This Privacy Policy will be effective from May 25, 2018.

Introduction

Burny Software Solutions LTD develops and publishes social games for the web and mobile devices (the “Service”). In this Privacy Policy, “Burny Software Solutions LTD” refers to Burny Software Solutions LTD Ltd. and its “Affiliates”, which shall mean subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership. We may also refer to Burny Software Solutions LTD as "we" or "us".

Burny Software Solutions LTD is committed to protecting the privacy of its users and provide them a better social gaming experience ("users" or "you"). This Privacy Policy has been created to inform you about how Burny Software Solutions LTD manages, collects, stores, shares, uses and protects the information you provide in connection with any Burny Software Solutions LTD game or application whenever you play our games or otherwise access any of our Services, products, content, Burny Software Solutions LTD and/or the other domains provided by Burny Software Solutions LTD.

This Privacy Policy applies whenever you play our games or otherwise access any of our other products, services, content, Burny Software Solutions LTD.com and/or the other domains provided by Burny Software Solutions LTD, together referred to as “Services.” This Privacy Policy describes:

what information we collect, how we collect it
how we use that information and with whom we share it
how you can access and update that information and means of communications
how do we protect children privacy
how we protect the information we store and share about you

By using the Service, you agree to the collection, disclosure, storage and use of your information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not want Burny Software Solutions LTD to collect, store, use or share your information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy, you should not play Burny Software Solutions LTD’s games or use our Services. Burny Software Solutions LTD may amend the Privacy Policy from time to time, and Burny Software Solutions LTD encourages you to consult the Privacy Policy regularly for changes.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure, typically by "opting in" to receive information from a third party that is participating in a sweepstakes or other promotion on one of our sites. If you do ask us to share your personal information with a third party for its marketing purposes, we will only share information in connection with that specific promotion, as we do not share information with any third party (other than our service providers) on a continual basis.

To prevent disclosure of your personal information for use in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use when you provide personal information on one of our sites.

Users in certain jurisdictions have a right to access personal information held about themselves. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with applicable law.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

Burny Software Solutions LTD only collects Personal Information to the extent necessary to fulfil one or more of its functions and activities, and will do so only by fair and reasonable means. Generally we will collect Personal Information directly from the individual to whom the Personal Information relates, but in some circumstances (including as outlined below), it may be necessary for us to collect information from a third party source.

Information About You That We Get from Third-Party Applications, Including Social Networks (like Facebook)

If you play Burny Software Solutions LTD’s games or access any of our other Services on connected third-party applications or connect our Services to any third-party applications, including social networks like Facebook, Burny Software Solutions LTD may receive certain information about you from the provider of the third-party application. The information we receive depends on the Burny Software Solutions LTD game you’re playing, the third-party application, your privacy settings and, if applicable, your friends’ privacy settings on that third-party application.

For example, Burny Software Solutions LTD may collect and store some or all of the following information shared by the provider of the connected third-party application:

your first and last name;
your profile picture or its URL;
your user ID number (like your Facebook ID number), which may be linked to publicly-available information like your name and profile photo;
the user ID number and other public data of your friends;
the login e-mail you provided to that third-party application when you registered with it;
your physical location and that of the devices you use to access our Services;
your gender;
your birthday and/or age range;
information about your activities on or through the connected third-party application;
other publicly-available information on the third-party application; and/or
any other information that you or the provider of the third-party application share with Burny Software Solutions LTD.

Cookies and Automated Information Collection

Like many websites, Burny Software Solutions LTD and service providers acting on our behalf, like Google Analytics, store log files and use tracking technologies such as "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer’s hard disk or your mobile device for record-keeping purposes. The Service may send cookies to a computer or a mobile device when a user accesses or views a Service. Information contained in a cookie may be linked to personal information for purposes such as improving the quality of Burny Software Solutions LTD’s Service, tailoring recommendations to interests, and making the Service easier to use.

Third party advertisers on the Services may also use, place or read cookies or other technologies as described below on your browser, and those practices are subject to their own policies. Cookies can be disabled at any time by changing your web browser’s options to stop accepting cookies, to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit or limit the type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove flash cookies. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all features, portions or functionalities of the Service.

