Doppelgames, Inc. ("Doppelgames", "we", "us", "our") respects your privacy, and doesn't share your private information with people you don't choose to share it with.

Our Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share, and help you make informed decisions when using our applications or accessing www.doppelgames.com.

By using Doppelgames applications or accessing our website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you should first contact us at privacy@doppelgames.com.

When you launch one of our applications you provide us with four types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us; locational use information collected by us as you interact with our services; usage information that is collected by our servers as you use our applications; and information related to third party services that you would like to access through our applications and services.

When you register with us, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your username, your email address and a photo representation ("avatar") and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.

When you launch or interact with one of our applications, we collect your device type and IP address. This information is gathered for all users. In addition, we use the unique Device ID ("UUID") that Apple makes available for each iPhone/iPod touch device in order to authenticate the user session. This UUID functions similarly to a persistent cookie to make it possible to authenticate the user without the need for a password. You can disassociate a UUID from a user account at any time by emailing us at privacy@doppelgames.com.

When you use our applications, you may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your friend list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.

You post content through our applications at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your content and associated meta-data such as location information, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you may choose to share your information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that user content you post with us will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained in our applications. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of user content may remain viewable in cached and archived form or if other users have copied or stored your user content.

Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on our applications is a violation of our Terms of Service and should be reported to privacy@doppelgames.com.

If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our applications, we may ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email or instant message inviting him or her to visit the site. We store this information to send this one-time invitation, to register a friend connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at privacy@doppelgames.com to request that we remove this information from our database.

We may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of our applications through the operation of the service in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience.

By using our applications and site, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

You can configure certain third party services to be accessed by our applications and services. When you do so, we will store your access credentials to such third party services in a secure manner; we may temporarily cache your list of contacts from these services; and we will store messages, photos and other content created using our applications that are delivered to such third party services. We do this to improve the performance and experience of these services (such as, adding photos and location information not available in the third party services).

When you register with us, you create your own profile.

Your username and profile are your unique identity that is shared across all of the applications in our portfolio. As a previously registered user, when you download and access a new Doppelgames application, your user profile is automatically incorporated into that new application.

Your username and avatar (but not email address) may be displayed to other users to enable you to connect with people through our site or applications. We may occasionally use your username and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by us that we think you may find valuable.

We may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a friend sends you a new message you may receive an email or other notification alerting you to that fact. These announcements may also relate to new product launches or other relevant information about us and the services we provide.

We may use information in your profile or related to your activities on our applications in order to personalize the application experience for you. We may also share information such as user trends and application downloads in aggregate to third parties without identifying you as an individual.

We promote users sharing information with others. Some of our applications have privacy settings to allow you to control what information is made available.

We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) necessary for business operations (e.g., emailing you through a third party server such as Gmail), 2) legally required or when we choose to collaborate with a law enforcement agency in the investigation of a possible crime, 3) permitted by you.

If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Doppelgames business, or individual business units owned by Doppelgames, Inc., were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

Advertisements that may appear on our site or applications are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information.

Doppelgames users may modify or delete any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their Doppelgames account may do so by emailing us at privacy@doppelgames.com. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to other users.

Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on Doppelgames, however, (e.g., sending a direct message to another Doppelgames user, sharing high scores with the community on the global scoreboard) you generally cannot remove such communications.

We take appropriate precautions to protect our users information. Your account information is located on a secured server. If you have any questions about the security of Doppelgames applications, please contact us at privacy@doppelgames.com.

Your use of Doppelgames, and any disputes arising from it, is subject to this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Service and all of its dispute resolution provisions including arbitration, limitation on damages and choice of law. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service at any time. Non-material changes and clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes will take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we make changes, we will post them and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's new effective date. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or through notice on our home page. We encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please contact us at privacy@doppelgames.com. You may also contact us by mail at 620 Moulton Avenue, Studio 111, Los Angeles, CA 90031.
