6. How We Disclose Your Information

We may disclose deidentified information, that is, information that cannot reasonably be used to infer information about or otherwise be linked to a consumer, about our players as permitted by applicable law.

We also disclose personal information with your consent or as we determine necessary to complete your transactions or provide the services you have requested or authorized. In addition, we disclose each of the above categories of personal information with categories of recipients (or allow third parties to collect this information from our Services) described below and for the following business purposes:

Public information: Some of your profile information can be seen by other players in the game, this includes your profile name (either the default name or a name that profile name of your choosing), your profile image (the default image, an image you select, or the profile photo associated with a linked account), the level of the game you are playing, and the amount of virtual items you have. You may select options available to edit your name and/or username, change your profile picture, and certain other information.

Third party social media platforms: Only at your direction, we will share information including your profile name, your player ID, your profile picture and certain in-game content (such as the level of game you are playing, screenshots of your gameplay, the amount of virtual items you have) to your accounts with third party social media platforms.

Service providers: We provide personal information to third party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who perform functions on our behalf for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. For example, this includes companies we’ve hired to provide customer services support, game play analysts, services hosts, and marketing companies;

Financial services and payment processing: When you provide payment information, for example, to make a purchase, we will disclose payment and transactional data to banks and other entities as necessary for payment processing, fraud prevention, credit risk reduction, analytics, or other related financial services.

Affiliates: We enable access to personal information across our subsidiaries, affiliates, and related companies, for example, where we share common data systems or where access helps us to provide our services and operate our business.

Third party analytics and advertising companies also collect personal information through our Services, including identifiers and device information (such as cookie IDs, device IDs, MAIDs, and IP address), geolocation data, usage data, and inferences based on and associated with that data. For example, we use Google Analytics on our Sites to help us understand how users interact with our Sites; you can learn how Google collects and uses information at: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners. Some of the disclosures to these third parties may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined under the laws of California and other U.S. states. Please see the “What Choices Do You Have” and “California Privacy Rights” sections below for more details.

Please note that some of our services also include integrations, references, or links to services provided by third parties whose privacy practices differ from ours. If you provide personal information to any of those third parties, link or bind your accounts, or allow us to share personal information with them, that data is governed by their privacy statements.

7. What Choices Do You Have Regarding Our Use of Your Personal Information?

We provide a variety of ways for you to control the personal information we hold about you, including choices about how we use that information. In some jurisdictions, these controls and choices may be enforceable as rights under applicable law. If you are a resident in the UK, EEA or Switzerland please see UK, EEA and Swiss Data Protection Rights section below.

Access, portability, correction, and deletion. In some jurisdictions, you have the right to access, receive a copy of, correct, and delete your personal information. If you reside in one of these jurisdictions, and you wish to access, receive a copy of, correct, or delete personal information about you that we hold, you may make your request by emailing aqualin@aqualingames.com. We may need you to provide some personal information so that we may verify your request and locate your personal information to fulfill your request.

Please note that certain records, for example those relating to payments or customer service matters, will be held for legal and accounting purposes. If you have previously allowed us to access your precise geolocation data or receive push notifications through your device, you can stop making precise geolocation available to us or receiving push notifications by visiting your mobile device's settings for the relevant Application or in some cases, through the Application itself.

Communications preferences. You can choose whether to receive promotional communications from us by email, SMS, physical mail, and telephone. You may opt-out of promotional emails or SMS messages from us by following the opt-out instructions contained in the e-mail or SMS message, or by contacting us as described in the “Contact Us” section below. Please note that it may take some time for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt-out of receiving promotional emails, we may still send you e-mails about your account or any Services you have requested or received from us.

Targeted advertising. To opt out from or otherwise control targeted advertising, you have several options. You may use the Global Privacy Control setting in a web browser or browser extension as described below. Many of our partners may participate in associations that provide simple ways to opt out of cookies analytics and ad targeting, which you can access at:

United States: NAI (http://optout.networkadvertising.org) and DAA (http://optout.aboutads.info/)

Canada: Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (https://youradchoices.ca/)

Europe: European Digital Advertising Alliance (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/)

Finally, you may use the other cookie or mobile ID controls described below.

These choices are specific to the device or browser you are using. If you access our services from other devices or browsers, take these actions from those systems to ensure your choices apply to the data collected when you use those systems.

Data sales. Some privacy laws define “sale” broadly to include some the disclosures described in the “Our Disclosure of Personal Information” section above. To opt-out from such data “sales,” visit our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information section below, use the Global Privacy Control as described below, or email your request to aqualin@aqualingames.com.

Browser or platform controls.

Cookie controls. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can go to your browser settings to learn how to delete or reject cookies. If you choose to delete or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Sites. If you choose to delete cookies, settings and preferences controlled by those cookies, including advertising preferences, may be deleted and may need to be recreated.

Global Privacy Control. Some browsers and browser extensions support the “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) or similar controls that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales and/or targeted advertising, as specified by applicable law. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting or similar control that is recognized by regulation or otherwise widely acknowledged as a valid opt-out preference signal.

Do Not Track. Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Sites do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. Instead, you can use the range of other tools to control data collection and use, including the cookie controls and advertising controls described above.

Mobile advertising ID controls. iOS and Android operating systems provide options to limit tracking using advertising IDs and/or reset the advertising IDs.

