to restrict customers from attempting to use our Services from a restricted territory or who are under-age and attempting to access inappropriate content in breach of our terms and conditions;

Use of data which is necessary for our legitimate interests

Sometimes, our use of your data is for purposes which are ancillary to the provision of the Services, which are desirable in order to make them operate more effectively or which are vital to the viability of particular Services. In those circumstances, we believe we have a legitimate interest in handling your data, and do not believe that this storage and use of your data will be of particular concern to you. We use your data for our legitimate interests in the following ways:

to detect and prevent fraud, hacking and/or cheating;
to keep our Services secure;
to customise the Services which are available to you;
to improve the Services, for analysis and reporting purposes (this also includes using data to log any crashes in our provision of the Services, so we may report such interruptions (in this regard, we may use a third party to assist us));
to track your use of our Services across our different games and platforms in order to provide you with a seamless experience;
to connect social media accounts which you have actively linked with our Services (such as Facebook or Google+);

We will also collect anonymised details about visitors to and use of our Services for the purposes of creating aggregate statistics or reporting purposes. However, no single individual will be identifiable from the anonymised details we collect for these purposes.

Does Onebutton Games send marketing communications and how can I opt out?

If you have provided your consent, we may send you marketing communications in relation to our other Services that we think may be of interest to you via email. These messages will only ever be in relation to the named other similar Services of Onebutton Games that you have provided your consent to receive.

Please also see the section below regarding third party advertising for more information about advertising activities on our Services involving third parties.

You can opt-out of receiving any direct marketing communications that we (or any third party to whom we have disclosed your personal information with your consent) may send you by using the unsubscribe mechanism in those marketing emails, or, in relation to push notifications, by choosing not to accept them or by turning them off by visiting the settings on your device and selecting the appropriate setting.

What does Onebutton Games do to protect data?

We have implemented appropriate physical, electronic and managerial security procedures to safeguard the data we process from loss, misuse, and alteration and to help prevent unauthorised access, maintain data security and to ensure that we correctly use the data we hold in accordance with the purposes for which we collected that data.

We use industry-standard practices such as encryption, physically secured rooms, firewalls and password protection systems to safeguard the confidentiality of any personal information that we might collect from you. For example, your email address and password will be encrypted which will make it very difficult for someone to discover and use them without our authorisation. We also strive to limit access to your data to employees performing a legitimate business function which requires them to access and use your data in order to supply you with our Services. We review our security procedures periodically to consider appropriate new technology and updated methods to ensure we continue to protect your data.

Whilst we will do our best to protect your data, the transmission of information by you to us over the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of data during its transfer over the Internet to us. Any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your data, we will use the procedures and security features outlined in this section to try to prevent any unauthorised access.

How long does Onebutton Games keep hold of data?

We will keep data only for as long as it is relevant and useful for the purpose for which it was originally collected and otherwise where required by law. This means that we will only retain your data for the minimum reasonable time period to allow us to provide our Services to you. If you decide to delete an account you have with us, certain data does stay on our Onebutton Games system for administrative purposes and to defend or bring any legal action. Please contact us via our support page for information regarding retention periods.

What data is shared with or accessed by third parties?

Onebutton Games will share your data with various third parties (including our affiliate companies in other countries) as follows:

