This Privacy Policy describes how Zooyos ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, processes, and shares information about you.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to properties controlled by third parties, and those operators may collect and use your data following their own policies.
By downloading, accessing, playing our Games, or interacting with our Websites or other Services, you acknowledge the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, including Zooyos's and our advertising partners' use of your data for targeted advertising purposes. If you have concerns about providing information to us or its use as described in this Privacy Policy, you should not use our Games or other Services.

The game operates entirely offline, and no information is transmitted to us or third parties during gameplay.

We use cookies and similar technologies to analyze user behavior, administer our Website, track users' movements, and collect information about users to personalize and enhance your experience.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites send to your device to uniquely identify your browser or store information or settings. We use different types of cookies on our Website, including performance, functional, and targeting cookies. Please read our Cookie Policy for details on these types of cookies and how to opt-out.
Your opt-out only applies to the specific browser and device you use, so if you use multiple browsers or devices, you must opt-out on each one. Since opt-outs use cookies, if you delete your browser's saved cookies on a device, you will need to opt-out again on that browser and device.
Targeted Advertising
We work with third-party advertising companies to create advertisements for us. These companies may use cookies and other technologies to collect device identifiers, online activity information, commercial information, or inferences to deliver targeted advertisements. You can opt out of targeted advertising from companies we work with by changing preferences on your web browser. Even if you opt out, you may still see ads from us, but they won't be targeted based on your behavior.
We also work with third-party platforms, including social networks like Google and Facebook, to show or measure the effectiveness of our advertisements.
Analytics
We may use third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics, on our Website or social media pages to evaluate and analyze visitor activity.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the collected data to track and monitor site use and may share it with other Google services or use it to contextualize and personalize ads in its network.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information about your visit with Google Analytics.
For more information, visit the Google privacy terms.
We retain your personal information for as long as needed to provide you the Services or as long as we have a legitimate business reason to do so. When we no longer have an ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete it.
Zooyos operates globally, and our Services are international by nature. Your personal information may be stored anywhere in the world and may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws than your country.
When we transfer your personal information internationally, Zooyos takes steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information and to ensure it is treated securely, lawfully, and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Our Services may contain links to third-party sites that we do not operate. If you click on such links, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for any third-party sites or services' content, privacy policies, or practices.

In accordance with our Terms of Service, you must be over a certain age to use our Games and Services, depending on where you live.

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended ("CCPA") establishes specific rights for California residents to control their personal information and requires businesses to provide specific information to California residents regarding how their personal information is collected, used, and disclosed.
Zooyos provides this disclosure to California residents who use our Services to provide you the information required by the CCPA and to inform you of your rights under the CCPA. This disclosure supplements our Privacy Policy. We recommend reading our Privacy Policy in conjunction with this disclosure.
Your rights
Under the CCPA, California residents have the following rights regarding their personal information:
Right to Know: You have the right to know what personal information we collect about you, from which sources, for which purposes, and to whom we disclose it. You may request the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you. You may also request to know which categories of personal information we have sold, shared, or disclosed for a business purpose.
Right to Correct: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you.
Right to Delete: You have the right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions provided in the CCPA (including where we need the information to complete transactions, provide requested services, ensure security, enable internal uses, or comply with legal obligations). Following your deletion request, we may either erase or de-identify your personal information.
Right to Opt Out: You have the right to direct us not to sell or share your personal information. In practice, this means we will no longer share your identifiers and other information with our advertising partners for targeted advertising purposes.
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: You have the right to limit the use of your sensitive personal information when it is used to infer characteristics about you. We do not currently use sensitive personal information for this purpose and therefore do not offer an option to limit such use.
Right to No Retaliation: We will not discriminate against you if you choose to exercise any of your rights under the CCPA.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at legal[at]zooyos[dot]com. When you submit a request, we will verify your identity to protect your personal information.
