As set out in the terms and conditions relating to our Services, you must be at least 13 years old to access and/or use our Services. We do not knowingly collect personal data about children under the age of 13.
We collect information from a number of different sources, but most of it comes directly from you when you play our games, or interact with our websites, advertising or other Services. Broadly the information we collect about you relates to the type of device you are using, how you play our games (such as levels attempted and purchases made), other games or apps you use on your device and may include information that you submit when creating an account with us or which you allow us to access when you connect to your social network accounts through our games or Services.

Finally, we may collect some of the information types referred to above on an aggregated or anonymised basis, or we may use it or share it in an aggregated or anonymised way, for research or analysis into the way our Services operate and are used.
You can choose to log into your aquagamez Profile using your Facebook account details. If you do this, you will be able to use your Facebook account to log in on multiple devices and synchronise progress across those devices. We will receive some of your Facebook account information and exactly what information we receive will depend on your settings in your Facebook account. We may use this information for the purposes described in this privacy policy, including in order to advertise to you. Once connected in this way, you will also be able to see which of your friends are playing the same game and their progress through the games (and they will be able to see you and your progress). This may also allow you to access other functionality in our games and other services, such as inviting friends to play, asking other players for lives and 1-2-1 messaging.
Logging in with Facebook will not allow us to post anything to your Facebook page without your permission. In the future we may also allow you to associate your aquagamez Profile with other social network accounts and use your log in details for that account to log into your aquagamez Profile. Where we do this, either we or your social network service provider will let you know what information we will receive about you from that social network.
If you choose to play our games online on the desktop version of Facebook.com, your basic Facebook account information will automatically be associated with your aquagamez account. You can control how your Facebook information is used and shared with your Facebook friends in your Facebook account settings.
Where you connect or associate your aquagamez Profile with any third party social network or platform, that social network applications or platform will provide certain information about you to us. These social networks and platforms are created and maintained by a third party which is not a part of, or controlled by aquagamez. We may use this data for the purposes described in this privacy policy, including in order to advertise to you. You should ensure that you read the third party social network or platform's terms of service and privacy policies to understand how they treat your data and what information they might share with us.
You can make changes to what data a third party social network or platform shares with us, or stop our Services interacting with that social network or platform by adjusting your settings with that third party provider, however you may find you are not able to enjoy all of the same features of our Services.
We, our suppliers and group companies may use the information we collect about you for a number of purposes. These include providing our games and other services to you, optimising the games and services we provide, enabling in-app purchases, storing your progress through our games, enabling social network integration, providing customer service support when you need it. We also use your information in connection with our advertising purposes. For more information, see below. We may also use your information for research or analysis. Finally, there may also be other reasons why we need to use your information, such as maintaining records or protecting our legal rights. A more detailed description of how we use your information is set out below.
We promote our own games and services in a number of ways. That might include cross promoting one of our games while you are playing a different game of ours. It might also include advertising our games within websites and other media published by others, or sending you marketing materials by email.
Like many companies, we may use information about you in connection with advertising. This includes using information that we have about you, such as the games you play, to try to make sure you only see advertising that might be of interest to you. For example, if we know you play Dungeon Match, we might suggest that you continue the adventure in other our game by showing you an ad for other our game. We may also use the information that we have about you to help a third party deliver advertisements that are tailored to you based on a determination of your characteristics or interests by us based on the information that we have about you.
As well as advertisements for our own goods and services, we may also facilitate third parties to optimise their advertising of their own goods and services by helping them to target those ads to those that might be most interested in them. These advertisements may be shown within our games or within websites and other media which are published by others and optimised by us or using our information. This is done using anonymised information and we won't hand over or sell any of your personal information to third party advertisers.
We will also use information about your particular device in order to show you adverts which work properly on that device, or to measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns and we may also retain information about how many times you have seen a particular advertisement so we can stop you from seeing it too many times.
When we advertise our games in games or media published by other companies, we may use various third party advertising partners, including ad exchanges, ad networks and ad servers.
Our advertising partners help us to serve advertisements to you. Some of this technology also helps us to make decisions as to whether or not to show a particular advert to you - for example, by informing us that you have shown an interest in similar goods or services previously.
Our advertising partners may collect information about you when you use our services or the services of others. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection of your information by our advertising partners, and we therefore recommend that you review their privacy policies for more information. You can find out more in “How to adjust your preferences” below.

We and third parties who advertise on our Services may use cookies or similar technologies such as tracking pixels in their advertising.

These technologies allow the collection of data, such as your device's model, operating system and screen size, the other applications installed on your device, and information about how you use our services.
