APPSLOTS, LLC Privacy Policy

 

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains to Users of Appslots, LLC’s online and/or mobile services, web site, and software provided on or in connection with such services (collectively, the "Service"), how Appslots, LLC ("Appslots", "we" or "us"), gathers and uses information collected in connection with use of the Service. We take reasonable steps to protect User privacy consistent with the guidelines set forth in this Privacy Policy and with all applicable laws. In this Privacy Policy, "User" or "you" means any person using the Service, whether by browsing our website or using our mobile apps, paying for items and/or transactions using our mobile application, or participating in any other activities available through the Service.

 

2. User Consent

BY utilizing, licensing, ACCESSING OR otherwise USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE and agree THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND OUR TERMS OF SERVICE, including the collection, use, and disclosure of Personally Identifying Information by US AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. A User is permitted to access and employ the Services only if he or she agrees to the terms of the Privacy Policy as set forth herein.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.

 

3. Purpose of This Privacy Policy

All companies that you do business with choose whether and how they want to share your personal information. You control your personal information on the Service; federal law gives you the right to limit some, but not all, of that sharing. Federal law also requires companies to tell you how they collect, share, and protect your personal information. Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do.

 

4. Types of Information Collected by Us

Personally Identifying Information: We collect some of your personally identifying information (“Personally Identifying Information”) in connection with the Service, depending on how you use the Service. Personally Identifying Information is information about you that can be used to contact or identify you. The Personally Identifying Information collected in accordance with the Service may vary depending on your activity and may include, but is not limited to:

  • Your name;
  • Your social network (for example, Facebook) or third party service user identification number;
  • The user ID number and other public data of your friends;
  • Your mobile device’s unique identifier (UDID);
  • Transaction identifiers for purchases;
  • Your email address;
  • Your physical location and that of the devices you use to access our Services;
  • Your profile picture from a social network you authorize; or
  • Any other relevant information included in your Account or social network profile.

Additionally, we may acquire information from you through:

  • 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, we do not have access to your credit card details or billing information.

Although you must provide certain Personally Identifying Information to us in order to create your Account, you do not have to provide all of your Personally Identifying Information to us.  However, you may not be able to take advantage of all features of the Service if you do not provide us with the Personally Identifying Information requested from you.

Any and all Personally Identifying Information collected by us becomes part of our normal business records.

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.

If you are unclear about what information a third-party application is sharing with us, please go to the third-party application to find out more about their privacy practices.

 

Non-Personal Information. Non-personal information (“Non-Personal Information”) is information that, when taken alone, cannot be used to identify or contact you. We may collect Non-Personal Information about your use of our Service both in the course of game play and software usage. We may also invite you to share Non-Personal 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 social network or other inline profile.

If Non-Personal Information is collected for an activity that also requires personal information, we 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 our Services are used. The Service may also record game play information such as your game session duration or your high scores.

 

Web Tracking Information: Appslots and our third-party service providers may use web tracking technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and clear GIFs, to collect data related to usage of the Service. Such data may include:

  • The address of the websites you visited before and after you visited the Service;
  • Your location;
  • The type of browser you are using;
  • Your Internet Protocol (IP) address;
  • What pages in the Service you visit and what links you clicked on.
  • Your activity during your access of the Services, including but not limited to your number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, the pages viewed and the order of viewed pages;
  • Your transaction information, including but not limited to, the amount, date, and location of the transaction, the amount of credit earned and redeemed, and the identity and amount of items purchased;
  • The date and time of your access of the Services;
  • Any referring and/or exit pages and URLs;
  • Any cookies that are unique to your browser; and
  • Any elements necessary for the functioning of our mobile device application
  • The type of device you are using;
  • Your operating system version;
  • Your mobile device’s identifiers, like your MAC Address, Identifier For Advertising (IDFA), and/or International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI);

In order to collect Web Tracking Information and to make your use of the Service more efficient, we may store cookies on your computer and mobile device. Appslots and third party contractors engaged to provide services on behalf of us ("Contractors") may also use web tracking technologies that are placed in web pages on the Service or in email communications to collect information about actions that users take when they interact with the Service or such email communications. Web Tracking Information is not correlated by us to individual users, and thus, cannot be used to contact or identify you. However, some Web Tracking Information may include data, such as IP address data, that is unique to you. You may be able to modify your browser settings to alter which web tracking technologies are permitted when you use the Service, but this may affect the performance of the Service.

