Ad Serving Through Third Parties
Our Services use built-in advertising run by third-party advertising networks to enhance the in-game experience. Such advertisements allow us to offer you our Services for free.
Advertisers use IDFA (device identifier for advertisers). This identifier can be matched to you, and is used for marketing. It is shared with third parties who may use it for personalized marketing. Allowing third parties to advertise in our games allows us to offer our Services to you for free.
Advertising networks handle your IDFA in accordance with their respective privacy policies, which you can consult on their website. A list of the advertising networks we typically work with is below. From time to time we may change the advertising networks we work with without updating our Privacy Policy.
We are using the following tools to serve advertisements in our services. The use of data of these advertising services is described in their linked privacy policies.
When you view an advert in our apps, the advertising network receives and processes your unique Identification for Advertising (IDFA). Advertising networks use this to send you advertising. You can reset and/or disable your IDFA at any time by following these instructions:
Resetting your IDFA
Resetting your IDFA erases all data previously associated with it, meaning you will no longer receive personalised ads.
On Android:
- Open Google Settings
- Go to ‘Ads’
- Tap on ‘Reset Advertising ID’
- Confirm the reset
You can also choose not to receive personalized advertising by opting-out of interest-based ads. Just toggle off the ‘Opt-out of interest-based ads’ option.
On iOS:
- Open Settings
- Go to ‘Privacy’
- Tap on ‘Advertising’
- Choose ‘Reset Advertising Identifier’
You may also see our own advertisements in other services. If you click such advertisements and install our game, we may share a device identifier with the advertiser to verify installs, because the ad-networks need to be accredited for facilitating the install.
Cookies and other identifiers.
We and our partners may use cookies and other identifiers (such as clear gifs or pixel tags). With cookies and other identifiers, we and our partners can provide a better user experience. You may delete the cookies from your device after using our Services. If you disable cookies on your browser, some parts of our Services may not function properly.

We may publish aggregated or de-personalised data based on our users’ information (such as statistics) provided that such information does not identify you.
We may process your data outside the country where you live in (for example if you are an EU citizen, outside the EU or the European Economic Area). This can happen, for instance, if the service provider of our analytical services is located outside your country. In such cases, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is processed lawfully and in accordance with this privacy policy.
