2.       WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data is any information which relates to you specifically. This includes your name, gender, age, contact information, information about how you play our games and information about the mobile phone which you use to play our games.

3.       WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU?

Most information we hold about you is collected directly from you (for example, you may be asked to share information with us when playing our games or using our website). We also install software in our games, which is provided by other companies, that collects information about you and the mobile phone which you use to play our games.

This table has more detail:

Description

Examples of information which we collect

Mobile information

We collect an “identification number”, connected to your mobile phone, which allows us to identify who you are. We also collect certain information relating to your mobile phone settings (including language and time zone settings). 

Gameplay information

Information that is created when you play our games.

Information about your performance when playing our games (including game scores), any purchases you make when you play our games and any social media accounts (for example, your Facebook account) which you have connected to the account you use to play our games.

Messages information

4.       WHY DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU?

We have listed our purposes for collecting your personal data below. We have to have a “legal basis” for each purpose.  This is the reason why we can legally use your information.

This table has more detail:

Purpose

Legal basis

To make our games available to you, and allow you to enjoy all of the features within our games

We can use your information for this purpose because we have good reasons to do so. Before we use your information for this purpose, we have weighed your own interests against these reasons, and have decided that it is reasonable for us to use your information for this purpose (as long we follow certain rules). This legal basis is called “legitimate interests”.

To fix issues relating to our games

To respond to messages which you send us relating to our games

To understand how you play our games

To choose advertisements that are probably more relevant to you and show you these when you play our games

Sometimes we can use your information for this purpose because we have your (or your parent’s/ guardian’s) consent before doing so. At other times, we can use your information for this purpose because it is within our “legitimate interests”.

You can find more information on our specific “interests” in using your information, when we use your information for the purposes of our legitimate interests, in our main privacy notice, which you can read here.

5.       What are our age restrictions?

If you are below 13 years old, you are not allowed to play our games. If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you must get your parent’s or guardian’s permission to play our games.

6.       Will we speak with your parents/Guardians?

Your parent or guardian can contact us if you are playing our games without their permission. If so, we will speak to them about any accounts which you use to play our games, and we will likely delete your accounts and all connected information.

7.       WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH?

Your parents

Our employees

Other companies and organisations

For example, if they have any questions about our games, or they ask us if you are playing the games without their permission.

For example, to help us make the games available to you and ensure that they are working well. 

For example, if:

1.       We are bought by that company, or where we buy another company

2.       We have to do this to comply with law or to protect the rights or safety of us or our users

3.       They are helping us to provide our games and website to you

8.       WHAT RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE OVER YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

You have lots of rights over your information, which can be used in certain circumstances. More detailed information on these rights is set out in our main privacy notice, but the main rights allow you to ask this:

“Give me a copy of my information”

“Correct my information”

“Stop using my information”

Example: you can ask us to provide you with a copy of all information which we hold about you, in relation to a specific game

Example: you can ask that we update contact information we hold about you if that information is out-of-date or incorrect

Example: if you don’t want to play our games anymore, you can ask us to delete all of the information which we have about you

If you want to do any of these things, please email us here: info@matchingham.gs.

If you are not happy about our use of your personal data, you can contact a “data protection regulator” – which is an organisation that helps protect your personal information and privacy, and makes companies and organisations use everyone’s personal information safely, properly and responsibly. The UK’s data protection regulator is the Information Commissioner’s Office, and you can contact them here: Contact us | ICO.

9.       How long will we hold on to your personal data and where do we keep it?

We will generally only hold on to your personal data for as long as we need it for each of our “purposes”. After that, we will delete it.
