Privacy Policy for Pete’s Website & iOS Apps
Last Modified: July 17, 2023
1. Introduction
In this privacy policy, I describe what kind of data I may collect of you in connection with your use of my games, applications, websites and related services and how I may use such data. Below I call these collectively “Services”. By using these Services, you agree to the processing of your data in accordance with this privacy policy.
I may update this privacy policy from time to time by posting a new version online so please review it frequently. Your continued use of my Services after the posting of a new version is deemed as your acceptance of the modified terms.
This Privacy Policy governs your visit to http://petechristianson.com as well as any of my iOS Apps available in Apple’s App Store, and explains how I collect, safeguard and disclose information that results from your use of my Service.
I use your data to provide and improve Service. By using Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, the terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in my Terms and Conditions.
My Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern all use of my Service and together with the Privacy Policy constitutes your agreement with me (“agreement”).
2. What Data I Collect and Why?
I may collect personal data that identifies you if you submit it to me (for example if send me an email query regarding my services). I may use this data to provide Services to you, improve my Services and contact you. I don’t collect personal data providing my game services. I do not collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe I have inadvertently collected such data, then please contact me so I can remove such data.
3. Analytics Data
I use analytical services and other tools (such as Google Analytics) on areas of my Services which enables me to collect your IP address, other identifiers, usage data relating to my Services, as well as device information. Based on this data I may create statistics to provide better services to my customers and to further develop my Services. This data is not personalised and only accessible in an aggregated form. I treat this information as non-personal data.
You can disable Google Analytics with this tool: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
4. Ad Serving Through Third Parties
Some of my services use built-in advertising run by third-party advertising networks to enhance the in-game experience. Such advertisements allow me to offer you my Services for free.
Advertisers use IDFA (device identifier for advertisers). This identifier can be matched to you, and is used for marketing. It is shared with third parties who may use it for personalized marketing. Allowing third parties to advertise in my games allows me to offer some my Services to you for free.
Advertising networks handle your IDFA in accordance with their respective privacy policies, which you can consult on their website. A list of the advertising networks I typically work with is below. From time to time I may change the advertising networks I work with without updating my Privacy Policy.
I am using the following tools to serve advertisements in my services. The use of data of these advertising services is described in their linked privacy policies.
Admob (Google): https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
When you view an ad in mh apps, the advertising network receives and processes your unique Identification for Advertising (IDFA). Advertising networks use this to send you advertising. You can reset and/or disable your IDFA at any time by following these instructions:
5. Resetting Your IDFA
Resetting your IDFA erases all data previously associated with it, meaning you will no longer receive personalised ads.
On iOS:
– Open Settings
– Go to ‘Privacy’
– Tap on ‘Advertising’
– Choose ‘Reset Advertising Identifier’
You may also see my own advertisements in other services. If you click such advertisements and install my game, I may share a device identifier with the advertiser to verify installs, because the ad-networks need to be accredited for facilitating the install.
6. Cookies and Other Identifiers
I may use cookies and other identifiers (such as clear gifs or pixel tags). With cookies and other identifiers, I can provide a better user experience. You may delete the cookies from your device after using my Services. If you disable cookies on your browser, some parts of my Services may not function properly.
7. Data Security and Data Sharing
I take responsibility to safeguard your data. All of your data is protected in accordance with generally accepted industry standards. I may use partners and contractors to process data for me in accordance with this privacy policy.
I do not share your personal data to third parties without your consent unless I am compelled to do so by law or when I face exceptional situations, such as detection or prevention of misuse or criminal activities.
I may publish aggregated or de-personalised data based on my users’ information (such as statistics) provided that such information does not identify you.
I may process your data outside the country where you live in (for example if you are an EU citizen, outside the EU or the European Economic Area). This can happen, for instance, if the service provider of my analytical services is located outside your country. In such cases, I will take steps to ensure that your personal data is processed lawfully and in accordance with this privacy policy.
8. External Links
My Services may contain links to external sites. Such as Facebook links, YouTube links and link content from external third party sources. Please note that the use of such third party sites or content is subject to the privacy policies and usage terms of the third party in question instead of my own terms and I do not have control or assume any liability over such content.
