MythWalker Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 17, 2023

NANTgames, Inc. (“NANTgames,”“we,” or “us”) is a developer of an augmented reality mobile game called MythWalker. We recognize that your privacy is important, and that your choice to share information with us is a critical part of how we can try to engage and interact with you as part of the MythWalker community. We’ve developed this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) to explain our technologies and to describe how and why we collect, use, and share your information as part of the MythWalker community.

Our Services: This Privacy Policy applies to our collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information through our online community portal website at www.[URL].com (“Website”), our MythWalker mobile game (“App”), from any other interactions you have with us (collectively, our “Services”).

Please note that this Policy does not apply to our processing of information about employees or contractors. Nor does the Policy apply to the data handling practices of any partners which link to our Website or App.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND USE

Personal Information: When we use the term “Personal Information,” we mean any information that relates to, either directly or indirectly, an identifiable person (meaning you). Note that information which cannot be related to you (for example aggregated information) is not Personal Information and is not subject to this Policy.

We collect information in a variety of different ways:

Information You Provide to Us.

We collect and use the following categories of Personal Information you provide in the following ways and for the following purposes:

Registration. If you register for an account with our Services, we may collect your name, account credentials, contact information, demographic information and billing information, including email and physical address, username, password and payment card information.

We use this information to administer your account, provide you with the relevant Services and information, communicate with you regarding your account and your use of the Services, and for customer support purposes. Please note that we work with third-party payment processors for the collection and use of a payment card information and do not receive such data directly.

Communications. If you communicate with us through any paper or electronic form, we may collect your name, email address, mailing address, cell phone number, date of birth, or any other Personal Information you choose to provide to us.

We use this information to investigate and respond to your inquiries, and to communicate with you, to enhance the services we offer to our users and to manage and grow our organization. If you register for our newsletters or updates, we will communicate with you by email.

To unsubscribe from promotional messages, please follow the instructions within our messages and review the Online Privacy Choices section below. We may also send you transactional and Service-related messages by email, push notification, or – if you provide your phone number – by text message.

Community Interaction. By playing the game, you are providing us with Personal Information related to Your gameplay. Also, since you have the opportunity to interact with other players and members of the MythWalker community (either on the Website or during gameplay) You provide this information to us as part of that interaction.

Information We Collect Online.

We use various technologies to collect information about the device or browser you use to navigate our Website, App or from your use of our Services, including:

Web Logs. Like many websites, apps and email communications, we automatically collect certain information about your device automatically and store it in log files. Some of this information may be indirectly related to you, and some may not. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and/or clickstream data.

We use this information to analyze patterns on our Services, manage and administer the content, improve the performance of the Services, and for fraud protection, and to protect our rights and the rights and safety of individuals.

Cookies and Other Data Collection Technologies. We and our service providers use cookies, scripts and similar technologies to manage the Services and to collect information about you and your use of the Services.

These technologies are used to help us to recognize you, customize or personalize your experience, advertise products or services to you, and analyze the use of our Services to make them more useful to you. These technologies may also allow us to collect demographic and statistical data and provide this information to our service providers to help deliver their services.

Most internet browsers allow you to remove or manage cookie functions and adjust your privacy and security preferences. Outside of the use of the cookie settings in your browser, there are also browser-specific settings like “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) or “Global Privacy Control” (“GPC”). While the DNT signal is not widely adopted and is not a finalized standard (and so we don’t respond to DNT signals), the GPC signal is responded to by our Website. Note that if you have agreed to the use of tracking technologies via a banner on our website, we will follow that choice instead of the more general GPC signal.

For information on how to do this, access the “help” menu on your internet browser, or access http://www.aboutcookies.org/how-to-control-cookies. Please note, however, that disabling our cookies may mean that you will not be able to take full advantage of our Services.

Google Analytics. We use “Google Analytics” to collect information about your use of the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Services, what pages they access when they do so and what other sites they used prior to using the Services.

Google uses the data collected to track and examine the use of the Services, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. To learn more about the use of data collection technologies by Google for analytics and to exercise choice regarding those technologies, please visit the Google Analytics Opt-Out browser add-on page.
