Privacy Policy

Introduction:
Calum Walker, the sole creator of the mobile game "Drifty Carz", presents it as a Freemium app. This SERVICE, provided without any charge, is designed for user enjoyment and engagement.

The objective of this page is to transparently communicate to visitors and users about the policies governing the collection, usage, and sharing of Personal Information within the app.

Your decision to use this Service indicates your acceptance of the terms laid out in this Privacy Policy. While I do not directly gather personal data, the Service is designed in such a way that it uses the information for its improvement and functionality. This policy ensures that any information used will not be shared outside the bounds described herein.

Information Collection and Use:

Although Drifty Carz may enhance the user experience by potentially requiring some personal data through third parties. This is described below.

 Data collected automatically;

The basis for collecting data is “legitimate interest” under GDPR (Global Data Protection Regulation) and “to support internal operations of the game” under COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). Any data collected is done solely for internal uses that are reasonably and directly related to your relationship with US, in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

       Data collected automatically

Certain data is collected automatically. This includes:

  • Data about your game progress;

  • Data about your device, such as device name and operating system, browser type and language;

  • Data about your use of the Service, such as gameplay data and your interactions with other players inside the Service; and

  • Your IP addresses, and mobile device identifiers (such as your device ID, advertising ID, MAC address, IMEI). Please note, there are ways to prevent this, which are outlined at ‘Third Party Service Providers’ below.

However, the app does incorporate third-party services which might gather information that can identify you. Notably among them are:

Advertisements from third party ad networks may be displayed in Our Games from time to time. All reasonable endeavours are used to ensure that these ad networks comply with all applicable legislation in the provision of their services towards us. If you click on any advertisements through Our Game, the advertisers may use cookies and other web-tracking technologies to collect data, to provide targeted advertisements to you. Some of this may be personal information, and some of it non-personal information. We recommend that you review the terms of use and privacy policy for any advertiser with whom you are interacting before doing so.

opting out of Targeted Advertising

You can opt-out of interest-based advertising on mobile applications by checking the privacy settings of your Android or iOS device and selecting "Limit Ad Tracking" (Apple iOS) or "opt-out of interest-based ads" (Android). This will also prevent mobile device identifiers from being collected

Log Data:
In the unfortunate event that Drifty Carz encounters an error, data from your device (via third-party products) known as Log Data is recorded. Log Data may encompass details such as your device's IP address, device name, operating system version, app settings at the time of the error, usage time and date, and other relevant statistics.

Cookies:
Cookies are small data packets often used by websites to remember certain user information. While Drifty Carz doesn't directly employ cookies, third-party codes and libraries integrated within might. These third-party entities use cookies to better their services. You hold the choice to accept or reject these cookies. Denying cookies might limit certain functionalities of the Service.

Service Providers:
Third-party entities may be engaged for several reasons, including:

  • Facilitating the primary Service;

  • Representing the Service;

  • Offering Service-associated functions; or

  • Assisting in understanding user engagement with the Service.

Users should be aware that such third parties might access their Personal Information, strictly to execute their designated tasks. They are, however, contractually bound to maintain confidentiality and not to use the data for any other reasons.

Security:
Your trust is paramount. While every effort is made to protect your Personal Information using industry-standard methods, it's crucial to understand that no online transmission or electronic storage method is entirely foolproof.

Links to Other Sites:
Drifty Carz may have links leading to external sites. Engaging with these links will take users to these external platforms, which are not under my purview. It's strongly recommended that users peruse the privacy policies of such external platforms, as I do not govern or influence their content or security measures.

Children’s Privacy:
Drifty Carz is not designed for users below the age of 13. I am committed to not knowingly accumulating personal data from this age group. Any inadvertent data collection from a user under 13 will be promptly removed from our servers. Parents or guardians aware of any such data submission are urged to get in touch with me.

Updates to This Privacy Policy:
The Privacy Policy may undergo periodic revisions. Regularly revisiting this page will ensure you are abreast of any modifications. All significant policy changes will be announced here.
