Pixel Tags/Web Beacons. A pixel tag (also known as a web beacon) is a piece of code embedded on the Site that collects information about users’ engagement on that web page.

These social media features are either hosted by a Third Party or directly on our Website. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

The types of Service Providers (processors) to whom we entrust Personal Information include Service Providers for: (i) provision of IT and related services; (ii) provision of information and services you have requested; (iii) payment processing; (iv) customer service activities; and (v) in connection with the provision of the Services.

Displaying to Friends and Other Users. Our Services support you to interact with other players. If you play our games 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, other players, regardless of whether they are your social network friends or not, will be able to see descriptions of your game activity, communicate with you within our Services if you use the chat feature of our games and view your game profile, which may include your name or a “game name” and your profile photo. In certain cases, your profile photo can reveal your social network ID or player ID, and access to a social network ID or player ID may allow others to view the public information associated with your related social network profile or the game account. Also, the content you post may be displayed in the chat feature of the Games. We are not responsible for privacy practices of the other users who will view and use the posted information.

 

•
Marketing - Interest-based or Targeted Advertising and Third-party Marketing. Through our Services, NINE LAKES LIMITED may allow Third-party advertising partners to set tracking tools (e.g., Cookies) to collect the following information within our Services:

 

•
performance data (like the number of clicks on an advertisement);

 

•
certain technical information (for example, IP addresses, non-persistent device identifiers such as Advertising ID and de-identified persistent device identifiers such as a hashed Android ID);

 

•
your social network ID;

 

•
other contextual data about your game play (for example, your level and session length); and

 

•
pseudonymous data, not directly identifying information (e.g., OS name and versions, device models, time stamp).

 

These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) to measure how effective ads are for delivering targeted advertisements to you about our games within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based or targeted advertising.” We may allow access to other data collected by the Services to facilitate transmittal of information that may be useful, relevant, valuable or otherwise of interest to you.

 

•
Disclosures to Protect Us or Others (e.g., as Required by Law and Similar Disclosures). We may access, preserve, and disclose your Personal Information, other account information and content if we believe doing so is required or appropriate: (i) to comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; (ii) to respond to your requests; (iii) to protect yours, ours or others’ rights, property or safety; (iv) to enforce NINE LAKES LIMITED's policies or contracts; (v) to collect amounts owed to NINE LAKES LIMITED; (vi) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (vii) if we, in good faith, believe that disclosure is otherwise necessary or advisable.

 

In addition, from time to time, server logs may be reviewed for security purposes—e.g., to detect unauthorized activity on the Services. In such cases, server log data containing IP addresses may be shared with law enforcement bodies, so they may identify users in connection with their investigation of the unauthorized activities.

 

•
Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets or transition of service to another provider, then your information may be sold or transferred as part of such a transaction as permitted by law and/or contract.

All Personal Information collected via or by NINE LAKES LIMITED may be stored anywhere in the world, including, but not limited to, in Hong Kong, the United States, the European Union, in the cloud, on our servers and on the servers of our affiliates or the servers of our Service Providers. When we transfer your Personal Information internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that it is treated securely, lawfully and in the manner, we describe here. Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so the privacy laws applicable to the places where your information is transferred to or stored, used or processed in may be different from the privacy laws applicable to the place where you are resident.

If you are using our Services from the European Union or other regions with laws governing data collection and use, please note that you are agreeing to the transfer of your information to Hong Kong and to Processing of your data globally.

NINE LAKES LIMITED may also collect location-based information if you use our mobile applications. You can opt out of this collection by changing the settings on your mobile device.

 

Cookies and Interest-based or Targeted Advertising

As noted, you may stop or restrict the placement of Cookies on your computer or remove them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences.

 

On mobile devices, you can 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. Furthermore, 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 provide you with control regarding the collection and use of cross-app data for tailored advertising. Like the opt out tools mentioned for web, these opt out tools are provided by Third Parties, and NINE LAKES LIMITED does not operate or control these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.

 

To be clear, whether you are using our opt out or an online industry opt out, these cookie-based opt outs must be performed on each device and browser that you wish to have opted out. For example, if you have opted out on your computer browser, that opt out will not be effective on your mobile device.

 

7. Rights of Access, Rectification, Erasure, and Restriction

You have the right to request access to and rectification or erasure of Personal Information or restriction of processing, the right to object and the right to data portability.

 

The general right to object applies to all types of processing described in this Privacy Policy. Unlike the right to object against processing for direct marketing purposes, we are only obliged to follow an objection if you state specific grounds relating to your particular situation.

 

When otherwise permitted by applicable law, you can open a support ticket within the Games or, alternatively, send an e-mail to ninelakesinfo@ninelakespteltdhk.com to request access to, receive (port), seek rectification or request erasure of Personal Information held about you by NINE LAKES LIMITED.

Such requests will be processed in line with applicable laws.

 

Although NINE LAKES LIMITED makes good faith efforts to provide Individuals with access to their Personal Information, there may be circumstances in which NINE LAKES LIMITED is unable to provide access, including but not limited to when the information contains legal privilege, would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, when the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the Individual’s privacy in the case in question or when it is commercially proprietary. If NINE LAKES LIMITED determines that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries. To protect your privacy, NINE LAKES LIMITED will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your Personal Information.
