Privacy Policy & Terms of Service

Gaminum LTD (“Gaminum”) is interested in protecting the privacy of its users (“users” or “you”). In this Privacy Policy, “Gaminum” refers to Gaminum LTD and its “Affiliates”,
which shall mean subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership. We may also refer to Gaminum as “we” or “us”. This Privacy Policy has been created to inform you about how Gaminum manages, collects, stores, uses and protects the information you provide in connection with any Gaminum game or application (“Service”). Also, this Privacy Policy describes how you can access and update that information. Please note that the scope of this Privacy Policy is limited only to the information collected by Gaminum through your use of a Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Gaminum may amend the Privacy Policy from time to time, and Gaminum encourages you to consult the Privacy Policy regularly for changes.
Gaminum’s primary objective in collecting user information is to provide and enhance its Services, and to enable users to enjoy its Services. When you install any of its Services, Gaminum may collect and record the information you provide to Gaminum, whether through the Services themselves, or through social networks or other third party services (“Account Information”). We may collect information about you directly from you and from third parties, as well as automatically through your use of our Site, Applications or Services. Information We Collect Directly From You and As You Play Our Games and Information We Collect About You From Facebook, or Google or other platform. You have choices about the data we collect. When you are asked to provide personal data, you may decline. But if you choose not to provide the data that is necessary to provide a product or feature, you may not be able to use that product or feature. The data we collect depends on the context of your interactions with Gaminum, the choices you make, including your privacy settings, and the products and features you use. When you log into our mobile application through your relevant account, you will be asked to enter your relevant email address and password. Facebook or Google controls the information collected from you during the log-in process; Gaminum does not control the information that Facebook or Google collects from you. When you use any of our Applications (whether our mobile application or if you access our Facebook or Google application), we will collect the following information: (i) access and collect your Facebook or Google basic information (this includes your name, profile picture, gender, networks, user IDs, list of friends, date of birth, email address, and any other information you have set to public on your Facebook or Google account); (ii) send you email; (iii) post to your Wall; (iv) access posts in your news feed; and (v) access your Facebook or Google data at any time even if you are not using Facebook or Google. Please note, if you allow Gaminum to have access to this information, then Gaminum will have access to this information even if you have chosen not to make that information public. For information about how Facebook or Google or other platforms may disclose your information, including any information you make public, please consult the Facebook or Google or other platform Privacy Policy. We have no control over how Facebook or Google or other platforms use or disclose the personal information you provide to it. We store the information that we receive from Facebook or Google, or other platforms along with other information that we collect from you or receive about you. We also collect information you provide to us and the content of messages you send to us, such as the feedback and product reviews you write, or questions and information you provide for customer support. When you contact us, such as for customer support, phone conversations or chat sessions with our representatives may be monitored and recorded. Information We Collect Automatically. Cookies. Like many websites, Gaminum may use “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer’s hard disk or your mobile device for record-keeping purposes. The Service may send cookies to a computer or a mobile device when a user accesses or views a Service. Information contained in a cookie may be linked to personal information for purposes such as improving the quality of Gaminum’s service, tailoring recommendations to interests, and making the Service easier to use. Third party advertisers on the Services may also place or read cookies on your browser. Cookies can be disabled at any time by changing your web browser’s options to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions or functionalities of a Service. Gaminum PROVIDES INFORMATION ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES. The information types collected in accordance with a Service may vary depending on the activity, and may include:
Your name;
Your social network or third party service user identification number;
Your mobile device’s unique identifier (UDID);
Transaction identifiers for purchases;
Your email address;
Your profile picture; or
Any other relevant information included in your application, social network or other online profile. Additionally, Gaminum may acquire information from you through:
Your access and participation in message boards on a Service;
The contents of your Customer Support requests; or
Your purchase of a virtual product of any type. Please note that because a third party site manages the purchases of virtual goods offered by the Service, Gaminum does not have access to your credit card details or any other billing information. Gaminum may collect information about your use of its Service both in the course of game play and software usage. Gaminum may also invite you to share information about yourself, which may include but is not limited to: Your age or date of birth;
Your gender;
Information about the hardware you may own;
Your favorite websites, friend information and fan pages; or
Any other information included in your application, social network or other online profile.
