Ltd Pty. Other companies within the Quote Boss, Ltd Pty. group may also

2. What types of information do we collect

We collect information from a number of different sources, but most of it
comes directly from you when you play our apps, or interact with our websites,
advertising or other Services. Broadly the information we collect about you
relates to the type of device you are using apps you use on your device and
may include information that you submit when creating an account with us
or which you allow us to access when you connect to your social network
accounts or other 3rd party accounts through our Services. We may also

In more detail, depending on which of our Services you interact with we may
collect and 
process the following types of information: 
details about how you use and interact with our advertising and other Services
(for example, 
information about how and when you play our website(s), what
device you use to access our 
services or details regarding profile visits, as set
out in the section entitled “QuoteBoss 
Profile” in section 3, below); 

information that you provide us with when you fill in forms, answer questions
or complete 
surveys when using any of our Services, when you create an
account with us or if you invite 
your friends to use our Services;

we may keep a record of that 
correspondence; your interactions with us on
our social media channels; 

information we collect via cookies and other similar technologies, as explained

platforms, 
websites, or social network services or use other social or user-to-user

3. Creating a Profile and using our services socially

3.1 Profile

■ When you access our services, we will give you a unique identifier which we
will associate with an account known as a “Profile”. That Profile will be
specific to the services played on an individual platform or device and will
remain anonymous unless you choose to add your personal information to
that Profile. Others users in an app may be able to see your publicly viewable
profile, reputation on the App, and other information such as your
achievements, but no personally identifying information will be visible to other
users. You can choose to add your personal information to your Profile at
your own choosing, so that you can be identifiable to your friends.

■ Your Profile and the information it contains, such as your achievements, in
App reputation, etc., will be visible to other users of our services. If you
choose to add personal information to your Profile it will be visible to your
friends and other users anywhere in the world.

■ If you choose to view another individual’s profile, that individual and other
users of our Services will know that you have visited them because some of
your Social Data and a link to your Profile may be displayed on that
individual’s Profile. They will also be able to visit your Profile. You may also
be able to see which other users have viewed your Profile.
3.2 Connecting with third party social networks

■ You can choose to log into using your pre-approved 3rd party websites,
apps, or social networks (“external accounts”). If you do this, you will be
able to use your external accounts to log in on multiple devices and
synchronise progress across those devices. We will receive some of your
external account information and exactly what information we receive will
depend on your settings and what is available to us. We may use this
information for the purposes described in this privacy policy, including in
order to advertise to you or your friends. This may also allow you to access
other functionality in our services and other services, such as inviting friends
to play, asking other users for credits and 1-2-1 messaging. If we implement
a Facebook login, logging in with your Facebook account will not allow us to
post anything to your Facebook page without your permission.

■ In the future we may also allow you to associate your Profile with other social
network accounts and use your log in details for that account to log into your
Profile. Where we do this, either we or your social network service provider
will let you know what information we will receive about you from that social
network.

■ Where you connect or associate your Profile with any third party social
network or platform, that social network applications or platform will provide
certain information about you to us. These social networks and platforms are
created and maintained by a third party which is not a part of, or controlled by
Quote Boss, Ltd Pty. We may use this data for the purposes described in this
privacy policy, including in order to advertise to you or your friends. You
should ensure that you read the third party social network or platform’s terms
of service and privacy policies to understand how they treat your data and
what information they might share with us.

■ You can make changes to what data a third party social network or platform
shares with us, or stop our Services interacting with that social network or
platform by adjusting your settings with that third party provider, however you
may find you are not able to enjoy all of the same features of our Services.

 

4. How do we use the information that we have about you?

We, our suppliers and group companies may use the information we collect about you for a

number of purposes. These include providing our apps and other services to you, optimising
the services we provide, enabling in-app purchases, storing your progress and enabling
social network integration, providing customer service support when you need it. We also
use your information in connection with our advertising purposes. For more information, see

other reasons why we need to use your information, such as maintaining records or
protecting our legal rights. A more detailed description of how we use your information is set
out below.

 

4.1 Providing and optimising our Services

research or business intelligence, for example to track potential problems or

■ We have a number of social and community channels which we use to
communicate with our users. If you choose to interact with those channels,
we will receive your information and use it in connection with those channels,
including to engage with you, and we may also republish your posts to those
channels.

