Privacy Policy MatiosGames
Last Updated: November 20, 2023
Welcome! This Privacy Policy explains how MatiosGames (or "we") collects, uses, and shares your
personal information while you play MatiosGames games.
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material
changes to this Privacy
Policy, we will notify you via email if we have your email address on record, or via a notice on
the Websites and/or Games prior to the change becoming eective.
1. What kind of personal information does MatiosGames collect?
We aim to minimize how much personal information we collect from users when they play the
Games or use the Websites. We collect the personal information that you voluntarily provide to
us, but most of our data collection is limited to the following types of data, which do not
identify you personally but may uniquely identify the device you are using to play to the
Games or use the Websites ("Device"). In some countries, this type of data may be considered
as personal information:
"Advertising ID", which means the resettable and unique identifier associated with
your mobile phone or tablet that is used by advertisers for ad tracking.
"Location Information", which means general information about the location from
which you're playing the Games or using the Websites (e.g. IP address, country,
and city).
"Device Information", which means technical information about your Device. When
we refer to Device Information, this means your Device ID, your internet service
provider (ISP), your browser and browser plug-in types, operating system and
operating system version, jailbreak information, network information, the brand
and manufacturer of your Device, the language you've set for your Device, the
version of the Game installed on your Device, and the name of your carrier.
Does MatiosGames Collect My Financial Information When I Make In-App Purchases?
When you make in-app purchases in the Games, we do not collect or have any access to your
name and billing information. This information is collected and stored by your platform (e.g.
Apple's Game Store or Android's Google Play) or your platform's payment processor.
2. Do third parties have access to my personal information?
Yes. Like most companies, we use tools from service providers to help us with various parts of
our business ("Service Providers"), and depending on the service we need, these Service
Providers may have access to your personal information. We also use Service Providers for
hosting, customer support, and mobile and web analytics.
We contractually require all Service Providers to treat your personal information as
confidential information and to only use it for the services we need. However, we do not have
direct control over how Service Providers use your personal information and we cannot
guarantee that our Service Providers will use your personal information as required in our
contract with them. For this reason, we are not responsible for our Service Providers' misuse of
your personal information.
In addition to our Service Providers, our Ad Partners may also have access to your personal
information. We've dedicated a separate section about advertising and our Ad Partners, so
please check that out in Section 5.
3. How long will MatiosGames keep my personal information?
How long we store your personal information will depend on the
4. How is my personal information used for analytics?
As an online business, it is important for us to know how users interact with our Websites and
Games. We and our Service Providers will collect your Location Information, Device
Information, and Advertising IDs so that we can deliver our Game and Website services to our
users, measure, analyze, and improve performance of the Games and Websites, and to
continually update and develop our Games and Websites. For example, we will use this
information to assess the diculty level of Games, fix any bugs or errors in the Games,
evaluate the demographic of our users, and to determine whether or not we need to support
a new Device type for the Games.
5. How is my personal information used for advertising?
A. Ad Partner Technologies
To help us keep our Games running, we show ads in our Games with the help of
third-party advertising partners ("Ad Partners"). We integrate Ad Partners'
technologies into our Games which are then used by the Ad Partners to
determine what kind of ads to display to you.
I. Do Ad Partners Collect My Personal Information?
In order to show you ads that you might interesting and/or relevant
("Targeted Ads"), Ad Partners collect and use your Advertising ID, Location
Information, and Device Information. If location services are enabled in
your Device settings, the Ad Partners may additionally collect your
geolocation information. Because these Ad Partners' technologies control
what kind of personal information is collected from your Device and how it
is used, we encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
II. How to Opt-Out of Receiving Targeted Ads.
If you do not want to receive Targeted Ads on your mobile Device, your
mobile Device may give you the option to opt-out of receiving Targeted Ads
on all apps on your Device. On Android Devices, you may opt-out by
enabling the "Opt out of Ads Personalization" setting. On iOS Devices, you
may opt-out by enabling the "Limit Ad Tracking" setting. In addition, you
may be able to opt-out of receiving Targeted Ads from a specific Ad
Partner. Please note that if you opt-out of receiving Targeted Ads, you will
still receive contextual ads, which are non-targeted ads related to the
content of the Game you are playing.
B. Ads for the Games on Third-Party Websites and/or Apps
In addition to running ads in our Games, we also run ads to promote our Games
in third-party websites and/or apps. When we run our own ads in third-party
websites and/or apps, Service Providers help us optimize and measure
performance of our ads and use their own tracking technologies to track Game
installs and clicks and/or impressions of our ads. In some cases, we will share
your hashed or anonymized Advertising ID with our Ad Partners so that the Ad
Partner can help us market and promote our Games. In these cases, Ad Partners
perform as MatiosGames Service Providers and we contractually require such Ad
Partners to only use your personal information on our behalf.
6. Cookies and similar tracking technologies.
We and our Service Providers use cookies, local storage, e-tags, or similar technologies on the
Websites to conduct analytics as described in Section 4 above and to optimize the Websites'
functionality and performance.
7. How do I unsubscribe from/opt-out of receiving
newsletters?
If you wish to unsubscribe from receiving Newsletters, you can click on the "unsubscribe" link
at the bottom of the email and you will stop receiving Newsletters or for that specific Game
you were subscribed to. Please allow up to 24 hours before you stop receiving Newsletters.
Please note that if you are subscribed to more than one Game mailing list, you will continue to
receive Newsletters for those other Games. You may also continue to receive emails unrelated
to marketing.
8. Third-parties and their privacy policies.
Throughout the Websites, you may see links to third-party websites or applications. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites, and when accessing their sites,
we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
9. Is my personal information secure?
The security of your personal information is important to us. We follow generally accepted
industry standards to protect your information, both during transmission and once it is
received. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic
storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. While no security
system is completely secure, we and our Service Provider stake appropriate security measures
to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure of the information collected by us. For
MatiosGames, this includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that all of your information is
disclosed only on a "need to know" basis and ensuring that all information collected by MatiosGames
is done so via secured connections and protected and encrypted (using secure socket
layer technology, "SSL") by industrial grade security software to guard against unauthorized
access.
10. Sharing your personal information for business/legal
reasons.
A. Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may reorganize
as a business entity, acquire entities, subsidiaries, or business units, or enter into
joint ventures with third-parties. In any of these types of transactions, any
information you provide may be one of the transferred business assets (subject
to any pre-existing privacy notice unless you consent otherwise). In the event that
all or substantially all of our assets are acquired or we merge with a third-party,
your information will likely be one of the transferred assets. You understand and
agree that we reserve the right to transfer any information collected from you in
the case of any such transfer. In such event, we will use reasonable eorts to
notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a
dierent privacy policy.
B. Legal. We may disclose information you provide to respond to subpoenas, court
orders, requests from authorities, and other legal process, and to
establish/exercise our legal rights. We may also disclose your information to
defend against legal claims when we believe that disclosure is necessary to
protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or
respond to a government request. We may share your information in order to
investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud,
and situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person,
violations of our Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
