9th Impact Universal Privacy Policy

9th Impact Ltd. (referred to here as “we”, “our” or “us”) build games for Apple App Store, Google Play and other platforms. We operate websites and social media accounts for the promotion of games.
This Policy applies universally to all 9th Impact games, apps, websites and all other sources of data and methods of collection.  It outlines why we collect data, how we we collect and store it and what we use it for.
Data is collected on all our websites and in all our games.
Our most common reasons for collecting data are:
– Analysing how people on average play our games, so we can make improvements in future updates.
– Collecting contact information from fans so that we can communicate with them about game launches, game updates and send them gifts or offers.
We sometimes create games in partnership with TV studios, publishers and others so we share data with these partners when we are working on a project together.
We never sell data to anyone.
When you play our games, use our apps or browse our websites and/or give us any information (collectively referred to here as our “Websites/Apps”) you consent to this Privacy Policy and the processing of your information (personal and non-personal) as described in this Policy.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of January 1, 2014.

There are three types of information we may collect:
“Usage Data,” which is anonymous data tied to your computer and/or device, such as the actions you take within and outside of our games, apps or websites, the browser you use, the identity of other apps included on your device, the date and time of your use of a website or game or app, your game progress, play time, score and achievements, and the URLs you visited and/or apps you used before and after using our website or app or game
“Personal Information,” which is the type of information that specifically identifies you personally and/or can be used alone to contact you online or offline, such as your full name, physical address, email address, telephone number, photograph, precise geolocation information (i.e., your specific location), 9th Impact player ID, credit card information and usernames; and
“Non-Personal Information,” which is information that does not identify you and cannot be used to contact you personally, including information about you such as your date of birth, age, ZIP code, non-precise geolocation information (e.g., your city), and gender, as well as information about your computer and mobile device, such as your unique device ID, Internet Protocol (IP) address, or other persistent identifiers, and their hardware/software/firmware.

Personal Information and Non-Personal Information That We Collect and How We Collect It
If you choose to open an account with us, register for a contest, sign up for our newsletter, request support, or in any other way take steps that require the submission of Personal Information or Non-Personal Information, we may collect information such as your name, email address, physical address, date of birth, gender and/or phone number.
If you choose to connect to one of our Websites/Apps through a third-party social network such as Facebook or Game Center, we may collect Personal Information and Non-Personal Information from your profile on such third-party social networks, such as your name, username, photograph, gender and date of birth.
If you choose to make a purchase through our Websites/Apps, we may collect your credit card information and other billing information.
If you choose to make use of any public forum, comment section, or chat function, we may collect any Personal Information you may disclose through such means.
If you choose to send a message to another user or defined group of users through our message, chat, post or other in-game function, we may collect any Personal Information you may disclose through such means, as well as the necessary Personal Information of the user(s) you are contacting, in order to facilitate the communication (Note: we will never collect any information sent outside of the functionality of our Websites/Apps, including through emails or text messages).
If you choose to enable push notifications, we may use your Personal Information, or Non-Personal Information such as a device ID, in order to send push notifications to your device.
We may collect precise geolocation information provided that, prior to doing so initially, you will either be informed of this practice or be prompted to allow or block this feature. In the event you proceed with acquiring the Website/App or choose to allow this feature, you will be able to block it at any time thereafter by taking the appropriate steps in the Settings tab.
Some of our Websites/Apps may read your device to determine what other apps have been installed and Non-Personal Information, such as your city and gender, may be inferred based on the identity of those apps.
If you choose to submit your Personal Information to us for any other reason in any other form, we will collect such Personal Information and use it for the purposes for which you submitted it.
We will not collect any Personal Information from you simply by virtue of your visiting our Website; we only collect it if you choose to submit it to us. We do, however, collect Non-Personal Information such as device IDs, IP addresses and other persistent identifiers, as well as Usage Data, whenever you use our Website/Apps. Such Non-Personal Information is not combined with Personal Information unless you choose to submit Personal Information to us.
