This Policy is incorporated into and forms a part of Mistplay’s Global Terms of Use (the “Terms”).

Law Enforcement, Regulators and Other Parties for Legal and Security Reasons. We may disclose personal data when necessary to protect the legal rights of Mistplay, Users or third parties, in order to avoid fraud, manage our risks or comply with applicable laws, legal orders or processes. This includes exchanging information with other companies for these purposes. In these cases, we disclose personal data to comply with legal obligations or to protect the legitimate interests of Mistplay or affected third parties.
Service Providers. We have agreements with various service providers to facilitate delivery of our Services, which include those we engage to give customer support, operate the technical infrastructure needed to provide the Services, assist in providing you rewards and protecting and securing our systems and Services and to help market Mistplay Services.
Service providers that we use are required by contract to have the same level of privacy protection as we have and will follow the standards of this Policy. Other providers enable us to tailor the Services we provide to you and may also combine the personal data we share with them with other data they collect about you, e.g. your use of their services.
Game Partners. We may share personal information with our Game Partners, including in some cases, their mobile measurement partners, to provide you, among other things, with personalized content, for marketing purposes, to grow our business and for attribution of game installs and for reporting purposes. If you choose to access a game recommended through our Services, you will share your personal data with the Game Partner that develops the game, subject to the Game Partners’s privacy policies.
Mistplay may also disclose aggregated information about Users along with information that does not and cannot identify any individual or device, except where limited by applicable laws. For example, we may use anonymized user ratings, review of apps and aggregated information for statistical and machine learning purposes, to provide insights into developing or enhancing Services, for marketing and advertising and for other legally permissible purposes such as testing our IT systems and features. For more information regarding the sharing of data with third parties please review the applicable sections below and notices within Annex A or contact us as instructed below.

The information that we collect may be transferred, stored, or used in other jurisdictions, where some of our providers may be located. While we protect your information by choosing appropriate providers and having contractual safeguards in place with those vendors, the privacy laws in such jurisdictions may not be as protective as in, for example, Canada or the EU.
We maintain administrative, organizational procedures, technical and physical safeguards, consistent with legal requirements where the personal data was obtained, designed to ensure the security and confidentiality against unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, use or disclosure of, or access to, the personal data we collect and process.
If you are resident of a country in Europe, please see Annex A below for more information on international data transfers that are applicable to you.

Mistplay will only retain personal data for as long as is required by law, as long as you use the Services, or as long as is necessary to meet the purposes for which it was collected. For example, Mistplay account balances or rewards earned as of termination must be preserved for some period to allow for such matters as billing and tax reporting. Specifically, we destroy your personal information or store it separately if you do not interact with our services for 5 years.
Note, under the Terms, if a User does not use the Service for at least one hundred eighty days, the User’s inactive account may be terminated, Units earned may automatically expire and personal data may be deleted.
You may also ask us to delete your account. By deleting your account, however, any Units that you have earned and not redeemed will be deleted. Otherwise, if we choose to maintain or use de-identified information, we continue to do so in a de-identified manner and will not attempt to re-identify you. To delete personal data held by Game Partners, you must contact them as directed under the terms of the Game Partners privacy policy.
Like most online services and mobile applications, we may use technologies, such as cookies, web beacons (also known as pixel, tags or clear gifs) or software development kits (SDKs) as part of Services we deliver to you.
