This is the current revision of the Privacy Policy. (view PDF | view prior revisions)

Effective January 6, 2020

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and disclose information received from users of our Services. “We,” “us” and “our” refer to Holvonix LLC, a California limited liability company (“Holvonix”). “You” and “your” refer to each user of any Service and, as applicable, any individual or entity on behalf of which such individual uses such Service. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings specified in the Terms of Service.

This Privacy Policy applies only to our Services and does not apply to the practices of third parties. Certain Services may reference additional privacy policies, and where such additional policies conflict with this Privacy Policy, those additional policies will control with respect to those Services.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If any revision is material, we will notify you via the applicable Service or by other means. By continuing to access or use such Service after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.

1. Our Collection and Use of Information

We may collect, store, and use information you provide to us, directly or via a third party. This information may include personally identifiable information (“PII”), including but not limited to your name, email address, profile, billing, or account information, and other contents of your transactions and communications, and non-personally identifiable information (“non-PII”). Information means PII or non-PII.

By way of example (but not limitation), you may provide information to us when you:

  • create or use an account,
  • make or attempt to make a purchase or other transaction (including “free” downloads),
  • contact us for support or for any other reason,
  • sign up for a mailing list,
  • use a third-party platform account with a Service,
  • use a Service to distribute, backup, or store User Content or other information,
  • post reviews of our Services or other products, or
  • interact with our social media accounts.

Furthermore, we may automatically collect, store, and use the following information when you use, download, or attempt to use or download a Service:

  • The source by which you arrived at a Service, such as a web page URL, advertisement or search terms
  • How you interact with Services, such as Website pages visited, App screens viewed, buttons and links clicked, emails opened, game-related information and statistics, in-Service purchases, URLs or query terms used, and social interactions, such as “liking” a page
  • The device and software you are using and their settings, such as hardware make and model, screen size and resolution, browser, hardware and software versions, language, locale, and user agent strings
  • Internet connection information, such as IP address, and derived information, such as rough geolocation (not GPS location) and Internet or mobile service provider
  • Precise location (if you choose to let a Service use your precise location)
  • Unique device identifiers
  • Advertising and analytics identifiers, such as the Identifier for Advertising (IDFA) for iOS devices or the Android Advertising ID (AAID) for Android devices (if your device has them), and anonymous cookies or identifiers for Google Analytics, DoubleClick, or other advertising, referral, or affiliate services (“Advertising and Analytics Identifiers”)
  • Other anonymous cookies or similar technologies required for the functioning or security of the Service
  • Information about errors or crashes encountered when using the Services
  • Other server log information, including timestamps

If you use the capture, recording or broadcasting features of a Service, you consent to the recording of your screen, camera, audio and microphone.

Some information may be collected by or associated with first-party or third-party cookies (which are small pieces of text that websites send to and receive from browsers), web beacons, tracking pixels, or similar technologies, such as browser local storage and application data caches. While you may configure your system to disable some or all of these features, Services may not function without them.

In addition, we may collect your information from other parties as described in remainder of this Privacy Policy and from publicly-available sources.

We may use your information to:

  • provide Services to you or others,
  • authenticate and authorize access to Services,
  • process your transactions,
  • respond to or otherwise communicate with you,
  • address any issues that you may have raised,
  • understand how you use the Services,
  • improve or create Services or other products, including research and development,
  • distribute your User Content or other information when you post it publicly or choose to share it with third parties,
  • facilitate your social interactions,
  • publish information about the Services (such as leaderboards),
  • customize content for you,
  • target and serve advertisements,
  • detect or prevent spam, malware, security violations, cheating, or harmful or fraudulent behavior,
  • protect our Services, you or our other users, the public, or Holvonix,
  • meet our accounting, tax, or other legal and regulatory obligations, and
  • enforce the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, our other policies, or our legal rights.

You agree to receive communications from us via the contact method(s) you have provided. If you decide to contact us, we recommend that you minimize the amount of PII and other sensitive information that you include in your communications with us.

Information that you provide to or that is collected by one Service may be used by any of our other Services as well. We may share your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Certain Service features may require additional information and may not function without it.

