A. OVERVIEW OF PRIVACY
i. This statement of privacy is released by TECH 2MLD INFRA PRIVATE LIMITED, and when terms like "Company," "we," "us," or "our" are used in this document, they refer to the specific entity within TECH 2MLD INFRA PRIVATE LIMITED that is in charge of handling your personal data.
ii. We are dedicated to safeguarding your privacy, respecting your confidentiality, and upholding the trust of our clientele. The privacy policy (referred to as "Privacy Policy") delineates the processes of personal data collection, the reasons for such collection, and the measures we take to ensure its security. We are steadfast in our adherence to the requirements of global data privacy regulations, encompassing the General Data Protection Regulation ('GDPR'), the California Consumer Privacy Act ('CCPA'), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act ('VCDPA'), and the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), as well as any substantially similar provincial laws that may apply.
B. DATA COLLECTED
i. Personal Information encompasses any data related to you that reveals your identity, whether accurate or not, and can be identified directly or inferred from such data. If anonymous data is linked with personal information, the resulting data is also classified as Personal Information. Anonymous data refers to information that does not identify an individual and cannot be reasonably used for such identification. Aggregate information pertains to collective data about groups or types of customers without identifying any single customer.
ii. Our data collection encompasses two primary categories: Personal Information and anonymous information. We may also derive a third category, aggregate information, from the combination of personal and anonymous data.
iii. The types of information we gather include:
- Contact details such as your full name, email, home address, and contact numbers for mobile or other devices;
- Personal details like gender, age, age group, or your photograph; login credentials for your account, including username, password, and profile pictures;
- Communications exchanged in a bilateral or small group setting via email, mail, or other communication channels;
- Data received from third parties, such as platform providers, regarding your engagement with or interest in our services;
- Geographical data, including location information from a device interacting with our Websites or linked to your IP address, where legally permissible to process;
- Behavioral, technical, and device-related data concerning your interaction with our Game, such as the content you access, the timing and length of your visits, frequency of service use, initial discovery of our Game, your preferences, and interactions with the content provided, along with your device model, type, unique identifiers, operating system, browser, and IP address;
- Sensitive data such as biometric identifiers, precise location, identification documents, and financial data, collected to fulfill our legal and regulatory obligations.
C. DATA ACQUISITION THROUGH TECHNOLOGICAL MEANS
i. As you engage with our Game, we aim to ensure that your experience is both straightforward and beneficial. We, along with our partners, utilize widely recognized identifiers such as cookies and comparable technologies.
ii. Our Game may employ various technologies to enrich your experience. These are minor files that are installed on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other devices when you access a website. They enable us to log specific details each time you visit or interact with the Game. The data collected may include, though not limited to, the type of browser, operating system, device model, an approximation of your geographical location based on your IP address, the positioning of your mobile device, the page accessed, the time spent, referring URLs, and other standard data transmitted in HTTP requests. This aggregated data informs us about your interaction with our services, such as your overall engagement with a page, the nature of the content on that page, and the duration of your stay. While this usage data is typically non-identifying, if we link it to you as a distinct and identifiable individual, we will handle it as Personal Information.
iii. Here are some examples of such technologies:
- APIs. These enable different software systems to interact, simplifying the work of developers and enhancing the user experience.
- Cookies. These are small data files stored in your browser to remember your preferences. Most browsers provide options to block or remove cookies, but doing so may impair the functionality of the service.
- Event tagging. This mechanism allows us to monitor actions within the Game, such as app installations and purchases. Tracking these events helps us analyze data, assess the effectiveness of advertising, and create target audiences for ad campaigns.
- Mobile device identifiers. We might share the advertising ID associated with your mobile device or tablet, like Apple's IDFA or Google's Advertising ID, with advertisers for online advertising purposes. For guidance on using the advertising control options offered by major mobile operating systems, refer to the NAI’s Mobile Choices page provided here.
- Pixel tags/web beacons. A pixel tag, also known as a web beacon, is a snippet of code on the Game that gathers data on your activity on that page. The use of a pixel tag helps us document events such as a user visiting a specific page or clicking on a particular ad. We may also embed web beacons in emails to track whether messages have been opened, interacted with, or shared.
