Sign Up and Survey Information:
Any information you provide to us, and any information you choose to share about yourself as part of your use of any IVY Offering, may be stored as entered, such as your authentication method and information.
Cookies and Web Beacons:
Cookies are text files that we and our service providers may place on your device's browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your shopping cart between visits, personalized IVY advertisements on third party websites and mobile applications, and personalized third party advertisements within certain IVY Offerings. We may use Adobe Flash cookies to remember your settings, preferences and usage within an IVY Offering. Web beacons, clear. gifs or similar technologies are small pieces of code that we and our service providers may place on an IVY Offering to monitor and collect data about visitor behavior within the IVY Offering.
We may receive a confirmation when you open email from IVY, if your computer supports such capabilities. We may also track other types of information, including commercial information and internet or other electronic network activity information, such as what games users download and install, any download errors, what games users purchase, how long our users have been participating in any IVY Offerings, the last time a user accessed an IVY Offering, user behavior and gameplay (e.g., which options you choose, your progress in the game, how long you play), whether a user has won any of our games, sweepstakes, contests or other promotions featured on an IVY Offering, ad response measurement and other IVY Offerings analytics.
We use cookies for a variety of reasons, including to: (i) analyze the usage of IVY Offerings; (ii) provide a more personalized experience; (iii) manage advertising; (iv) allow you to more easily log in to IVY Offerings; (v) help make your use of IVY Offerings more efficient and more valuable by providing you with a customized experience and recognizing you when you return. We may also employ web beacons or other technology for a variety of reasons such as: (i) allowing us to know if a certain page was visited or whether an email was opened; and (ii) tracking pixels, which allow us to advertise more efficiently by excluding our current users from certain promotional messages or identifying the source of a new installation.
Please consult your browser settings for information about whether you can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer, limit the type of cookies you allow or refuse cookies all together. You may need to take additional steps to refuse or disable other types of technologies, such as Adobe Flash cookies. We invite you to visit the support websites of the various browsers you may use to learn on how to block the use of cookies. However, you may not be able to use some or all of the features of IVY Offerings if you refuse/disable cookies.
Social Networking Sites:
If you access an IVY Offering via a third-party social networking site (a "Social Game"), IVY may receive information about your social networking site profile, including without limitation the information you make publicly available, your social networking site user ID, your first, last and user names, profile and cover photos. If you invite new members into your Social Games network or send messages through Social Games, we may collect the information associated with those messages, including your friends' social networking site user IDs, email addresses and content.

We may still collect and/or use other information about your device to, among other things, analyze and measure marketing performance. If you initially consent to tracking, you may later disable that permission in your device settings or may withdraw your consent for specific apps.