In consideration for the privilege of using Pre-Release Services, and to the extent permitted by applicable laws or regulations, you agree you have no expectation of privacy concerning your use of any Pre-Release Service. You agree to receive e-mail and other communications from us regarding your experience with Pre-Release Services. With regards to Pre-Release Services available via Apple’s TestFlight program, you further agree that (i) Apple may automatically collect crash data and statistics related to your use of TestFlight and any Pre-Release Service in a personally identifiable form; (ii) Apple may provide this information to us; and (iii) this information may be automatically provided to Apple and to us immediately once any Pre-Release Service is installed (or attempted to be installed) and at any time thereafter.

We and third parties may store and process your information globally. Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide your information to us, we may transfer your information to the United States and process it there.

2. Your Sharing of Information with Third Parties

You may use certain Services to interact with third parties (including without limitation via communication/messaging, multiplayer gaming, collaboration, social media, or sharing features).

Certain Services may contain links to, or (via embedded widgets or otherwise) may provide information to or receive information from, websites or services that are owned or operated by third parties, which may include, but are not necessarily limited to, Twitter, YouTube, Google, Apple, and Facebook. Third-party websites or services may set or use first-party or third-party cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies according to their own policies.

Furthermore, in the course of interacting with such third parties, you, or a Service acting on your behalf, may disclose personally identifiable information to those third parties. For example, your email address or other login credentials or contents of messages you send may be communicated when:

  • Making an App, in-App, or other purchase from Apple’s App Store or iTunes Store, Google Play, a distribution platform, or a reseller
  • Using Apple Game Center, Google Play Games, or other multiplayer platforms
  • Confirming with Apple, Google, or another a distribution platform or reseller that you have an appropriate license to use the App
  • Posting Service-related content or comments on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or other social networks

You may disclose information about yourself or others in the course of contributing content about the Services or us to store, review, rating or social network websites or apps. This information may take the form of, but will not necessarily be limited to, forums posts, reviews, audio or video recordings, comments, blog posts, chats or the like. Any such information may become publicly available, thus you should have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality with respect to that information.

When you create User Content, it may contain your PII or non-PII. If you choose to share any User Content, we and any third parties may store, use, and distribute that User Content for any purpose.

When you use a payment processor or make a purchase from or otherwise enter into a transaction involving a third party concerning Holvonix-related products or services, you may provide to that party (and that party may share with us) information including PII and non-PII, but we will not receive or store your full credit or debit card numbers.

We are not responsible for content that you provide to third parties (including any such content that third parties may share with us) or that you receive from third parties. We are not responsible for those third parties’ privacy or security practices. We recommend that you carefully review those third parties’ privacy policies, including any opt-out facilities they may provide. We are not responsible for any inaccurate link to any website of, or any inaccurate information about, any third party.

3. Our Sharing of Information with Third Parties

We may share your information with our third-party service providers (including but not limited to web, email, content delivery, or file hosts, computer and physical security providers, social media platforms, Service distribution platforms and resellers, payment processors, customer service providers, financial services, analytics and advertising providers, auditors, accountants, and attorneys) so they may process and store it on our behalf for the purposes listed in Section 1.

We may share your information with our subsidiary, parent, or sister companies (that may exist now or in the future).

We may share non-PII publicly.

We may share any information (including PII) that you instruct us to share. When you use our Services to interact with third parties, you instruct us to collect, store, and share your information (including PII) associated with those interactions (including without limitation message content, transaction and gameplay information, and User Content).

Via our Services, we may publicly share and display non-PII, such as gameplay information and statistics, without publicly associating it with your PII. For example, we may publish high-scores, lists of popular or recently-played songs, comparisons of scores of users from different states or on different in-game teams, or other leaderboard or competitive information on our Websites or in our Apps.

