Aquiris Privacy Policy for Apple Arcade Games

Last Updated: 16/06/2022

Aquiris Game Studio LLC (“Aquiris”) is committed to maintaining robust privacy protections for its users. Our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and safeguard the information you provide to us.

This Privacy Policy applies only to Horizon Chase 2 (“Game”) that is available through Apple Arcade. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Aquiris. “You” refers to you, as a user of our Game. Because You are accessing this Game through Apple Arcade, Apple`s privacy policies and terms of service also apply, and Aquiris is not responsible for Apple`s terms, policies, or practices.

By accessing our Game, you accept our Privacy Policy and End-User License Agreement (“EULA”), and you consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

I. DATA COLLECTION

We may collect information from or about you when you download or use the Game. We only receive very limited data about you. In order to play or use the Game, we collect (i) your Apple Game Center ID, (ii) your progress in the Game, and (iii) information about your play activity. On its own, the Apple Game Center ID cannot identify you, nor can it be used to identify you if coupled with any other data we hold about you. If you do not want us to collect this information, then you must delete the Game from your device and, if you have enabled saving information in iCloud, from iCloud.

In addition to the Game Center ID, a unique token (“User ID”) may also be created about you which is held and controlled by us. We process this token in order to provide multiplayer functionality and other online functionality within the Game. We cannot identify you from the information we hold.

You can turn off tracking of this information in the Game`s settings menu; however, if you turn tracking off, certain features of the Game will not work. For example, you will not be able to play the Game with other online users.

Apple provides us with non-identifiable data provided to help us understand usage of our game (e.g., App Analytics and audience engagement).

A. KIDS’ DATA COLLECTION

We handle data from children under 13 years of age, or the equivalent minimum age in the child’s relevant jurisdiction, in the same way as other users and as described in this Policy. We limit our data collection and use persistent identifiers to support the internal operations of the game only. If you are a parent, you can decline to have that data collected from your child by turning off data collection for our Game and signing your child out of Game Center. If you wish to request deletion of the data we have collected as described in this Policy, send your solicitation to dpo@aquiris.com.

II. DATA USE

We use the information collected about you for the following purposes:

  • Providing, administering, and facilitating your use of the Game, including:
    undefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefinedundefined
  • Data purging: deleting your data after a period of inactivity or for any other reason at our sole discretion (for example, upon a user’s request, we may remove a user’s individual data and game progress); and
  • Trouble-shooting errors or issues with the Game.

III. DISCLOSURES TO THIRD PARTIES

We will not share data about You to third parties for those third parties’ own purposes. We will only share Your information (including personal information, if any) with the following third parties or under the circumstances described below.

  • We will share Your information with our third-party business partners who assist us in delivering and optimizing our Services, such as our platform partners like Apple. When we share Your information with third-party service providers and business partners, we ensure that we have appropriate agreements in place to protect your information (as required by applicable data protection laws).
  • Where we, in our sole discretion, have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary:

  • Business transfers, sales or mergers or divestitures.

In the event we undergo a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition by another entity, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, Your information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge and consent that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of our assets may continue to process Your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. If our information practices change at any time in the future, we will post the policy changes to our website so that You may opt out of the new information practices. We suggest that you check our website periodically if you are concerned about how Your information is used.

IV. DATA RETENTION

We will retain Your information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy – for a maximum of 180 calendar days from your last use of the Game – unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Please note that if You store information locally on Your wireless device and/or in the iCloud then information may remain there. If You would like to delete Your information from Your wireless device or iCloud, please follow the instructions provided by Your wireless device provider or Apple.

V. DECLINING OR WITHDRAWING PERMISSION FOR DATA AND DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

A. CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS

If you are a California resident and we have collected personal information (as defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act) about you, then, starting January 1, 2020, you may also request that we:

  • Provide You the categories of personal information we collect and disclose about You; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting Your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share personal information. Such information is also set forth in this Policy.

We will consider all requests and respond within the time period stated by applicable law. Please note Your rights and choices vary depending upon your location, and that we may request You provide us with information necessary to confirm your identity before responding to Your request as required or permitted by applicable law. Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For example, we need certain types of information so that we can provide the Game to You or to comply with a legal obligation. And if you ask us to delete certain information, You may no longer be able to access or use the Game.

B. NEVADA CONSUMERS

Under a Nevada privacy law, certain Nevada residents may opt out of the “sale” (as defined in that law) of certain categories of information about them for monetary consideration to a person for that person to license or sell such information to additional persons. As of the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we do not engage in such “sales” of information covered by that law. However, if You are a qualifying Nevada resident, You may submit a request to opt out of future “sales” by us under that Nevada law by writing to us as described below. We reserve the right to take reasonable steps to verify Your identity and the authenticity of the request. Once verified, we will maintain Your request in the event our practices change.

VI. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect Your information from unauthorized access. We further protect Your information from potential security breaches by implementing certain technological security measures including encryption and secure socket layer technology. However, these measures do not guarantee that Your information will not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time. By using our Game, You acknowledge that You understand and agree to assume these risks.

Any login credentials to your wireless device or Apple Arcade subscription, such as a username or password, are important security features. As such, it is Your responsibility to protect such credentials. Do not share Your password with any third parties. If Your password has been compromised for any reason, You should change it immediately.

Aquiris reserves the right to change this policy and our EULA at any time. We will notify You of significant changes to our Privacy Policy by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
