Online And Game Use Privacy Policy
Archipelago Games AB , and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide, (collectively “Archipelago”) respect the privacy concerns of the users of its Web site, archipelago-games.com (the “Site”) and all services and games licensed to customers via the Site or elsewhere (the “Services” and/or “Games”). Archipelago thus provides this privacy statement to explain what information is gathered during a visit to the Site and/or use of the Games and how such information may be used.
Please also review the Terms of Service, which also govern your use of this Web Site, the Services, the Store, and all Games.
Your use of the Site, any Games, and/or any Services constitutes acceptance of both this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service, as applicable.
Use of Information: As a general policy no personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is automatically collected by Archipelago from your visit to the Site and/or use of the Games. However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of Archipelago’s internet servers and game servers, as well as those of the platform providers for the Games (i.e. Apple, Google, etc.). Information such as the type of browser being used, any mobile devices being used, operating systems in use, device IDs, and your IP address are gathered in order to enhance your online and/or game experience. If you install any Games, however, we, and/or our partners, may also collect certain computer diagnostic information, including hardware, software, driver, and operating system used as well as related information, including crash logs, as well as other data and analytical information pertaining to your use and playing of the Games. If you install any Games, we may also collect and/or update a list of all apps installed on your device so we can further enhance your experience with Archipelago’s Games. We will only collect the list of applications you have installed. If you install certain Games, we may also collect and/or assign an advertising ID and geographic location information, if available, for purposes of providing advertisements. We may also, in limited circumstances, request your phone number for purposes of providing you a link via SMS to download content. In such circumstances, your number will only be used one time for that limited purpose and will not be saved. We will not collect any other data or other information stored in or connected with those apps as part of this process. We will not collect the list of apps installed if you are only using the Site but have not installed any Games. Any such information will only be used to enhance your experience with Archipelago’s games and/or to improve the Games and Services Archipelago Entertainment offers.
The Site’s and/or Games’ various mailing lists, downloads, special offers, contests, registration forms, and surveys may request that you give us contact information such as your name, mailing and/or e-mail address; demographic information such as your age and gender; and personal preference information such as your tastes in video game platforms and gameplay. The Games may also save your progress and other gameplay related dated needed in order to improve your gaming experience. Information submitted at the time of submission will be used by Archipelago only as necessary for our legitimate business interests, including without limitation the improvement of our products, services and the contents of the Site and/or the Games. The type of personally identifiable information collected will vary depending upon the activity and may include your first and last name; e-mail address; account information for certain third party sites or networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, and/or location. We may also collect the contact information of your friends if you choose to connect your social network accounts with your account with the Company and/or with your login credentials to your social network accounts with your account with the Company. Archipelago may also share such information with our business and promotional partners to further those interests. Personally identifiable information is never sold or leased to any third parties. With your permission, we may use your contact information to send you information about our company and products. You may always opt-out of receiving future mailings as provided below. Archipelago does not store any credit card information it may receive in regard to a specific transaction except as necessary to complete and satisfy its rights and obligations with regard to such transaction.
Archipelago may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with Archipelago’s rights or property, other users of the Site and/or the Games, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
Children Age 16 and Under: Archipelago recognizes the special obligation to protect personally identifiable information obtained from children age 16 and under. AS SUCH, IF YOU ARE 16 YEARS OLD OR YOUNGER, Archipelago REQUESTS THAT YOU NOT SUBMIT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE SITE AND/OR THE GAMES OR TO Archipelago. If Archipelago discovers that a child age 16 or younger has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete that child’s personally identifiable information from our records.

We may also use other tracking technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, or other web programming code from time to time. Such technologies may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a page or e-mail can act as a web beacon. Such technologies may be used for a number of purposes, including, without limitation, to count visitors to the service, to monitor how users navigate the service, to count how many e-mails that were sent were actually opened or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed. Such technologies may also enable us to send email messages in a format users can read, tell us whether mail has been opened, and ultimately allow us to reduce or eliminate messages sent to users. We treat information collected by or from such technologies as non-personal information. To the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers may be considered personal information by local law, however, we treat such information as personal information.

Malware/Spyware/Viruses: Neither Archipelago nor the Site and/or the Games knowingly permit the use of malware, spyware, viruses, and/or other similar types of software.
Links to External Sites: Archipelago is not responsible for the content or practices of third party Web sites that may be linked to the Site and/or the Games.

You should refer to each such Web site’s respective privacy policy and practices prior to disclosing any such information.
Bulletin Boards and Chat Areas: Guests of the Site and/or the Games are solely responsible for the content of messages they post on public forums, such as chat rooms and bulletin boards. Users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g., user name, e-mail address, phone number) on the bulletin boards or in the chat areas, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people. You are responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in these instances. For example, if you list your name and email address in a forum posting, that information is public. Please take care when using these features.
Security/How Your Personally Identifiable Information Is Protected: Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to attempt to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access and improper use. We also protect your personally identifiable information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. We continually review all such measures and update them when appropriate. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Archipelago cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit via the internet. By transmitting any such information to Archipelago, you accept that you do so at your own risk.
