Privacy Policy

Policies

Effective Date: 24th May 2018

Gametize is a platform that provides content creators an avenue to interact with their audience. In using our product and services (collectively referred to as "we", "us", "Gametize", "Gametize platform"), information is entrusted to us and we want to make our intentions and processes, and your options, as transparent as possible. Our Privacy Policy will help you understand what information we collect, how it is used and the choices you have as a user.

Gametize provides a platform for users in any capacity to post content including but not limited to photos, comments, Challenges and any other materials that contribute to user experience on Gametize. Depending on the discretion of your interactions with us and other users of the Gametize platform, this Content may be publicly available, visible to and shareable by other users on the platform in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service (Admin Terms of Service or EULA, whichever is applicable).

Our Policy applies to users of Gametize in every capacity.

We will explain the following:

What information we collect and why we do so
How that information is used
Your options in accessing and managing that information

User Roles

If you join a Project as a Guest and/or create a Player account, or if you are an Administrator by virtue of subscribing to a Basic Plan or appointed as one, you are a "user", as further described in the Admin Terms of Service and EULA (whichever is applicable). If you are using Gametize by (explicit and implicit*) invitation of a Administrator - regardless of whether the Administrator is your employer, another organization, or an individual - that Administrator will determine any additional policies regarding storage, access, modification, deletion, sharing, and retention of player data which applies to your use of Gametize. *Implicit invitation refers to an Administrator publishing his Project(s) publicly, allowing any user to access and join the Project(s).

We follow the "what's yours is yours" guideline, where the creator of the intellectual property owns their own content. This means that you retain all your ownership rights in any Content you upload onto the Gametize platform.

You license to Gametize all patent, trademarks, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to such Content for publication on the Gametize platform.

You grant Gametize a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable and transferable license to anonymize, use, prepare derivative works of and display the Content in connection with the Gametize platform and Gametize's (and its successors' and affiliates') business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Gametize platform (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels.

The above licenses granted by you in Content will terminate within a commercially reasonable time after you remove or delete your Content from Gametize.

You understand and agree that Gametize may retain removed or deleted Content, but not display or use Content for purposes other than analytics and internal research.

The above permissions do not apply to Personal Data. Gametize will not use Personal Data under any circumstances for preparing derivative works or for any purposes other than what has been expressed. Upon your request for deletion, Gametize will not retain any Personal Data for any purposes.

Information we collect

Content and Personal Data

1. Content

Content and information submitted by users to Gametize are referred to in this policy as "Content". Here are some examples of Content: any data and content created, uploaded, posted, shared or otherwise made available by Administrators through the Gametize platform, and any data and content by Administrators and Players including text, photos, sounds, music, videos, audiovisual combinations, interactive features, profile information and anything else entered or uploaded onto Gametize.

2. Personal Data

During creation of an account, Gametize collects your name and email address. This information is used for evaluating your interaction with the Gametize platform, such as log information and device information. In addition, we aggregate this data to compute engagement rates on the Gametize platform as a whole. As a Player, there may be Projects in which Administrators request for Personal Data. Administrators are required to adhere to our Privacy Policy and take the same measures in protecting Personal Data of their Players as Gametize would its users. That said, we always encourage due diligence before divulging Personal Data in any form, especially so on the Gametize platform where content is created independently by registered Administrators. Other than email services pertaining to the functionality of the Gametize platform, Gametize will not use your email address to send you marketing collaterals, promotions or corporate communications unless you have expressly agreed to receive such material.

Here is a thorough breakdown of the data points collected how we use this information:

Account creation information. Users provide information such as an email address and password to create an account. If you register via social media such as Facebook Connect, you explicitly grant Gametize access to any information you make public on your social media profile. Some of this collected user information may be publicly listed on Gametize. This information is used for account creation and authentication on the Gametize platform. Additionally, names and email addresses may be accessible and downloadable to Administrators of Projects you have joined.
Billing and other information. For Administrators who purchase a paid version of Gametize, our corporate affiliates and third-party payment processors may collect and store your billing address and credit card information on our behalf. Our payment gateway is powered by Stripe. This information is strictly used for billing purposes only.
Services usage information. This is information about how you are accessing and using Gametize, which may include administrative and support communications with us and information about the Projects, people, features, content, links you interact with, and third-party integrations you use (if any). This information is used for internal evaluation on platform interaction patterns, engagement rates and analytics, which is downloadable by Administrators of Projects you have joined. This may also be used by Gametize for research and development on the Gametize product. In the event third parties are involved, all data points are anonymized and aggregated to protect your privacy.
Contact information. With your permission, any contact information you choose to upload is collected when using the Gametize platform. This information is used only for communications between Gametize and you, and will not be used as a channel for marketing and corporate communications unless you have consented to being to receiving such communications. This information is accessible by Gametize and Administrators of Projects you have joined in which you provided this information.

We may collect information about the device you are using Gametize on, including what type of device it is, what operating system you are using, device settings, application IDs, unique device identifiers, and crash data.

This information may be shared with third parties to facilitate co-development or troubleshooting. In the event third parties are involved, all data points are anonymized and aggregated to protect your privacy.

WiFi and IP addresses received from your browser or device may be used to determine approximate location. This information is used to enable certain functionalities of the Gametize platform.This information is also used for internal purposes, such as establishing usage patterns, troubleshooting, interaction patterns and product development. This information may be shared with third-parties to facilitate co-development or troubleshooting. In the event third parties are involved, all data points are anonymized and aggregated to protect your privacy.
Services integrations. If, when using Gametize, you integrate with a third-party service, we will connect that service to ours. The third-party provider of the integration may share certain information about your account with Gametize. However, we do not receive or store your passwords for any of these third-party services.
Third-party data. Gametize may also receive information from affiliates in our corporate group, our partners, or others that we use to improve Gametize. This might be aggregate level information, such as which IP addresses go with which zip codes, or it might be more specific information, such as the performance of an online marketing or email campaign.
