This Privacy Notice explains who we are, how we collect, share and use personal
information about you, and how you can exercise your privacy rights. The Services are also
governed by the Terms of Service.
We are The Global Paradise (“ TGP”). This Privacy Notice applies to personal
information that we collect through our games, mobile applications and other products
(“Games”), forums and websites we control, like at www.theglobalparadise.com and www.gamegearltd.com (“Website”) (collectively “Services”).

  1. WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES GLOBAL COLLECT?
    The personal information we may collect about you through the Services falls into the
    following general categories:
    1.1. Information that you provide voluntarily
    Certain parts of our Services may ask you to provide personal information voluntarily.
    For example, we may ask for certain information in order to register an account with us, to begin playing Games, to subscribe to marketing communications from us, and/or to submit enquiries to us, such as:
    ● your name, email address or other contact details
    ● any information you submit to our customer service team in the Game or via email
    The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to
    provide it, will be explained to you when we ask you to provide your personal information.
    1.2 Information we collect automatically
    When you use our Services, we may also collect certain information automatically from
    you and/or your device which may be considered personal information under applicable data
    protection laws, such as:
    ● Your Service communications (e.g. in-game chats and messages with other players)
    ● Data and analytics about your use of our Services (e.g. in-game play progress, levels, games
    played, session length, preferred settings, which in-game adverts you may have viewed, in-game
    preferences or just game preferences, which friends you connect with, the means by which you
    were referred to our Services)
    ● Your IP address and device identifiers such as your Advertising ID, Device ID numbers (for
    more see here “Advertising IDs and Device IDs”)
    ● Your device type and the operating system that you use
    ● General geographic location (e.g. country or city location) based on your IP address
    ● GPS location, with your consent
    “Advertising ID” means the Apple Identifier for Advertisers (“IDFA”) on Apple, and
    Google Advertising Identity (“GAID”). These are unique identifiers for mobile devices that
    advertisers use for interest-based advertising. They are consistent across all apps and thus allow
    cross-app tracking. On Apple, you can opt out by choosing the “limit ad tracking” option in the
    privacy settings. On Google Android, you can opt out by choosing the “Opt out of interest based ads.” Advertising IDs are non-permanent, non-personal identifiers uniquely associated with your device. Similar technologies include tracking pixels within ads. These technologies allow companies (including marketers and advertisers) to recognize your device when you use websites and applications. “Device identifier / information” means device type, device model, device manufacturer, device operating system and language, or other technical data like screen size, processor, or a combination of this data, available from a device for a developer to check the device’s compatibility with a particular application. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and/or similar technologies (such as ” software development kits, or “SDKs”).
    1.3 Information we obtain from third party sources
    (a) Information from social media platforms. You may choose to connect to our
    Services via your social media account. The exact information we receive from you will depend
    on your social media privacy settings, but it will typically include your basic public profile
    information, such as:
    ● your username
    ● profile picture
    ● age range
    ● gender
    ● your friends playing the same Game
    Typical uses include updating game progress on multiple devices you may own so that
    you can continue your progress using multiple devices.
    (b) Third party service providers. We may receive personal information about you from
    third-party sources. We may get your personal information, for example, when you installed our
    Game or when, prior to installation, you click on an advertisement for the Game (see “Third
    Parties” section below for further detail).
    (c) Advertising partners. From time to time, we may also receive personal information
    about you from other third-party sources. For example, if you clicked on an advertisement
    directing you to one of our Services (such as an ad for one of our Games in another publishers’
    game), we will be provided with information about which ad network and advertising campaign
    the install originated from (See also “Advertising” below).
    1.4 No special categories of information
    We do not request or intend to collect any “special categories of information” such as any
    information on health, race, religion, political opinions or philosophical beliefs, sexual
    preferences or orientation. Please, be cautious when sharing this information about yourself (or
    others) in our forums.

