Information We Collect and How We Collect It

If you do this, you will be able to use your account to log in on multiple devices and synchronize progress across those devices. Where available, you will also be able to see which of your friends are playing the same game and their progress through the games (and they will be able to see you and your progress), or access other functionality we make available in our games and other Services, such as inviting friends to play or sending in-game gifts.

If you choose to login with a social media or other account, we will also receive your first and last name, photo, and a list of your friends who play the same game or use the same Service. We will also receive access to your e-mail address, if the social media platform shares it, but we will not store it.

We recommend that you review the social network’s privacy policy to learn more about the information they share with us and other developers and the choices you can make to limit the accessible information.


Information You Provide to Us

When you download our games or use our Services, we may ask you provide certain types of personally identifying and non-personal information. This may include:
1.Information you provide to us when you enter a contest or promotion sponsored by us, and when you report a problem with the Services;
2.Records and copies of your correspondence (including e-mail addresses and phone numbers), if you contact us;
3.Details of transactions you carry out through the Services and of the fulfillment of your orders.


Payment Information
If you purchase a license to use in-game virtual currency or virtual items in a game you play on a social network or that you downloaded on your mobile device, Danzen Game Studio does not receive or store any billing and payment information that you provide when your purchase is processed by a mobile app store (like Apple or Google) or by the social network (like Facebook). Our End-User License Agreement explains our policies and terms relevant to our charges, billing practices, third party credits and virtual currencies. Please note that purchases of third-party credits or currencies may also be subject to those parties’ policies.


Customer Support Correspondence

When you ask for help from our Customer Support team, we will collect and store the contact information you give them (generally, your name and e-mail address), information about your game play and activity on our Services, and your Danzen Game Studio player and/or social network ID number, and other information as may be requested by our Customer Support team in order to assist you, such as screenshots or payment transaction ID. We will also store all communications you have with the Customer Service team and any information in those communications in order to provide support.

For your convenience, we provide the option of contacting our Customer Support from the mobile applications and the desktop Services. If you choose to use our in-game or in-Service interface, some information will be added to your support ticket automatically, such as your unique player ID assigned to you when you downloaded the game, platform, information about your operating system, information about your device or desktop computer, and your screen size.


Marketing and Advertising
Our games and Services may include advertising for third party products and services, and we, or our third party partners, may send you marketing communications about other Danzen Game Studio games and related services based on your interests. For example, we may serve ads within our games and Services or place ads on third party websites or apps. Unless you opt out as explained below, you consent to us and our advertising partners collecting and using information about you to improve marketing and advertising so that we can show you relevant third party ads in our games or Services.

We and our third party partners use ad identifiers, such as ID for Advertisers (IDFA), Google Advertising ID (GAID), or unique device identifier (UDID), and other information collected from your devices, social networks, and provided by you to offer you ads that may be relevant to you within our games and Services.

When you play our games or use our Services, the ad identifiers and other information from your device is collected and shared with advertising partners to enable the delivery of ads to your device. Our marketing and advertising partners may combine such information with data they collected from you elsewhere (for example when you used their services) and use it to serve you more relevant ads or to improve the accuracy of their targeting and measuring systems.

By playing our games and using our Services, you consent to the collection and use of your data for targeted advertising purposes by our partners as set forth in this Privacy Policy and our partners’ policies, including, but not limited to the following: Unity, Appsflyer, Chartboost, Fyber, ironSource, Amplitude, Game Analytics, and Appanie. You can refuse or withdraw your consent to such use at any time by preventing your device’s ad identifier being used for interest-based advertising by updating your device’s settings.

Opting out of interest based advertising and marketing will not prevent you from being able to play our games or use our Services and will not disable the advertising within the games or Services, but such ads will no longer be targeted based on the information that we hold about you. The ads may still be based on the game you are playing or the Service you are using or the region in which your device is located.


Cookies
Most of our websites do not use cookies for any purposes. Game-Garden.ru and Game-Garden.com use cookies solely to save your language preference and do not use any type of third-party cookies or analytics.


Information From Third-Party Games
When you play Third-Party Games, we do not automatically collect, process, store, or use all of the categories of information recited in this section. As a publisher, we only have limited access to aggregated depersonalized data. We receive such information from the platform you use to access the games (for example, iOS, Google, Amazon, or Facebook) or from third-party analytics tools, such as Amplitude. The information that is collected by the platforms and third-party analytics tools is, in turn, governed by their respective privacy policies.

Information we receive in these circumstances is fully aggregated and depersonalized and could not be used to identify any specific user. For example, we can see the average number of game sessions by all users of a game on a specific day, number of users who started the game on a given day or in any given month, and how long on average all users play a specific game. This information allows us to work with our partners to improve the services we offer to you to provide you with the best game experience.

If you contact our customer support or otherwise directly provide us with your personal information or access our websites, the terms of this Privacy Policy will apply as described above.

How We Use Your Information
We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information, to:
1.operate, improve and optimize our Services and our players’ experiences;

4.notify you when in-game updates, new products or promotions become available;
5.comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes we may have with you or other players, and enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection, or between us and third parties;

3.Recognize you when you use the Services.

We may disclose or publish anonymous aggregated information about our users (information about you and other players collectively that is not intended to specifically identify you) and other non-personal information about our players for industry analysis, demographic profiling, marketing, analytics, and advertising and other business purposes.

In addition, we may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide:

1.To our subsidiaries and affiliates, contractors, service providers and other third parties we use to support our business.

The offer wall allows third party advertisers to provide virtual currency to players in exchange for interacting with an advertisement or completing a marketing offer that may include signing up for an account with one of those advertisers. These offers are not made by Danzen Game Studio. These offers may be made available to you based on certain technical information, like your geographic area or de-identified demographic information. To properly credit your player account and to prevent fraud, a unique identifier, in some cases your social network ID or Danzen Game Studio player ID, will be shared with the offer wall provider.
2.To comply with any court order, law or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request.
3.To enforce our rights arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including the Services EULA and for billing and collection.

5.To a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of the Danzen Game Studio’s assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by Danzen Game Studio about our players is among the assets transferred.
