called “Google Firebase” as well as the associated
functions and services of Google Inc, 1600
Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (“Google”).
Google Firebase is a platform for developing apps for mobile devices and
websites. Google Firebase offers a variety of features, which are can be found
on the following summary page: https://firebase.google.com/products/
The
functions include the storage of apps, including users’ personal data, such as
content they have created or information regarding their interaction with the
apps. Google Firebase also offers interfaces that allow interaction between the
users of the app and other services. The analysis of user interactions is
carried out using the analysis service of Firebase Analytics. This service
helps us to record our users’ interactions. Events such as the first time an
app is opened, the uninstalling of an app, updates, crashes or the frequency of
use of the app are recorded. Certain user interests are also recorded and
evaluated. The information processed by Google Firebase may be used with other
Google services, such as Google Analytics and Google marketing services. In
this case, only pseudonymous information, such as the Android Advertising ID or
the Advertising Identifier for iOS, will be processed
to identify users’ mobile devices. Additional information on the use of data
for marketing purposes by Google can be found on the summary page:
https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google’s privacy policy is
available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. The legal basis for use
is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. If
users wish to object to interest-based advertising through Google marketing
services, they can use the settings and opt-out options provided by Google:
http://www.google.com/ads/preferences. Google is certified under the Privacy
Shield Agreement and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection
legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
ADVERTISING IN APPS
Our
mobile apps allow you to view video sequences from third‑party providers funded through advertising. This allows paid
content, for example, to be used free of charge. Viewing the videos is
voluntary, and must be actively confirmed by you, the user. The advertising
displayed through our partners is either personalized or non-personalized
(context-related). The data you provide when using advertising media is
collected and analyzed, which will be explained in more detail below. The legal
basis for the processing is our legitimate financial interests (Art. 6
paragraph 1 letter f GDPR). You can deactivate personalized advertising in the
settings of your mobile device. In order to do this, please follow the
instructions below:

Unity
Ads
Unity
Ads (a service of Unity Technologies, 30 3rd Street, San Francisco, CA 94103,
United States) is another advertising partner that plays video ad sequences.
Unity operates under its own responsibility and offers both personalized and
context-related advertising. Unity’s Privacy Policy explains the scope of the
data processing: https://unity3d.com/de/legal/privacy-policy. Specific
information on privacy and opting out of personalized advertising is also
displayed transparently in the video player.
Facebook
Ads
In
order to display personalized video ad sequences, we have also integrated the
Facebook Audience Network SDK (Facebook Ads). Facebook operates under its own
responsibility and offers comprehensive information on the legal basis for the
data processing and its ad settings on its own information page:
https://www.facebook.com/about/ads. As a Facebook user, you can switch off
personalized advertising on third-party sites in the settings.
