  • your consent.

The use of data we collect and store is to provide you with the Services you request from us and to improve your in-game experience, but there are other uses as well. The uses for which we collect and store your data include:

  • to improve and optimize our games and your experiences in our games

We will also make clear whether providing data is mandatory.

Similarly, if we collect and use your data in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), it will be made clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are (such as personalizing our services and direct marketing, improving and optimizing our games and your experiences in our games, communicating with you, providing support and respond to player requests, protecting the safety, protecting our rights and property in connection with our games, preventing fraud or potentially illegal activities and enforcing our Terms of Use, administering promotional activities or events sponsored, resolving any disputes we may have with you or other players, enforcing our agreements with third parties, for example).

You can also reset the “Advertising Identifier” (such as an IDFA) from your mobile device’s settings, which will prevent continued use of existing behavioral data tied to your previous “Advertising Identifier.” Further, depending on the platform provider (such as Apple or Google), you may be able to download apps that offer to provide you with control regarding the collection and use of cross-app data for tailored advertising.

All of the opt-in or opt-out tools described in this subsection are provided by third parties, not by us. Huuuge does not control or operate these tools or the choices that advertisers and others provide through these tools.

Please note that you may still receive third-party advertisements in our games after using these tools, but the advertising you see would not be customized to your interests or needs.

PRIVACY POLICIES OF LINKED THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We are not responsible for the ways in which third parties use your data (other than our partners acting under our guidance). Our websites and games may contain advertisements from third-party services that may link to their own websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these parties. If you have any questions about how these entities use your data, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

CHILDREN'S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION RULE

We do our best to ensure that we do not collect information from or about children. Generally, our games are not intended for children under the age of 16 (collectively, “Children”). Children are not permitted to use our games, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from Children.

Though our Services do not target Children, we may collect age information before allowing a player to proceed for certain games. For players who identify themselves as Children in our age-gate on such games, if we allow Children to use the games, we will either provide a version of that games that does not collect, use, or disclose “personal data” (as defined in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”)), except as permitted by COPPA or obtain legally valid legal guardian consent.

If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personal data that is not subject to a COPPA exception from a Child, we will take reasonable measures to promptly remove that information from our records.

TRANSFER OF DATA

When you use our games, your personal data may be sent outside of the European Countries, for example, to the United States, Israel and Hong Kong and possibly other countries. When we transfer, store, and use personal data collected in the European Countries outside of the European Countries, we comply with our legal obligations and ensure that your personal data is subject to suitable safeguards (such as encrypting communication) or transferred to “approved” territories.

As a global company, we may transfer your personal data to our “Affiliated Entities,” located in European Countries and outside like United States, Israel and Hong Kong which are any other corporate entities under common ownership with Huuuge, or to our business partners and service providers from time to time for our legitimate business purposes. For example, Huuuge provides certain services to its Affiliates.

We store personal data about players and visitors to our sites on servers located in the United States, and we may also store this information on servers and equipment in other countries. Personal information collected in the European Countries may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the European Countries. The data we hold may also be processed by employees operating outside of the European Countries who work for us, one of our Affiliated Entities, or one of our business partners or service providers. This staff may be engaged in, among other things, marketing communication with players and product development. When we transfer your personal data internationally we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely, lawfully, and in the manner we describe here. Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so the privacy laws applicable to the places where your data is transferred to or stored, used, or processed in, may be different from the privacy laws applicable to the place where you are resident.

If we share your data with entities which are located outside of the European Union or European Economic Area (EEA)  we make sure that these entities ensure an adequate level of protection and the transfer is supported by appropriate safeguards, e.g. the adequacy decisions of the European Commission or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to a country outside the EEA. These standard contractual clauses are available here. We treat exceptionally and pay attention to an assessment of  permissibility of personal data transfers to the USA in order to eliminate all related risks.

You can direct any questions, concerns or complaints regarding Huuuge’s handling of personal data or compliance with safeguards of the transfer outside the European Countries to Huuuge at:

Either way will be fine with us. If you decide to share, we will use them based on our legitimate interest: to deliver something exciting to you or reward you in some other way, facilitate communication. If not, you won’t receive the benefits, but you will still be able to change your mind in the future when you qualify for another reward. The choice is yours every time.

It may also happen that in the course of our closer communication you share with us some information that are treated as special categories of personal data such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or information concerning health – please however note, that we do not collect such data by ourselves and we will never ask for it.  

We will store your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the goal of letting you be part of the Rewards Program. The data might be shared with third parties providing intermediary services in the process, e.g. with a mailing company, event organizers.

