Your privacy is very important to us, and we will always use your personal information only for the purposes as described in this Privacy Policy for Games (the "Privacy Policy"). This Privacy Policy sets out the privacy practices Outfit7 Limited and its subsidiaries (referred to as "Outfit7", "we", "us" or "our", "ours") follow in the "Outfit7" branded software applications (the "Game/s"), which may operate on any type of computing device, and applies to your interaction with the Game(s), and is a part of, and incorporated by reference, into the End User License Agreement ("EULA"). EULA is available at https://talkingtomandfriends.com/eula/en. Additional information is available for players who come from certain regions:
You can always determine your country of residence in the app settings by clicking a "Country" button and selecting your country.
Our Games are intended for players of all ages, and we provide a privacy-enhanced experience for younger players.
Most of the information that we collect about you comes from you or your device when you play our Games, interact with third-party ads in our Games, or interact with our ads in apps or websites of others. Other than that, we may receive your information when you contact us directly via email.
Some data is provided directly by you, whereas other data is collected automatically.
We follow the data minimization standards when collecting information, meaning that we'll only collect information necessary for a certain purpose and not reuse it for a different, undisclosed purpose.
If you decide to contact us directly via email, we will use your data solely to respond to your inquiry. We delete all associated personal information from any inquiries received from Children promptly after replying to the inquiry. You may also be asked to participate in a survey or testing of our Games - which is all voluntary; please read more about this in the section Participation in the testing and surveys. Other than in these cases, we do not collect any “traditional” personal information through our Games (such as your name or email address, with which you could be personally identified directly).
If you are in any way engaging with User Generated Content, note that no information is collected from you from the Game; please read more information about this in our Social Media Engagement Policy, accessible at https://talkingtomandfriends.com/social-policy.
For some of our Games we collect information about the nickname you choose or information about the name you give to your virtual pet and your rating of the Game (if any). Please do not use your real name. Please note that if you are a Child (as defined below) your nickname is only shown to you and not to any other players in order to provide an additional layer of safety.
The information we automatically collect about you relates to the type of device you are using, information that helps us identify your device, how you play our Games, how you interact with our ads, and third-party ads. This includes your approximate geolocation and online identifiers, which do not identify you personally but may uniquely identify your device, and other device data. We may also collect information from app store platforms, partners and other third parties, such as information about your interests and in-app purchases (but we never receive your payment or credit card information).
We also ask you to submit, and we may process, other non-personally identifiable information that may be personal to you - like your year of birth.

We automatically collect certain information from your computing device, including:
In addition to the above we also collect information, including log information, that lets us know:

We use the information we collect about you/your device to provide Games to you and to operate our business. Your information is used to develop, deliver and improve our Games and video content, to provide Game updates, and fix any bugs and crashes that may occur.
We use your information to provide timely and accurate customer support to you and to respond to your inquiries. In case we are contacted by Children, we will delete all the communication, including any personal information included, after a one-time response.

We use your information to understand and analyze trends in connection with the usage of our Games, gather demographic information about our user base, and data about where the Game was downloaded from. We may also create reports and analysis for the purposes of research or business intelligence. We also analyze how you play our Games - how often and for how long you play, how you progress through the Game and which events occur in the game. Data used for analytics and research purposes is used on an aggregated basis, meaning that neither you nor your device can be identified. We also use your information to improve Games and to enhance security.

We use third-party analytics (Google's BigQuery and Google Analytics for Firebase) for the purposes of delivering our services, conducting analysis and research. To get more information about how your data is being collected and processed you can visit the site "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps" located atwww.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
We offer our Games for free or at low cost, which is possible because of the advertisements we show in the Games. When playing our Games, information from your device is collected and used by us and other companies so that ads may be delivered and displayed to you. Information may be logged from your device using different technologies, such as Software Developer Kits (SDKs) or web beacons, to ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the Game and to calculate the number of ads shown to you and how you interact with them.
You can read more about the types of advertisements we show in the Games and which of your information is used for each type below.
Learn more
When you use our Games, we may display contextual advertisements to you. Contextual advertisements are ads that are relevant to the content of the app or website you are currently on. In order to enable advertising, we allow advertising providers to collect online identifiers that might be considered personal information under some legislations, but they should use it solely for the purposes of contextual advertising. For any other purposes they should use the information solely on an anonymized and aggregated basis.
Interest-based ads are ads that are relevant to an individual's habits, personal interest, app and device usage, and online behaviour across apps and websites. For some territories, we may share some information with advertising providers that we collect from you automatically (read more about the collection of information in the section Information Collected Automatically of this Privacy Policy) to enable them to deliver, target and optimize third-party advertising in our Games.
Please read more about interest-based advertising practices and the choices you have in regards to them in the Interest-based Ads Notices link currently available at talkingtomandfriends.com/privacy-general/iba-notices.
We never allow advertising providers to show interest-based (personalised) ads to Children (as defined below).

