Introduction

This Playtika Privacy Notice (the “Privacy Notice” or “Notice”) is provided to help you understand our practices regarding how we collect, use, share, and protect personal data. In this Privacy Notice, “Playtika” refers to Playtika Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries. We may also refer to Playtika as “we” or “us”.

This Privacy Notice applies whenever you play the games that link to this Notice, or otherwise access any of our other products and social games for the web, mobile, or any other applicable platforms and/or devices (the “Service”).

By using the Service, you agree to the collection, disclosure, storage and use of personal data as described in this Privacy Notice. If you do not want Playtika to collect, store, use or share the personal data you provide in the ways described in this Privacy Notice, you should not play Playtika’s games or use our Service.

B.     Personal Data That We Get from Others

We may collect or receive information about you from other sources like third-party applications, such as an app store, third party login service, and social networks on which you play our games. We use this information along with information you provide us directly in a number of ways as described in this Privacy Notice, for example, to help you and your friends connect or to serve you advertising more tailored to your interests.

If you play Playtika’s games or access any of our Service on connected third-party applications or connect our Service to any third-party applications, including social networks like Facebook, Playtika may receive certain information about you from the provider of the third-party application. The information we receive depends on the Playtika game you’re playing, the third-party application, your privacy settings and, if applicable, your friends’ privacy settings on that third-party application.

For example, Playtika may collect and store some or all of the following information shared by the third-party application:

  • your first and last name;
  • your profile picture or its URL;
  • your user ID number (like your Facebook ID number), which may be linked to other information like your name and profile photo, and your friends’ identifiers;
  • the user ID number and other information of your friends, like their names and profile photos;
  • the login e-mail you provided to the third-party application;
  • your physical location and that of the devices you use to access our Service;
  • your gender;
  • your birthday and/or age range;
  • information about your activities on or through the third-party application;
  • other information you have shared on the third-party application;
  • any other information that you or the provider of the third-party application share with Playtika.
  • If you access our Service from a third-party application or connect our Service to a third-party application, you should also read that third-party application’s Terms of Service and Privacy Notice.

If you are unclear about what information a third-party application is sharing with us, please go to the third-party application to find out more about their privacy practices.

E.     Payment Information

In addition to the above, if you have provided your e-mail address to Playtika, we may use it to communicate with you and other players in a number of ways, including to respond to customer support inquiries; keep you and others informed of your in-game activity, comments from friends, and in-game status and promotions; and tell you about gift and neighbor requests.

3. How We Share Personal Data

We may share personal data about you between and among Playtika Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries.

Additionally, we may disclose or publish aggregated and analytical information (information about you and other players collectively that is not intended to specifically identify you, for example, players between the ages of 25 and 30 who live Chicago) and other non-personal data about our players for industry analysis, demographic profiling, marketing, analytics, advertising, and other business purposes.

In addition, we may share your information (which may include personal data) with third parties (in other words, parties other than Playtika) or allow third parties to collect this information from our Service as described in this Privacy Notice.

B.     Friends and Other Playtika Players

In most Playtika games, if you play or register through a social network (for example, Facebook Connect), your social network friends may see your name, profile photo, and descriptions of your game activity. If you use our Service in response to an invitation from another player, that player may see certain information about you and your in-game activities, including when you join and the level(s) you reach within the game. Correspondingly, in many Playtika games, other players, regardless of whether they are your social network friends or not, will be able to see descriptions of your game activity (including the identification of any Playtika games you have played), communicate with you within our Service, and view your game profile, which may include your name or a “game name” and your profile photo. Other players may also be able to send you game requests or even friend requests through the related social network’s or Playtika’s communication channels.

C.     Third-Party Advertising Including Tailored Advertising and Analytics

We may have advertising on our Service so we can continue to offer our Service for free.

  • measure how effective ads are;
  • offer you targeted advertising in order to personalize your experience by showing you advertisements for products and services that are more likely to appeal to you (a practice known as behavioral advertising)
  • undertake web analytics (like Google Analytics which is used to analyze traffic and other player activity to improve your experience).
  • performance data (like the number of clicks on an advertisement);
  • aggregated and/or de-identified information about you and other players that is not intended to specifically identify you (like players between the ages of 21 and 25 who live in San Francisco);
  • certain technical information (for example, IP addresses, non-persistent device identifiers such as IDFAs, and device identifiers);
  • your social network ID;
  • other contextual data about your game play (for example, your level and session length).

  • for erasure (or deletion);

Playtika allows all players to submit the requests via the Playtika Privacy Portal  or through the Privacy category in the support page within the game you play.

A.     Manage Information We Get from Third Parties

To manage the information Playtika receives about you from a third-party platform where you play our games, like Facebook, Apple, Amazon etc. you will need to follow the instructions for each such third-party application for updating your information and changing your privacy settings. 

B.     Turning off Geolocation

C.     Opting Out of Promotional Emails from Playtika

If you want to stop receiving Promotional Communications from Playtika, you can click on the “unsubscribe” link in any promotional email from Playtika. If you want to stop receiving texts or SMS messages from you, you can reply “STOP” to any promotional message. Please note that it may take us some time for your opt-out to become effective. 

Additionally, in most of our games, you may find an option under “your account” or “Settings” to request that we stop sending you Promotional Communications.

D.     Opting Out of Facebook messages

If you want to stop receiving messages through our game pages on Facebook, you may click on the “settings” icon on the top of such message, and by clicking  ”manage messages” you may turn off all messages from such game.

E.     Opting Out of Push Notifications

When you install our apps on your mobile device, you can choose to receive push notifications, which are messages an app sends you on your device even when the app is not on. You can turn off notifications by visiting your mobile device’s “settings” page.

F.     Opting Out of Third-Party Tailored Advertising

In some games that serve third-party ads we provide you a toggle button enabling you to disable third-party tailored ads.

For more information about tailored advertising and your choices to prevent third parties from delivering tailored web and mobile web advertising you can visit www.aboutads.info . To opt out, for businesses that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance, you can exercise that option at www.networkadvertising.org/choices  and www.aboutads.info/choices . 

If you live in the EU, you can get information and exercise your choices at www.youronlinechoices.com . 

These opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Playtika. Playtika does not control, operate, or endorse these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools. They are listed here only as a convenience for players.

In addition, if you do not want to receive third-party tailored in-application advertisements, you may opt-out by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your device. You can also reset the “Advertising Identifier” (like an IDFA) from your device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to the previous “Advertising Identifier.” Further, depending on the platform provider (such as Apple or Google), you may be able to download apps, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “AppChoices” app, that offer to provide you with control regarding the collection and use of cross-app data for tailored advertising. Like the opt-out tools mentioned above for web, these mobile opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Playtika. Playtika does not control, operate or endorse these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.

Please note that you may still receive advertisements from third parties within Playtika’s games even if you opt out of tailored advertising but they will not be based on your activity across unrelated web sites or apps.

G.     Opting Out of Cookie Tracking

You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your device or limit the type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit the Adobe website  and make changes at the Global Privacy Settings Panel .

If you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of our Service because Playtika cookies are necessary for providing the Service.