  3. ADVERTISING
    3.1 We may use advertising to fund our Services and to make our games available for free.
    We may show third-party advertising in our Games and also advertise our Services via third
    parties. We want to provide you with more detail about how we use information for advertising,
    both in our properties and in third-party properties. When you view ads in our games.
    3.2 To enable us to show in-game ads, we may send your advertising ID and IP address to
    advertisers (or ad networks) to enable them to find appropriate ads to serve to you in our Games and on third-party properties. You can control and limit our use of your advertising ID in your device settings. TGP does not control which specific ads are shown in our games (this is
    controlled by ad networks), but we may prohibit certain types of ads.
    3.3. Advertising IDs are used by ad networks for a number of purposes (please refer to the
    Privacy Notices of our advertising partners listed herein as “Third Parties”) including, for
    example, to:
    (a) limit the number of times you see the same ad
    (b) ensure they are dealing with humans with real devices and not automated “bots”
    (c) to serve you with advertisements likely to be relevant to you based on your
    advertising ID, your engagement with other brands and ads which is recorded using your
    advertising ID, and to use your general geographic area.
    (d) Other brands buy ad placements via an ad network or ad exchange to advertise their
    products in TGP Games. The ad network or ad exchange acts as intermediary between the other
    game companies and TGP. In order for an ad network to charge the company purchasing the ad, clicks from the ad and potential installs of other developers’ apps are tracked. Views, clicks and installs from ads are measured using the Advertising ID.
    (e) Ad networks track which games you have used to market you similar kind of games.
    Your IP address is typically used by advertisers to identify your general geographic
    location, for example, your country, state and, sometimes, your city).
    When you view TGP ads on third-party services
    3.4 TGP may also advertise its games on other apps by asking ad networks to place ads for
    audiences that will be interested in them (determined using Advertising IDs).
    3.5 Ad networks use Advertising IDs for this and other purposes (please refer to the Privacy
    Notices of our advertising partners listed as “Third Parties”) including, for example, to:
    (a) Measure ad effectiveness (looking at total views, clicks and installs generated by its
    advertising in other publishers’ games);
    (b) Inform players that have not played for a while about new content in the Game. TGP
    may give a list of these users in the form of Advertising IDs to an ad network. The ad network
    then shows these users ads about the new content.
    (c) Not display ads for a game a player is already playing. TGP may send a list of active
    players in the form of Advertising IDs to an ad network. The ad network then excludes these
    players from seeing the ad.
    (d) Market games to a group of potential players.
    3.6 You can opt out of interest-based advertising on mobile applications by changing the
    privacy settings of your device and selecting “limit ad tracking” (Apple iOS) or “opt out of
    interest-based ads” (Android).
  4. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TRACKING TECHNOLOGY IN WEBSITES
    The Services may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags, local shared
    objects, hardware-based device identifiers, flash cookies, operating system-based identifiers,
    clear GIFs and web beacons. Cookies: A “cookie” is a small file your browsers stores when told to do so by a website. Typically, websites place a number of different cookies on an end-user’s device. Some are “First-party” cookies,’ i.e. from the website itself, and others are “Third-party” cookies, meaning they belong to advertising and analytics entities or social networks.

  7. HOW DOES TGP KEEP MY PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE?
    We use appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the
    personal information that we collect about you and process. The measures we adopt are designed to provide a level of security appropriate for the degree of risk involved with processing your personal information. Specific measures include encrypting your personal information in transit and at rest.
  8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
    Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than
    the country of which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are
    different from the laws of your country.
  9. Specifically, our Game servers are currently located in multiple countries, and our business group members, third-party service providers and partners operate around the world.
    This means that when we collect your personal information we may process it in any of these
    countries. However, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place so that your personal
    information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice. This includes
    complying with the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers of
    personal information among companies in our business group and third-party service providers
    and partners, which require all members of our business group to protect the personal
    information they process from the EEA in accordance with European Union data protection law.
    It also includes the transfer of personal information to third-party service providers and partners
    that are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.
    The Standard Contractual Clauses can be provided on request. We have implemented
    similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers, and partners and further
    details can be provided upon request.
  10. DATA RETENTION
    We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate
    business need to do so. For example, to provide you with a Service you have requested, or to
    comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements. For example, we periodically
    de-identify unused Game accounts and regularly review and de-identify unnecessary personal
    information.
    When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information,
    we will either delete or de-identify it, or, if this is not possible – for example, because your
    personal information has been stored on a backup server – then we will securely store your
    personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
  11. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS
    You have the following data protection rights:

    (b) To object to the processing of your personal information (which is processed on the
    grounds of legitimate interests), ask us to restrict processing of your personal information
    or request portability of your personal information. Again, you may do so by opting out of
    personalized offers based on in-game behavior, or by contacting us using the information in
    the Contact section below.
    (c) To opt out of marketing communications we send you, at any time. You can

    processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your
    personal information conducted pursuant to lawful processing grounds other than consent. You
    may do so by contacting us using the details at Contact heading below.
    (e) You have the right to file a complaint with a data protection authority about our
    collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local
    data protection authority.
    You can control and limit the type of personal information we collect and process about
    you in a number of ways. For example, you can disconnect your social media account(s) from
