Privacy Policy

We collect personally identifiable information that you provide directly to us — for example, when you create an account, set up or update your profile, make a purchase, respond to surveys, or contact us. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Information"). Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, your full name, email address, username, and date of birth or age, together with any other information that could be used to personally identify you.

We also collect other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your account with us, such as your survey answers and individual preferences. Information that is connected to your account, including your age, username, survey answers, and preferences, is treated as Personal Information. Information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it can no longer reasonably be linked to you is "Non-Identifying Information."

We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non- Identifying Information) mainly to provide the Application, facilitate and complete transactions for you, and respond to correspondence from you. We may also use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your account information.

We may also combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other users to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of the Application, and to analyze and understand how the Application is used.

When you visit the Application our servers automatically record information that your device sends whenever you use an Application. The information sent automatically by your device is referred to as "Usage Data." This Usage Data may include information such as the manufacturer and model of your device; your Internet Service Provider (ISP); your device's Internet Protocol ("IP") address (or other device identifier), device type, and operating system; referring/exit pages; clickstream data; Application access times and dates, pages of the Application that you visit, the time spent on those pages, and information you search for on the Application; and other statistics. We may also use your IP address to estimate your general location, such as your country and region or city. We do not collect your precise location.

We use this information for technical administration of the Application, including to monitor and analyze use of the Application, to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of the Application, and to better tailor the Application to End Users' needs.

Usage Data may be non-identifying or it may be associated with you. Whenever we associate Usage Data with Personal Information, we will treat it as Personal Information.

We collect the content you create in the Application, such as chat messages, posts, comments, reviews, looking-for-group listings, community (Playground) content, and any reports you submit about other End Users or their content.

If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name, your email address, and whether that email address has been verified. If you link a gaming account, such as Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, or Discord, we receive information from that service about your gaming activity, including the games in your library, your playtime, your achievements, and basic profile information. You can disconnect a linked account at any time in the Application.

We use your activity in the Application, the games in your linked accounts, and basic device information to make inferences about you, such as your playstyle (for example, whether you usually play late at night), your likely language, and a broad age range. We use these inferences to recommend players, content, and communities to you and to select the advertising and offers we show you. You can turn off personalized recommendations and personalized advertising at any time, as described in the "Advertising, Analytics & Tracking Technologies" section below. Where the law requires it, you may also object to this processing.

Player 2, Inc may use a number of different techniques and technologies to collect Personal Information, Non-Identifying Information, and Usage Data. For example, Player 2, Inc may use cookies, log files, clear gifs, pixel tags, embedded scripts, software development kits (SDKs), and/or other technology used to monitor your use of the Application.

We request certain information from you through the use of forms when you send us correspondence through the Application.

As is regular practice on many Applications, the Application uses cookies and other technologies to help us understand which parts of the Application are more popular and how much time users spend there. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to and stored on your device from our server. Cookies may, for example, allow a user to enter a password less frequently or remember a user's preferences during an online session.

The Application uses cookies to determine whether an End User is active and for other business purposes. The Application may include first-party cookies (i.e., cookies that send data directly to Player 2, Inc and agents and contractors acting on behalf of Player 2, Inc, including cookies used to monitor, analyze, and administer the Application). Since cookies are now used as industry standard, most devices automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your device's settings to decline them. If you prefer not to enable cookies, you may choose to disable them; however, please note that certain features on the Application will not be available to you once cookies are disabled.

Usage Data are collected automatically by the Application's servers and software. For example, because the Application automatically collects Usage Data for all End Users that visit the Application, your Application session will be tracked. You agree that we may collect and use technical data and related information, including technical information about your device, system and application software, and peripherals, to maintain and support the Application generally.

Additionally, in some of our email messages, Player 2, Inc may use a "click- through URL" linked to content on the Application. When an End User clicks onto one of these URLs, the End User will pass through our server before arriving at the destination Web page. Player 2, Inc tracks this click-through data to help us determine End User interest in certain subject matter and measure the effectiveness of these End User communications. You can avoid being tracked in this way by not clicking text or graphic links in emails from Player 2, Inc.

Finally, we may use clear gifs or pixel tags, which are tiny graphic images, in order: (i) to advise us of what parts of the Application End Users have visited, (ii) to measure the effectiveness of any searches End Users perform, and (iii) to enable us to send emails in a format that End Users can read and tell us whether such emails have been opened in order to ensure us that we are sending messages that are of interest to End Users.

Your device or browser may let you send "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no industry-accepted standard for how to interpret DNT signals, the Application does not respond to them differently from the opt-out controls described below. We do, however, honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where required by applicable law, as further described in the "Your Privacy Rights" section below. You can also control interest-based advertising through the choices described in the "Advertising, Analytics & Tracking Technologies" section below.

