Please read this Privacy Notice and Policy (“Policy”) carefully. It applies to all information
Batcave Digital LLC and its affiliated entities (collectively “Company”, “we”, or “us”) collect
from you through our web sites and game applications (collectively “Services”). Company is a
developer and distributor of digital games via applications available via the app store of Google.
This Policy describes:
• the information we collect, how we collect it, and why;
• how we use and share that information;
• how you can access and update that information;
• the choices you can make about how we collect, use, and share your information; and
• how we protect information.
If you do not want us to collect, use, or share your information in the ways described in
this Policy, you should not access or use the Services. By accessing or using the Services,
you expressly acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Policy, and agree to the
processing of your Personal Information as specified herein.
By using the Services, you acknowledge that we will use your information in the United
States, and any other country where we operate. Please be aware that the privacy laws and
standards in certain countries, including the rights of authorities to access your personal
information, may differ from those that apply in the country in which you reside. We will
transfer personal information only to these countries to which we are permitted by law to
transfer personal information, and we will take steps to ensure that your personal
information continues to enjoy appropriate protections. Please read on to learn more
about how we protect personal information, including when we transfer personal
information outside of the EU.
1. What is Personal Information?
“Personal Information” means information that specifically identifies an individual such as a
name, address, telephone number, mobile number, or e-mail address, or information about an
individual that could be directly linked to such identifying information such as device IP
address and geo-location information (“Device Information”). Personal Information does not
include “Usage Information” (meaning anonymous site usage information such as visit
statistics, page views, device type, etc.), unless such information is connected to your Personal
Information.
Under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to the extent applicable, personal
data is defined as: “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data
subject'); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in
particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data,
an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic,
mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.”
2. Information Collected on Our Services
Information You Provide To Us.
You may choose to provide Personal Information through the Services. The Company may
collect Personal Information when you request information from us, contact us, or submit
comments. If you do not want your Personal Information collected in this manner, please do
not submit it.
You may also elect to participate in certain activities on our Services that let you publicly
communicate or share information such as player profiles, message boards, chat or messaging
features, or gifting/invitation-sending features. If you participate in these activities, we may
collect any or all of the information you submit, even if submitted through a player-to-player
messaging system.
We will also collect your Personal Information when you access the Services through a social
networking site, such as Facebook, or through Facebook Connect functionality, including any
or all of the following information: your name; your profile picture; your social network ID
number; your friends’ public profile data on the social networking site; your email address;
your location; your gender; your birthday or age; and any other information that the social
networking site chooses to share with us. If you access the public areas of the Services through
a social networking site or application, we may post your profile information and picture as
allowed by the social networking site.
Information Collected by Automated Means.
Whenever you use the Services, the Company, as well as any third-party advertisers and/or
service providers, may automatically collect Usage Information and Device Information. The
technologies used on the Services to collect Usage Information and Device Information may
include, without limitation, web beacons and cookies. Web beacons (also known as Internet
tags, pixel tags, tracking beacons and clear GIFs) are clear/transparent graphic images placed
on a web page or email which gather Usage Information and Device Information. Cookies are
data files placed on a device when it is used to visit the Services. If you would prefer not to
accept cookies, most browsers will allow you to: (i) change your browser settings to notify you
when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; (ii) to disable
existing cookies; or (iii) to set your browser to automatically reject any cookies. However,
please be aware that if you disable or reject cookies, some features on our Services may not
work properly because we may not be able to recognize you, and offers we provide may not be
as relevant to you.
We use tracking technologies to recognize your logged-in state on Services, to understand what
Service features visitors are interested in, to make the Services function for you, and to help
your browsing experience and use of the Services feel more customized. More generally, we
use tracking technologies for the following.
Security and Authentication (Strictly Necessary)
Some cookie and similar technology functions are necessary and vital to ensuring that the
Services work properly for visitors, such as maintaining the security, safety, and integrity of the
Services, authentication and logging into Services (including remembering permissions and
consents you have granted), and ensuring the ability to securely complete transactions.
Account and User Preferences
Some technologies are used to remember your account and preferences over time, such as
remembering your account or keeping yourself logged in when returning to the Services, and
maintaining your choices with respect to Service features, and customizing content based on
how you use the Services.
Social Networks
Some technologies help you to interact with social networks you are signed into while using the
Services, such as sharing content with the social network, logging in with the social network,
and other features you employ with the social network, or that are allowed in the social
network’s privacy policy. These may be set and controlled by the social networks, and your
preferences with those social networks.
Performance and Analytics
Some technologies help provide performance data on how the Services are functioning in order
to improve the Services, including, for example, data on site and app functionality and speed to
help us optimize the Services, and detect and gather reports on bugs to help make the Services
work better.
The Services also employ Google Analytics to help us understand how the Services are used by
visitors. For some of the advertising features listed below, like retargeting, data from Google
Analytics may be combined with our first-party data and third-party cookies (like Google’s
advertising cookies). To see how to opt-out of Google Analytics Advertising Features, see the
Opt-Out section of this policy.
Marketing Services
We partner with third-party service providers that may use various tracking technologies to
permit us and them to learn about what ads you see and click when you visit the Services, or to
show you ads on and off Services. These may include things such as:
Frequency capping, which limits the number of times a user’s browser or mobile device
displays the same ad;
Attribution tracking, which estimates what advertising or marketing source brought someone to
the Services, or determines what marketing source led to actions like a visit or a purchase;
Remarketing, which shows relevant ads to an audience based on prior browsing patterns on
Services;
Audience targeting, which refers to targeting advertisements to a large audience based on the
audience’s known or inferred demographics; and
Cross-device recognition, which recognizes actions across multiple devices or browsers.
Some third-party service providers may provide information like demographics, cross-device
information, or interest categories from a combination of sources that, while not identifying you
personally, permit us to provide you with more relevant and useful advertising. In some cases,
this information may have non-marketing performance analytics uses as well.
These technologies allow a partner to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you
visit the Services based on data like a cookie, your IP address, or device ID, but do not allow
access to other personal information from us. However, these technologies may allow us or a
third party to recognize you, either from a single device or across devices, over time. These
third parties are required to follow applicable laws, self-regulatory programs, and our data
protection rules where applicable. However, we do not have control over these third parties,
who each have their own privacy policies and privacy practices.
Information We Receive from Third Parties.
We also may supplement and combine the information we collect about you through the
Services with other information we receive from third parties in order to enhance our ability to
serve you, to tailor our content to you, and to market products and services to you. In those
cases, we will apply this Policy to any Personal Information received, unless we have disclosed
otherwise.

We store information about players and visitors to our Services on servers located in the United