Other information Gaminum may collect includes your language, zip code, area code, location, and the time zone where a Service is used, as well as information about your computer, mobile device, software, platform, incident data, Internet Protocol (IP) address, network Media Access Control (MAC) address and connection, browser type, browser language, referring pages, exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time of this activity, so that Gaminum can better understand customer behavior and improve its products, services, and advertising. The Service may also record game play information such as your game session duration or your high scores. In addition to the information collected as described above, you may choose to share additional information about yourself throughout the Service, such as on message boards and in games. Any actions you perform with other players are considered public, and are solely at your discretion. If non-Personal Information is collected for an activity that also requires personal information, Gaminum may combine your non-personal information with your personal information in an attempt to provide you with a better user experience, to improve the value and quality of the Services, and to analyze how its Services are used. Gaminum may also receive either non-personal or public information from third parties in connection with market and demographic studies and/or data that Gaminum may use to supplement personal information provided directly by you. Payment Information
For Gaminum’s policy regarding the purchase of “virtual items”, “coins” or other “virtual currency”, please see Gaminum’s Terms of Service. When you play Gaminum’s games or access any of our other Services on connected third-party applications or platforms (like Facebook, Apple, Google, etc), any purchases you make will be processed by that third-party application and subject to that third-party application’s terms of service and privacy policy. For these purchases, Gaminum does not receive your financial information, but may receive non-financial information related to your purchases, like your name, approximate physical location, and the items purchased. The information Gaminum receives depends on the Gaminum game you’re playing and the third-party application. Customer Support Correspondence
When you ask for help from our Customer Support team, we may collect and store the contact information you give them (i.e, your name and e-mail address), information about your gameplay or activity on our Services, and your social network or service user identification number (if any). We will also store the communications you have with our Customer Support team and any additional information in those communications in order to provide support and improve the Services. Use of Your Information
How Gaminum Uses Your Information
Gaminum uses your information to fulfill your specific requests, purchase orders, and to send you purchase confirmation and other account-related information. In carrying out these purposes, we combine the data we collect to give you a more personalized experience. However, to enhance privacy, we have built in technological and procedural safeguards designed to prevent certain data combinations. For example, we store data we collect from you when you are unauthenticated (not signed in) separately from any account information that directly identifies you, such as your name, email address or phone number. In addition, the personal information you provide will allow Gaminum to send you messages regarding, amongst other things, new products, features, enhancements, special offers, upgrade opportunities, contests and events of interest. You may also later opt out of certain of these communications. Gaminum may also use personal and non-personal information, both individually and combined together, to better understand the behavior and preferences of its customers, to troubleshoot technical problems, to serve static and dynamic advertising, to enforce its Terms of Service, to ensure proper functioning of its products and services, as well as to help improve Services and their content. In addition, Gaminum may combine non-personal information with personal information, such as an email address, to administer loyalty programs, tailor its offerings, web pages or gameplay experience to you. By use of friend finder tools, whether directly through the Service or through a social network or gaming service, you acknowledge that use of these friend finder tools will help you find your contacts and will also allow your contacts to associate your Service account (and related gaming entitlements, including games played, spins and coins) with your social networking profile and/or email address. Your resulting friends’ list will be subject to this privacy policy. If you choose to use a referral service to “tell a friend” about a Service, Gaminum may ask you for your friend’s name and email address. Gaminum will send your friend an email on your behalf or a text message inviting him or her to visit the relevant site or check out the Service. Gaminum stores your friend’s name and email for a short period for the sole purpose of sending this email, and for redundancy checking, to be sure that your friend does not receive multiple copies of the same email message. Gaminum does not keep or use this information for any other purpose. If you enter into a sweepstake, contest, or similar promotion, Gaminum may use the information you provide to administer those programs. Your participation in tournaments or other online gaming events is conditional upon you granting Gaminum permission to collect, use, store, transmit and publicly display statistical data, such as your scores, rankings and achievements, generated through your participation. In all cases of data access and collection, the information you provide will not be disclosed, rented, loaned, leased, sold, or otherwise voluntarily distributed to unaffiliated third parties, and will be used solely for the purpose of providing you with and improving the Service and for any other purpose stated herein. Gaminum will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you wish to cancel your account or request that Gaminum no longer uses your information, contact Gaminum at the email address provided in the Contact Us section below. Note that there may be instances where Gaminum is legally required to retain your information. Access through Social Network Services or Mobile Devices
By accessing the Service through a social network, mobile device or other third party platform or service, or by connecting to such a third party network, platform or service via a Service, you are authorizing Gaminum to collect, store, and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy any and all information that you agreed that the social network, mobile device or other third party platform could provide to Gaminum through the social network/mobile device/third party platform Application Programming Interface (API) based on your settings on the third party social network, mobile device or platform. Your agreement takes place when you connect with the third party network, platform or service via the Service, and/or when you connect with a Service, or “accept” or “allow” (or similar terms) a Service to access your information through a social network, mobile device or other third party platform or service. Gaminum may also collect or receive information about you from other Service users who choose to upload their email contacts. This information will be stored by Gaminum and used primarily to help you and your friends connect. If you play Gaminum’s games on your mobile device, in addition to your device identifiers, we may also collect: the name you have associated with your device;
your telephone number;
your country;
your specific geolocation;
your mobile contacts;
information about Gaminum and other third-party apps you have on your device.
