This privacy policy governs your use of the software application Trivia Machine ("Application") for mobile devices, created by Owl Games ("we", "us"). The Application is a trivia game for iOS and Android.
Information you provide
The Application does not require an account, a name or an email address. You may choose a nickname and an avatar. Your nickname, avatar and scores are uploaded to our servers and are shown publicly to other players on the leaderboards. Please do not use your real name or any personal information as your nickname.
Information collected automatically
Game data: a random identifier created by the Application for your installation, a security token our servers issue to it, your progress, levels, answers, scores, achievements, language and app version. We use this to run the game, keep your progress, build the leaderboards and choose questions.
Country: your country, taken from your device's settings or SIM card. When those are unclear, our server may look up the country of your IP address through a geolocation service (ipstack). We use your country to offer questions relevant to your country and to show your country's flag in the game. Your IP address is not stored by us.
Usage and crash data: through Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, the Application collects information about how the Application is used (for example which screens are opened and levels played), the type of device, its operating system, crash reports, an app instance identifier, an approximate location derived from your IP address, and in-app purchase events. We use this to understand and improve the Application and fix problems. You can turn this off at any time in Settings > "Share usage data".
Purchases
Purchases (such as "Remove Ads") are handled entirely by Apple's App Store or Google Play. We do not receive or store your payment details. We only learn whether a purchase is active.
No. The Application does not collect precise location information about your device.
The Application is free and shows ads, provided through Unity LevelPlay and Unity Ads. The Application shows non-personalised ads only: we do not ask for permission to track you, and we tell our ad partners not to use your data for personalised advertising. To show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, these partners may still collect information such as your device type, operating system, IP address, approximate location, your interactions with ads, information about in-app purchases, and on Android your device's advertising identifier, according to their own privacy policies:
Unity Technologies (LevelPlay and Unity Ads): unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy
We do not sell your personal information. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising identifier in your device's settings. Purchasing "Remove Ads" removes the ads shown between levels. Ads you choose to watch for a reward (for example to continue a level) remain available.
We share information only with the service providers that help us run the Application, and only as described in this policy:
Microsoft Azure (hosting of our servers and database, in the European Union);
Google Firebase (analytics, crash reporting and app distribution);
ipstack (country lookup by IP address, when needed);
Unity Technologies (advertising, as described above);
Apple and Google (app stores and purchases).
We may also disclose information:
as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process;
when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
if Owl Games is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, in which case we will post a prominent notice in the Application or on our website of any change in ownership or uses of this information.
You can turn off usage and crash data in Settings > "Share usage data". You can stop all collection of information by the Application by uninstalling it. You can also contact us at support@owlgames.co.
We keep your game data (nickname, avatar, progress and scores) for as long as you use the Application and for a reasonable time afterwards. Usage and crash data are kept by Google Firebase according to its retention settings, up to 14 months. If you would like us to delete your game data, email support@owlgames.co with your Player ID (shown in the Application's Settings, and included automatically when you write to us from Settings > "Help & support"), and we will delete it within 30 days. Since there are no accounts, deleting your data also resets your progress.
The Application is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where required by local law). If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with information, they should contact us at support@owlgames.co and we will delete it within a reasonable time.
We are concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. Communication between the Application and our servers is encrypted, and access to our servers is limited to the people who need it to operate, develop or improve the Application. Please be aware that, although we endeavour to provide reasonable security for the information we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches.
Depending on where you live (for example in the European Union, the United Kingdom or California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@owlgames.co.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will post the new Privacy Policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes.
By using the Application, you are consenting to our processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by us. Your information may be processed in the European Union and the United States, by us and by the service providers listed above.
If you have any questions regarding privacy while using the Application, or about our practices, please contact us at support@owlgames.co.
