HOW WE MAY SHARE YOUR INFORMATION TO THIRD-PARTIES

We cannot provide all services necessary for the successful operation of the Apps by Ourselves. We must therefore share collected information with third-parties, including analytics providers, tracking providers, third-party advertising providers and other third-party service providers that support the Apps (collectively referred to as "Partners"). We may share information that can be used to personally identify Your device (e.g. persistent identifiers such as IDFA, IDFV, advertising ID and IP address) for the purposes of delivering our services, displaying advertisements, conducting analysis and research and for measuring Our and Our Partners's advertising campaign performance. We may share such information to:

  • Our Analytics Providers: For some Apps we use third-party analytics such as Google Firebase Analytics for the purposes of delivering Our services, conducting analysis and research. To get more information about how Your data is being collected and processed You can visit the site "How Google uses data when you use our partners sites or apps" located at: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. The device data We share with such providers are encoded. The providers may assign a random ID to these data and they are not able to match it back to You. Third-party analytics providers have the right to process the data in accordance with their privacy policies (http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/#nosharing) and such collection and processing is limited to the disclosure in aggregated manner, for the purposes of showing trends about the use of their services, for advertising services and marketing purposes. We can aggregate the data for benchmarking feature.
  • Third-Party Advertising Partners: Third-party advertising networks assist us in delivering advertising to You that allows us to continue offering the Apps for free or at low cost. Such third-party advertising partners include but are not limited to advertising providers listed in the Advertising section of this Privacy Policy.
  • Advertising Partner's Third-Party Tracking Provider: For some Apps We may allow Our advertising partners to track impressions, clicks, installs or other advertising campaign performance indicators through their tracking providers for the purposes of measuring their advertising campaign performance. For further details please read more in the Tracking section of this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to disclose Your information (including personally identifiable information) in response to law, legal process, litigation, and/ or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside Your country of residence. We may also disclose information about You if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate. We may also disclose information about You if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce Our Terms And Conditions or to protect Our operations, users or user experience. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger or sale We may transfer any and all information (including personally identifiable information) We collect to the relevant third-party.

For any additional questions about third-party information collection please refer to: privacy@heroplot.com.

HOW OUR PARTNERS MAY USE YOUR INFORMATION

We strive to adhere to generally accepted industry practices regarding the collection and usage of information by Our Partners and to limit their usage to the services they provide for us. They adhere to this Privacy Policy, but in some cases We must use their privacy policies.

We strive to commit Our Partners to using the information solely for the purposes as stated in this Privacy Policy. Notwithstanding the above, we cannot guarantee that Our Partners will adhere to the contractual obligations or acceptable business practices. While we strive to protect the information provided to Our Partners, we have no direct control over their use of the collected information and therefore You acknowledge that we are not liable for any third-party privacy breach and that Our liability for any Partner breaches is limited to the amount we are able to receive as indemnification from Our Partners (legal costs exempted).

Some of the Apps allow You to submit content generated in or by the Apps to third-party sites such as YouTube, SnapChat, Facebook and Twitter. These submissions follow the information transfer protocols of such third-parties, which are designed to enable content sharing with such third-parties.

ADVERTISING

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 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 an anonymised and aggregated basis.

TRACKING

When You use the App, We or third-parties operating the advertisement serving technology may use information logged from Your device using 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.

We use third-party tracking and data collection tools from Our service providers, such as AppsFlyer and 24metrics, for the purposes of measuring performance and optimising 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 analyse 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: 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.

THIRD-PARTY SOCIAL NETWORKS

1. Connecting To Third-Party Social Networks

Some of Our Apps use third-party services such as Apple Game Center, YouTube and Facebook. Such Apps enable You to log in to your Third-Party Social Network account to connect to Our App by using the "Log in with", "Connect to" or "Share on" features in our App. By logging in to Your Third-Party Social Network account to connect to Our App or by using the App to share content on such Third-Party Social Network, You are authorising us to collect, store, and use any and all information, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, that You agreed that such Third-Party Social Network could provide to Us through the Application Programming Interfaces ("API"). You authorise Us to do so when You "accept" or "allow" (or similar terms) connection of one of Our Apps to such Third-Party Social Network. The information You allow us to access varies by App, and it is affected by the privacy settings You and Your friends establish on those Third-Party Social Networks. You can control and find out more about these settings at the Third-Party Social Network in question. Please note, Third-Party Social Networks are governed by their own privacy policies, terms and end user agreements and We are not responsible for, and have no control over, the sharing practices or policies of the third-parties that operate those sites.