If you want to remove your contacts stored by us, follow the instructions provided in the game to request that we remove them from our systems. If you need to enter a password to allow us to access your address book, we will not store that password. Third Party Service Providers
Gaminum may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate its Services, to provide the Services on its behalf, to perform tasks (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, web analytics and improvement of the Services, etc.), or to assist Gaminum in analyzing how its Services are used. From time to time, Gaminum employs third party contractors to collect personal information on its behalf to provide email delivery, product, prize or promotional fulfillment, contest administration, or other services through the Service. When requesting these services, you may be asked to supply your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address to its contractors. Gaminum may ask some third-party contractors, such as credit agencies, data analytics or market research firms, to supplement the personal information that you provide to Gaminum for its own marketing and demographic studies, so that Gaminum can consistently improve its sites and related advertising to better meet its visitors’ needs and preferences. To enrich its understanding of individual customers, Gaminum may tie this information to the information you provide to it. If you access our Services from a third-party application or connect our Services to a third-party application, you should also read that third-party application’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Message Boards and Chat Rooms
Note that certain information you post and communicate through a Service or a third party site or service is public information for which you have no expectation of privacy. You may choose to disclose information about yourself in the course of contributing user generated content to Gaminum sites or Services or in its chat rooms, blogs, message boards, user “profiles” for public view, or in similar forums on its sites through mobile services and/or through third party sites or services. Information that you disclose in any of these forums is public information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality. You should be aware that any personally identifiable information you submit in the course of these public activities can be read, collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. Please see Gaminum’s Terms of Service or the Application End User License Agreement at Terms of Service (as applicable) on this point, and for other guidelines about posting content through any Service. Information You Generate Using Our Communication Channels
You may be able to take part in certain activities on our Service that let you communicate or share information not just with Gaminum , but also with other Gaminum’s players. These include: participating in player forums and message boards;
posting public comments to other players’ profiles or gameboards;
sending private messages or invitations to other players, either directly on our websites or to their e-mail accounts; chatting with other players;
You acknowledge and expressly agree that we may access in real-time, record, remove and/or store archives of these communications, comments, photos and drawings on Gaminum’s servers to make use of them to protect the safety and well-being of our players and Gaminum’s rights and property in connection with Gaminum’s Services; to conduct research; to operate, improve, personalize and optimize our Services and our players’ experiences, including through the use of analytics; and to manage and deliver contextual advertising. Browser Use
Note that in the ordinary course of Internet activity, certain information may be sent from your browser to third parties such as advertising networks and analytics companies. Gaminum has no control over the information sent from your browser to those networks or other third parties and recommends that you ensure that your browser settings prevent the disclosure of information you would not like to share. Reasons We Share Personal Data
We share your personal data with your consent, or as necessary, to complete any transaction or provide any product you have requested or authorized. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share the payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction. In addition, we share personal data among Gaminum -controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share personal data with vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement. For example, companies we have hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal data to provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose. We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets. Finally, we will access, transfer, disclose, and preserve personal data, when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to: comply with applicable law or respond to a valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies; protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of our products, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone; operate and maintain the security of our products, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks. Please note that some of our products include links to products of third parties whose privacy practices differ from Gaminum’s. If you provide personal data to any of those products, your data is governed by their privacy statements. Disclosure of Your Personal Information
You understand and agree that Gaminum may be required to disclose any personal information if required to do so by law, or in the belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to avoid liability, to comply with legal process, including, but not limited to a subpoena, statute, search warrant, or court order, or to protect the property and rights of Gaminum or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity Gaminum may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable. Note that Gaminum is not required to question or contest the validity of any search warrant, subpoena or other similar governmental request that it may receive. Gaminum may also disclose information about you if it determines that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce the terms and conditions of the Service or to protect its operations or users. We will share your information with third party companies to perform services on our behalf, like processing payments, analyzing data, optimizing game play, e-mail delivery, hosting services, customer service and to help us in our marketing efforts, including managing and delivering contextual and tailored advertisements. We contractually require these third party service providers to maintain the confidentiality of the information we share with them, and we contractually require them not use your information for anything other than to provide services on our behalf. Additionally, Gaminum may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy. In the event that Gaminum undergoes a business transition, like a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part its assets (like selling a game), we may transfer all of your information, including personal information, to the successor organization in the transition. We will make reasonable efforts to let you and other players know of the business transition before transferring your personal information. In addition, we will share your information (which may include personal information) with third parties or allow third parties to collect this information from our Services in the following circumstances: Your consent