When you use other apps or other online services, you may see ads for our Games in them. When you use these other online services, you are subject to the terms and privacy practices of the online service provider you are using at the time.
Information from your device is used to attribute performance of our advertising campaigns, to assess and measure their success, and to identify and prevent any fraud. We also use certain information from your device to not show you repetitive advertisements or ads for those of our Games which you have already installed. In addition, information on how you play our Games and how you interact with the ads may also be used and shared with advertising providers to optimize our advertising campaigns and to show our ads to the audience that may be more interested in our Games. If you would like to know more about the choices you have regarding the sharing of your information for these purposes, read our Interest-based Ads Notice available at talkingtomandfriends.com/privacy-general/iba-notices.
Information from your device may be logged using SDKs, cookies, web beacons and other technologies. These technologies enable us or other companies we've partnered with to check how you interact with ads and attribute views, impressions, clicks, installs or other performance indicators.
We check data like impressions, downloads and traffic sources to see how many times people viewed or downloaded our Games from the app stores. The device data used and shared with providers for this purpose are encoded. The providers assign a random ID to this data and they are not able to match it back to you personally. We also aggregate this data for benchmarking.

We use some of the information we automatically collect from you (read more about the collection of information in the section Information Collected Automatically of this Privacy Policy) for cross promoting our Games, which means we promote one of our Games while you are playing a different Game of ours.
We use game notifications to remind you about your activities within the Game. We have two types of notifications in our Games - local and push notifications. Local notifications are contextual and sent from the device, whereas push notifications are sent from the server.
If you decide to receive push notifications, we get your push notification token so we know we can send them to you. To read more about how you can unsubscribe from receiving push notifications at any time, find the instructions by expanding this section.
Learn more
You will be asked to accept or refuse push notifications once a Game is played on all devices, except for the devices with Android version lower than 13, where you'll automatically receive push notifications after the download.
When you decide to unsubscribe from push notifications, any push notification tokens will be deleted from our database.
Push notifications are never sent to Children.
We are conducting surveys to improve our Games or customer support service. If any of your personal data may be processed for these purposes and if your local legislation requires consent as the legal basis for the processing of information obtained in the course of the survey, we will always ask for your consent before conducting a survey.
From time to time, we, or our partners, may conduct an in-app survey and collect demographic and usage information for the purposes of internal analysis, marketing and brand development. We will use the information to create a better user experience. Collected information shall be anonymized and aggregated.
Participating in any survey is completely voluntary.
In some territories we may invite you to participate in the testing of our Games. You may voluntarily decide to apply. If you do so, you will be directed out of the app to an online survey, where we will ask for your consent for the processing of any personal information we might need to be able to invite you to the testing of our Games. You can read more about our privacy practices in relation to the testing of our Games in the Privacy Policy for User Testing, which is currently available at https://outfit7.com/user-testing-privacy-policy.
Some of our Games enable you to connect to app stores' game centers, such as Google Play Games Service or Apple Game Center, where you may be able to participate in leaderboards. Gaming centers are governed by their own privacy policies, terms and end user agreements and we are not responsible for, and have no control over, the sharing practices or policies of such centers that operate those sites.
Learn more
If you connect to a game center, you will be able to use your account to log in on multiple devices and to synchronize progress across those devices. When you log in to your gaming center account, we will receive some of the information connected to your gaming center account - for example, your player identification which will help us restore your game progress in case you lose it.
If you use gaming centers to participate in game related activities, such as in leaderboards, you share your information with other players and gaming centers (for example, usernames, scores, rankings and achievements).
We use your information to enhance the safety and security of our Games, and where we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or to protect our users, user experience, or our operations. We use your information when we are required to do so by law and in order to comply with any legal requirements. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger or sale we may transfer any and all information (including personally identifiable information) we collect to the relevant successor.
Our Games enable in-app purchases. Payment transactions for in-app purchases are completed through the app store via your app store account. We do not process payments for in-app purchases, nor do we have access to your credit card information. Read more details about in-app purchases and refunds in our EULA, available here: https://talkingtomandfriends.com/eula/en.
We consider ourselves to be family oriented and we take the privacy and safety of players below the age limit as required by the applicable data protection legislation ("Children/Child") under special consideration. This is why we have decided to voluntarily implement higher protection standards for Children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from Children, with the exception of allowed online identifiers (as allowed by the applicable legislation and relevant rules).
If we learn that we have collected personal information, other than online identifier, of Children, we will take all reasonable steps to delete the information as soon as possible. If you become aware that your Child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at [email protected]. If you are a parent you can request to review, delete or prevent further collection of personal information from your Child by contacting us at [email protected].

