Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy will be effective from July 8, 2018.

Introduction

The Brogrammers develops and publishes social games for mobile devices. "The Brogrammers," or "we" or "us" refers to The Brogrammers.

This Privacy Policy applies whenever you play our games or otherwise access any of our other products, services, content provided by The Brogrammers, together referred to as "Services." This Privacy Policy describes:

what information we collect, how we collect it, and why
how we use that information and with whom we share it
how we protect the information we store about you

If you do not want The Brogrammers to collect, store, use or share your information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy, you may not play The Brogrammers‘s games or use The Brogrammers's Services.

Information We Collect and How We Collect It

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

If you play The Brogrammers'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, The Brogrammers may receive certain information about you from the provider of the third-party application. The information we receive depends on the The Brogrammers's 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, The Brogrammers 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 for your friends;
the login e-mail you provided to that third-party application when you registered with it;
your gender;
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 The Brogrammers.

If you access our Services from a third-party application or connect our Services to a third-party application, you should also read that third-party application's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

If you are unclear about what information a third-party application is sharing with us, please go to the third-party application to find out more about their privacy practices.

Other Information from Your Mobile Device

If you play The Borgrammers games on your mobile device, in addition to your device identifiers, we may also collect:

the name you have associated with your device;
your country; and
your specific geolocation;
information about our apps you have on your device.

Information About You That You Share With Us Directly

When you use our Services (whether through a social network or through The Brogrammers 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.

We may also let you create a player profile, separate from your social networking site profile (for example, your Facebook profile), that other The Brogrammers 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;
details about the games you play; and

Payment Information

If you purchase a license to use in-game virtual currency or virtual items in a game you play, our third-party payment processor will collect the billing and financial information it needs to process your charges. This may include your postal address, e-mail address and financial information. The Brogrammers does not collect or store your financial information, like credit card numbers. However, The Brogrammers'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. The Brogrammers may also 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. Our Terms of Service explain our policies and terms relevant to our charges, billing practices, third-party credits and virtual currencies. Please note that purchases of third party credits or currencies may also be subject to those parties' policies.

Customer Support Correspondence

Except as provided herein, when you ask for help from our Customer Support, 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 The Brogrammers 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.

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.

How We Use the Information We Collect

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 operate, improve and optimize our Services and our players' experiences;
to create your game accounts and allow you to play our games;
to identify and suggest connections with other The Brogrammers 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 The Brogrammers's rights and property in connection with our Services;
to prevent fraud or potentially illegal activities, and to enforce our Terms of Service;
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 The Brogrammers, 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 such as "crops ready" 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 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 The Brogrammers 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 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 The Brogrammers) 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.

Safety, Security and Compliance with Law

Your information, and the contents of all of your online communications in our Services and between You and The Brogrammers may be accessed and monitored as needed to provide our Service and may be disclosed:

when we have a good faith belief that we have to disclose the information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena);
to satisfy any laws or regulations that apply;
where we believe in our sole discretion that the Service is being used in committing a crime, including to report such criminal activity or to share information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection, credit risk reduction, and other security precautions;
when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the health and/or safety of you, another person or the public generally; and
to protect the rights or property of The Brogrammers and other applicable third parties, including to enforce our Terms of Service.

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 The Brogrammers 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

Information We Receive From a Third-Party Application Where You Play Our Games or From Your Mobile Device

To manage the information The Brogrammers 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. To review and update information associated with your The Brogrammers game profile in certain games, visit the "settings" page in that game. 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 The Brogrammers receives your information from a third-party application or your mobile device, that information is stored and used by The Brogrammers in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You may access and update that information as described below.

Accessing and Updating Your Information Held by The Brogrammers

If you want to review, delete, or change the information The Brogrammers has about you or have additional questions, e-mail us at kbinfotech11@gmail.com

Stopping Use of Your Information

If you no longer want The Borgrammers to make active use of your information, you may send an e-mail to kbinfotech11@gmail.com. Place "Delete My Account" in the subject line and include your first name, last name, e-mail address and your social network ID for the social network from which you access our Services (if applicable) in the body of the e-mail (for example, your Facebook user ID). We will respond to your request within thirty days. Please note that certain records, for example those relating to payments or customer service matters, will be held for legal and accounting purposes. If you have sent content through or posted content on the Service, we may not be able to delete it.

Opting Out of Geolocation

If you have previously allowed us to access your geolocation data, you can stop making geolocation available to us by visiting your mobile device's settings for the relevant application or the "settings" page for the relevant game.

Opting Out of Promotional Emails from The Brogrammers

If you want to stop receiving promotional e-mails from The Brogrammers, click on the "unsubscribe" link in any promotional email from The Brogrammers. Please note that once we receive your request, it may take an additional period of time for your opt-out to become effective. Your unsubscribe or e-mail preference change will be processed promptly, and in no event longer than ten business days.

Privacy Policies of Linked Third-Party Services and Advertisers

Our websites and games may contain advertisements from Third-Party Services, which are companies other than The Brogrammers that may link to their own websites, online services or mobile applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these Third-Party Services. If you have any questions about how these Third-Party Services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

Our Policies Concerning Children

Most of our websites and games are not for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 should not use these websites or games at any time. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that information from our records.

How Long We Keep Your Information

How long we retain your information depends on why we collected it and how we use it. We will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements. For instance, we may retain some information for a few years after you have closed your account with us if this is necessary to meet our legal obligations or to exercise, defend or establish legal rights.

Security of Your Information

We implement security measures to help protect the security of your information both online and offline. We take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These measures vary based upon the sensitivity of your information.

If you have an account registered directly with The Brogrammers, your profile information is protected by the password you use to access your The Brogrammers account. It is important that you protect and maintain your The Brogrammers account's security and that you immediately tell us of any unauthorized use of your account. If you forget the password to your The Brogrammers account, the Service allows you to request that instructions be sent to you that explain how to reset your password. If you access our Services through a social network and your social network account is hacked, this may lead to someone playing your The Brogrammers games without your permission. So, be careful to keep your social network account information, including your social network account password, secure as well. We urge you to log out of your The Brogrammers account and any social network account you have used to access our Services after you use it.

When you sign into your The Brogrammers account or enter payment information, we or our third party payment processor use encryption to transmit that information.

While we take precautions against possible security breaches of our Services and our customer databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information while it is being transmitted to our Service. Any transmission is at your own risk. If you have questions about the security of our websites, please contact us at kbinfotech11@gmail.com.