We and our service providers may also employ other technologies including (i) web beacons, which allow us to know if a certain page was visited or whether an e-mail was opened; (ii) tracking pixels, which allow us or our advertising partners to advertise more efficiently and effectively by excluding our current users from certain promotional messages, identifying the source of a new installation or delivering ads to you on other websites; and (iii) local shared objects also known as flash cookies, which help us to reduce fraud, remember your in-game preferences and speed up load times.

We and our service providers use these log files, tags, and tracking technologies to collect and analyze certain kinds of technical information, including:

the type of device you are using;
your operating system version;
your mobile device’s identifiers, like your MAC Address, Identifier For Advertising (IDFA), and/or International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI);
your browser types;
your browser language;
referring and exit pages, and URLs;
platform type;
the number of clicks on a page or feature;
domain names;
landing pages;
pages viewed and the order of those pages;
the amount of time spent on particular pages; and
game state and the date and time of activity on our websites or games.

In some cases, we will connect this information with your social network ID or Burny Software Solutions LTD user ID.

For more information on how to limit the types of cookies you allow, please see Opting out of Cookie Tracking section.

Information About You That You Share With Us Directly

When you use our Services (whether through a social network or through Burny Software Solutions LTD directly), you may give us information directly (like when you’re setting up your account) and we will store that on our systems and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Some games or parts of our Services may use a more traditional registration or account set-up process where you may be asked to give us some or all of the following information:

your age or birthday;
your first and last names;
your e-mail address;
a password;
other information that helps us make sure it’s you accessing your account or helps us improve our services (such as answers to an online survey or a feedback form).

We may also let you create a player profile, separate from your social networking site profile (for example, your Facebook profile), that other Burny Software Solutions LTD players can see. Your player profile may include information like:

a profile photo;
game username(s);
your gender;
biographic details (like your age or age range);
approximate location information that you provide;
links to your profiles on various social network; and
details about the games you play;

Information You Generate Using Our Communications Features

Except for games designed for children under 13, you may be able to take part in certain activities on our Service that let you communicate or share information not just with Burny Software Solutions LTD, but also with other Burny Software Solutions LTD players. These include:

participating in player forums and message boards;
posting public comments to other players’ profiles or gameboards;
sending private messages or invitations to other players, either directly on our websites or to their e-mail accounts;
chatting with other players; and/or
posting photos or drawings.

You acknowledge and expressly agree that we may access in real-time, record and/or store archives of these communications, comments, photos and drawings on Burny Software Solutions LTD's servers to make use of them to protect the safety and well-being of our players and Burny Software Solutions LTD’s rights and property in connection with our Services; to conduct research; to operate, improve, personalize and optimize our Services and our players’ experiences, including through the use of analytics; and to manage and deliver contextual advertising.

Payment Information

Burny Software Solutions LTD may obtain the billing and payment information that you provide when your purchase is processed by someone else (like Facebook, Apple or Google) such as when you purchase something in a game you play on a social network or that you downloaded on your mobile device.

Burny Software Solutions LTD does not collect or store your financial information, like credit card numbers. However, Burny Software Solutions LTD’s payment processors may share non-financial information with us related to your purchases, like your name, billing address and the items purchased in order to fulfill your order.

Customer Support Correspondence

Except as provided herein, when you ask for help from our Customer Support team, we will collect and store the contact information you give them (generally, your name and e-mail address), information about your game play or activity on our Services, and your Burny Software Solutions LTD player and/or social network ID number. We will also store the communications you have with the Customer Service team and any information in those communications in order to provide support and improve the Services. For users of our games designed for children under 13, we will use your contact information for the sole purpose of providing a one-time response to your question. We will then delete your information from our servers.

Other Sources

We may collect or receive information about you from other sources like third-party information providers. We use this information along with information you provide us directly, for example, to help you and your friends connect or to serve you advertising more tailored to your interests.

If you would like to learn more about how we secure your information, please see Security of Your Information section below.

