This privacy policy (hereafter referred to as the “Privacy Policy”) is applicable to our Games and to all games and other activities that are offered by us on or through our Games. (Our Games, all the web pages that are part of the Games, and such games and activities are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Games.”) WaGame Co., Ltd., having its registered office at 8F.-1, No.105, Xicheng Rd., Banqiao Dist., New Taipei City 22072, Taiwan (R.O.C.) (hereafter referred to as “WaGame”), is the responsible party as referred to in the Personal Information Protection Act . WaGame may use affiliates’ or reputable third parties’ services for the processing of personal data collected on or through the Games. By using or accessing our Games, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. About Our Games
1.1 Our Games offer a diverse, current, and exciting mix of cell phone games created by WaGame, as well as games created by independent developers and WaGame partners. Players can access our Games to play games without registering; however, they may choose to register to create a public or semi-public profile and to save games, high scores, and comments on this profile. Also, visitors to the Games will be able to rate games and browse for the newly added, top-rated, and most-popular games.
2. The Information We Collect
The information that our Games collect includes (among others) the following:
a) IP address, Cookies, and Web Beacons
2.1 When you visit our Games, our servers automatically save your cell phone’s IP address. IP addresses will be collected, along with information about the actual web pages that you visit on the Games. If you arrive at the Games via a link from another website, the URL of the linking website and the URL of any website that you link to next will also be collected.
2.2 In addition, we store certain information from your browser, using “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s cell phone and is tied to information about the user. WaGame may use cookies, web beacons (web bugs), or similar technologies to enhance and personalize your experience on the Games, including the following:
(a) to operate and improve offerings on the Games;
(b) to help authenticate you when you are on the Games;
(c) to remember your preferences and registration information, as applicable;
(d) to present and help measure and research the effectiveness of WaGame’s offerings, advertisements, and email communications; and
(e) to customize the content and advertisements provided to you through the Games.
2.3 WaGame may also use ad network providers to help present advertisements on the Games. These ad network providers use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to help the presenting, better targeting, and measuring of the effectiveness of their advertisements, using data gathered over time and across their networks of web pages to determine or predict the characteristics and preferences of their audiences. WaGame offers some services in connection with other Games. Personal information that you provide to those sites may be sent to WaGame in order to deliver these services. WaGame processes such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2.4 WaGame may also use third-party payment service providers (“PSP”), offering payment transaction services to WaGame in order to sell a product or service through the Games. Whenever you buy something from the Games (e.g., a virtual game item or a subscription for a game download), the information that you provide to the PSP is subject to their privacy policies, not ours. You explicitly consent that WaGame may provide personal information collected from you to a PSP for the purpose of the offering of the payment-transaction service whenever you buy something from the Games and that such PSP may use such data for (statistical) analysis of payment transactions. WaGame shall be allowed to notify a PSP regarding a user that engages in (or who a party believes has engaged in) any activity that is illegal, that violates any person’s rights, or that led to such user’s suspension or termination of use of the Games.
2.5 WaGame may share demographic information (certain anonymous information about you as a user, such as age and country) with certain ad network providers to help them deliver more relevant advertisements through their ad networks. The use of cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies by such third parties as ad network providers is subject to their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.
2.6 Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can (re)set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. You can opt out of receiving cookies from certain third-party advertising networks by resetting your browser. You may also use the following link to the Network Advertising Initiatives cookie opt-out page, which can be found here. However, some features and services may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
b) Personal Data, Including Your E-mail Address
2.7 You may choose to register with us for a better game experience and/or to create a public or semi-public profile for participating in our cell gaming network.

When you register with us, you provide us with certain personal information, such as a username, date and month of birth, and your email address. The information you disclose in that respect may also become publicly accessible. We provide you with privacy settings that restrict other users from accessing your information; namely, our network architecture and your privacy settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your information. We allow you to choose the information you provide to friends and networks through our Games. When your privacy settings permit it, other users may be able to see and supplement your profile (e.g., by posting comments).
2.8 If you decide to disclose information in a public venue or in games, we will consider that information as part of the public domain. This information will be accessible to any person who uses the Games.
