Non-personal data

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "non-personal data" means information that does not directly identify you. Additionally, non-personal data means "aggregate" and "de-personalized" information, which is data Deen Games collects about the use of Deen Games Services, from which any personally identifiable data has been removed.

Deen Games may use tools or third party analytical software to automatically collect and use certain non-personal data that does not directly enable Deen Games to identify you. The types of non-personal data Deen Games may collect and use include, but are not limited to: (i) device properties, including, but not limited to unique device identifier or other device identifier ("UDID"); (ii) device software platform and firmware; (iii) mobile phone carrier; (iv) geographical data such as zip code, area code and location; (v) game score and achievements; (vi) other non-personal data as reasonably required by Deen Games to enhance the Services and other Deen Games products and services.

Deen Games may use and disclose to Deen Games' partners and contractors the collected non-personal data for purposes of analyzing usage of the Services, advertisement serving, managing and providing the Services and to further develop the Services and other Deen Games services and products.

You recognize and agree that the analytics companies utilized by Deen Games may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other services or products relating to your activities. These companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies.

Ad Serving Technology

Deen Games reserves the right to use and disclose the collected non-personal data for purposes of advertisement by Deen Games or Deen Games' partners and contractors. Deen Games may employ third party ad serving technologies that use certain methods to collect information as a result of ad serving through Services. Deen Games or third parties operating the ad serving technology may use demographic and location information as well as information logged from your hardware or device to ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the Service. Deen Games or third parties may collect and use data for this purpose including, but not limited to IP address (including for purposes of determining your approximate geographic location), UDID, software, applications, hardware, browser information, internet and on-line usage information and in-game information. The foregoing data may be used and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the privacy policy of the company providing the ad serving technology.

You recognize and agree that the advertising companies who deliver ads for Deen Games may combine the information collected with other information they have independently collected from other services or products. These companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies. These ad serving technologies are integrated into Services; if you do not want to be subject to this technology, do not use or access Services. Although Deen Games takes commercially reasonable steps to instruct such advertising companies to comply with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, Deen Games does not have access to or control of third party technologies.

Personal Data

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "personal data" means personally identifiable information that specifically identifies you as an individual.

Deen Games may use collected personal data for purposes of analyzing usage of the Services, providing customer and technical support, managing and providing Services (including managing advertisement serving) and to further develop the Services and other Deen Games services and products. Deen Games may combine non-personal data with personal data.

This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, profile picture, gender, user ID, email address, your country, your language, your time zone, the organizations and links on your profile page, the names and profile pictures of your social networking site "friends" and other information you have included in your social networking site profile.

Personal data may, however, occasionally be disclosed in accordance with applicable legislation and this Privacy Policy. Additionally, Deen Games may disclose personal data to its parent companies and its subsidiaries in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Deen Games may hire agents and contractors to collect and process personal data on Deen Games' behalf and in such cases such agents and contractors will be instructed to comply with our Privacy Policy and to use personal data only for the purposes for which the third party has been engaged by Deen Games.

Deen Games has the right to share your personal data as necessary for the aforementioned third parties to provide their services for Deen Games. Deen Games is not liable for the acts and omissions of these third parties, except as provided by mandatory law.

Deen Games may disclose your personal data to third parties as required by law enforcement or other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose you or Deen Games to legal liability. Deen Games may also disclose your personal data to third parties when Deen Games has a reason to believe that a disclosure is necessary to address potential or actual injury or interference with Deen Games' rights, property, operations, users or others who may be harmed or may suffer loss or damage, or Deen Games believes that such disclosure is necessary to protect Deen Games' rights, combat fraud and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on Deen Games. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Deen Games will make reasonable efforts to notify you of such disclosure through Deen Games' website or in another reasonable manner.

Data Retention and Correctness

Deen Games retains the data collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Thereafter if the collected data is no longer needed for purposes specified in this Privacy Policy, Deen Games deletes all aforementioned data in its possession within a reasonable timeframe. Deen Games does not verify the correctness of personal data.

Deen Games may still retain some of the data to the extent such retention is necessary to resolve disputes, enforce Deen Games user agreements, and comply with technical and legal requirements and constraints related to the security, integrity and operation of Services.

Cookies, beacons and tracking

The Services may use "cookies" and other technologies such as pixel tags, clear GIFs and web beacons. Deen Games treats information collected by cookies and similar technologies as non-personal data.

Deen Games may combine that information to other information Deen Games has about you and Deen Games may use that information to improve the Services and/or provide customized communications to you.

Third Party Terms and Conditions

Please note that your access to and use of the Services may be subject to certain third party terms and conditions and privacy policies, including but not limited to application stores, mobile software platforms, on-line gaming platforms, social networking services and payment providers. You recognize and agree that Deen Games is not liable for any such third party terms and conditions and their use of your personal data.

Safeguards

Deen Games follows generally accepted industry standards and maintains reasonable safeguards to attempt to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the information in Deen Games' possession.

Personal data collected by Deen Games is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. To prevent unauthorized on-line access to personal data, Deen Games maintains personal data behind a firewall-protected server.