How We Use the Information We Collect and With Whom We Share It

How We Use Your Information

The main use of the information we collect and store is to provide a better gaming experience, but there are other uses as well. The uses for which we collect and store your information include:

to create your game accounts and allow you to play our games;
to operate, improve and optimize our Services and our players’ experiences;
to identify and suggest connections with other Burny Software Solutions LTD players and personalize our Services to you;
to enable players to communicate with each other;
to provide technical support and respond to player inquiries;
to protect the safety and well-being of our players;
to protect Burny Software Solutions LTD's rights and property in connection with our Services;
to manage and deliver contextual and behavioral advertising;
to notify players of in-game updates, new products or promotional offers;
to administer rewards, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, or other promotional activities or events sponsored or managed by us or our business partners;
to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes we may have with you or other players, and to enforce our agreements with third parties; and
to conduct research.

One important use of your information is communication. If you have provided your e-mail address to Burny Software Solutions LTD, we will use it to respond to Customer Support inquiries, and keep you informed of your in-game activity, including comments from friends, let you know about in-game status and promotions as well as tell you about gift and neighbor requests. Some messages, like invites for friends to join you in a game, may include your name and profile photo. We may also send promotional e-mail messages and promotional SMS messages (e.g. text messages) ("Promotional Communications") directly or in partnership with other parties, in accordance with your marketing preferences. Each Promotional Communication will offer you choices about receiving additional messages. Receipt of such communications depends on Burny Software Solutions LTD having certain contact information from you. If you play one of our games designed for children under 13, you will not be able to provide us with certain contact information. Please see the section on Our Policies Concerning Children for more information.

How We Share Your Information

We may disclose or publish aggregated information (information about you and other players collectively that is not intended to specifically identify you, for example, players between the ages of 25 and 30 who live Chicago) and other non-personal information about our players for industry analysis, demographic profiling, marketing, analytics, advertising, and other business purposes.
In addition, we may share your information (which may include personal information) with third parties (in other words, parties other than Burny Software Solutions LTD) or allow third parties to collect this information from our Services in the following circumstances:

Your Consent

With your consent, we may share your information with third parties or allow them to collect your information from our Services in some ways not specifically described in this Privacy Policy.

Aggregated and Analytical Information

We use anonymous, statistical or aggregated information and may share it with our partners for legitimate business purposes. It has no effect on your privacy, because there is no reasonable way to extract data from the aggregated information that can be associated with you. We will share your identifiable information only subject to the terms of this policy, or subject to your prior consent.

Friends and Other Burny Software Solutions LTD Players

The Service supports and often encourages you to interact with other players. In most Burny Software Solutions LTD games, if you play through a social network or register through a social network (for example, Facebook Connect), your social network friends will see your name, profile photo and descriptions of your game activity. Similarly, in many Burny Software Solutions LTD games, other players, regardless of whether they are your social network friends or not, will be able to see descriptions of your game activity (including the identification of any Burny Software Solutions LTD games you have played), communicate with you within our Services, and view your game profile, which may include your name or a “game name” and your profile photo. For example, in Burny Software Solutions LTD Poker, any other player may see your game profile if you are playing at the same table. In certain cases, your profile photo can reveal your social network ID or Burny Software Solutions LTD player ID, and access to a social network ID or Burny Software Solutions LTD player ID may allow others to view the public information associated with your related social network profile or Burny Software Solutions LTD account. Other players may also be able to send you game requests or even friend requests through the related social network’s or Burny Software Solutions LTD’s communication channels.

Third-Party Advertising Including Tailored Advertising and Analytics

We have advertising on our Services so we can continue to offer many of our Services for free.

We do not actively share personal information with third-party advertisers for their direct marketing purposes unless you give us your consent.

When advertisers or ad networks place ads in our Services, they may collect or we may share the following types of information from within our Services:

performance data (like the number of clicks on an advertisement);
aggregated and/or de-identified information about you and other players collectively that is not intended to specifically identify you (like players between the ages of 21 and 25 who live San Francisco);
certain technical information (for example, IP addresses, non-persistent device identifiers such as IDFAs, and de-identified persistent device identifiers such as a hashed Android ID);
your social network ID;
and other contextual data about your game play (for example, your level and session length).

