  1. With Whom We Share Information

Except as set forth in this Policy or as explicitly agreed by you, we will not disclose any of your Personally Identifiable Information. In addition to the other uses set forth in this Policy, we may disclose and otherwise use Personally Identifiable Information as described below.

Our Partners. We allow third parties, including carefully selected ad networks and business partners (referred to as «Our Partners»), to display advertising on our Mobile App. Our Partners may, for instance, collect, use and share your information to make or help us make predictions about your interests, and may provide you with offers, promotional materials, and advertisements. In addition, Our Partners may be collecting certain information related to your PC, laptop, mobile phone or other device attributes and traffic/session information. Our Mobile App permits Our Partners to collect your Personally Identifiable Information to provide personalized advertising to you. Our Partners are leading digital performance-based advertising groups which put great effort in making sure that your personal information is safe and used properly.

Service Providers. Your information may be collected by entities that provide services to us, including companies that deliver analytics, data processing, data enhancement and customer insights, advertising, email distribution, and other services.

Other Parties (when required by law or as necessary to protect our services). We may disclose your information (including Personally Identifiable Information) to other parties in order to:

 

Other Parties (in connection with transfer of assets). If we make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a merger or transfer (or due diligence related to such a transaction), or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, we may transfer your Personally Identifiable Information as part of that transaction.

 

Use for Analytical and Ad Serving Purposes. We use standard tools common within the industry, such as Amplitude, to collect information about use of our Mobile App. These tools collect information such as how often you visit our Mobile App and what other sites you visited prior to reaching our Mobile App. We use the information we obtain from analytical tools for the purposes of improving our Mobile App. The analytical tools collect only the IP address assigned to your computer or other device and your browser settings as of the moment you visit our Mobile App, rather than your name or other identifying information.

We also use standard tools common within the industry, such as AppsFlyer, enabling attribution and marketing analytics services on our Mobile App.

These tools use cookies to target advertising based on what is relevant to you as a user to improve advertising and to avoid showing ads that you have already seen. Cookies themselves contain no Personally Identifiable Information. They relate to your online activity, rather than your identity.

Finally, our Mobile App relies on common industry tools such as AdMob from Google and FB Audience Network for Ads. These tools help us understand the composition of viewers of our Mobile App in terms of gender, age and interests. We need this information in order to understand what types of creative content we need to develop to suit the interests of different demographic and interest groups. In addition, Our Partners may need this information to develop marketing content.

  1. Cross-Border Transfer of Information

We generally maintain centralized servers and systems in Europe and may maintain servers and systems elsewhere. These servers and systems are managed by us or on our behalf, or by our affiliates located in Europe.

In the event of transfer and processing of your Personally Identifiable Information outside the EEA for the purposes described above, we will ascertain that the information receives the same level of protection as if it remained within the EEA, including when entering into data transfer agreements, using the EU Commission approved Standard Contractual Clauses, or by relying on certification schemes such as the EU-US Privacy Shield (if applicable).

  1. How We Keep Your Information Secure

We use commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your Personally Identifiable Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction in accordance with requirements of applicable laws.

  1. Use of Information for Personal Advertising

The information collected by Our Partners is used to analyze trends, understand user activities and gather demographic information to enable, manage and develop their personalized ads and related services. Our Partners may share such information with their affiliates. To do this, Our Partners use technologies such as cookies to collect information about your interaction with our Mobile App and third-party Mobile Apps. This type of information does not identify you personally and, typically, is aggregated with other data to create segments —groups of users and general interest categories that are inferred based on a range of factors (for example, «sports fan»). Our Partners use this information to form a more accurate picture of the interests of the audiences with which they interact — including you — so that their ads are more relevant to those interests.

In addition, Our Partners may use the information collected from these types of cookie or similar technologies for a variety of other purposes, including:

 

Our Partners retain your information in accordance with their legitimate business purposes for processing. Thereafter, the information is removed, archived for restricted legitimate interests, or anonymized. Non-identifying information may be kept without time and use limitations.

  1. Retention of Personal Information

If you reside or are located in the EEA, your Personally Identifiable Information will be stored for no longer than necessary for the purpose for which the Personally Identifiable Information was collected. The length of time Personally Identifiable Information is retained depends on the purpose for which such information was collected and/or as required to comply with applicable laws and establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.

We will take appropriate steps to delete any Personally Identifiable Information of persons less than 13 years of age that has been collected on our Mobile App without verifiable parental consent upon learning of the existence of such Personally Identifiable Information.

We request that you please attempt to resolve any issues related to your Personally Identifiable Information with us first. If you reside or are located within the EEA, you may also make a complaint to the supervisory authority for data protection in your country of residence (such as, for instance, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office for the UK) or seek a remedy through local courts if you believe that your rights have been breached.

  1. External Links

Our Mobile App may display links to Mobile Apps of third-party content providers, other than Our Partners.