  3. identifying and suggesting connections with other players and personalize our games for our players and enable players to communicate with each other

Pursuant to CCPA, Personal Information does not include publicly available information. For these purposes, “publicly available” means information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records, if any conditions associated with such information. “Publicly available” does not mean biometric information collected by a business about a consumer without the consumer’s knowledge. Information is not “publicly available” if that data is used for a purpose that is not compatible with the purpose for which the data is maintained and made available in the government records or for which it is publicly maintained. “Publicly available” does not include consumer information that is deidentified or aggregate consumer information.

Huuuge does not sell and has not sold Personal Information of California residents to third parties for a commercial purpose in the preceding twelve months, regardless of a player’s age.

We do not sell personal information of California players to third parties, regardless of the player’s age. We offer advertising in some of our games; if you want to opt out of personalized advertisements in our games, please do so within the game.

Your California Privacy Rights

In addition to any other rights under the law or elsewhere in the Privacy Policy, you have the right to the following: 

Right to Know

California residents have the right to request that we disclose certain information about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. 

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

  •  identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.

We can only provide you with this information if you send us a verified request, which we explain further below. 

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete your Personal Information that we have collected from you and that we have retained, subject to certain exceptions. 

Once we receive and confirm your verified request, we will delete (and request to our service providers the same) your Personal Information that we have collected and retained, unless an exception applies.

We can only delete your Personal Information if you send us a verified request, which we explain further below. 

Other Rights

You also have the right to designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf and the right not to be discriminated against if you exercise any of your rights with us under the CCPA. 

In order to be authorized to act on your behalf, your authorized agent will need to provide us with proof that they have written permission to act on your behalf. The request will also need to be a verified request.  

Making a Verified Request

In order to exercise your rights under the CCPA, we will need to get from you a verified request. There are two ways to send us a verified request

The first way is to send us the request through our games. This is the preferred method because then your PlayerID comes to us automatically. Please reference “CCPA” in your request. 

The second way is to send an email to [email protected]. When you send us the request, you will need to include your Player ID. Please reference “CCPA” in your request. 

Please make sure that you include sufficient information in your request as to what you want from us. For example, if you want us to delete your data, please tell us that. If you want to request a copy of your data, please tell us that.

We may need to verify your identity before processing any request; but we will try to limit the additional Personal Information that we collect in order to process your request. We reserve the right to decline a request to exercise rights under CCPA, particularly if we are unable to verify your identity. 

If you are using an authorized agent, the authorized agent will still need to submit a request as above along with proof of the authorization. 

You can make a request up to twice every twelve months. 

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 & Do Not Track Signals

A company that is subject to California Civil Code Section 1798.83 is required, if engaged in sharing data with third parties for direct marketing requests, upon request from a user, to disclose to its users the identity of any third parties to whom the business has disclosed personal information within the previous calendar year, along with the type of personal data disclosed. The company is required to respond to this request once per calendar year. Inasmuch as the above information is not already provided by us, our California-resident players should make any such request through the Contact Us link found in our games or by contacting the DPO using the contact information in this Privacy Policy. When you contact us, please make sure to reference “Shine the Light” in your request. 

A company subject to California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 is required to allow any California resident under age 18 who is a registered user of an online site, services or applications to request and obtain removal of content or information they have publicly posted. Your request should include a detailed description of the specific content or information to be removed. Please be aware that your request does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of content or information posted online and that the law may not permit or require removal in certain circumstances. Inasmuch as the above information is not already provided by us, our California-resident players should make any such request through the Contact Us link found in our games or by contacting the DPO using the contact information in this Privacy Policy. When you contact us, please make sure to reference “Shine the Light” in your request. 

Additional Important Information

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals (e.g., from mobile devices, web browsers). 

We may update our Privacy Policy, including or excluding this Section, from time to time with or without notice. When we make changes to the Privacy Policy, we will change the “Last Updated” date. All changes shall be effective from the date of publication unless otherwise provided in any notification of the changes. 

If you access our games or websites from a third-party application or connect our games or websites to a third-party application (e.g., if you link your account with us to your Facebook account), you should also read that third-party application’s terms of use and their privacy policy.

NEVADA PRIVACY NOTICE

We do not sell personal information of Nevada residents to third parties and our websites do not allow players to play the games directly (the games must be downloaded or played on Facebook); however, Chapter 603A of the Nevada Revised Statutes permits a Nevada resident to opt out of future sales of certain covered information that a website operator has collected or will collect about the resident and we provide Nevada residents the opportunity to opt out nonetheless. 

To submit such a request, please contact us by email to [email protected] and make sure you include the words “Nevada opt-out” in the subject of your message as well as your PlayerID.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We let you know about any material changes to our Privacy Policy. If we decide to make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will tell you and other players by placing a notice in-game or on our website at www.huuugegames.com or by sending you a notice to your e-mail address we have on file for you before the change becomes effective (and we will ask for your consent where required by law).
