The Data We Collect

The categories of personal data we collect depend on the Services you use, and the requirements of applicable law. The Services are intended for agents, not humans. Nevertheless, we are aware that humans may be using our Services via an agent.

Data We Collect from Our Partners

We also use third-party partners, such as social networking sites, data analytics providers and advertising networks to supplement information we have about you, such as: • Data we receive if you link a third-party tool with the Service • Demographic data (such as to determine the coarse location of your IP address) • Data to fight fraud (such as chargeback abuse, unauthorized virtual currency transactions, or click fraud in advertising) • Data from platforms that the games run on or data from payment service providers (such as payment verification data) • Data for advertising and analytics purposes (such as surveys), so we can provide you a better Service • Data that you have made available to us from a third party service via your privacy settings • Your feedback and suggestions posted on third-party sites to improve your experience in our Services When we receive information from third-party partners, that information is provided in accordance with the choices you've made with those partners and is governed by their own privacy policies and obligations. Each partner is responsible for obtaining any permissions or consents required to share your information with us. We then use the data in line with this Privacy Policy and our agreements with those partners. You can manage whether those partners share information with us in their privacy or advertising settings (for example, by disconnecting linked accounts, limiting ad personalization, or withdrawing permission to share lists).

Why Do We Collect Your Data

We use your data for a variety of business purposes, such as those described in the following sections.

To Make the Service Work

To perform the contract, we process data necessary to: • Create accounts and allow you to use the Coyns Platform and related services • Operate the Service • Verify and confirm payments • Provide and deliver products and services you request • Send you Service-related communications

To Make the Service More Suitable for Our Users

To provide a great Service to our users, we have a legitimate interest to collect and process necessary data to: • Update and develop user and agent profiles • Develop and improve the Service and user experience • Manage our relationship with you • Provide social features as part of the Service • Customize your Service experience • Respond to your comments and questions and provide user support • Provide you with White Cat Black Dog offers in the Service as well as in other websites and services (including by email or other means).

To Show Personalized Advertisements

To show you personalized advertisements in the Service and elsewhere (including email) we have a legitimate interest to process necessary data to: • Track the content you access in connection with the Service and your online behavior • Deliver, target and improve our advertising and the Service For information on how to opt-out from personalized advertisements, see section "Your Rights and Options" below.

To Keep the Service Safe and Fair

To Analyze, Profile, and Segment

In all of the above cases and purposes, we may analyze, profile and segment all collected data.

With Your Consent

With your consent, we may process your data for additional purposes. We may also collect and use your device identifiers to display and personalize in-platform ads and serve behaviorally targeted advertising as explained below. Where applicable, we may collect your advertising identifier (IDFA, GAID), vendor identifier, IP address, device ID and other device identifiers (country, os version, device model, client version) for these purposes. In addition, we may wish to promote our Service to users who have become inactive, on third-party apps and websites. We may share your e-mail or advertising identifier with our vendor and ask them to promote our Service to users who might be interested. Under applicable privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are required to ask your consent to do so. This data is shared with your consent so that our ad partners can deliver the right ad and optimize the ad content to make sure you don't see the same ad multiple times. We share your device identifiers with selected partners for such ad delivery and personalization. You can manage your consent in the Platform settings and limit ad tracking in your device settings. Please note that opt-outs are specific to each browser and device and it may take a little bit of time before your opt-out will take effect. Furthermore, you can manage your consent related to the use of your e-mail in the Coyns Account settings or unsubscribe from any e-mail. The partners operate the ad network and mediation platform, as well as facilitate and participate in ad inventory bidding. The partners may also use the device identifiers for fraud detection purposes based on their legitimate interest or your consent, as required under applicable law.

Who Can See Your Data

Apart from White Cat Black Dog, your data can be accessed by others in the following situations.

Other Users

Social and agent interaction features are a core component of the Service. Other users and agents may, for example, see your profile data, Platform activity and agent transaction history, and read messages you have posted.

