WHAT THE PRIVACY POLICY GOVERNS
This privacy policy governs Your use of the website via your terminal browser or any other device(s), the website that was created by Pocketmons and the processing of the data obtained and stored as part of providing that service.
WHAT INFORMATION MAY THE APPLICATION OBTAIN AND HOW MAY IT BE USED
User Provided Information
The Website obtains the information You provide when You use the Website.
When You register or transact with Us, You may provide (a) Your name, email address, user name, password and other registration information; (b) transaction-related information, such as when you respond to any offers, or download products from us; (c) information You provide Us when You contact Us for help; (d) information You enter into Our system, such as contact information and chosen username.
Automatically Collected Information
In addition, the Website may collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of machine You use, your IP address, Your machine/device operating system, the type of Internet browsers You use, and information about the way You use the Website.
Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by use of the Website?
Yes, we will share your information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this privacy statement. Such as where relevant and agreed to such as Server Hosts.
We may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information
As required by law; such as to comply with a legal order, or similar legal process. When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. And with Our trusted services providers who work on Our behalf, who do not have an independent use of the information We disclose to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement.
AUTOMATIC DATA COLLECTION AND ADVERTISING
We may work with analytics tools from companies for example Google to help Us understand how the website is being used, such as the frequency and duration of usage. We may choose to work with advertisers and third party advertising networks, who we may give permission to access data on how You interact with advertising provided in the Website. Advertisers and advertising networks use some of the information collected by the Website.
LEGAL BASES
The legal bases for which we collect and use the information depends on what the information is and why we collected it.
The four legal bases we rely on (All Users)
Contract. This means we need the information to perform our contract with you. For example, to record your username to a high scores list we would need to use your username, sending it to the server where the high scores list is stored to be made visible to you and the other users.
Legitimate Interests. This means we have a legitimate interest that does not outweigh your privacy rights. When we collect and process information based on our legitimate interests, we consider how we can accomplish what we need to in a way that is the least obtrusive on your privacy. For example, it is in our interest to protect your safety and security in the app, so we collect and use information that has been flagged by users or requested by law enforcement; to make sure you are satisfied with how the Services work, troubleshoot technical problems or develop new features, we collect and use information about how you and others use the Services; and to respond to your service inquiries, we collect and use information in that request and, if relevant to the inquiry, information about how you access and use the Services.
Legal Obligation. We may need to use your personal information to comply with a law enforcement preservation request, subpoena, or other legal process or to protect the rights of other users.
Consent. If we have no other legal basis for collecting or using your information, we will ask you for consent for a specific purpose. If we do, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not apply to any processing conducted in reliance on lawful processing bases other than consent.
DATA RETENTION POLICY, MANAGING YOUR INFORMATION
We will retain User Provided data for as long as You use the Website and for a reasonable time thereafter. We will retain Automatically Collected information for up to 24 months and thereafter may store it in aggregate. If You would like us to delete User Provided Data that You have provided via the Website, please contact us at (insert email here) and we will respond in a reasonable time. Please note that some or all of the User Provided Data may be required in order for the Application to function properly.

SECURITY
