Collection of Anonymous Game Related Data 

When you play our published games, we may use certain technology (contained within the games’ files) to automatically collect generic, anonymous, non-personal data about your activities within any particular game. This may include (but is not limited to):

• Which characters a player chooses to play as the most

• How well the player performed in the game.

• Details about when the game is opened and closed (including how long it is played for);

• Details about performance and achievements throughout various parts of the game;

• User settings opted for; and

the resulting information being referred to below as “Game Data”.

​

Game Data will be shared with us when you access our published games with an internet connection.

​

The Game Data collected whilst you play our games will be both generic and anonymised, meaning that we cannot identify you from it directly. Accordingly, it will not constitute personal data. Our collection of Game Data through our published games will be limited to information relating to both in-game preferences and game-related information. 

​

We do not combine generic and anonymised Game Data with any personal data. 

​

We collect Game Data in this manner for the purpose of improving our games and our players’ enjoyment of the games. We will always ask you for permission to collect Game Data before we do so, and we will also provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of collection at any time. For further information, please refer to the user settings menu in our games, or contact us via email at: support@milkbubblesgames.com.

​

Change of purpose 

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. 

​

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

 

5. Disclosures of your personal data

We may share your personal data with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above:

• External Third Parties as set out in the Glossary.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

​

6. International transfers

We may share your personal data with third parties. It may be the case that some of our external third parties are based outside the UK so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the UK.

​

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented: 

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; or

• Where we use certain service providers outside of the UK that are not located in an area that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data, we will use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

​​

7. Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. 

​

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

​

8. Data retention

How long will you use my personal data for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

​

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

​

9. Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. These include the right to: 

• Request access to your personal data.

• Request correction of your personal data.

• Request erasure of your personal data.

• Object to processing of your personal data.

• Request restriction of processing your personal data.

• Request transfer of your personal data.

• Right to withdraw consent.

Please see the Glossary for further information. You may also wish to visit the Information Commissioner’s Office website to find out more about these rights. 

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us. 

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee

if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data

(or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is

particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. 

​

10. Glossary

LAWFUL BASIS

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are

subject to.

​

THIRD PARTIES

External Third Parties

• Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.

• IT service providers in the event that any enquiry requires investigations by such providers.

• HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

          You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data

we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

​

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you

corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

​

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us

continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. 

​

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about

your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

​

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: 

• If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

• Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.

• Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. 

• You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. 

 

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in

a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. 

​

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any

processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
