Data we collect

Our services collect data automatically. Square the Circles is an exception and does not collect data automatically. Services collecting data may use cookies and similar technologies such as mobile SDK. Automatically collected data may include:

• Your IP address. This may be used to derive general location data.
• User interactions including service launches and taps.
• Diagnostic information including service crash logs, launch time, hang rate, and energy usage.
• Device identifiers such as your device ID, MAC address, and IMEI. On Android devices, the advertising ID may also be collected.
• Your device information including operating system, software versions, display resolution, browser data, system and language preferences, time zone, and device name.

We may also collect data that you provide to us directly. Any form of correspondence that you send us and the content of that correspondence may be collected. This includes marketplace reviews and email messages.

Why we collect data

We collect data for the following purposes:

• To enable third party advertising within our services. For information about opting-out from personalized advertisements, continue to the "Your rights and options" section.
• To maintain and improve our services. Data that you provide us directly and processed data that we receive from our providers may be used to plan for and make adjustments to our services.

Retention of data

Data that we collect will be retained for durations permitted by applicable law only as necessary to serve legitimate business interests.

When we share data

We share your data with our service providers.

We may transfer your data if there is a change in ownership of one or more of the services.

Your data may be transferred to public authorities in response to a lawful request.

Your rights and options

Your rights and options regarding your personal data include:

• The right to access your data. You may request to receive data about you that we have retained. You may also inquire about our storage and processing methods.
• The right to correct your data. You may request that we correct inaccuracies and omissions in your personal data.
• The right to erasure of your data. You may request that we permanently delete certain data about you.
• The right to restrict processing of your data. Data processing is automatically restricted for users in the following US states: California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah.
• The right to portability of your data. You may request that we transfer your data to a data controller via a common, machine readable format.
• The right to object. You may object to continued processing of your data.
• The right to not be subject to automated decision making.
• The right to opt out of targeted advertising. Opt out methods:
  • Within an ad window visible in the service, click on the AdChoices icon (the blue "i" within a triangle), select "Ad options", and toggle off "Personalize ads on this app". Select "Learn more" beneath "Personalize ads on this app" to visit a web page hosted by our advertising service provider detailing this option.
  • Prevent our services from accessing your device's advertising ID. Following are details by device operating system:
    • Apple's IDFA is the iOS advertising ID. By default, our services do not utilize the IDFA. Access to the IDFA can be managed by service by opening "Settings" on your device and navigating to "Privacy and Security" > "Tracking".
    • Google's AAID is the Android advertising ID. Our services utilize the AAID unless access to this ID is restricted by the user. The AAID can be reset or deleted by opening "Settings" on your device and navigating to "Privacy" > "Ads". On devices with older Android software versions, the option to "Opt out of Ads Personalization" may appear instead of the option to delete the AAID. If a "Privacy" > "Ads" path does not appear in "Settings", an update to a newer Android software version may be required to use this method of opting out.

Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for a general audience and do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from someone under the age of 13 without parental consent, we will delete the data in a timely manner.

Changes to this Policy

We will make changes to this policy to improve clarity, or if there are substantive changes to the types of data we collect or to other surrounding policies. We will notify you if we make a substantive change. The notification will be a message within the service, such as a dialog box. As an exception, Square the Circles cannot present such a message as it does not establish a connection to the internet. Similarly, within our other services, notification is only possible if your device allows our service to connect to the internet. If you are a user of the Square the Circles service, or if you prevent our other services from connecting to the internet, you must visit this page if you wish to know of updates.
