Privacy Policy
This document explains what data we collect when you play Evochat Network Games' games and how we use that data, so we recommend you to read it before you start to enjoy playing our games. If you have any additional questions about privacy policy after reading this document, you can address them to us via the following email [email protected].
Who we are
We are Evochat Network, the mobile games developer. For any business related matters our main contact address is [email protected].
Data we collect
- Device Identifier
Our game is using the device identifier (ID). The device identifier is
not connected to your personally identifiable information and it is not
associated with any other persistent device identifier without your explicit
consent.
Data we do not collect
- Personal data
If you use our game, we do not require that you provide us with any
personal data, nor do we process the data. You can play the game without logging
in or providing personal information to us. If the device you are using allows
it, we would be able to collect information such as the IP address, browser,
domain name, time of access, and location. This information will be solely used
for analyzing our players' behavior (for example, the number of downloads from
specific geolocation, average time spent in the game).
We do not collect, handle or transmit personal or sensitive data,
including personally identifiable information, authentication information, your
name and address, the phone book or contact data, microphone and camera sensor
data, or sensitive device data. You do not share other sensitive information by
playing our game. So, you can safely use our game, and be sure that by using it,
you cannot be identified. Also, your identity, as well as your personal,
financial, and payment information cannot be violated. We do not store your
data.
Data we collect if you use your Google or Apple account
If you choose the Log-in option and log into a Google or Apple account, we will
collect your name, last name or nickname associated with your account, and email
address. We do not ask for, collect, or store any other type of personal data.
Such data is collected to create your User ID and enhance your user
experience. The advantage of creating the User ID is that you will be able to
save your game progress and achievements. Furthermore, it will enable you to
access our games from different devices without losing your progress and
achievements. Additionally, you will be able to receive in-game rewards such as
coins or similar items. Of course, you can choose to opt out using your Google
or Apple account in our game settings menu at any time.
Your name, last name, nickname, and email address are stored on our
partner's servers, Firebase internal servers. This information is used solely
for the purposes mentioned above. All of our partners, as well as Firebase, are
trusted companies, and we invite you to read their privacy policy, set in the
Data sharing section below.
Although you have the right to submit a request for the deletion of your
data, it is important to know that by deletion, you will lose your User ID and
your accounts, as well as your progress, achievements, and the option to play
the game on different devices.
Data we collect automatically
The following data may be collected and processed automatically:
- Your IP address and mobile device identifiers (such as your device or
advertising ID) if your device allows it,
- Data about your device, such as the device name and operating system,
browser type and language, internet service provider, and mobile carrier,
- Approximate location data (as derived from IP address),
- Data about your account if you had one (some) and game progress,
including, in most cases, an automatically created internal account ID,
- User ID, a generic ID made by Google Play Service or similar services,
- Data from platforms that the games run on,
- Data from payment service providers: order ID, which is a generic
number and it is not personal data, and payment history which includes only the
payments in our game,
- Data to fight fraud (such as refund abuse in games or click fraud in
advertising), and
- If you are a Google Play Games service user we would automatically
collect data about your game progress. The information cannot be traced back to
a specific user nor used to identify you.
Data you might actively provide us with
You don't have to share personal data with us, but if you choose to contact us voluntarily, you may share your name and email address. You can contact us through the in-game Support form or by sending us an email at the main contact address. We will use this information only for the purpose of answering your request. We will not store this information on our servers or transmit it, in any way other than how we treat other correspondence with our clients and business partners. We do not further process any user personal data received during such correspondence, except for particular correspondence or activities derived from it.
Data sharing
The only data we may share with our partners is the device identifier, which
would be shared solely for the purpose of direct marketing, under the legitimate
interest, and with ensuring that such sharing is not done in a manner which is
beyond reasonable and widespread, in a relationship established by you using our
game. Our partners include the ad providers and Google Play Games, a
multi-platform gaming experience built and operated by Google. Some of these
partners may be located in countries outside of the EU, but as stated above, the
only information possibly shared with them is the device identifier, which is
associated solely with your device, and not with your identity or other personal
data in any other way.
As game developers, we cannot influence the use of your device ID by the
aforementioned partners. However, we advise you to check their Privacy Policy
forms and get informed how you can opt out of sharing your data with them. The
list of our partners can be changed from time to time, without updating the
privacy policy document and for the fully updated list of partners, please
contact us at [email protected].
Purpose of data collecting and data sharing
- Location data: approximate location data and IP address are collected and
shared for the purpose of game functionality, analytics, advertising or
marketing, and fighting fraud,
- Personal data: the email address and user IDs are collected and shared
for the purpose of answering your requests and correspondence, game
functionality, analytics, advertising or marketing, security, fighting fraud and
compliance,
- Financial data: purchase history is collected and shared for the
purpose of fighting fraud, game functionality, analytics, advertising or
marketing, security and compliance, and personalization,
- Devices or other IDs are collected and shared for the purpose of
analytics, advertising or marketing, security, personalization, account
management, and fighting fraud and compliance.
How long do we keep your personal data?
In case you decide to share personal data with us, we will keep it only for as
long as necessary for the realization of the aforementioned purpose(s) of the
personal data processing or until a withdrawal of consent for the processing of
the personal data. If consent is the legal basis for personal data processing in
the particular case, we will, in the case of its withdrawal, terminate the
processing upon the respective withdrawal, unless there is another statutory
ground for the particular processing.
Data necessary for game functionality are kept as long as a particular
game is downloaded on your device.
Again, we do not store your personal data on our servers.
Opting out of behaviourally targeted advertising and analytics
If you wish to limit behaviourally targeted advertising, you can do so by limiting ad tracking in your device settings. Please note that opt-outs are specific to each browser and device and it may take a little bit of time before your opt-out will take effect. We also work with a number of ad providers and partners so you might want to get in touch with them in order to limit or completely opt out of personal data sharing and targeted advertising. In the Data Sharing section above, you can find the full list of our partners, together with the links to their privacy policies.
Push Notifications
We may send you push notifications through our mobile applications. You may at any time opt-out from receiving these types of communications by changing the settings on your mobile device.
Users age
In case you are under the age of 13, please contact us immediately using the contact information available below to ensure that appropriate action is taken for the lawful processing of your data.
User rights
You have the right to submit a request for access, correction, or deletion of your data. In case of deletion, you lose your User Ids and your account(s) if you had one (some), as well as the option to use the game on different devices if you had this option. We will gladly and efficiently handle any such request, in full respect of your rights. If you are not satisfied with how your request is handled, in some cases you could be entitled to file a request to the competent authority as well.
