The privacy policy explains what data we collect, use, store and share about you with third parties. This privacy policy applies to all Dreambuilders Studios games and Dreambuilders Studios websites, named "products & services" from now on.
Here are the categories of information that are used across our products and services:
At the moment we do not collect, store or process any voluntary provided information as we do not ask for anything that could identify you.
The contact forms and in-game feedback e-mails that you use are the only ways such information (your name, e-mail address) reaches us and is part of the functioning of the internet e-mail infrastructure. We do not store, use or process those information for anything other than direct communication regarding the subject you have chosen to contact us for.
We do not have any newsletter services that would use your e-mails provided through the above mentioned means.
When you use our products and services there will be several types of data generated and stored across other devices or servers. While we do not store any of the following types of data, nor we process it to personally identify you, our services use it for improved or added functionality. However, certain information can be analyzed and correlated by third parties to identify you, which is totally out of our control.
This data is used during your interactions with any of our websites.
Our games use several tools to understand player behavior and improve the quality of experience by its analysis. These tools collect information about each player and may fall into the following categories:
Additionally, each tool we use may collect automatically data like the following:
Device identifier / information means device type, device model, device maker, device operating system and its language or other technical data like screen size or processor, or combination of this data available from a device for a developer for checking the device compatibility with a particular application.
Here are the third party tools we use for these purposes:
Our games might use none, one or several of these tools.
We can look at aggregated forms of these data in each service`s provided dashboard, but we do not store, download or process this data independently.
The games that use advertising for monetization use tools that collect data automatically to identify users for serving advertisement. Apart from some of the data collected from above, the services may collect something called advertising identifiers.
Advertising ID means Apple Identifier for Advertisers ("IDFA") on Apple and Google Advertising Identity ("GAID"). These are unique identifiers for mobile device that advertisers use for interest based advertising. They are consistent across all apps and thus allow cross-app tracking. On Apple you can opt-out this by choosing "limit ad tracking" option from privacy settings. On Google Android you can opt-out by choosing "Opt-out of interest based ads". Advertising IDs are non-permanent, non-personal identifiers, which are uniquely associated with your device. Similar technologies include tracking pixels within ads. These technologies allow companies (including marketers and advertisers) to recognise your device when you use websites and applications.
We do not access any of this information. Our software only requests an ad of a certain type (banner, full screen or video) and it is served to the user without our further involvement. Identifying a user with it is beyond the ability of our applications and our data access.
Advertising providers that we currently use:
Our games might use none, one or several of these ads providers.
At the moment we do not collect information from any third party sources, such as social media accounts, profile pictures, friends data, etc.
Every platform we use to distribute our games has its own data collection policy that is mandatory in order to have our games reach your device. By platforms we understand software distribution services such as:
Each of these platforms will store and process your information as part of their terms of service that you have agreed with. Additionally these platforms may process application usage data such as downloads, launches, session time and other such data that is accessible to us via the store dashboards.