We use third parties to help us manage your information and the Services, such as our cloud service provider, customer service and technical support provider, software and game developers, marketing delivery companies and IT maintenance providers. These are companies who are authorised to process data on our behalf only as necessary to provide the relevant services to us and cannot use it for their own independent purposes.
We share your data with our third party payment providers where you have specifically asked us to complete any in-app or in-game purchases. These third-party payment providers may also ask us to share your data with them to confirm the nature of any payment transaction and to verify your identity and payment details.
You may create a profile for certain Services which may be visible to other users. Other users can choose to add you as a friend. You can change your settings through the ‘edit profile’ function in our Services at any time.
We or our third-party partners may disclose your personal data where we are required or permitted to do so by law or to protect or enforce our rights or the rights of any third party. We may also share your data with third parties to prevent fraud, abusive or unlawful behaviour or to demonstrate our compliance with other terms or laws.
Onebutton Games may disclose your information to third parties in connection with a purchase, transfer or sale of Onebutton Games.
Onebutton Games is a member of a group of companies who may process your personal data, which includes Miniclip (UK) Limited (a company registered in England and Wales (registration number 06432709), whose registered office is at Legal Department, Holborn Gate, 326-330 High Holborn, London, United Kingdom, WC1V 7PP), Miniclip Portugal (a company registered in Portugal (registration number 509371388), whose registered office is at Taguspark, Edificio Ciencia II, Av. Prof. Dr. Aníbal Cavaco Silva, Nº 11 - 1C, 2740-120, Oeiras, Portugal) and Miniclip Italia (Testaluna) (a company registered in Italy (registration number MI1754241), whose registered office is at Via Melchiorre Gioia, 8, 20124, Milano (MI), Italy).
If you choose to access any Services through a third party platform such as Facebook or Google, then that third party may collect other information about you (including about your use of the Services) in accordance with its terms and own privacy policy and sometimes they share some data with us. They have their own privacy settings which you can access on that third party platform in order to change your preferences.

We require any third parties processing your data on our behalf to process it in accordance with your rights, our instructions and applicable law.

Third party advertising companies

We want to make sure that the advertising on our Services and marketing is relevant and interesting to you and our other customers. To achieve this, we use third-party advertising and technology companies to serve ads and/or provide aggregated data to assist in serving ads when you visit or use our Services. This includes third party technology companies which collect data about you in order to build a profile of your preferences based on your activities when you visit or use our Services. We also use these companies to automatically collect data from you when you use our Services in order to help us identify the ads that are served to you and what you do after seeing those ads. In addition, we share data with providers of web analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, which we use to analyse your use of the Services.

These third party advertising companies collect, store and use data by integrating cookies, tracking code and other software in our Services. The relevant data collected by these third parties will vary but may include your unique device ID, geo-location details, advertising ID, IP address, information on your interaction with advertising, browsing history and other technical information. Data which you provide to Onebutton Games when using our Services may also be captured by these third parties. On our apps, these third party advertising companies will collect and use your data to provide you with targeted advertising that is relevant to you and your preferences with your consent. You can control and withdraw your consent at any time by visiting the game settings page of our apps. If you do not provide or withdraw your consent to receive targeted advertising on our apps, or if we know you are under the age of 16, then we will still serve you advertising when you visit or use our Services but this will no longer be tailored to you or your preferences.

On our websites, we rely on our legitimate interests to allow third party advertising companies to collect and use your data to provide you with targeted advertising that is relevant to you and your preferences. Nonetheless, you can still control and disable such targeted advertising by visiting the settings page of our websites. If you disable targeted advertising on our websites, or if we know you are under the age of 16, then we will still serve you advertising when you visit or use our Services but this will no longer be tailored to you or your preferences.

In some cases the third parties advertising companies that we work with will also use the data that they collect for their own purposes, for example they may aggregate your data with other data they hold and use this to inform advertising related services provided to other clients.

Advertising our products on third party websites and mobile

We will also share your data with social media or other similar platforms, so that you and other people can see relevant content on that platform. For example, we may use the Facebook Custom Audiences service and share your Facebook ID or advertising ID in a protected format with Facebook so that we can: include you in a custom audience that we will serve relevant advertising content to on Facebook; or create an audience of other Facebook users based on the information in your Facebook profile. You can opt-out from Facebook Custom Audiences in your Facebook privacy settings.

We will also share your data with user acquistion partners, via our third party mobile measurement service provider, for the purpose of telling you via third party applications about our new products, promotions and features that maybe of interest to you. We will also work with these partners to monitor the success of such campaigns. You can object to such use in accordance with the “How do I erase or restrict or update my data?” below.

Will data be transferred overseas?

