This App Privacy Policy describes:
If you do not want Blackport Games or Unity to collect, store, use or share your information in the ways described in this App Privacy Policy, do not play or use the App.
This App Privacy Policy does not apply to information:
Other Blackport Games apps, websites, products or services are governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before providing information on or through them.
Please read this App Privacy Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not download, register with, or use the App. By downloading, registering with, or using this App, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may change from time to time (see “Changes to the App Privacy Policy” below). Your continued use of this App after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
We collect information from and about users of the App: (i) directly from you when you provide it to us; and (ii) automatically when you use the App.
(a) Information you provide to us. We collect information you provide directly to us when you use and interact with the App. This information may include:
(b) Automatically collected information. We may also automatically collect certain information when you download, install, register with, access and/or otherwise use the App or view, click or otherwise engage in any advertisements in the App. This information may be collected through various tracking technologies described below. This information may include:
(c) Tracking technologies. We may use various technologies to automatically collect data in connection with the App, and these may include setting “cookies” on your mobile device, the use of “web beacons”, the use of “device IDs” and other technology. This information may include information about your device and the applications you use and related activity data (such as interactions with ads or other content, including views, links clicked, application installs and other conversion information and game play activity).
(d) Information we collect from other sources. We may also obtain information about or related to you or your device from other sources, such as advertisers, and combine that with information we collect. Note that we may also combine information we collect through the App and use it in connection with various services and products offered by us.
(e) Third-party information collection. When you use the App or its content, certain third parties may use automatic information collection technologies to collect information about you or your device. These third parties may include:
These third parties may use tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the App. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites, apps, and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider directly.
We use the information we collect and store to provide a better gaming experience, but there are other uses as well. These uses may include:
We may share and disclose aggregated information about our users (i.e., information that does not identify any particular individual or device), for any lawful purpose, without restriction.
In addition, we may share and disclose other information about you or your device as follows:
Your information and activities in connection with the App may also be accessed, monitored, and disclosed:
Advertising helps to defray certain costs of providing the App, especially costs that are incurred by us but not recovered from users. Thus, you may not have a choice to prevent advertisements from being presented when using the App; however, you do have the choices to limit personalized advertisements that are tailored to your interests from us.
If we deliver personalized advertising in the App, we will provide notice and information about how you may be able to opt-out of such personalized advertisements. Such opportunity to opt-out may occur through your device settings (See “Information and Choices Regarding Tracking and Targeting on Mobile Devices” below).
We may also use other third party advertising networks to serve ads in the App. If you do not wish to receive personalized advertising that is delivered by third parties, you may be able to exercise that choice through opt-out programs that are administered by third parties, including the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), and/or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). Where applicable, you may exercise your opt-out choices at the NAI website, the DAA website, or the EDAA website. We do not control these third-party provided opt-out processes and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.
As of the effective date of this policy, Apple and Google offered the owners of devices that use their operating systems, iOS and Android, options for limiting tracking and targeting in relation to ads. We do not control your device level opt-out processes and are not responsible for any choices you make through such mechanism or for the continued availability, accuracy, effectiveness, or location of that mechanism. Using a device level opt-out mechanism may opt you out of all third party personalized advertisements, not just those delivered by us.
If you use an Apple device, go here.
If you use an Android device, navigate to the Google Settings page and select Ads. Then choose to reset your Android Ad ID or opt-out of personalized ads.

(a) Sharing with third parties for direct marketing purposes. California residents have the right to request the identity of any third parties to whom the resident’s personal information was shared, if such sharing was to enable third party’s direct marketing efforts. If you are a California resident and wish to make such a request, or to opt-out of having your personal information shared with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, please email us at privacy@blackportgames.com.
(b) How we respond to “Do Not Track” signals. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about information collected in connection with the App for third-party purposes, and that is why we provide information in this App Privacy Policy about how to prevent the delivery of targeted ads. We do not, however, recognize or respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working on Do Not Track standards, implementations, and solutions. To learn more about Do Not Track signals, you can visit AllAboutDNT.com.
The App is not intended for children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 are authorized to use the App. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that information from our records.
Your information may be sent to the United States and possibly other countries.
We store data about users on servers located in the United States and the European Economic Area (“EEA”), and we may also store this information on servers and equipment in other countries. Personal data collected within Switzerland and the EEA may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of Switzerland and the EEA. The data we hold may also be processed by employees operating outside of Switzerland and the EEA who work for us or one of our affiliates or for one of our vendors. When we transfer your personal information internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely, lawfully, and in the manner we describe here. Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and so the privacy laws applicable to the places where your information is transferred to or stored, used, or processed in, may be different from the privacy laws applicable to where you are resident.
Your use of the App may involve the transfer, storage, and processing of your information to and in various countries around the world where our servers are located, and our databases are operated, that may have different levels of privacy protection than your country. By using the App, you consent to your information being transferred to our facilities and to the facilities of those third parties with whom we share it as described in our App Privacy Policy.
How long we retain your information depends on why we collected it and how we use it. We will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements. For instance, we may retain some information for a few years after you have closed your account with us if this is necessary to meet our legal obligations or to exercise, defend, or establish legal rights.
We implement security measures to help protect the security of your information, both online and offline. We take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These measures vary based upon the sensitivity of your information.
While we take precautions against possible security breaches of customer databases and records, no application, website, computer system or Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information while it is being transmitted to our Service. Any transmission is at your own risk.
If we decide to make material changes to the App Privacy Policy, we will tell you and other App users by placing a notice on www.blackportgames.com, the App webpage, or its equivalent in game, or by sending you a notice to the email address we have on file for you prior to the change becoming effective. We may supplement this process by placing notices on game blogs, social network pages, and/or forums and on any of our other websites. You should periodically check www.blackportgames.com and this privacy page for updates.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding the App Privacy Policy and/or practices, please send an email to privacy@blackportgames.com. All other inquiries should be directed to support@blackportgames.com.