When you use our Services, you may give us information directly, for example, during account set-up, and we will store that on our systems and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Some games or parts of our Services may use a more traditional registration or account set-up process where you may be asked to give us some or all of the following information:

  • your age or birthday;
  • your first and last names;
  • your e-mail address;
  • a password;
  • other information that helps us make sure it’s you accessing your account or helps us improve our services (such as answers to an online survey or a feedback form).

We may also let you create a player profile, separate from your social networking site profile (for example, your Facebook profile), that other Appslots players can see. Your player profile may include information such as:

  • a profile photo;
  • game username(s);
  • your gender;
  • biographic details (such as your age or age range);
  • approximate location information that you provide;
  • links to your profiles on various social network; and
  • details about the games you play;

 

5. Accuracy of Collected Information

We use the information we collect, including the Personally Identifying Information, only in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy as set forth hereinabove or any specific privacy notice that may be issued from time to time.  The collected information is reviewed to ensure that only information relevant to the Services is collected and stored. We take reasonable precautions to ensure that the information we collect is accurate and current.  However, it is up to you to update your personal and other information when it is necessary.

 

6. Updates to the Collected Information

Upon accessing the Services, you will be provided access to your Personally Identifying Information, along with an opportunity to alter or delete the information upon your request.  Deletion of your Personally Identifying Information is limited by what we are required to retain by law or for our legitimate business purposes.  We provide access to and alteration of your Personally Identifying Information free of charge, so long as doing so does not require an unreasonable effort.

Prior to altering your Personally Identifying Information, you will be required to identify yourself, and we may decline to process requests to alter the Personally Identifying Information where you cannot be identified or if such requests are unreasonable, require disproportionate technical effort, endanger the privacy of others, or would be impractical.

 

7. Our Use of the Collected Information

We use your information to fulfill your specific requests, purchase orders and to send you purchase confirmation and other account-related information. In addition, the Personally Identifying Information you provide will allow us to send you messages regarding, among other things, new products, features, enhancements, special offers, upgrade opportunities, contests and events of interest.

The main use of the information we collect, and store is to provide a better gaming experience, but there are other uses as well. The uses for which we collect and store your information include:

  • to create your game accounts and allow you to play our games;
  • to operate, improve and optimize our Services and our players’ experiences;
  • to identify and suggest connections with other Appslots players and personalize our Services to you;
  • to enable players to communicate with each other;
  • to provide technical support and respond to player inquiries;
  • to protect the safety and well-being of our players;
  • to protect Appslots’ rights and property in connection with our Services;
  • to prevent fraud or potentially illegal activities, and to enforce our Terms of Service;
  • to manage and deliver contextual and behavioral advertising;
  • to notify players of in-game updates, new products or promotional offers;
  • to administer rewards, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, or other promotional activities or events sponsored or managed by us or our business partners;
  • to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes we may have with you or other players, and to enforce our agreements with third parties; and
  • to conduct research.

One important use of your information is communication. If you have provided your e-mail address to Appslots, we will use it to respond to customer support inquiries, and keep you informed of your in-game activity, including comments from friends, let you know about in-game status and promotions as well as tell you about gift and neighbor requests. Some messages, such as invites for friends to join you in a game, may include your name and profile photo. We may also send promotional e-mail messages and promotional SMS messages (e.g. text messages) ("Promotional Communications") directly or in partnership with other parties, in accordance with your marketing preferences. Each Promotional Communication will offer you choices about receiving additional messages.

You may also opt out of certain of these communications by sending an email to: appslots(dot)customer(dot)service(at)gmail(dot)com.

We may also use your Personally Identifying Information, Non-Personal Information, and Web Tracking Information, both individually and combined together, to better understand the behavior and preferences of our customers, to troubleshoot technical problems, to serve static and dynamic advertising, to enforce our Terms of Service, to ensure proper functioning of our products and services, and to help improve Services and their content. In addition, we may combine Non-Personal Information with Personally Identifying Information, such as an email address, to administer or tailor our offerings or game play experience to you.

If you enter into a sweepstake, contest, or similar promotion, we may use the information you provide to administer those programs. Your participation in tournaments or other online game events is conditional upon you granting us permission to collect, use, store, transmit and display public 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. We 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 we no longer use your information contact us at the email address provided in the Contact Us section below. Note that there may be instances where we are legally required to retain your information.

9. Third Party Service Providers

When requesting these services, you may be asked to supply your name or email address to our Contractors.

 

10. Browser Use
