Anonymous Information means information that does not directly or indirectly identify, and cannot reasonably be used to identify, an individual. When anonymous information is directly or indirectly associated with personal information, the resulting information is also treated as Personal Information.
Personal Information means any information about you, whether it is true or not, that can reasonably be used to identify you, or otherwise make you identifiable.

All payment details are handled directly by Apple or Google, in accordance with their privacy policies and security standards. For more information on how your payment information is processed and protected please refer to Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or Google Payments Privacy Notice.
Aggregated Information
We may use information we collect about you in an aggregated form so it cannot identify you to analyze how you interact with our products and services, to monitor and analyze usage and activity trends (including usage data), app performance and analytical and statistical purposes.
We may also receive information from a third-party (such as Apple, Google and Facebook) about your use of our services.
Information You Provide To Us Directly
This includes information collected when you visit our mobile app, website, register, respond to a survey, fill out a form, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available on our App. We collect information from you by email, live chat, Apple or Facebook, if you login through social sign in.
Information You Provide To Us Indirectly
This includes information through your social media account (profile picture), information about your device when you play, and we also collect information about how and when you play our games, use our services and visit our websites.

The following are examples of these types of technologies:
Analytics tools (such as Amplitude and AppsFlyer) are also used by us to collect information, including when you visit the App or use our applications or services on third-party sites or platforms.
We, and our service providers, use industry standard identifiers to provide an enhanced experience. These technologies allow us to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with the App. Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, device type, an estimate of your geographic location associated with your IP address, the location of your mobile device, the page served, the time, referring URLs and other information normally transmitted in HTTP requests.
This statistical data provides us with information about your use of the services, such as general engagement with a page, the type of content on that page and how long you stay on that page. Usage Data is generally non-identifying but if VGW associates it with you as a specific and identifiable person, VGW will treat it as Personal Information (including in relation to any unique identifiers).