With your consent, we may share your information with third parties or allow them to collect your information from our Services in some ways not specifically described in this Privacy Policy. Friends and Other Players
The Service supports and often encourages you to interact with other players. If you play through a social network or register through a social network, your social network friends will see your name, profile photo and descriptions of your game activity. Similarly, other players, regardless of whether they are your social network friends or not, will be able to see descriptions of your game activity, communicate with you within our Services, and view your game profile, which may include your name or a “game name” and your profile photo. Other players may also be able to send you game requests or even friend requests. Third Party Advertising Including Tailored Advertising and Analytics
We do not actively share personal information with third party advertisers for their direct marketing purposes unless you give us your consent. When advertisers or ad networks place ads in our Services, they may collect or we may share the following types of information from within our Services: performance data (e.g. number of clicks on an advertisement);
information about you and other players collectively that is not intended to specifically identify you (like players between the ages of 25 and 30 living in Los Angeles); certain technical information (for example, IP addresses);
your social network ID;
and other contextual data about your game play (for instance, your level). The information collected may be used to:
offer targeted advertising (behavioral advertising), and/or
undertake web analytics.
Advertisers or ad networks may collect this information through the use of tracking technologies like browser cookies and web beacons, and they may use a single tracking technology or multiple tracking technologies at the same time. Please note, after clicking on a third party advertisement, you may no longer be on a site hosted by Gaminum or the social network through which you are playing Gaminum games. If you do not want to receive tailored in-application advertisements from third parties, please see the section regarding Changing or Deleting Your Information of Privacy Policy. How to Access & Control Your Personal Data
You can view, edit, or delete your personal data for Gaminum’s games. You can access and control your personal data by writing to support from the game. You can also always contact Gaminum by [email protected] To the extent permitted by applicable data protection laws, the response period to your request may be extended where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of the requests. In some cases, Gaminum may ask you to submit additional information (for example, your first name, last name, your social network ID for the social network from which you access our Services, etc.) in order to identify you as the user of Gaminum’s Service and data subject before responding to your requests. We respond to data protection requests we receive in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Changing or Deleting Your Information
If you want to delete, change or restrict access to your personal information, please contact Gaminum and we will attempt to accommodate your request if it is not legally obligated to retain the record. You can request the deletion of your Account Information by dissociating or removing the Gaminum application from your social network or third party service account in accordance with the instructions provided by the social network or third party service. Manage Information We get from a Third-Party Application
To manage the information Gaminum receives about you from a third-party application where you play our games, like Facebook, you will need to follow the instructions for the third-party application for updating your information and changing your privacy settings. To review and update information associated with your Gaminum game profile in certain games, visit the “settings” page in that game. You also can manage some aspects of information collection and use by visiting the “settings” page of your mobile device and reviewing the permissions of each application or “app.” Once Gaminum receives your information from a third-party application or your mobile device, that information is stored and used by Gaminum in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You may access and update that information as described herein. Opting Out of Geolocation
If you have previously allowed us to access your geolocation data, you can stop making geolocation available to us by visiting your mobile device’s settings for the relevant application or the “settings” page for the relevant game. Opting Out of Promotional Emails from Gaminum
If you want to stop receiving promotional e-mails from Gaminum, click on the “unsubscribe” link in any promotional email from Gaminum. Please note that once we receive your request, it may take an additional period of time for your opt-out to become effective. Opting Out of Other Communications
When you install our apps on your mobile device you can choose to receive push notifications, which are messages an app sends you on your mobile device even when the app is not on. You can turn off notifications by visiting your mobile device’s “settings” page. Opting Out of Third-Party Tailored Advertising
If you are interested in more information about tailored advertising and your choices to prevent third parties from delivering tailored web and mobile web advertising, you may visit the following websites: Network Advertising Initiative Consumer Opt-Out Page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out Page for U.S.-based advertising; and Your Online Choices UK website for EU-based advertising.
These opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Gaminum. Gaminum does not control or operate these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools. In addition, if you do not want to receive tailored in-application advertisements from third parties that relate to your interests in apps on your mobile device, you may opt-out by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your device. You can also reset the “Advertising Identifier” (like an IDFA) from your mobile device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to the previous “Advertising Identifier.” Further, depending on the platform provider (such as Apple or Google), you may be able to download apps, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “AppChoices” app, that offer to provide you with control regarding the collection and use of cross-app data for tailored advertising. Like the opt-out tools mentioned above for web, these mobile opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Gaminum . Gaminum does not control or operate these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools. Please note that you may still receive advertisements from third parties within Gaminum’s games even if you opt out of tailored advertising but they will not be based on your activity across unrelated web sites or apps. Opting Out of Cookie Tracking
You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer or limit the type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit the Adobe website and make changes at the Global Privacy Settings Panel. If you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of our Services because Gaminum cookies are necessary to track and enhance your game activities. Links
The Service may contain links to other websites or applications. The fact that the Service links to a website or application, or presents a banner ad or other type of advertisement does not mean that Gaminum endorses or authorizes that third party, nor is it a representation of any affiliation with that third party. If you click on a link to a third-party site or application, including on an advertisement, you will leave the Gaminum site you are visiting or application you are running, and will go to the site or application linked to. These third party websites and applications may place their own cookies or other files on your computer or mobile device, and may collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other sites and applications follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. Because Gaminum cannot control the activities of third parties, it cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personal information by such third parties, and it cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy and security practices as Gaminum. You are therefore encouraged to read the privacy policies or statements of other websites and applications you visit before providing any personal information. Security
Gaminum has made reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, Gaminum cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to overcome those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. Also please note that email and messaging systems are not considered secure, so Gaminum discourages you from sending Gaminum personal information through these media. Data breaches which may pose a risk to individuals will be notified to the DPA (competent data protection authority) within 72 hours, and to affected individuals without undue delay. International Operations and Transfers Out of the EEA
IMPORTANT: When you use Our Services, your data may be sent to the United States and possibly other countries. If you don’t live in the United States, Gaminum will control your personal data. As part of our international operations, we may transfer data to our Affiliates (which means subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership with Gaminum LTD from time to time for our legitimate business purposes. For example, Gaminum LTD provides certain services to its Affiliates. We may store information about players and visitors to its sites on servers located in the United States, and we may also store this information on servers and equipment in other countries. Personal data collected within the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) and Switzerland may be processed and controlled in the EEA or in other countries in accordance with applicable privacy laws. The data we hold may also be processed by employees operating outside of the EEA who work for us or one of our Affiliates, or for one of our vendors. This staff may be engaged in, among other things, (i) the processing of transactions and your payment details and (ii) the provision of support services. When we transfer your personal information internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely, lawfully, and in the manner we describe here. Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and so the privacy laws applicable to the places where your information is transferred to or stored, used or processed in, may be different from the privacy laws applicable to the place where you are resident. If you are a resident in a jurisdiction, where transfer of your personal information to another jurisdiction requires your consent, then you provide us your express and unambiguous consent to such transfer for us to provide you with our Services. If you are a user located in the EEA or Switzerland, you have certain rights regarding your personal information, subject to local law. Unless otherwise provided, these include the following data protection rights to: access your personal information, rectify the information we hold about you, erase your personal information, restrict our use of your personal information, object to our use of your personal information, request portability of your personal information, lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. You can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal information. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent. If you have any problems or would like to exercise any of your rights, you can contact Gaminum at the email address provided in the Contact Us section below. We respond to data protection requests we receive in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. Children Policy
Unless written otherwise, you may not use our Services if you are under 13 years of age (or under 16 years of age, if you are located in the EEA and Switzerland, or under the age of majority where you are located) (collectively, “Children”), in which case you must not use any of our Services, or submit personal information in the Services or to Gaminum (for example, your name, address, telephone number, or email address). Gaminum does not knowingly collect personal information from Children. Children may not register for an account or provide any personal information to Gaminum. Gaminum respects the privacy of parents and Children, and is committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). If a parent believes that his or her Child has submitted personal information to Gaminum, he or she can contact us via email: [email protected] If Gaminum learns that a Child has provided it with personal information, Gaminum will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible. We recognize the importance of safeguarding the privacy of Children, and encourage parents to check and monitor their children’s use of online activities regularly. By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you are a person who is over the minimum legal age to consent to the collection and processing of personal data under applicable law where you are located or whose parent or legal guardian have accepted and agreed to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
