1. Purpose
Mystfang Media ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our users (“users”, “you”, or "your"). This Privacy Policy explains our information practices regarding the way we collect, store, protect, use and disclose the information obtained from users of our games, applications, websites (each a "Site"), forums, blogs, and any other online or offline offerings that we may provide to you (collectively, “Services”). Our games may be made available through third-party platforms such as Steam, Apple, Google and others. This Privacy Policy is limited to information collected by Mystfang Media when you are using our Services.
2. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that is processed by Mystfang Media when providing the Services to you.
If you do not want us to collect, store, use, or share your information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy, you may not use our Services.
Mystfang Media is not responsible for the content of third-parties, their actions, any services they provide or how they use information you give them.
Mystfang Media reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy and your continued use of the Services shall mean your acceptance of any changes to this Privacy Policy.
3. Types Of Personal Information We Collect And How It Is Used
When the term "personal information" is used in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that identifies, describes, relates to, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you. It does not include aggregated or de-identified information that is maintained in a form that is not reasonably capable of being associated with or linked to you.
The types of personal information we may collect (directly from you or from third-party sources) and our privacy practices depend on the nature of the relationship you have with us and the requirements of applicable law.
The primary reasons we collect information are:
-
To provide and improve our Services.
-
To administer your use of our Services.
-
To enable you to enjoy and easily navigate our Services.
We endeavor to collect only that information which is relevant.
3.1 Information We Receive Directly From You
When you use our Services we may collect the following personal information depending upon which part of our Services you are using.
Where applicable, if you do not provide us with the relevant personal information, you may not be able to use our Services completely.
Registering An Account: When you play any of the games that we offer as part of our Services, we may store information about your progress, actions and purchases in that game so that you can save and load your achievements and progress. You may also have the choice to create an account (using PlayFab) to save your gameplay data and Virtual Currencies/Items in the case of situations including, but not limited to:
-
Playing the game on another device.
-
A damaged device.
-
A lost device.
When you register for our Services as a registered user, we may collect personal information such as email address and user name. We collect this information in order to provide our Services to you (for example, creating a PlayFab account), for fraud prevention, community support and customer support and protection. User names may also be displayed on leaderboards and friends lists where we provide them.
Communications With Us: We may collect personal information such as your first name, last name, email address, phone number, mailing address and the content of all messages if you choose to contact or otherwise communicate with us either though the Site or other messaging channels (e.g., Social Media).
User Reviews: Occasionally, you may share your comments about our games and provide certain information that may include personal information. All information collected from your participation in such reviews is provided by you voluntarily. We may use such information to improve our products, Sites and/or Services and in any manner consistent with the policies provided herein.
Registration For Contests: Occasionally, Mystfang Media may run contests. We ask those who enter the contests to provide contact information (e.g., an email address). If you participate in a contest, your contact information may be used to reach you about the contest and for other promotional, marketing and business purposes. All contest entry forms will provide a way for participants to opt-out of any communications that are not related to awarding prizes.
3.2 Information Collected From Third-Parties
If you play any of our games or use any of our Services on connected third-party applications or connect our Services to any third-party applications, like Steam, Apple or Google, Mystfang Media may receive certain information about you from the provider of the third-party application. The information received depends on the third-party application, your privacy settings and, if applicable, your friends' privacy settings on that third-party application.
We may sell Virtual Currency and Virtual Items through our Services. When you make purchases through our Services, we process your payments through a third-party application, including the Apple App Store and Google Play App Store (together with any similar applications, “App Stores”). The third-party application may collect certain financial information from you to process a payment on behalf of Mystfang Media, including your name, email address, address and other billing information. App Stores do not share the information they collect from you with us. Mystfang Media does not have access to your credit card or bank account data. However, third-party payment processors may share non-financial information with us related to your purchases, like the items purchased to fulfill your order.
If you access our Services from a third-party application or connect our Services to a third-party application, you should also read that third-party application’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If you are unclear about what information a third-party application is sharing with us, please go to that third-party application to find out more about their privacy practices and any options available to you regarding such sharing.
Third-Party Tools:

Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on our Services. Your interactions with these features are governed by the Privacy Policy of the company providing it.

4. Disclosure Of Information
At Mystfang Media, we do not sell, as such term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), your personal information to third-parties, nor have we sold personal information in the past 12 months. Nevertheless, as part of our business, we may share, transmit, disclose, grant access to, make available, and provide your information with and to the following third-parties.
Service Providers: We may share any information we receive with our service providers. The types of service providers to whom we entrust personal information includes companies that provide: (i) provision of IT and related services; (ii) provision of information and services you have requested; (iii) customer service activities; (iv) analytics and search engine activities that assist us in the improvement and optimization of our Services; and (v) any supporting activities in connection with our Services. An example of one third-party service found in some of our games is PlayFab. We use PlayFab as a backend to log you in and provide services for you so that you may have the best experience possible and access certain tools we use to make our games run. For more information, please see the Microsoft Privacy Policy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-US/privacystatement.
Third-Party Advertising Including Personalized Advertising: We use advertising to enable us to offer some of our games, game features, and other Services for free. These advertisements may include, without limitation, banner ads in games or on our other Services, full-screen ads between levels, or through an “offer wall” in which third-party advertisers offer to provide Virtual Currency or other in-game items to players in exchange for watching an advertisement. Offer walls are hosted by third-party offer wall providers, and the offers are made by third-party advertisers, not by Mystfang Media.
We may share some of your information with advertisers to help make the advertisements you see more relevant to your interests when you use our Services. We do not directly share personal information that identifies you with third-party advertisers for their advertising purposes unless you give us your consent, where legally required. To enable advertisers, ad networks, and offer wall providers to serve you with more relevant ads, they may collect, or we may collect and share with them, the following types of information when you use our Services:
-
Aggregated information (information about you and other users collectively, but not specifically identifiable to you).
-
Anonymous information.
-
Certain technical information (including IP Addresses, MAC Addresses for mobile devices and mobile device IDs)
In addition to serving you with relevant ads, the information collected may be used to:
-
Measure how effective ads are.
-
Offer you personalized advertising in order to personalize your experience by showing you advertisements for products and services that are more likely to appeal to you (a practice known as personalized advertising).
-
Undertake web analytics to analyze traffic and other player activity to improve your experience.
Please note, after clicking on a third-party advertisement or offer, you may no longer be on a site or app controlled by Mystfang Media.
If you do not want to receive personalized advertisements from third-parties, please see the Control Over Your Information section below. Please note that the practices of third-party companies delivering advertisements on our Services are subject to those companies’ own privacy policies. If you have any questions about how these third-party services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.
Other Users: Some of our games may support social features such as leaderboards and friends lists. If you choose to register for our Services and submit your personal information to create a profile in our games, these social features will display your game activity and user name to other registered users. Since your user name is public, we recommend that you do not use your real name as your user name since that may allow others to identify you in the real world. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the other users who will view and use the posted information.
With Your Consent: We may share your information with certain other third-parties or publicly with your consent or direction. For example, with your consent or direction, we may post your testimonial on our Sites or service-related publications.
Contests, Sweepstakes, And Survey Providers: We may share personal information with third-parties who assist us in delivering our contests, sweepstakes, or survey offerings and processing the responses. In some jurisdictions, we are required to publicly share information of winners.

In such event, Mystfang Media will endeavor to direct the transferee to use personal information in a manner that is consistent with the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such personal information was collected.
