Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 Jan, 2024
1. Introduction and General Terms
Appflare ("we", "us", or "our") is dedicated to safeguarding the privacy and security of our users' information. This Privacy Policy applies to all our apps, online services, and other software products (collectively referred to as the "Apps"), as well as our website. This document explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and sharing of personal information.
As the data controller, we comply with all applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy aims to ensure transparency in our data processing activities.
2. Information We Collect About You
User-Provided Information:
We collect information that you provide directly when using the Apps, including your preferences and usage data.
This includes a unique pseudonymous identifier (User ID) and anonymous core information related to your app usage milestones.
Advertising Data:
Our third-party advertising network partners may collect data about your devices, including the make, model, operating system, device properties (screen size, orientation, audio volume, battery), network connection type and speed, IP Address, MAC address, and the unique advertiser ID for Apple or Android devices.
Analytics Information:
Technical data about your usage of the Online Services, including your Device ID, User ID, device operating system & version, device make and model, app use attempts, progression and results, session times, country of your Device, date and source of app download, advertisements viewed and clicked, and identification of crashes and defects.
Third-Party Information:
When accessing our Apps via social media providers, we may collect profile information such as your name, profile picture, and other publicly available data.
3. Purpose of Data Collection
The data collected serves multiple purposes:
To deliver and enhance our Apps, ensuring they function properly and provide an optimal user experience.
To conduct analytics for improving our services and understanding user engagement.
For personalized advertising, ensuring relevant content is presented to our users.
To prevent fraud, ensure compliance with laws, and maintain the integrity of our services.
4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We may share your information with:
Our group members, personnel, suppliers, or subcontractors as needed for service provision.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, we may transfer your information to the involved parties.
Legal and law enforcement agencies when required by law or to protect our legal rights.
5. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We use automated systems for decision-making, such as identifying and addressing cheating in the Apps. Users flagged by these systems have the right to seek human review of the decision.
6. User Rights and Control
You have several rights concerning your personal data:
The right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data held by us.
The right to object to data processing or to restrict processing under certain conditions.
The right to withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions.
The right to data portability, allowing you to obtain and reuse your data for your own purposes across different services.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, typically not exceeding two years from the collection date, unless otherwise required by law.
8. Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under 13, we will delete such information from our records.
9. Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet-based service can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Updates to the Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the Apps and/or post the updated policy on our website.
