- Installation data, including the operating system that you are using to run our Services, the brand and model number of your CPU and GPU, and whether you have installed or uninstalled our products;
- Performance data, including the frame rate, CPU/GPU load of our products on your computer or other gameplay devices;
- User data. We collect very limited user data such as the country you located in, the amount of time you spend using our product, as well as any in-app purchases you have made (where applicable).
In addition, we, our service providers, and our third-party partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your activity overtime on the Services and other online services, including:
- Usage data, such as the date and time of your access, visit or use of the Services, pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, navigation paths between pages or screens, searches you conduct on our Site, and information about your activity on a page or screen.
- Device data, such as unique device identifier, media access control address, network information, hardware model, browser type, screen resolution, IP address as well as usage and traffic data and information about how the device interacts with the Services.
- Precise geolocation data, such as when you authorize our mobile application to access your location.
Some of our automatic collection is facilitated by:
- Cookies, which are text files that websites store on a visitor‘s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser for the purpose of tracking user activity and patterns, helping you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience.
- Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, are typically used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked, typically to compile statistics about usage of websites and the success of marketing campaigns. We may use web beacons to track your use of Site or to collect information about your interactions with our email messages, such as the links you click on and whether you open or forward a message, the date and time of these interactions, and the device you use to read emails.
Third-party platforms. When you choose to connect with a social media service or other third-party platforms when using the Services, including Facebook, Google, or Oculus, we may collect information about you from that platform, including any information that you choose to import into the Services. You may also be able to access posting and sharing tools on the Services that allow you to post information to a social media or third-party platform. By using these tools, you acknowledge that some account information may be transmitted from the applicable platform account to us; our treatment of that information is covered by this Privacy Policy. Additionally, when you use one of these tools, the social media or third-party platform may be collecting information about your online activity through its own tracking technologies, subject to its own privacy policy. We encourage you to read the privacy and other policies of any third-party platform you use in connection with the Services.

https://adssettings.google.com/, Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/about/ads.
• Ad industry tools. Opting out of interest-based ads from companies participating in the following industry opt-out programs.
• Network Advertising Initiative:
http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp • Digital Advertising Alliance: optout.aboutads.info, which lets you opt-out of interest-based ads on websites.
• AppChoices mobile app, available at https://www.youradchoices.com/appchoices, which lets you opt out of interest-based ads in mobile apps.
The opt-out preferences described above must be set on each device for which you want them to apply. Not all companies that serve interest-based ads participate in the ad industry opt-out programs described above, so even after opting out, you may still receive some cookies and interest-based ads from other companies. If you opt out of interest-based advertisements, you will still see advertisements online but they may be less relevant to you.

OTHER SITES AND SERVICES
Our Site and Services may contain links to or integrate with other websites and online services, or allow others to send you such links. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party. We do not control websites or other online services operated by third parties, and Metalcat Studio is not responsible or liable for any damage or loss related to your use of any such third-party website or online service. You should always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of a third-party website or online service before using it, whether directly or in connection with your use of the Site or Services.
SECURITY
We employ a number of technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect. However, no data transmission over the Internet or other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect information transmitted on or through the Site or Services, we cannot and do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit on or through the Site or Services, and you do so at your own risk.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We offer to our users a range of Services, some of which are primarily targeted at children, and others that are intended for users of all ages and their families. We are required under the Children Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), with limited exceptions, to obtain verifiable parental consent in order to collect, use, or disclose personal information from children.
Many of our Services are intended for general audiences and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If our Services request age information from your child and your child indicates that he/she is under 13 years old, the Services will block your child from providing personal information. However, please note that if your child indicates that he/she is under the age of 13, your child will not be blocked from using our Services.
For our Services that are primarily directed at children under the age of 13, we do not collect personal information, except in those instances under COPPA where personal information may be collected without verifiable parental consent. For example, if your child provides us feedback or contacts us (for support, for example), we will collect the data included in the communication. We will use this personal information to assist your child with his/her query or support request and then delete such information once we have fulfilled the child’s query or support request. We do not share your child’s personal information with third parties, other than as described in this Privacy Policy.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will delete such information from our records.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER
We are headquartered in the United States and may use service providers in other countries. Your personal information may be transferred to the United States or other locations where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.
PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES
From time to time, we may change this Privacy Policy. If we change this Privacy Policy, we will give you notice by posting the revised Privacy Policy on the Site and within our Services. Those changes will go into effect on the effective date shown in the revised Privacy Policy. In all cases, by continuing to use the Site or Services, you consent to the revised Privacy Policy.
