Last Updated: August 15, 2019
ADD-ictive and Connor Nail respect the privacy and information of ADD-ictive’s users. The following is a Privacy Policy outlining how the application collects, uses, and protects users’ information. Please take the time to read the following Privacy Policy carefully and accept its terms before using the application. In the event any changes to this policy are made, you will be notified. Acceptance of these potential changes are required for use of this application.
This privacy policy does not apply to the third-party stores from which this application was downloaded and their related services such as Google Play Store, Google Play Games Service, Apple App Store, Apple Game Center, and Apple In App Purchase. These services may collect some of your data and fall outside the purview of this privacy policy as ADD-ictive and/or Connor Nail are not responsible for their collection. Should you have any questions or concerns, please refer to the respective privacy policies of such third-parties.
Collection of Data
While I and ADD-ictive do not collect, store, or use any of your personally identifiable data when you download or use this application, the application’s third-party services, Unity Analytics and Unity Ads, may collect and use your information. The policy includes summaries of the data collected and its use derived from Unity’s Privacy Policy. ADD-ictive and/or Connor Nail are not responsible for Unity’s actions or policies as they are operated by others. For more information, visit Unity’s Privacy Policy page. Moreover, ADD-ictive does collect and store score/game related information. While this is not your personally identifiable information, we explain the collection, use, and storage of this data.
What Information Is Collected
Our application does not ask for any information when you download or use the app. Thus, there is no active collection of data. However, there is automatic, passive collection of data.
First, the application collects and stores your current game level (score), level information, and coins. This is done by the placement of a cookie specifically tracking your level progress in the application. This is not personally identifiable data as it is merely specific to game progression and not the user’s personal information. Moreover, it is stored on the user’s device (reference “How Information is Shared and Stored” section). Use and storage of this information will be explained in their respective section.
Moreover, Unity, the third-party service used by this application, does passively collect information about you when you use ADD-ictive. This includes device information, location information/IP address, game play activities and actions, log information, user device information, and cookies. A more comprehensive list can be accessed on Unity’s Privacy Policy. Unity also states that they may employ the use of third-parties to access more information about you and combine that with their information.
How the Information is Used
Again, ADD-ictive only uses game information such as scores; however, Unity, a third-party tool ADD-ictive employs, may use your information. As per their Privacy Policy, Unity primarily uses the information they collect to improve their service; prevent fraud; game analysis; share aggregate statistics across their products; combine information; dispense advertising; and comply with laws, regulations, and mitigate legal matters. A further, comprehensive list is provided on Unity’s Privacy Policy.
Moreover, ADD-ictive uses the game scores and levels completed to ensure your game progress is retained and is placed in the level rankings.
How Information is Shared & Stored
ADD-ictive stores game information such as levels, level information, and coins. The storage of this information is placed in a serialized file on the device.
ADD-ictive only shares your game information levels with others using the application by way of a game leaderboard(s). This is performed by and stored with Game Center on iOS devices and Google Play Game Services on Android devices.
Unity may share the information they collected with others. The following is an explanation of what and how information is shared as outlined in Unity’s Privacy Policy. Unity may share your information with their affiliates and third-party service providers. Moreover, they may share your information to comply with legal requests, laws, regulations, and to prevent crime, fraud, and risk. Information collected, such as device information and interaction with ads, may be shared with third-parties. Advertisers may use tools, such as cookies, to gain device and browser information to assist with administering targeted ads. Unity may also share de-identified or aggregated information about you with third-parties. Information may also be shared if Unity is involved in a sale or merger. To learn more about how and to whom your information may be shared, visit Unity’s Privacy Policy and Unity’s List of Affiliates.