Email web beacons. Most email clients have settings which allow you prevent the automatic downloading of images, including web beacons, which prevents the automatic connection to the web servers that host those images.

Except for the automated controls described above, if you send us a request to exercise your rights or these choices, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may decline requests in certain cases. For example, we may decline requests where granting the request would be prohibited by law, could adversely affect the privacy or other rights of another person, would reveal a trade secret or other confidential information, or would interfere with a legal or business obligation that requires retention or use of the data. Further we may decline a request where we are unable to authenticate you as the person to whom the data relates, the request is unreasonable or excessive, or where otherwise permitted by applicable law. If you receive a response from us informing you that we have declined your request, in whole or in part, you may appeal that decision by submitting your appeal using the contact methods described at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.

8. UK, EEA and Swiss Data Protection Rights

You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing e-mails we send you.

9. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident and the processing of personal information about you is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), you have certain rights with respect to that information.

Notice at Collection. At or before the time of collection, you have a right to receive notice of our practices, including the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information to be collected, the purposes for which such information is collected or used, whether such information is sold or shared, and how long such information is retained. You can find those details in this Privacy Policy by clicking on the above links.

Right to Know. You have a right to request that we disclose to you the personal information we have collected about you. You also have a right to request additional information about our collection, use, disclosure, or sale of such personal information. Note that we have provided much of this information in this Privacy Policy. You may make such a “request to know” by contacting us at aqualin@aqualingames.com.

Right to Request Deletion. You also have a right to request that we delete personal information under certain circumstances, subject to a number of exceptions. To make a request to delete, you may email us at aqualin@aqualingames.com.

Right to Opt-Out/Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. You have a right to opt out from future “sales” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA.

Note that the CCPA defines “sell” and “personal information” very broadly, and some of our data sharing described in this Privacy Policy may be considered a “sale” under those definitions. In the past 12 months, we have sold or shared all of the above categories of personal information. To opt-out from “sales” or “sharing” of personal information, please use the Global Privacy Control as described herein, or email your request to aqualin@aqualingames.com. We do not knowingly sell the personal information of minors under 16 years of age.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information. You have a right to limit our use of sensitive personal information for any purposes other than to provide the services or goods you request or as otherwise permitted by law. We collect process the contents of your communications on our Services for the purpose of facilitating those communications, to provide customer service and respond to user complaints regarding violations of our Terms of Service. If you have any questions regarding our use of such sensitive personal information, please contact us using the contact information provided at the bottom of this policy.

You may designate, in writing or through a power of attorney, an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights under the CCPA. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require the agent to provide proof you have authorized it to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.

Further, to provide, correct, or delete specific pieces of personal information we will need to verify your identity to the degree of certainty required by law. We will verify your request by asking you to send your request or confirm your request from the email address associated with your account or requiring you to provide information necessary to verify your account.

Finally, you have a right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights set out in the CCPA.

Additionally, under California Civil Code section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, California residents who have provided personal information to a business with which the individual has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California Customers”) may request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California Customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed. California Customers may request further information about our compliance with this law by e-mailing aqualin@aqualingames.com. Please note that businesses are required to respond to one request per California Customer each year and may not be required to respond to requests made by means other than through the designated email address.

California residents under the age of 18 who are registered users of online sites, services, or applications have a right under California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 to remove, or request and obtain removal of, content or information they have publicly posted. To request that we remove content or information you have publicly posted, email us at aqualin@aqualingames.com. Please be aware that your request does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of content or information posted online and that the law may not permit or require removal in certain circumstances.

10. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the services and fulfill the transactions you have requested, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and other legitimate and lawful business purposes. Because these needs vary for different information types in the context of different services, actual retention periods can vary significantly based on criteria such as user expectations or consent, the sensitivity of the data, the availability of automated controls that enable users to delete data, and our legal or contractual obligations.

Details of retention periods for different aspects of your personal information are available from us on request by contacting us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Us” heading below.

11. Location of Personal Information

The personal information we collect may be stored and processed in your country or region, or in any other country where we or our affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers process data. The storage locations are chosen to operate efficiently and improve performance. We take steps with the intent of processing and protecting as described in this Privacy Policy wherever the data are located.

Location of Processing European Personal Information. Where we transfer your personal information to countries and territories outside of the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the UK, which have been formally recognised as providing an adequate level of protection for personal information, we rely on the relevant “adequacy decisions” from the European Commission and “adequacy regulations" (data bridges) from the Secretary of State in the UK.

Where the transfer is not subject to an adequacy decision or regulations, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws. The safeguards we use to transfer personal information are in the case of both our group companies and third party service providers and partners, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses as issued on 4 June 2021 under Article 46(2), including the UK Addendum for the transfer of data originating in the UK.

Our Standard Contractual Clauses entered into by our group companies and with our third party service providers and partners can be provided on request. Please note that some sensitive commercial information will be redacted from the Standard Contractual Clauses.

12. Security of Your Personal Information

We have implemented commercially reasonable precautions designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security.

You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, mobile device and computer by, among other things, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess and keeping your password private. You should never share your password with anyone or use the same password with other sites or accounts.

13. Age Limits and Children Protection

We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data about or direct or target interest-based advertising to anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to use our Services. If you are under 13, please do not send any data about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under the age of 13 may provide any personal data. If we learn that we have collected personal data about a child under age 13, we will delete that data as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any data from or about a child under the age of 13, please contact us.
