7"We, our Service Providers, and Third-Party Services use cookies and other tracking technologies (including technologies designed for mobile devices, called software development kits, of SDKs) ('Tracking Technologies') to track information about your use of our Services. We collect the following information about you from your use of our Services through these technologies: your browser type and operating system; web pages you view; links you click; your IP address; and the length of time you visit our Site, Applications, and/or use our Services."
The app embeds third-party SDKs and tracking technologies that collect data directly from users' devices, sharing browsing activity, IP addresses, and usage data with ad networks, analytics providers, and other third parties.
"We collect the following information from your mobile device: IP Address, Device AdId, Device Model, Device Name, Operating System, System Memory Size, Operating System Name, Operating System Version, and Country. We will also create a Support Code and Player ID that we associate with your device."
PLAYSTUDIOS collects extensive device information including the advertising ID and device name, which goes beyond what a casino-style game needs for core functionality and enables cross-service tracking and profiling.
"Location Data, device shared location, and Wi-Fi connection location [are collected from] Players, Player's Devices, Data Services, Service Providers [for purposes including] Advertising and marketing, Internal analytics and reporting, Internal research, Player acquisition."
PLAYSTUDIOS collects device location and WiFi connection location data, which can enable precise positioning, and uses this data for advertising, marketing, and player acquisition — purposes beyond core game functionality.
"This includes advertisements based on your activity across time and sites and services (including our Site, Application, and Services) ('Interest-based Advertising'). These Vendors and Third-Party Services include third-party ad network providers, and/or traffic measurement services, as well as advertisers, sponsors, and other ad partners."
PLAYSTUDIOS and its ad partners track user activity across multiple sites and services over time to build advertising profiles, constituting cross-service behavioral tracking.
"We may change this Notice from time to time, so please be sure to check back periodically. We will post any changes to this Notice on our Site. If we make any changes to this Notice that materially affect our practices with regard to the personal information we have previously collected from you, we will endeavor to provide you with notice in advance of such change by highlighting the change on our Site."
PLAYSTUDIOS can change the privacy policy at any time with only a website posting, and only 'endeavors' (not guarantees) to provide advance notice for material changes — placing the burden on users to check back periodically.
"We will store your personal data no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which your personal data is processed. If you have made purchases within any of our Applications, or redeemed a Reward, we may store your personal data for as long the statute of limitations for making a claim relating to that purchase or redemption. We may store anonymized data indefinitely."
Retention periods are vague ('no longer than necessary') with no concrete timelines, and any purchase or reward redemption can justify extended retention. Anonymized data is kept indefinitely.
"Please know, however, that if you request to be forgotten and subsequently download and play any of our Applications, none of your historical performance data will be available, meaning you will lose any virtual currency, game progress, and Loyalty Points that you had at the time your request is processed."
Requesting data deletion permanently destroys all game progress, virtual currency, and loyalty points with no option to export or preserve them, creating a punitive disincentive against exercising deletion rights.
