We at STUDIO 08 respect your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected and utilized by STUDIO 08, and how you can exercise your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that we collect through our mobile Games. If after reading this you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or your personal information, please send an email to support@studio08.co and we will try to address it.
STUDIO 08 is a gaming company, headquartered in Lahore, Pakistan. Our main business is to develop and publish game applications online via distribution networks like Play Store, Apple iTunes, or Steam.
The personal information that we may collect about you through the Services broadly falls into the following categories: When you play our Games, we may collect certain information automatically from your device; this information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws. Also, from time to time, you may send us personal information voluntarily, for example, when you email us for support.
We automatically collect certain types of information whenever you interact with our Games, via a 3rd party analytics partner such as Google Analytics. This information is stored in our partner’s servers and visible to us in anonymous, aggregated, or pseudonymized form, which does not focus on you individually. Specifically, this may include information like your device type, unique device identification numbers, broad geographic location (e.g., country derived from IP address), and technical information such as crash reporting.
In addition, we may collect information about your interactions with our Games, such as how long you play for, or whether you’ve encountered any technical glitches.
This type of anonymized data enables us to figure out how players use our Games, so we can make improvements to our Games over time, such as fixing bugs or identifying areas of the game which are too difficult.
In addition, in some of our free-to-play games, we also partner with mobile advertising networks, such as Admob. Each of these companies collects some pseudonymized usage data from players, such as whether or not a player finishes watching an ad all the way through, or whether or not a user clicks on an ad.
Our website is hosted by WebSouls, which uses cookies and similar tracking technology (collectively, “Cookies”) to collect and use personal information about you. When you visit our Website, the information WebSouls collects automatically may include information like your IP address, device or browser type, unique device identification numbers, or broad geographic location (e.g., country). This information is stored in our partner’s servers and visible to us in anonymous, aggregated, or pseudonymized form, which does not focus on you individually.
Viewing this information enables us to better understand the people who visit our Website, where they come from, and what content is of interest to them so we can improve the quality and relevance of our Website to our visitors.
Some of our games offer Platform Services which enable you to connect to other users or back up your save file online. For example, you might log into iCloud on an iOS device, or Google Play Games Services on an Android device. In such cases, we may get access to some information such as your User name or Gamer tag. In such cases, we treat such information in accordance with the privacy mandates of the Platform Service, and of this Privacy Policy.
Certain other parts of our Services may ask you to provide personal information voluntarily. For example, when you sign up for our mailing list, we may ask you to provide your name and email address, or receive that information when you send us a support email. The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide it.
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only:
Generally speaking, we’re in the business of making games, not sharing or selling data. We take pains to protect your data and ensure that whatever data you share with us is used strictly for the purposes of improving our Services, and for staying in touch with our players and Website visitors.
However, we may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.
Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. Specifically, our servers are located in the United States, and our third party service providers and partners operate around the world.
However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so. For example, to provide you with a service you have requested, or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or if this is not possible, then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@studio08.co.
