Caramel Tech Studios (Private) Limited, and its’ affiliates ("Caramel Tech", “us”, “our” or "we") are dedicated to protecting the privacy rights of our users ("users", “your”, or "you"). This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes the ways we collect, store, use, and manage the information, including personal information, that you provide or we collect in connection with our website at http://www.carameltechstudios.com (the “Site”) or any Caramel Tech game or application provided on other websites or other third party sources (collectively, the "Service"). Personal information can include, for example, an individual’s first and last name, address, telephone number, e- mail address or credit card number. Please note that the scope of this Privacy Policy is limited to information collected or received by Caramel Tech through your use of the Service. Caramel Tech is not responsible for the actions of third party people or companies, the content of their sites, the use of information you provide to them, or any products or services they may offer. Any link to those sites does not constitute our sponsorship of, or affiliation with, those people or companies.

BY INSTALLING, USING OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL, USE OR OTHERWISE ACCESS THE SERVICE. We may update this Policy from time to time. You are responsible for periodically reading this Policy. We will post all changes to this Policy on this page and the modified policy will specify its effective date.

Information Collected and Used

Our primary objective in collecting your information is to provide and enhance the Service and to enable you to easily navigate and enjoy the Service. For example, Caramel Tech may use your information to register your account, provide customer support, resolve disputes, collect fees, connect users, and notify you of updates to the game (or of other/new games) and special promotions.

iOS or Android Platforms

When you use any of the Caramel Tech games or applications, we automatically collect and record certain information such as your unique device ID, MAC address, advertising identifier, OpenUDID, IMEI number, hardware type, the version of your operating system (“OS”), your in-game activity, and your location (based on your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address). This information is useful to us for troubleshooting and helps us understand usage trends.

Caramel Tech uses country information to customize the user experience and promotions, enforce our terms of service, and make recommendations about user connections.

We may also give users the opportunity to opt-in to location-based services, which rely upon a device’s GPS coordinates. You may opt-out of these location services via the settings on your device. A user's location may be used to suggest friends with whom they might want to connect, analyze usage trends or target certain promotions.

Some of our games or applications may permit a user to record his or her voice and share such recordings with an opponent in the context of such game or application. Caramel Tech may use these recordings and post them as well as the contents of your play sessions on Facebook on a publicly available page (and link your data with your opponent). Caramel Tech may store these recordings on its servers.

Platforms/Third-Party Marketplaces

In the course of providing our Service on third party platforms/marketplaces, such as Apple’s App Store, the platforms/marketplaces may collect information about you or receive information from us in order for the platforms/marketplaces to provide or analyze their services. Please note that these platforms/marketplaces were developed and administered by people or companies not affiliated with or controlled by Caramel Tech and that Caramel Tech is not responsible for the actions of those people or companies.

In-Game Dialog Boxes

When you register to play our games through the Service, we may ask whether you’d like to provide us with certain pieces of information, which could include: your email, username, phone number, gender, birthdate, home address, and address book. We will do this through in-game dialog boxes, which you may choose to skip. If you provide your email address in connection with a Caramel Tech game, the email address will be retained by Caramel Tech and we may use that email address to contact you about your gaming experience with Caramel Tech games and notify you about company news and promotions. We may also use part of your email address for friend-to-friend or user-to-user interaction and chat, voice or messaging functionality and other similar features. Your username may be used for social features in our games (e.g., presenting someone's name on a message board). Your phone number may be used to help connect you with other users via our social networking system and for SMS notifications.
