2. Children's personal information.

Protecting the privacy of children is of the utmost important to us and we do our best to meet both EU and U.S. standards. The Games have been designed to be family friendly and to be suitable for use by children.

If you set your age as underage, we will not collect analytics.

We do not knowingly collect children's personal information without parental consent, except as permitted under applicable laws such as the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are a parent of a child playing the Games, you may review or have your child's personal information deleted and refuse the further collection of their personal information by contacting us at privacy@zeptolab.com. You may also contact us at privacy@zeptolab.com if you believe we are collecting a child's personal information in violation of COPPA or the GDPR and we will delete this information as quickly as possible.

If we want to change how we use personal information collected from children, we will first notify you by either posting an update on the Websites and/or the Games and you will be required to review, sign, and send to ZeptoLab a consent form to approve how we will use your child's personal information.

3. Do third parties have access to my personal information?

ZeptoLab does not disclose to third parties any data relating to the Games.

4. Sharing your personal information for business/legal reasons.

  • Business Transfers. As we continue to develop our business, we may reorganize as a business entity, acquire entities, subsidiaries, or business units, or enter into joint ventures with third-parties. In any of these types of transactions, any information you provide may be one of the transferred business assets (subject to any pre-existing privacy notice unless you consent otherwise). In the event that all or substantially all of our assets are acquired or we merge with a third-party, your information will likely be one of the transferred assets. You understand and agree that we reserve the right to transfer any information collected from you in the case of any such transfer. In such event, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  • Legal. We may disclose information you provide to respond to subpoenas, court orders, requests from authorities, and other legal process, and to establish/exercise our legal rights. We may also disclose your information to defend against legal claims when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. We may share your information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, and situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

5. How long will ZeptoLab keep my personal information?

How long we store your personal information will depend on the purpose that we originally collected it. We will not retain personal information for longer than is necessary for our business or for legal requirements.

As long as a player has an active Game Center account, their data is stored in Apple’s iCloud system. This stored data ensures that players can continue playing the Games where they most recently stopped playing and is used for no other purpose than to ensure the functioning of the Games. However, we will delete any personal information stored on our servers if you have not launched the respective Game in two (2) years.

Please note that if you store information locally on your wireless device and/or in the iCloud then information may remain there. If you would like to delete your information from your wireless device or iCloud, please follow the instructions provided by your wireless device provider or Apple.

6. Declining or withdrawing permission for data and data subject rights.

Players may decline to store Game Center data in iCloud or to send data to Game Center. To turn off iCloud data storage, they must turn off iCloud in Apple Settings for our Games. To stop sending data to Game Center, they must sign out of Game Center in Apple Settings. As a result, they will not appear on leaderboards and it will also disable the Games’ synchronization across devices.
