3. WHO CAN SEE YOUR DATA

Apart from Rally Games, your data can be accessed by others in the following situations:

​

Other players and users

Social features are a core component of our games. Other players and users may, for example, see your profile data, in-game activities and read the messages you have posted.

​

Our service providers

Rally Games has vendors who help us to provide the Service. These vendors process your data only at and according to Rally Games´s instructions to provide the Service, and perform tasks such as hosting, player support, advertising, analytics and fraud prevention.

​

Other companies and public authorities

In order to verify payments (with payment providers such as Google Play and Apple) and combat fraud and illegal activity, we may process and disclose data with other companies and organizations and provide it to public authorities in response to lawful requests.

​

We may also disclose your data based on your consent, to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property or safety of us, our players, or others.

​

Advertising and Social Media partners.

The Service includes features from our partners, such as social media interaction tools, functionalities through application programming interfaces (APIs) or software development kits (SDKs) and in-game advertising. These partners may access your data and operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to check their privacy policies to learn more about their data processing practices.

​

These partners may access data regarding your activities and your device (such as your IP address, mobile identifiers, page(s) visited, location, time of day). We may also combine and share data we have collected about you with third-party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use this data (and similar data collected from other services) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit third-party services within their networks. These partners may operate under their own privacy policies. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.” If you prefer not to share your personal data with third-party advertising partners, you may follow the instructions in “Your Rights and Options” below.

​

4. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Our Service is global by nature and your data can therefore be transferred anywhere in the world.

Adequate safeguards that we may use include standard contractual clauses approved by EU Commission and other lawful safeguards.

​

6. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Like most online services, we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide and personalize the Service, analyze use, target advertisements, and prevent fraud. Cookies and similar technologies allow us and our partners to store their preferences and track your activities within the Service. Note that our partners may operate under their own privacy policies.

 

We and our partners collect and store information about users' interactions with unaffiliated websites and applications that use our technologies, including cookies and similar tracking technologies. This allows us to infer the presence of a common user or household behind multiple devices or browsers, for instance, and then link those browsers and devices into a device graph. We do so in order to

​

• detect and prevent fraud;

• allow users to use the Service on one device and pick up seamlessly where they left off on another device;

• analytics, personalization, and attribution;

• limit the number of times a user is shown the same advertisement, across all known or inferred devices; and/or

• provide personalized advertising on each device that is inferred from the browsing patterns on all of the devices.

 

The only way to completely "opt-out" of the collection of any information through cookies or other tracking technology is to actively manage the settings on your browser or mobile device. Please refer to your browser's or mobile device's technical information for instructions on how to delete and disable cookies, and other tracking/recording tools. To learn more about cookies, clear gifs/web beacons, and related technologies, you may wish to visit and/or the Network Advertising Initiative's online resources, at http://www.networkadvertising.org. If you access our service on your mobile device, you may not be able to control tracking technologies through settings.

​

7. HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR DATA

Security Safeguards

Rally Games cares about the security of your information and uses commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technological safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information we collect and that we share with our service providers. However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems 100%. In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

 

Your information collected through the Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Rally Games or its subsidiaries, affiliates, or service providers maintain facilities. If you are located in the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that we may transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction, and you consent to the transfer of information to the U.S. or any other country in which the Company or its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates or service providers maintain facilities and the use and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.

​

Data retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Service. We may for example periodically de-identify unused game accounts, and we may regularly review and de-identify unnecessary data.

 

Note that if you ask us to remove your personal data, we will retain your data as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
