Our privacy policy will help explain what information we collect, how we use it and what options you have in relation to it. The key points of our privacy policy are provided below, however you can also learn more by simply following the link below or by continuing to scroll down:
1. Information we collect
We collect personal information about you and the devices you use to access our Products and interact with us. We collect:
(a) Registration information
When you register or sign up to use our Products, for contests or special events, we will collect information about you, which, depending on the Product, contest or event, may include your name, contact details, a password and security answers and may collect additional information that you choose to provide such as age, gender or personal preferences. We will also collect your contact information when you sign-up to receive our marketing communications.
You can also choose to sign-up for our Products using third party services such as your Facebook, Google, Twitter or Instagram (“Social Network”) account in which case the Social Network may ask your permission to provide certain personal information such as your username, date of birth and contact details. The Social Network may share this personal information with us subject to the Social Network's privacy policy and the privacy settings of your Social Network account. This may also enable the Social Network and us to link your activities with your personal registration information at their site, and may include notifying your friends about your activities whilst using our Products. This may also involve the use by us of analytics technologies to link your online activities so that we can serve targeted ads. First party platforms, such as Apple’s App Store or Google’s Google Play store may for example share anonymized ids with us to help optimise our offerings to you and to help us understand how you are using our Products. If the first party platform shares this information with us it does so subject to its privacy policy, and the privacy settings of your first party platform account. If you sign-up via third party services you should visit the third party website and review their privacy policy and your registration profile or account to understand how your data is processed by them.

We do not verify the correctness of your personal information.
