We use tools and services provided by 3rd parties, such as Cloudflare and Microsoft to host the site, provide security, reliability and provide analytics. Some embedded items on our site (such as Embedded YouTube videos) may attempt to use their own cookies and tracking mechanisms according to their own policies, but we've made an effort to limit this tracking where possible.
Information We Collect
The game engine we use, Unity, collects device information like IP address and device identifiers, as well as events completed or actions taken within the game, including level, number of credits, time it took you to earn them, metadata about in-game communications and the value and details of purchases, Which is passed onto us in Unity Analytics in the form of overall game usage data, such as active players, average session length, player retention and revenue. We only know the specific personally-identifiable information if the user supplies it directly to us, such as any information emailed directly to us. We also now use Unity Ads which may target ads using data Unity3D may have collected from other games with Unity Analytics and Unity Ads.
3rd Party services like Unity Analytics, Unity Ads and Unity iAP, as well as the unity engine also collects device end user information in accordance with their own privacy policies, listed below

Our website is not designed to collect user information, though general analytics information and data may be collected by our cdn provider CloudFlare to facilitate the security of the site. No personally-identifiable data is collected directly by us about you unless you provide it to us directly through an email.
You can opt-out of Unity Analytics. Simply open an ad and click on the Unity Data Privacy Icon, as shown below, to opt-out of data collection. This will prevent targeted advertising and delete all of the data collected for analytics such as number of sessions or level competion status (this will NOT delete your existing completion status of the levels such as your star rating and best time).

How do we use this information
We use the non-personal information we collect to improve our games. Tools like Unity Analytics & Cloudflare's analytics allow us to more effectively provide useful and entertaining products for our customers as they provide an overview that can be useful in revealing potential issues which users have in our games. For example, if a level or instruction in our game isn't clear, we may be able to determine how many users get stuck there and for how long, so we can make changes to it in a future update to make instructions, controls, and general gameplay more beneficial for the end customer.
Personally identifyable information collected directly by us such as names and email addresses are only used to communicate and provide services to our users, such as providing access to beta releases of our games, or providing support to our users through direct email communication. As such, our support staff will have access to this personal information.
Our website providers collect information for the purposes of maintaining the security & reliability of the website.
What Information do we Share
As described in 'Information We Collect', we collect most of our data through 3rd party services like Unity Analytics. As such, these services have access to your information as well. We may also have to share your information with 3rd parties, but only if it was the express purpose of gathering that information in the first place or for providing our services such as this website. For example, when you apply for beta access to our games, we have to disclose your personal information (like your email) to the mobile platform holders that host the beta programs for their respective online stores so we can supply our games through them to you. This means providing your email or other required personal information to Google if you sign up for the Android Beta or with Apple if you sign up for the iOS Beta.
Our website shares some information about visitors primarily to Cloudflare for the purposes of improving the experience, uptime & security of the website. When Cloudflare provides information to us about visitors, it is always aggregated and doesn't reveal private information. More information on Cloudflare's policies can be found here: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-au/privacypolicy/