If you use a third-party platform account (including without limitation an Apple, Facebook, Google, or Twitter account) with a Service, the Service may authenticate you with the third party and we may collect, store, and use information, including PII, from you and/or the third party that allows us to associate you with the third-party platform account. Furthermore, in order to provide social features of the Services, we may (i) collect, store, and use your profile picture, name, information about your friends, and any other information you choose to share with us from such a third-party platform account and (ii) automatically associate with, and post to, your third-party platform account any Service information, including without limitation the fact that you’ve used the Service, gameplay scores and achievements, and identifiers of and links to content you have played. Service information associated with or posted to your third-party platform account may be automatically shared with or visible to your friends or the public, within our Services, the third-party platform, and elsewhere, and such information may be associated publicly with your PII. We recommend that you review the privacy settings associated with any third-party platform accounts carefully.

In order to provide push notifications to your devices, we may collect, store, and use device identifiers and transmit such notifications through third-party services. In order to backup and/or share across your devices your Service data, we may collect and store your Service data and share it with third-party services including without limitation Apple iCloud, Google Cloud Storage, and Google’s Android Backup Service.

We may need to disclose PII or non-PII when required by law, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws, including but not limited to disclosure to government entities. We will only reveal such information when we have a good faith belief that the request meets applicable legal standards, or that it is necessary to exercise our legal rights, or defend against legal claims, or where in our reasonable belief, an individual’s physical safety may be at risk or threatened.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, we may sell, transfer or otherwise share some of our assets, including PII and non-PII. Any third party to which we transfer, sell or share such assets will have the right to continue to use the information that you provide to us.

4. Advertising. Analytics and Your Choices

We may gather, consolidate, and analyze information about you and serve advertisements to you, and we may use third-party analytics, referral, and advertising products, including but not limited to products provided by Apple Inc., Facebook, Inc., Google LLC, Twitter, Inc., Unity Technologies, and their subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, and independent ad networks, to do so. For more information about Google’s use of data, please see How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps. For more information about Facebook’s use of data, please see the Facebook Data Policy. For more information about Unity Technologies’s use of data, please see the Unity Technologies Privacy Policy.

We and third-party vendors may:

  • use web beacons, first-party cookies or identifiers, third-party cookies or identifiers, URL tracking parameters, and Advertising and Analytics Identifiers individually or together;
  • combine or link information from one or more Services and third-party analytics, advertising, or store services;
  • use cookies, identifiers, web beacons, URL tracking parameters, or other storage to identify referrals and to serve ads based on your prior visits to or use of our Services or others’ websites or apps; and
  • use Advertising and Analytics Identifiers and interest and demographic categories derived from them to better target advertisements, analyze use of our Services, track conversions, and re-market to and segment our audience.

If your system supports the required settings, you may use instructions described or linked below to control or opt-out of some advertising or analytics features, such as interest-based ads:

If you do not wish to see ads or have analytics collected, you should not use any of the Services. Opt-outs will not disable all ads or analytics features. Our Services may not respond to “Do Not Track” signals.

You can check the settings, information, “gear,” or similar menus or dialogs of a Service for any additional privacy choices the Service may offer.

5. Protecting Your Security

While we use reasonable security measures to protect your information under our control, no security measures are perfect. To the extent permitted by applicable laws or regulations, we are not responsible for circumvention of any security measures or privacy settings contained in any Service. If we learn of a security breach, we will notify you if and as required by applicable law.

We cannot control the security of your devices, software, email accounts, Internet service providers, the network connections and other systems used to interact with our Services, or of others with whom you may choose to share information (together, “Other Systems”). To the extent permitted by applicable laws or regulations, we are not responsible for any disclosure, modification, or deletion of your information caused by Other Systems. We recommend you carefully review the security and privacy settings, including appropriate use of encryption, passwords, and multi-factor authentication that you deem necessary, for Other Systems.

You agree to use unique passwords for accounts that you maintain with us. You agree not to send us any social security numbers, drivers’ license or identification card numbers, tax identification numbers, passport numbers, military identification numbers, account numbers, credit or debit card numbers, security codes, access codes, passwords, answers to security questions, medical information, health insurance information, or any “personal information” as defined by California Civil Code Section 1798.82, except for the sole purpose of entering your password in a Service’s log-in or account settings or creation form.