The information collected may be used to:

measure how effective ads are, to offer you targeted advertising in order to personalize your experience by showing you advertisements for products and services that are more likely to appeal to you (a practice known as behavioral advertising), and/or
undertake web analytics (like Google Analytics which is used to analyze traffic and other player activity to improve your experience).

Advertisers or ad networks may collect this information through the use of tracking technologies like browser cookies and web beacons, and they may use a single tracking technology or multiple tracking technologies at the same time.

Please note, after clicking on a third party advertisement, you may no longer be on a site hosted by Burny Software Solutions LTD or the social network through which you are playing Burny Software Solutions LTD’s games.

If you do not want to receive tailored in-application advertisements from third parties, please see How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information. Please note that no tailored advertisements will be delivered for Burny Software Solutions LTD games designed for children under 13, though Burny Software Solutions LTD may allow contextual advertisements to be displayed.

Third-Party Service Providers

We will share your information with third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, like processing payments, analyzing data, optimizing game play, e-mail delivery, hosting services, customer service and to help us in our marketing efforts, including managing and delivering contextual and tailored advertisements. We contractually require these third-party service providers to maintain the confidentiality of the information we share with them, and we contractually require them not use your information for anything other than to provide services on our behalf.

Sale or Merger
In the event that Burny Software Solutions LTD undergoes a business transition (including proposed transactions), like a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part its assets (like selling a game), we may disclose or transfer all of your information, including personal information, to the successor organization in the transition. We will make reasonable efforts to let you and other players know (in the way described in Changes to Our Privacy Policy) of the business transition before transferring your personal information.

How to Access, Update and Manage Your Information and Means of Communication

Accessing and Updating Your Information Held by Burny Software Solutions LTD

Manage Information We get from a Third-Party Application

To manage the information Burny Software Solutions LTD receives about you from a third-party application where you play our games, like Facebook, you will need to follow the instructions for the third-party application for updating your information and changing your privacy settings. The privacy management tools for applications on Facebook can be found here.

You also can manage some aspects of information collection and use by visiting the “settings” page of your mobile device and reviewing the permissions of each application or “app.”

Once Burny Software Solutions LTD receives your information from a third-party application or your mobile device, that information is stored and used by Burny Software Solutions LTD in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You may access and update that information as described below.

In most of our games, you may find under “your account” or Settings” section an option to stop e-mail or other notifications.

Opting Out of Third-Party Tailored Advertising

If you are interested in more information about tailored advertising and your choices to prevent third parties from delivering tailored web and mobile web advertising you may visit the following websites:

These opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Burny Software Solutions LTD. Burny Software Solutions LTD does not control or operate these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.

In addition, if you do not want to receive tailored in-application advertisements from third parties that relate to your interests in apps on your mobile device, you may opt- out by adjusting the ad tracking settings on your device. You can also reset the “Advertising Identifier” (like an IDFA) from your mobile device’s settings page, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to the previous “Advertising Identifier.” Further, depending on the platform provider (such as Apple or Google), you may be able to download apps, such as the Digital Advertising Alliance’s “AppChoices” app, that offer to provide you with control regarding the collection and use of cross-app data for tailored advertising. Like the opt-out tools mentioned above for web, these mobile opt-out tools are provided by third parties, not Burny Software Solutions LTD. Burny Software Solutions LTD does not control or operate these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.

Please note that you may still receive advertisements from third parties within Burny Software Solutions LTD’s games even if you opt out of tailored advertising but they will not be based on your activity across unrelated web sites or apps.

Opting Out of Cookie Tracking

You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer or limit the type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit the Adobe website and make changes at the Global Privacy Settings Panel.

If you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of our Services because Burny Software Solutions LTD cookies are necessary to track and enhance your game activities.

When you sign into your Burny Software Solutions LTD account or enter payment information, we or our third-party payment processor use secure socket layer technology ("SSL") to encrypt the transmission of that information. While we take reasonable precautions against possible security breaches of our Services and our customer databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure, and Burny Software Solutions LTD cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur and that third parties will never be able to overcome those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.

Also please note that email and messaging systems are not considered secure, so Burny Software Solutions LTD discourages you from sending Burny Software Solutions LTD personal information through these media. We urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe (including your account password), and to log out of your account after use.
