This privacy statement ("Privacy Statement") elucidates how your personal details are gathered, why they are collected and how they are kept secure. We are committed to fulfilling obligations under all applicable global data privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’), the California Consumer Privacy Act (‘CCPA’), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (‘VCDPA’), the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) (and any provincial substantially similar law as applicable).
a.Personal Information refers to any data about you, regardless of its veracity, where your identity is evident or can reasonably be determined from that information. When anonymous information is directly or indirectly linked with personal information, the resulting data is also regarded as Personal Information. Anonymous information implies data that does not directly or indirectly identify and cannot reasonably be utilized to identify an individual. Aggregate information denotes data about groups or categories of customers that does not identify and cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual customer.
b.We gather two fundamental types of information – Personal Information and anonymous information, and we may utilize personal and anonymous information to create a third type of data, aggregate information.
c.We collect:
Contact particulars such as your first name and last name, email address, residential location and mobile or other telephone numbers;
Personal details such as gender, age, age bracket or your image; account login credentials, including your username, password and pictures associated with your profile;

a.When you interact with our Game, we strive to make that experience straightforward and useful. We and our partners utilize industry-standard identifiers, such as cookies or other comparable technologies.
b.Our Game might employ technologies to enhance your experience. These technologies are small files that are placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone or other devices when you visit a website. They enable us to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with the Game. Usage information may comprise, in part, browser type, operating system, device type, an estimate of your geographical location associated with your IP address, the location of your mobile device, the page served, the time, referring URLs and other information typically transmitted in HTTP requests. This statistical data provides us with information about your utilization of the services, such as general engagement with a page, the kind of content on that page and how long you remain on that page. Usage information is generally non-identifying but if the Organization associates it with you as a specific and identifiable person, the Organization will treat it as Personal Information.
c.The following are instances of these types of technologies:
APIs. APIs function by enabling different types of software to communicate with one another. They make life a great deal easier for programmers and offer a better experience for end users.
Cookies. These are small text files placed in your device browsers to store your preferences. Most browsers permit you to block and delete cookies. However, if you do that, the service might not function properly.
Event tagging. Event tagging enables us to track actions that occur on the Game such as application installations and purchase events. By tracking these events we can view analytics, measure ad performance, and build audiences for ad targeting.
Mobile device identifiers. We may share the advertising identifier associated with your mobile device or tablet (such as the Apple IDFA and Google Advertising ID) with advertisers. It is used to identify your device for internet-based advertising. For instructions for using the advertising choice mechanisms provided by the most popular mobile operating systems, visit the NAI’s Mobile Choices page here.
Pixel tags/web beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded on the Game that gathers information about your engagement on that web page. The use of a pixel allows us to record, for example, that a user has visited a particular web page or clicked on a particular advertisement. We may also include web beacons in e-mails to understand whether messages have been opened, acted upon or forwarded.
