Definitions

‘NONPERSONAL DATA’ (NPD) is information that is in no way personally identifiable.

‘PERSONAL DATA’ (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data. (GDPR) means General Data Protection Regulation.

Children’s Privacy Notice

The Children’s Privacy Notice applies to our Services [Horse Riding Tales, Virtual Sim Story] which are not restricted to older users.

We do not intend to collect personal information as defined by the U.S. Children’s Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) (“Children’s Personal Information”), the GDPR or other applicable privacy law in a manner that is not permitted by applicable law. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have, please contact us [email protected] and we will remove such data to the extent required by applicable law.

We do not collect Children’s Personal Information except as permitted by applicable law. For example, we disable certain features (such as push notifications and certain tracking technologies). We also heavily moderate, filter and limit the in-game chat and only allow players to only create a profile using a generic player name. We may still collect and use IP address and device ID for authentication, fraud prevention, game optimization, and customer support purposes. Without limitation, we will not serve Interest-based ads (ads based on user profiles built by tracking user activities across sites or on the services) on these services. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected and/or are using Children’s Personal Information in a manner not permitted by applicable law, please contact us [email protected] and we will remove associated Children’s Personal Information to the extent required by applicable law.

Our Email Policy

You can always opt out of receiving email correspondence from us or our affiliates. We will not sell, rent, or trade your email address to any unaffiliated third party without your permission except in the sale or transfer of our business, or if our company files for bankruptcy.

Our Security Policy

We have built our Platform using industry-standard security measures and authentication tools to protect the security of your PD. We and the third parties who provide services to us also maintain technical and physical safeguards to protect your PD. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee prevention of loss or misuse of your PD or secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature.

Transferring PD from the European Union

PD that we collect from you may be stored, processed, and transferred among any countries in which we operate. The European Union has not found Australia, the United States, and some other countries to have an adequate level of protection of PD under Article 45 of the GDPR.

If you are a European Union customer or user, with your consent your PD may be transferred to Australia, the United States, or other countries outside the European Union when you request information from us. When you buy goods, services, or download any of our mobile apps, we will use your PD for the performance of a contract or to take steps to enter into a contract.