Please note that if you use any bulletin board, chat room, comment posting feature, or other public communication service, forum, or feature offered through the Application, or post any information available for viewing by other End Users, any of the information that you share will be visible to other End Users. The information that you make available can be read, used, and collected by other End Users to send you unsolicited messages outside of the Application. Player 2, Inc is not responsible for the manner in which the Personal Information that you decide to share will be used by other End Users.

The End User information that Player 2, Inc collects may be added to our databases and used for business purposes, including for marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of End Users' behavior, for product development, for content improvement, or to customize the content and layout of the Application. In addition, Player 2, Inc will, on occasion, send emails to you about the Application or third-party products. If you do not want to receive email from us, visit the "Opt Out" or "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any Player 2, Inc email to remove yourself from continued receipt of such email messages.

Player 2, Inc's policy is not to share the End User information it collects with third parties other than as specified below, or where an End User expressly consents to our sharing of certain information with a third party. We may share End User information with third parties under the following circumstances:

We may employ third party companies and individuals for any of the following: to facilitate the Application; to provide the Application or portions of the Application on our behalf; to perform related services, including without limitation, maintenance services, database management, fulfillment, web analytics, advertising, payment and subscription processing, and improvement of the features or functionality; or to assist us in analyzing how the Application is being used. The advertising, analytics, attribution, and diagnostic providers we work with are described in the "Advertising, Analytics & Tracking Technologies" and "Third-Party Services & Data Recipients" sections below.

From time to time, we may offer promotions through the Application that require a separate registration. By participating in such a promotion, you agree to the official rules for the promotion, which may require that you provide certain information. Information collected in connection with a promotion will be used consistently with the promotion's official rules and this Privacy Policy.

As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, sell, or share assets in connection with, for example, a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy. In such transactions, information about End Users generally is often a transferred business asset. In the event that Player 2, Inc itself or substantially all of Player 2, Inc's assets are acquired, information about our End Users may be one of the transferred assets.

We may release End User information when we believe, in our sole discretion, that release is appropriate: to comply with the law, including but not limited to, in response to a subpoena served on Player 2, Inc; to enforce or apply the Agreement, including the Application Terms of Use and other applicable agreements, rules, and policies; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Player 2, Inc, our End Users, or others; or to prevent activity that we believe, in our sole discretion, may be or may become illegal, unethical, or legally actionable (including exchanging End User information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection).

We may release aggregate End User information (without revealing any Personal Information about you) to advertisers and other third parties in order to promote or describe use of the Application.

If you turn on Partner Data Sharing in the Application, Player 2, Inc may share certain activity data with approved partners for their own business purposes, which may include analytics, research, product development, and advertising, as limited by our agreements with them. Shared data is pseudonymous: it is linked to a device or account identifier rather than to your name or email address, and each partner receives only the fields its agreement with us allows. With your permission, we may also help an approved partner recognize you as the same person across its own services by matching pseudonymous identifiers. Partner Data Sharing is off unless you turn it on, and you can turn it off at any time in the Application or at player2app.com/privacy-controls. When you turn it off, we stop sharing new data and ask each partner that received your data to delete it.

The Application is supported in part by advertising and uses third-party services to display ads, measure performance, analyze usage, and diagnose errors. These providers may collect or receive information through your device — including device and advertising identifiers (such as the Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS and the Google Advertising ID on Android), IP address, general location inferred from IP address, and app-interaction data — and may use that information to provide, personalize, and measure advertising and analytics. Player 2, Inc does not control, and is not responsible for, the independent data practices of these third-party providers. We encourage you to review their privacy policies, which are linked in the "Third-Party Services & Data Recipients" section below.

Advertising in the Application is served through Google AdMob and its mediation partners, which may include (and may change from time to time) ironSource, Meta Audience Network, and Liftoff/Vungle. Depending on your consent choices and device settings, the ads you see may be "personalized" (selected based on information about your interests) or "non-personalized" (selected based on contextual information such as the content you are viewing). Ads may appear either way.

Where required in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we present a consent prompt (through Google's User Messaging Platform) before serving personalized ads, and you can review or change your choice at any time in the Application under Settings → Privacy & Ads.

On iOS, we request permission to track through Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework; you can change this at any time in your device's Settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking.

On Android, you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalization, in your device settings under Settings → Privacy → Ads. Opting out does not stop ads from appearing; it limits the use of your information to personalize them.