To Provide Services to You:
We may use your information to provide you the IVY Offerings and our other services. We may use your username, email address, and password to uniquely identify you as a user of an IVY Offering, to provide you with services and to process transactions. We may use or display your username and icon or profile photo, if applicable, for the purposes of rankings, competitions or sweepstakes, chat identification, and/or game high scores. If you choose to provide a username within an IVY Offering, please do not provide as your username any information that identifies you in real life, such as your real name. We may use your date of birth to confirm your eligibility to participate in IVY Offerings.
Advertising Purposes:
Subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, we may use your contact information to process our promotional newsletters and/or email campaigns and to send you updates, security alerts, or administrative messages relating to IVY Offerings. Your contact information will allow us to notify you about new features, enhancements, resolution of IVY Offerings problems, handle and/or route your customer support questions and issues, and inform you of upgrade opportunities, sweepstakes, contests, prizes, and/or special events.
If our "Tell a friend" feature is available within a particular IVY Offering and you choose to participate in it, your email will be shared with the person to whom you send the IVY Offering using this feature. We may use an IP address to surface the appropriate country-based version of an IVY Offering to a user, or to exercise our ability to restrict access to the site by users who have violated our Terms of Use.
We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other technologies, such as mobile device identifiers, to enhance your experience with IVY Offerings. These technologies enable us and our service providers to run our affiliate programs and provide you with customized content or offerings, such as personalized IVY advertisements on other websites, devices and mobile applications and personalized third-party advertisements within certain IVY Offerings. Cookies also enable you to automatically sign in when you access an IVY Offering, and offer other operational activities within an IVY Offering. We and our third-party service providers may also use cookies and other technologies to manage and measure the performance of third-party advertisements within certain IVY Offerings, and IVY advertisements on third party sites and mobile applications. This helps us and our service providers provide more relevant advertising to you. We and our third-party service providers may also use web beacons and other technologies to monitor user behavior and collect information about visitors viewing a web page.
Product Improvement and Security:
We may use information collected to compile statistics and conduct analysis about our user community for the purpose of enhancing our IVY Offerings, or for security purposes.
Linking with Social Networks:
If you access a Social Game, we may use your social networking site profile ID to link your social networking site account with your activities within the Social Game or offer personalized IVY advertisements on the social networking site. We may use your social networking site first, last and user names and icon to identify you to the social networking site account you've linked to your activities within the Social Game, as well as for the purposes of rankings, competitions, sweepstakes, game high scores and/or identification to your social network.
If you access a Social Game and provide us with another person's contact information for purposes of delivering information through a Social Game, we may use this information to contact and, if necessary, remind that person that she or he has been invited to join a Social Game or received content through a Social Game. All invitees are provided with the option not to receive further invitations from IVY.
SECURITY
We at IVY take reasonable measures to help protect the information we collect from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. While we have employed security technologies and procedures to assist in safeguarding your personal data, no system or network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
SHARING INFORMATION
We may share the categories of information described above with IVY Affiliates, other companies of the Aristocrat Group to which IVY belongs, and as described below.
Third Party Marketplaces and Service Providers:
We may disclose your personal information to third party business partners, marketplaces, and third parties who perform services for us, such as credit card processing, prize fulfillment, delivering packages, sending postal mail, collecting and analyzing data, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), and providing advertising and marketing assistance, including serving ads on our behalf on third party websites and mobile applications and serving ads on behalf of third parties within certain IVY Offerings.
Business Transfers:
As IVY continues to grow, we might sell or buy certain subsidiaries and/or business units. In such transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferred assets. Also, in the unlikely event that IVY or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information would in most cases be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of IVY and Others:
We may also disclose your information if there is a violation of the Terms of Use or other agreements; if we have a good faith belief that the law requires it; or if needed to protect the rights, property or safety of IVY, our customers or others. This includes exchanging information with entities for fraud detection and protection, and credit risk reduction as well as in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
California Consumer Privacy Act and Additional Legal Disclosures:
As described above, IVY shares information for the business purposes that are described and allows third parties to access information about your use of the IVY Offerings through cookies and other tracking technologies. To learn about how Google processes your information and what choices you may have, visit their site here.
ACCESSING YOUR INFORMATION AND YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES
Depending on where you live, you also may have rights to request that we delete personal information that IVY holds about you, to request that we provide such information to you in a portable format, or to request additional information about how we collect or disclose your personal information.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights and choices except where permitted by law. For example, some of the functionality and features available on the IVY Offerings may change or no longer be available to you if you have requested that we delete your information.
Once we receive your request, we may verify it through your account or by requesting information sufficient to confirm your identity. If you would like to use an authorized agent registered with the California Secretary of State to exercise your rights, we may request evidence that you have provided such agent with power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to exercise rights on your behalf.
Promotional Email Communications:
Unless you are located in the EEA or certain other jurisdictions, when you create a customer account or provide access to your email address via an IVY Offering, you may be automatically registered to receive one or more of our promotional e- newsletters.
Note that when you provide an email address through an IVY Offering, we treat that as a request to be enrolled in one of our promotional e-newsletter lists, even if you previously opted out of receiving newsletters from us. If you change your mind and wish to opt out again, you may do so at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any newsletter and then following the instructions provided. If you express interest in an IVY Offering by clicking on a banner within a newsletter, you may be automatically registered to receive newsletters relating to the IVY Offering that appeared in the banner.
At any time, you may opt-out of receiving a newsletter by selecting the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any newsletter. We treat each IVY Offering individually, so if you are receiving mailings from more than one IVY Offering, if you want to unsubscribe you must do so with respect to each individually or you can unsubscribe universally by contacting us at http://ivymobilegame.com/index.php/company/index.html. Please note that we reserve the right to send you non-promotional, account or administrative emails even if you opt out of receiving promotional e-newsletters.
Mobile Advertising:
Most mobile devices provide the ability to opt out of the collection and use of information from the apps you use for purposes of serving ads targeted to your interests. For more information, and to exercise these choices, consult the settings on your device.
Social Games:
With respect to Social Games, you may manage your own social network privacy preferences through your social networking site account.
Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms:
Some web browsers transmit “do-not-track” signals to websites. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.
THIRD-PARTIES
IVY Offerings may allow you to play or direct IVY to share information through social media (such as by logging in through a social media account or using a "Like" button") or contain links to social media services or other third parties. The use of these features and links are subject to the privacy policies of those companies and your settings on those services. IVY has no control over, and is not responsible for, the information submitted to or collected by social networks or other third parties. We encourage you to review those third-party privacy policies to understand the way your information may be collected and handled by such third parties.
CHAT & MESSAGING
IVY Offerings may operate message boards and/or chat areas where users can exchange ideas and communicate with each other. When posting to a message board or chat area, the information is being made publicly available in an online environment. Any information posted is the sole responsibility of the individual user.
IVY Offerings are generally designed for users who are at least 13 years of age and older and therefore such Offerings generally do not knowingly collect or make use of "personal information" as defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") from children under 13, except as consistent with applicable law.
Some IVY Offerings may allow children under 13 to participate in certain activities or gain access to limited gameplay or features within an application, but these offerings are designed to collect only certain device identifiers from children under 13 and use those identifiers solely for purposes that support the internal operations of those offerings or as otherwise permitted by law. We do not knowingly allow children under 13 (16 in the EEA) years old to register for an account or otherwise provide any personal information to us, and we do not collect or use personal information from children under 13 for targeted advertising purposes.
IVY respects the privacy of parents and children and is committed to complying with COPPA. If a parent believes that his or her child has submitted personal information to IVY, he or she can contact us via email at help@ivymobile.com. We will take steps to promptly delete the information upon learning that it relates to a child under the age of 13 (16 in the EEA). We recognize the importance of safeguarding the privacy of children and encourage parents to check and monitor their children's use of online activities regularly.

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we post changes to this Privacy Policy, we will revise the "last modified" date at the top of this page.