The data that we collect from you will be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the UK or the European Economic Area (“EEA”), including the US (where some of our third-party cloud-based servers are based). This transfer is required to host the Services, provide you with technical and customer support services, perform backups of your data, and to process your payment details if you make any in game purchases. Please be aware that countries which are outside the EEA may not offer the same level of data protection as the UK or countries within the EEA, although our collection, storage and use of your personal data will continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy. Transfers of data to Switzerland are guaranteed to be afforded the same level of data protection as in the EEA on the basis that Switzerland benefits from an adequacy finding from the European Commission. We will always ensure that any other such transfers of data are conducted in accordance with relevant laws in order to ensure adequate protection. Where we transfer data outside the EEA, other than to Switzerland, we have included in our contracts with the relevant third parties the standard contractual data protection clauses approved by the European Commission for transferring personal information outside the EEA (these are the clauses approved under Article 46.2 of the General Data Protection Regulation, which is the relevant data protection law). You can find out further information about the rules on data transfers outside the EEA, including the mechanisms that we rely upon, on the European Commission website here.

Children’s privacy

Most of our Services are not specifically targeted at children. Where the Services are being used by children under the age of 16, we recommend parents and guardians regularly clear their browser cache and/or browsing history to clear cookies. Please see our Cookies Policy for more information.

For some Services however it may be possible for those under the age of 16 to register an account and access games and other content (with parental or guardian consent). Where children under 16 sign up and use our Services, their account is limited to those aspects of the Services which we deem appropriate for children.

If you are under 16 and have signed up to use any of our Services, we will only collect and process the following limited data about you:

your date of birth and email address. We collect, use and store this data as it is necessary in order to allow you to log-in and use the Services you have registered for. We need to use your date of birth to make sure that users are not attempting to access Services which we deem inappropriate; and
data which is necessary to respond to a question or one-off request for customer service support from you. We believe we have a legitimate interest in handling your data for this purpose as it allows us to provide you with customer and technical support and a better experience of our Services and the benefits of this outweigh any potential impact on you in storing and using your personal information in this way.

If you are under the age of 16 and in the EEA, your email address is encrypted. This means that your email address will be put into a secret code, so no one can use it, including us.

As your email address is encrypted, we are not able to contact you by email after registration for any purpose, including to send service emails or promotional offers.

For parents/guardians

If you would like to review or amend your child’s information, ask to have it deleted, and/or refuse to allow any further collection or use of your child’s information, then please contact us via our support page. Please be sure to include your email address and a telephone number where we can reach you. To protect your child’s privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting you access to the information that we collect and maintain about your child.

How do I erase or restrict or update my data?

If you no longer wish for us to use your data, please get in touch. Please note that this may affect the provision of our Services to you, for example, you may not be able to enter any competitions or make any in game purchases.

You have the right to ask us to amend or update any of your data which is out of date or incorrect or change the way we may use your data.

You also have the right to ask us to delete any personal information which we are holding about you. You can also object to our processing of data about you, and we will consider any valid objections which you raise. In certain circumstances we may not be able to stop using your personal data but, if that is the case, we’ll let you know and tell you why.

If you wish to opt out of receiving any promotional emails or newsletters you can do so by clicking on the “unsubscribe here” link at the bottom of each email. To change or delete push notifications, visit the settings section on your device and select the appropriate setting, or change the settings on your browser if you are accessing any of our websites.

If you have an account with us, in certain games, you can view and edit your profile to change the settings in order to prevent others being able to add you as a friend.

If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please get in touch with us via our support page.

How do I get a copy of my data?

You have the right to ask us to provide you with copies of personal data that we hold about you at any time. Please contact us via our support page.

How can I contact Onebutton Games?

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to request a copy of the data which we hold about you, please contact us via our support page.

What can I do if I have a complaint?

If you are not satisfied with the way your query or complaint is handled by Onebutton Games, please let us know via our support page. If you are still unhappy, you may refer your complaint to your local data protection regulator. For example, in the United Kingdom this is the Information Commissioner’s Office.
