Privacy Policy

Effective: December 1, 2021

Binary Entertainment Studios

This Policy sets forth how we collect, use, protect, store, and otherwise process your Personal Information (defined below). This Policy does NOT apply to information we collect offline or you provide to or is collected by any third party (except as otherwise provided below).

For our practices regarding children, please see the Children’s section in Section 2 below.

1. What types of Personal Information does the Company collect?

Generally

We may collect different types of information from you depending on how you use our Services, including Personal Information. “Personal Information” means information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. The categories of Personal Information we may collect are listed below. Certain types of Personal Information may fall under more than one category.

  • Identifiers: We may collect your first, middle and last name, email address, username, postal address, Social Security number or employer identification number, telephone number, IP address, or display name.
  • Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law: We may collect your date of birth or age.
  • Commercial information: We may collect your sale history in the Game.
  • Voice data: We may receive your voice data through your microphone. Typically we do not store this information, although we reserve the right to process your voice data locally in certain public room instances for moderation purposes. For moderation purposes, some of this voice data may be recorded and sent to a third party service for additional processing. Any such recordings are anonymized and retained for 30 days. Voice data in private instances is never processed, stored or sent to third parties.
  • Sensory data: We may receive your voice through your microphone and animation data derived from your head movement and facial expressions (for example through your TrueDepth® camera on certain Apple® devices). We do not store this information.
  • Internet or other similar network activity: We may collect your play history, running/loaded dynamic link library (“DLLs”) on your computer or data gathered from a “small memory dump.”
  • Categories of personal information described in Section 1798.80(e) of the California Customer Records: We may collect your first, middle, and last name, telephone number, physical characteristics, signature, Social Security number, postal address, or account number.
  • Other categories: We may collect information from the content that you create and share publicly in the Game, and information you choose to reveal in the Game through multiplayer chat or other public functions.

We may also collect information that does not generally identify you but may become associated with your account. We may use information that does not identify you for any permissible business purpose under applicable law.

2. Children Under the Age of 13

This section notifies parents of our practices with respect to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 (“Children” and each a “Child”) and the use and disclosure of such information. This section only applies to Children and supplements the other provisions of this Policy.

Junior Mode

If a user of the Game self-identifies or is identified by us as being under the age of 13, their gameplay experience will automatically be set as “Junior Mode.” In order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and its rules (collectively, “COPPA”), users in “Junior Mode” (“Junior Users” and each a “Junior User”) may have access to fewer features of the Game than non-Junior Users. This is designed to limit our access and the access of users of the Services to the Personal Information of Children. Junior Users are restricted from communicating with or otherwise making their Personal Information publicly available to other users of the Services. For example, Junior Users are unable to use “whiteboarding” or voice communication functions of the Game, and Junior Users’ display names will be randomized/anonymized.

Registration

Junior Users may register an account with us using a registration process similar to the one adults go through; however, in compliance with COPPA, Junior Users may first be subject to a parental notice and/or consent process prior to activation of their account. To initiate the registration and/or consent process for a Junior User, we collect a Parent’s email address, and the Parent is then requested to create a password for their Child’s account, as well as supply additional account information and settings. We will automatically generate randomized display names for registered Junior Users.

Use/disclosure

The Personal Information we collect from/about Children is used to give Children access to certain features of the Game and communicate with a Parent about the Child’s registration, including for the purpose of verifying their Child’s information in connection with registration. We do not share or otherwise disclose Children’s Personal Information except (1) as may be necessary to protect the safety of a Child, including by disclosing his or her Personal Information, where appropriate, to law enforcement agencies or for an investigation related to public safety; (2) to enable us to take precautions against liability; (3) to protect the safety and security of the Services; or (4) where required to do so by law or legal process.

We and the third-party service providers listed below may collect or maintain Children’s Personal Information through the Services.

  • Exit Games GmbH
  • Amplitude, Inc.
  • Google Analytics
  • Microsoft Azure

At any time, parents may review their Child’s Personal Information maintained by us, require us to correct or delete such Personal Information, request that we delete their Child’s account, and/or refuse to permit us from further collecting or using the Child’s Personal Information by contacting us using the email address provided above. To protect parents’ privacy and security and the privacy and security of Children that use the Services, we may require parents to take certain steps or provide additional information, which we will keep strictly confidential, to verify a parent’s identity before we provide any information or make corrections.

3. From what sources does the Company collect Personal Information?

  • Limited retention. We only keep your Personal Information for as long as we need it for business and operational needs or to comply with any statutory, regulatory, or legal obligations. For example, we may retain Personal Information collected from you to support customer service inquiries and prevent repeated violations or suspected violations of the Terms of Service if your account has been banned or your access to the Services has been disabled for any reason.

  • Security measures. We use appropriate measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk involved and have implemented contractual, technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use, and modification. For example, when you directly provide us with Personal Information, including through registration, we will encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology or similar technologies. As part of our privacy compliance processes, we review these security procedures on an ongoing basis to consider new technology and methods as necessary. However, please understand that our implementation of security measures as described in this Policy does not guarantee the security of your Personal Information.