The features enabling potential collection and sharing of personally identifiable information, except for online identifiers, are disabled for Children. For example, usernames selected by Children are never shown in leaderboards to protect their privacy. Such features are safeguarded by either age gate or parental gate, depending on the Game.
The only personal information we collect from Children are online identifiers (such as device ID, advertising ID, IDFV, IP address). We will only do so when allowed by the legislation requirements. Such online identifiers are used and shared with other companies solely for providing support for the internal operations, which consists of us being able to provide you with Games and support, analyze the usage of our Games, to show you contextual advertisement (including frequency capping, fraud prevention, attribution and billing purposes), to analyze and optimise our marketing and advertising campaigns, to personalize the content of the Games (to send you local notifications - which are contextual and sent in app, not from a server or in conjunction with other user information), to protect the security or integrity of our players or the Game and to ensure legal or regulatory compliance.
Note that we do not, nor do we allow other companies we share your information with, to use information collected from Children for profiling, nor to track their behaviour over time and across different online services and websites nor to target them. Online identifiers also cannot be used to contact a specific individual and are not used for any other purpose other than as described herein.
In addition, we strive to ensure that all advertising providers adhere to the same standards for the collection, usage and disclosure of children's personal information as we do, but we cannot be responsible if they breach the commitments they gave to us regarding the collection of information. In case of such breaches, and as permitted by the applicable legislation, you agree that our liability is limited to the amounts we can receive as indemnification for the breaches from our advertising partner.
To read more details about how the information is used and shared in general, please see the section How we use and share your information of this Privacy Policy. For details about which companies we share information from Children, click here. If you have any questions about this section, please contact us at [email protected].
We voluntarily participate in kids privacy assured programs, which means our Games are inspected and certified by an independent third-party organization as being compliant with applicable privacy practices.

In some of our Games there is an option for the virtual character to repeat back what you said to it. Before doing so, you will always be asked to give permission to access the microphone. Please note that none of our Games have the option to record audio - you can learn more below.
Learn more
All of our Games that offer a feature in which the virtual character repeats back what you said will always ask in advance for your permission to access the microphone on your device. If you decide to give the permission, the virtual character will be able to repeat what you say to it. Please note that our Games do not have a function to record audio, so what you say to the virtual character is not stored on our servers, it is only used by the Game to repeat to you in real time. If you decide not to give us the permission to access the microphone on your device, the virtual character will not be able to repeat after you, but you can continue playing the Game and use other features.
In the US, some of our Games offer you the option to connect your device to an entertainment device, i.e. a talking, animatronic streamer GameBud™ Talking Tom® (the "Entertainment Device"). To read more about this, please expand this section.

Please note that privacy practices of your Entertainment Device are not subject to this privacy policy. Please visit Huge Play's privacy policy available at http://gamebud.com/talkingtom/privacy to learn more about privacy practices of your Entertainment Device. All of our Games that offer such a connection feature will offer users an option to connect to the Entertainment Device in the Game Settings. To connect to your Entertainment Device, our Game will need to use the Bluetooth on your device to find your Entertainment Device. On iOS we will ask you for your permission to access the Bluetooth in advance. On Android, we will be automatically able to scan for the Entertainment Device if your Bluetooth is turned on, if not we will ask you to allow us to turn on the Bluetooth on your device. If you decide to give us permission, your Entertainment Device will be able to connect to our Game and react to your achievements and progress in the Game. If you decide not to give us permission, the game connection function of your Entertainment Device will not work.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of the collected information, and to prevent unauthorized access and the use of information contrary to this Privacy Policy. We regularly review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. Please be aware that, despite our best commercially reasonable efforts to assure that your information remains secure when maintained by us, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.
We store your information for as long as needed to provide you with our Games. We may store information longer, but only in an aggregated and anonymized form - this means the information cannot be linked to you or your device.
