This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how 1024MINING INC. ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information obtained through our casual gaming platform, including our website ("Website"), mobile applications ("Apps"), and related services ("Services"). By using the Services, you consent to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Services.
We collect information from and about you to operate, improve, and personalize the Services, communicate with you, and deliver targeted content. The types of information we collect include:
1.1 Info You Share With Us (Voluntarily)
We collect personal information that can identify you directly or indirectly when you provide it to us voluntarily, such as:
• Account Information: When you create a user account ("Account"), we collect your name, date of birth (to verify age eligibility), email address, and username. For payment processing, we may collect billing information such as your payment method details.
• Contact Information: If you contact our customer support, we may collect your message content, email address, and any other information you provide to assist with your inquiry.
• Profile Information: You may choose to provide additional information for your user profile, such as a profile photo, gaming preferences, or social media links.
1.2 Behind-the-Scenes: What Your Device Tells Us
When you access the Services, we automatically collect information about your device and browsing environment, including:
• Device Identifiers: We collect unique device identifiers such as IMEI, MAC address, and Advertising IDs (e.g., IDFA or AAID).
• Why We Collect These Identifiers (Justification):
• Security & Anti-Fraud: To prevent multi-account cheating, bot activity, and unauthorized access.
• Performance Analytics: To understand how our Services perform across different device types and optimize user experience.
• Personalization: To deliver game content and in-app offers that are relevant to your device's capabilities and your preferences.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with anti-fraud and anti-money laundering obligations where applicable.
• Retention Period: These identifiers are retained for no longer than 12 months after your last interaction with the Services, unless a longer period is explicitly required by law (e.g., ongoing legal investigation). After that, they are deleted or irreversibly anonymized.
• Opt-Out Options (Clearer Choices):
• You may limit collection of Advertising IDs by enabling "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android.
• To opt out of collection of IMEI, MAC address, and other identifiers for non-essential purposes, you may:
Use our in-app privacy settings (available under "Settings" → "Privacy" → "Device Data Controls") to disable non-essential identifier collection.
Contact us at [email protected] to exercise your CCPA/CPRA opt-out rights or request deletion of specific identifiers.
• Note: Opting out of essential identifiers may limit certain security or anti-fraud features, but you will still be able to play most games.
1.3 Info We Get from Trusted Partners
We may receive information about you from trusted partners, such as:
• Social Media Platforms: If you log in using a social media account (e.g., Facebook, Google), we may access your public profile information and email address as permitted by your social media settings.
• Analytics Providers: Third-party services that help us measure traffic and user behavior on the Services may share aggregated or de-identified data with us.
1.4 How Your Data Powers a Better Experience
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
• Providing and Maintaining the Services: To create and manage your Account, process payments, deliver game content, and ensure the proper functioning of features like leaderboards, in-game chat, and in-game item stores.
• Improving User Experience: Analyzing usage data to identify popular features, optimize game design, and troubleshoot technical issues.
• Personalization: Tailoring content and recommendations to your preferences, such as suggesting games similar to those you have played, displaying personalized ads, and customizing in-game experiences based on your activity.
• Communication: Sending you account-related notifications (e.g., password reset links, transaction confirmations), service updates, and promotional messages about new games, features, or offers (you may opt out of promotional emails in your account settings).
• Security and Compliance: Verifying your identity, detecting and preventing fraud or unauthorized access, and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards.
We may share your information with third parties in the following circumstances:
2.1 Trusted Partners Who Help Us Serve You
We engage trusted third-party service providers to assist us in operating the Services, such as payment processors, cloud storage providers, and customer support platforms. These providers have access to your information only to perform tasks on our behalf and are contractually obligated to protect it.
2.2 Advertising and Analytics Partners
To deliver and measure the effectiveness of ads, we may share certain data (such as device identifiers and usage patterns) with third-party partners.
• Strict Prohibition for Minors: We do not serve targeted (behavioral) advertisements to any users known to be between the ages of 13 and 17. Our systems are designed to automatically identify these users based on their provided date of birth and exclude them from all behavioral profiling and retargeting campaigns.
• Contextual Advertising: For users in this age group, we only deliver contextual advertisements, which are selected based on the nature of the game being played rather than the user's individual browsing history or personal interests.
2.3 When the Law Requires Us to Share
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, or legal process (e.g., responding to court orders, subpoenas, or government requests), or to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users or the public.
2.4 What Happens If We're Acquired or Merge
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice on the Website if such a transfer occurs and your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
2.5 Consent
We will obtain your explicit consent before sharing your personal information for any purpose not described in this Policy, except where required by law.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
3.1 Data Storage
We store your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, or comply with legal obligations. Default retention period is 12 months after your last interaction (except as otherwise noted in section 1.2 for device identifiers). Longer retention (up to 5 years) may apply only where required by law (e.g., financial transaction records) or with your explicit consent. You may request earlier deletion by contacting us.
3.2 Security Measures
• Access Controls: Only authorized employees and partners have access to your information, and they are required to maintain confidentiality.
• Encryption: Sensitive data, such as payment information and login credentials, is encrypted during transmission using secure protocols like SSL/TLS and stored in encrypted databases.
• Security Audits: We regularly review and test our security systems to identify and address vulnerabilities.
• Data Minimization: We collect only the information necessary for the stated purposes and delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.
Despite our efforts, no security system is entirely foolproof. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information, but we strive to respond promptly to any reported security incidents.