2. Data We May Access Via Third-Party Social Networks

If You use the "Log in with", "Connect to" or "Share on" features We may access and store some or all of the following information, as allowed by You, Third-Party Social Networks and Your preferences:

  • Basic information from Your public profile, such as Your first name, surname, profile picture, age range, gender, and other public information.
  • Email address, login ID and/ or player identifier string.
  • Other information which is detailed and displayed to You in the notice which appears during the "Log in with" or "Connect to" process.

We may share Your name, profile picture and Your game data (such as moves, App progress and scores) with respect to the applicable App, with Your friends who have also used the "Log in with" or "Connect to" feature in connection with such App or with Your contacts if and only permissions have been and are presently granted to Us by You in the applicable Third-Party Social Media Network account.

The App may further ask You to allow us to post on such Third-Party Social Networks on your behalf (for example, videos created by the App, photos and/ or status updates). Please keep in mind that We will only do that if specifically allowed by You and we will store ID and Your full name for the purposes of User identification. Other information will be merely stored within the App on Your device so that the App will be able to communicate with the Third-Party Social Network directly.

Voice recordings from Apps are not stored by default in Your device. If You grant access to the microphone on Your device to Our App then any interaction (voice recording) between You and the App is still not stored until You opt to store/ save and first grant permission to the App to access Your device media library. Once permission has been granted, You may store/ save Your voice recordings which are only collected and stored within the App itself solely upon Your request.

If You use Third-Party Social Networks to participate in game related activities, including but not limited to participation in leader boards, multi-player games or the downloading and uploading of content, HEROPLOT and its affiliates may also collect, use, store, transmit and publicly display statistical data regarding game play (including scores, rankings and achievements), or identify content that is created and shared by You with other players.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

HEROPLOT is a family-oriented entertainment company and as such We strictly adhere to child protection standards. We do not knowingly nor wish to collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13), with the sole exception of persistent identifiers as described below. If We learn that We have collected personal information other than persistent identifiers 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, We ask that You please contact Us at: privacy@heroplot.com at Your nearest convenience.

In order to preserve the family-friendly reputation of Our Apps, We have age-gated some of the features in our Apps, so that they are not available for use by children under the age of thirteen (13). The age-gate is conducted after the download of some of Our Apps for specific territories in order to assure the privacy and protection of younger Users of our Apps. The features enabling potential collection and sharing of personally identifiable information, with the exception of persistent identifiers, are disabled for device IDs of Users who do not pass the age-gate. For User safety, it is not possible to change the age of the User once submitted later on. We do not store the year of birth of Users who have identified themselves as below the age of thirteen (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 thirteen (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 and personalisation of content and/ or functionalty on Apps, to maintain or analyse the functioning of the Apps, personalise 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 thirteen (13), 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. That said, we cannot be made or held responsible if any advertising partner, either knowingly or unknowingly, breaches the commitments given to Us regarding the collection of information. In the event of such breaches You agree that our liability is limited to the amounts We are able to receive as indemnification for the breaches from Our advertising partner. For the detailed information about disclosure to third-parties please see section How do we share your information and data to third-parties of this Privacy Policy. For additional questions regarding third-party information disclosure please refer to: privacy@heroplot.com.

We will send push notifications only to users who allow us to do so in order to re-engage 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.

Location information is stored to the extent and for the duration necessary for the provision of a value-added service. Cookies, direct marketing and provision of value-added services information (including traffic information used for these purposes) is stored as long as the same is necessary for the provision of these activities, or up to the time when a User opts out from such use in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Access to Personal Information section herein.