You can manage personalized advertising, personalized recommendations, crash and error reporting, and Partner Data Sharing at any time in the Application under Settings → Privacy & Ads or at player2app.com/privacy-controls.

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how the Application is used, and we use Bugsnag and Google Firebase Crashlytics to detect, diagnose, and fix crashes and errors. This information helps us maintain, secure, and improve the Application.

We use Branch to measure the effectiveness of links and app installs — for example, to understand which referral, campaign, or shared link led you to the Application — and to route deep links to the correct screen.

This Privacy Policy also covers our website, player2app.com. The website may display ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our website and/or other sites on the Internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at www.google.com/settings/ads. You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or, in the European Union, www.youronlinechoices.eu. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before cookies are used to personalize ads on the website, and you can change that choice at any time at player2app.com/privacy-controls.

The website also uses Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use it. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We work with the third-party service providers identified below. Each provider processes information under its own privacy policy, and Player 2, Inc is not responsible for those providers' independent practices. We encourage you to review their policies. This list describes the providers we use as of the date of this Privacy Policy and may change as we add, remove, or replace providers.

By accessing and using the Application, you acknowledge and agree that Player 2, Inc controls and operates the Application from its offices in the United States of America. Unless expressly stated to the contrary, Player 2, Inc makes no representation that the Application is appropriate or available for use in other locations.

If you access the Application from outside the United States, you acknowledge and agree that your information may be transferred to, stored at, and processed on computers and servers located in the United States or other jurisdictions where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. Contact us if you would like more information about these safeguards.

You may review, update, or correct the Personal Information in your account at any time through the Application's account settings, or by contacting us. You may request deletion of your account and associated Personal Information at any time from within the Application's account settings, or by submitting a request at https://player2app.com/request-deletion. If you delete your account, it may be deactivated.

After you request deletion, we will delete or de-identify your Personal Information, except where we are permitted or required to retain it — for example, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, enforce our agreements, or for other legitimate business purposes. Residual copies may remain in our backups for a limited period before they are overwritten in the ordinary course. Content that you shared publicly or with other End Users may continue to exist (for example, where others have copied, stored, or re-shared it).

We keep your Personal Information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Application to you. After that, we keep it only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, preventing fraud and abuse, and enforcing our agreements. How long we keep each category of information depends on these purposes and on the retention periods that apply by law.

We employ administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. For example, we use commercially reasonable security measures such as encryption, including encryption in transit (TLS), and firewalls to protect End User information.

Please note that no security system is impenetrable. Accordingly, we do not guarantee the security of our databases, nor that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet or other network. Any information you transmit to Player 2, Inc, you do at your own risk. We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored "personal data" (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting through the Application in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your Personal Information. We honor these rights to the extent required by applicable law. To make a request, contact us at dev@player2app.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request where the law permits. If we decline to act on your request, you may appeal by replying to our response or by emailing us with the subject line "Privacy Request Appeal." We will respond to your appeal within the time required by applicable law, and if we deny it, you may contact the attorney general of your state.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, our legal bases for processing your Personal Information may include your consent (which you may withdraw at any time), the performance of our contract with you, our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Application, and compliance with our legal obligations. Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our processing of your Personal Information; to data portability; and to withdraw consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Where we rely on your consent to serve personalized advertising, you may manage or withdraw that consent as described in the "Advertising, Analytics & Tracking Technologies" section above.

If you are a California resident, then, subject to certain exceptions and to the extent provided by the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended), you may have the right to know the categories and specific pieces of Personal Information we collect, to access and delete your Personal Information, to correct inaccurate Personal Information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of Personal Information. We do not sell your Personal Information for money. However, our use of third-party advertising and analytics identifiers, as described above, may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under California law. You may opt out of such sharing by adjusting your advertising choices under Settings → Privacy & Ads or at player2app.com/privacy-controls, by adjusting your device settings, and — where you use a browser that supports it — through the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we treat as a valid opt-out request to the extent required by law. Partner Data Sharing is off unless you turn it on, and you can turn it off in the same places. We do not knowingly sell or share the Personal Information of consumers under 16 years of age without their affirmative authorization. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

Player 2 is a general-audience social networking Application and is not directed to, or intended for use by, children. It is not offered as a child-directed service in the app stores. You must be at least thirteen (13) years of age — and at least the minimum age required to consent to the processing of personal data in your country, which may be higher — to create an account or use the Application.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of thirteen (13) or below the applicable minimum age. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from such a child without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information and terminate the associated account. If you believe a child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us at dev@player2app.com.

Where we identify that a user is below the age required for personalized advertising in their jurisdiction, we limit the advertising shown to that user to non-personalized advertising.