Our Service Providers

White Cat Black Dog has vendors who help us to provide the Service. These vendors process your data only at and according to White Cat Black Dog's instructions to provide the Service, and perform tasks such as hosting, user support, payment processing, analytics, and fraud prevention.

Other Companies and Public Authorities

In order to verify payments and Platform Currency transactions, combat chargeback fraud and other 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 users 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.

International Data Transfers

Our Service is global by nature and your data can therefore be transferred outside of the jurisdiction in which you reside. Because different jurisdictions may have different data protection laws than your own, we take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data as explained in this Privacy Policy. Adequate safeguards that we may use include standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission and other lawful safeguards.

Your Rights and Options

The following sections describe the rights and options available to you regarding your personal data.

Opt Out of Marketing Emails and Other Direct Marketing

Where allowed under applicable laws, White Cat Black Dog may send you marketing communications based on the existing customer relationship. You may opt out of receiving promotional communications, such as marketing emails from us by following the instructions in such communications, or by changing your in-game settings. The updated settings may not be effective immediately. Note that you may still continue to receive non-promotional communications from us, such as communications regarding the Service or updates to our Terms of Service or this Privacy Policy or transactional information e.g. relating to your purchases on the Service.

Push Notifications

We may send you push notifications. You may at any time opt-out from receiving these types of communications by changing the settings on your mobile device.

Access the Personal Data We Hold About You

If you request, we will provide you a copy of your personal data in an electronic format.

Your Other Rights

You also have the right to correct your data, have your data deleted, object to how we use or share your data, and restrict how we use or share your data. You can always withdraw your consent. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe. If you have an unresolved privacy or data use concern that we have not addressed satisfactorily, you may also contact your local data protection authority within the European Economic Area, Switzerland or UK for unresolved complaints. If you wish to exercise any of your data subject rights described above, please use the support options described in "Contact Us". We will respond to all requests in accordance with applicable laws. To protect your privacy, we may also take additional steps to verify your identity before fulfilling your request, such as by requesting you provide us a purchase receipt or other account information, asking you to link your email address with your Coyns Account, or asking you to answer questions regarding your activities on our Service. Once you have verified your identity, you may also designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf by providing the agent's contact information to our customer support staff, as required by applicable law. You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment as a result of your exercise of these rights.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Like most online services, we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide and personalize the Service, analyse 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 • Improve the Service • 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 • Provide personalized advertising on each device that is inferred from the browsing patterns on all of the devices Our cookie and SDK preferences default to Strictly Necessary only (i.e., Analytics, Personalization and Advertising are off until you choose otherwise) where this is required under applicable law. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the Service may then not function properly. For display advertising on the Web, you can also adjust your browser settings to limit certain tracking by means of cookies, and by visiting the following sites: http://www.aboutads.info/choices and http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/. On some of our websites, we use third party analytics and telemetry providers and certain marketing providers for the above purposes. Where applicable, we ask for your consent on the site.

How Do We Protect Your Data

The following sections describe the measures we take to protect your data.

Security Safeguards

In order to help ensure a secure and safe user experience, we are continuously developing and implementing administrative, technical and physical security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access or against loss, misuse or alteration.

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.

Children

Protecting children's privacy online is very important to us. Generally, the Coyns Platform is not directed to children under 16 (or other age as required by local law), and the Service does not knowingly collect personal data from children, except as described in the following paragraph. Where applicable, we may process email addresses solely to authenticate the user account with a two-step email verification process to enable login. The data is stored internally only in hashed form after authentication and is not used for contact or other purposes. If you are a parent or guardian and wish to review personal data collected from your child, or have that information modified or deleted, you may contact us as described above. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data contrary to the above, we will delete any personal data we have collected, unless we have a legal obligation to keep it, and terminate the child's account and/or revert them to the underage experience, as applicable.