4.7 Competitions

■ From time to time we may run competitions, including in services and via our
community channels. Those competitions will have their own specific terms
and conditions, but we will use personal information that you provide in
relation to that competition for the purposes of running the competition.We
may also publish the names and entries of competition entrants.

4.8 Crime and fraud prevention

also need to pass your information to fraud prevention agencies and other
organisations involved in crime and fraud prevention, such as the police.

specific example, if you live in the European Union, this would include for the
purpose of providing VAT invoices where we are required to do so by law or
where requested by you.

5. Advertising and promotion

5.1 What adverts you may see as a result of using our Services

■ We promote our own services in a number of ways. That might include cross
promoting one of our services. It might also include advertising our services
within websites and other media published by others, or sending you
marketing materials by email.

■ Like many companies, we may use information about you in connection with
advertising. This includes using information that we have about you, such as,
trying to make sure you only see advertising that might be of interest to you.
We may also use the information that we have about you to help a third party
deliver advertisements that are tailored to you based on a determination of
your characteristics or interests by us based on the information that we have
about you.

■ As well as advertisements for our own goods and services, we may also
facilitate third parties to optimise their advertising of their own goods and
services by helping them to target those ads to those that might be most
interested in them. These advertisements may be shown within our services
or within websites and other media which are published by others and
optimised by us or using our information. This is done using anonymised
information and we won’t hand over or sell any of your personal information
to third party advertisers.

■ We will also use information about your particular device in order to show you
adverts which work properly on that device, or to measure the effectiveness
of our ad campaigns and we may also retain information about how many
times you have seen a particular advertisement so we can stop you from
seeing it too many times.

5.2 Advertising partners

■ When we advertise our media published by other companies, we may use
various third party advertising partners, including ad exchanges, ad networks
and ad servers.

■ Our advertising partners help us to serve advertisements to you. Some of this
technology also helps us to make decisions as to whether or not to show a
particular advert to you – for example, by informing us that you have shown
an interest in similar goods or services previously.

■ Our advertising partners may collect information about you when you use our
services or the services of others. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the
collection of your information by our advertising partners, and we therefore
recommend that you review their privacy policies for more information. You
can find out more in “How to adjust your preferences” below.
5.3 How do ad identifiers, cookies and similar technologies work?

■ Advertisers on mobile devices sometimes use advertising (or ad) identifiers
to enable and optimise their advertising. Ad identifiers are non-permanent,
non-personal device identifiers such as the Android advertising ID and/or
Apple’s ID for advertising, or IDFA. See below for you can reset these
identifiers or indicate your preference that they should not be used for
advertising purposes.

■ We and third parties who advertise on our Services may use cookies or
similar technologies such as tracking pixels in their advertising. These
technologies operate either by: (i) placing a small file which stores some
information on your computer or mobile device; and/or (ii) by accessing
information on your device. These technologies allow the collection of data,
such as your device’s model, operating system and screen size, the other
applications installed on your device, and information about how you use our
services.

5.4 How to adjust your preferences

■ You can choose to prevent your device’s ad identifier being used for interest
based advertising, or you can reset your device’s ad identifier, by changing
the settings of your device. Settings vary from device to device but you will
usually find the ad identifier settings under “privacy” or “ads” in your device’s
settings.

■ You can disable cookies through your web or phone browser settings.

■ If you live in the USA, Europe or Canada, you can also opt-out from the
collection of your information by some or all of our advertising partners who
participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance by visiting
http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (for US
users),http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for European users) or
http://youradchoices.ca/choices (for Canadian users). You can also click on
the AdChoices logo within an advertisement (where available).

5.5 Although we and our advertising partners use ad identifiers, cookies and similar
technologies to enable us and third parties to provide more relevant advertising to you, these
technologies also:

■ allow us to recognise you and your device;

■ allow our Services to interact with a third party social network or platform
(where you have chosen to allow such interaction);

■ allow our payment processors to process your payment instructions; and

■ enable us and third parties to provide you with more customized services, for
example to provide our services in the correct language.

■ As a result, if you choose to adjust your preferences in order to prevent these
technologies, you may find that you cannot enjoy the full use of our services.

■ Please note that adjusting your preferences as described in this section does
not mean you will no longer receive adverts, it only means the adverts you do
see will be less relevant to your interests.

■ Alternatively, if you do not wish us to collect data as described in this section,
you should stop using our services.
