Babil Studios Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 25, 2018

This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used, and disclosed by Babil Studios and any parent or subsidiary (collectively, “Babil Studios,” “our”, “us” or “we”) when you access or use Babil Studios websites, mobile applications, and other products and services (collectively, the “Services”) or otherwise interact with us.  This policy applies to Babil Studios brands, websites, games, applications, and other technologies (we collectively refer to these as “Services”).

Our Privacy Pledge

Our commitment is to put users first. We strive to be transparent about how we collect and use information from our users, to keep the information we collect secure, and to provide users meaningful choices. Since our founding in 2014, Babil Studios has intentionally avoided collecting data that identifies specific individuals (such as name, email address, physical address, GPS or phone number) to the extent possible.  Babil Studios has appointed a Data Protection Officer to ensure Babil Studios maintains safe and consistent practices regarding your data and privacy.

Collection of Information

We collect the following types of information when you interact with our Services:

• Device Identifiers.  When you interact with our Services, we do not require you to provide information that identifies you personally.  Instead, we collect and identify your device primarily using your mobile device advertising identifier, e.g. Apple’s iOS Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) or Google’s Android Advertising ID, as well as other identifiers.  
• User Names. If you would like to participate in our leaderboards, keep track of your game progress or play our multiplayer games, we may ask you to provide a username. To help protect your privacy, please do not choose a username which could be used to personally identify you, e.g. “JimSmith” or “Jsmith”.
• Other Information You Provide to Us.  We collect the information that you provide to us, for example when you communicate with others or post, upload or store content, contact our Technical Support team, or provide billing information.
• Log Information. We automatically collect information about your use of our Services and your device, including your IP Address, device model, browser version, operating system type, operating system version, mobile network information, device settings, and software data.  
• Location Information.  We derive information about your general location (city, country) from your IP Address. Babil Studios does not collect precise location data, such as GPS coordinates, that could be used to pinpoint your physical location.  
• Information from Cookies and Other Technologies. We collect information using web beacons, cookies, and similar technologies. Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory that help us improve our Services and your experience, see which areas and features of our Services are popular, count visits, and understand how users interact with ads.  Web beacons are electronic images that may be used in our Services and help deliver cookies, count visits, and understand usage and campaign effectiveness. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, please see “Your Choices” below.
• Information from Others.  We collect information about you when we receive it from other users, third parties, and affiliates. For example, when you connect your account to third-party services or sign in using a third-party partner (like Google Play Game Services, iOS Game Center or Facebook), we collect information in accordance with the privacy policies and authorization procedures determined by those services.

Advertising and Analytics Services Provided by Others

We may allow others to provide analytics services and serve advertisements on our behalf across the internet and in applications. These entities may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers and other technologies to collect information about your use of the Services and other websites and applications, including your IP address, web browser, mobile network information, pages viewed, time spent on pages or in apps, links clicked and conversion information. This information may be used by Babil Studios and others to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content, deliver advertising and content targeted to your interests on our Services and other websites and better understand your online activity.
