Third-party links


This mobile application may include links to third-party mobile applications, plug-ins, and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party mobile applications and are not responsible for their privacy policies. When you leave our mobile application, we encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of every mobile application you visit.

2. THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed such as Anonymous Data (as defined below).


We process personal data of mobile application visitors only as far as this is necessary for the provision of a functional mobile application, our content, and services. The processing of personal data on a regular basis only takes place after consent of the visitors of the mobile application.


We may collect, use, store and transfer various kinds of personal data about you which we have categorized as follows:


  • Identity Data: includes first name, last name, username, telephone numbers, country of residence, gender, driver’s license, state ID, passport, passport card, permanent resident card, non-citizen travel document, visa, or similar identifier.

  • Contact Data: includes address, email address and telephone numbers.

  • Special Categories Data: includes race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, health information and biometric data.

  • Transaction Data: includes details about the method of payment such as the pay-out, cash-out, redemption method, or gift cards paid to you for participating as a user on our mobile application.

  • Technical Data: includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, device ID, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this mobile application.

We also collect, use and share “Aggregated Data” such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific mobile application feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.


If you fail to provide personal data


Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with services).
