1. WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT?

In order to best provide you with our products and services, we collect two types of information about our users, known as (a) Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") and (b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information ("NPII"), PII and NPII being collectively referred to herein as "Information". Our primary goal in collecting Information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient and personalised gaming experience.

A. Personally Identifiable Information. This is information that can be used to identify an individual. When you engage in certain activities related to our products and services, such as registering for a membership, ordering a product or service, submitting content and/or posting content in discussion forums or other public areas, entering a contest or sweepstakes, completing a survey, or providing us with feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by completing and submitting one or more online forms. It is completely optional for you to participate in any of these activities. Depending on the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide will be identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. You will not be able to participate in a particular activity if you do not provide the mandatory information for that activity.

B. Non-Personally Identifiable Information. This is information that does not, on its own, identify a specific person. We collect certain information about users in a variety of ways. This information is compiled and analysed on both an individual and an aggregate basis. This information may include the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") of the website you just came from, the URL you go to next, the browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is a global address for documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks such as the web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you browse the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers need IP addresses to communicate with each other on the Internet. This information may also include location data transmitted via your mobile device's beacon, GPS or Wi-Fi signals.

Data we collect about you, including unique identification numbers associated with mobile devices (including, for example, an advertiser unique identifier ("IDFA"), vendor unique identifier ("IDFV"), Google Ad ID, or Windows Advertising ID), mobile operator, device type, model and manufacturer, mobile device operating system brand and model, and, depending on the user's mobile device settings, geographic location data, including GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude and/or longitude) or similar information about the location of the mobile device ("User Data"). User Data"), device-specific information such as hardware model, operating system version, advertisement identifier, unique application identifier, unique device identifier, browser type, language, wireless network and mobile network information (including mobile phone number) with our third party partners who enable us to use Bluetooth beacons to provide you with information or offers specific to your location and interests. By accepting our terms and conditions, you consent to the collection, storage and processing of your data by our third party partners for the purposes of (i) provide or improve their services; (ii) enable third parties to assist us and the retailers and venues (where the beacons are located) to better serve and understand our users; and  (iii) share your data with third parties so that they can provide or enable the provision of content, offers or other marketing solutions that may be of interest to you. You also consent to your data being transferred to and processed in your country or any other country in which our third party partners or their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, service providers or partners maintain facilities. If you do not consent to the collection and transfer of the foregoing information by identifying your mobile device, we recommend that you: (a) delete our application or adjust the application's in-app settings; or (b) delete the applicable Mobile Advertiser ID by restricting ad tracking on the device.

Information from Use of our Services. We also collect/compile non-personally identifiable information from Users of our Services. Non-personally identifiable information is information that usually cannot by itself be used to identify a particular person or entity, and may include: the Internet Protocol (IP) address, unique device identifiers, anonymous IDs for advertising, operating system, mobile network information, browser type, existing applications, browsing activity and non-precise device location information (e.g., city or region).

We enable you to send messages to other users in the Community. We don't normally read the content of these messages unless we have reasonable grounds to believe that the service is being misused or if we are required to do so by law; we do keep track of the number of messages sent and similar information to keep our services running smoothly. We also allow you to 'friend' other members of our community and keep track of which members of the community you've friended, which of our groups you've joined and what content you've uploaded through the Services.

Our products and third parties may use cookies (small data files containing information about you that are stored on your hard drive), embedded scripts, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, "Tracking Technologies") to automatically collect NPII as you interact with the various products and services. Some Cookies are used to make it easier for you to log in to and use the Products and Services (such as by remembering your User ID). Cookies also enable us to track your interactions with us and to target your interests in order to enhance your gaming experience (e.g. to track your sessions, etc.). We may also use tracking technologies to collect "clickstream" data, such as the domain name of the service from which you access the Internet, the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet, your browser type and version, operating system and platform, the average time spent using our products and services, pages viewed, content searched for, access times and other relevant statistics, and assign unique identifiers to the device you use to access the products and services for the same purposes. Your PII is not collected as part of this process. However, in order to better customise your gaming experience and provide you with advertisements and promotions tailored to your specific interests, we may associate the information obtained through these tracking technologies with your PII.

Such services may enable us to display advertisements based on your Product and Service use.

They receive the information necessary to verify and authorise your credit card or other payment information and to process and ship your order.
