located at Russia, ("Media Telecom" or "we") is
dedicated to protecting the privacy rights of our online users ("users"

collected by Media Telecom through use of the Service. This Policy does not
apply to the practices of third parties that Media Telecom does not own or

Like many services, Media Telecom uses
server log files and automated data collection tools, such as cookies and
web beacons (collectively, "Data Collection Tools") when you
access or use our Service. We tie the information gathered by these means to
our customers' personal information. These Data Collection Tools
automatically track and collect certain technical information that your
computer or device, such as your IP addresses, browser types, browser
language, referring and exit pages, URLs, platform type, the number of
clicks, domain names, landing pages, clickstream data, pages viewed and the
order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, game

experience; (iii) manage advertising; (iv) allow you to more easily login to
our Service; (v) help make your use of our Service more efficient and more
valuable by providing you with a customized experience and recognizing you

We may also employ web beacons or other technology
for a variety of reasons such as: (i) allowing us to know if a certain page
was visited or whether an email was opened; and (ii) tracking pixels, which
allow us to advertise more efficiently by excluding our current users from
certain promotional messages or identifying the source of a new
installation.

features of the Service if you refuse/disable cookies.
Third party services
Please note that third party
partners/providers, such as analytics companies or companies delivering
advertisements in our games or on the Service, may also use cookies or other
technologies, and those practices and providers are subject to their own
policies.
We use mobile analytics software to allow us to better
understand the functionality of our mobile software on your device. This
software may record information such as how often you use the application,
the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance
data, and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the
information we store within the analytics software to any personal
information you submit within the mobile application.
Our Service may
contain third party tracking tools from our service providers. Such third
parties may use cookies, APIs, and SDKs in our services to enable them to
collect and analyze user information on our behalf. The third parties may
have access to information such as your device identifier, MAC address,
geo-location information, and IP address for the purpose of providing their
services under their respective privacy policies. This Policy does not cover
the use of tracking tools from third parties. We do not have access or
control over these third parties. The following are examples of the third
parties that we use for analytics:
Google Analytics
Media Telecom uses a tool called
"Google Analytics" to collect information about use of this
Service. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit
this Site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they
used prior to coming to this Site. Media Telecom uses the information it
gets from Google Analytics to understand Service usage and patterns and to
improve its Service. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned
to you on the date you visit a Service, rather than your name or other
identifying information. Media Telecom does not combine the information
collected through the use of Google Analytics with personal information.
Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to
identify you as a unique user the next time you visit a Service, the cookie
cannot be used by anyone but Google.
Google's ability to use and
share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our
Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (as amended for
government websites) and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google
Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this Site by disabling
cookies on your browser or mobile device. For more information about Google
Analytics, please see the Google Privacy Policy.
To prevent Google Analytics from using your data through a web browser, you
can get the Google
Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
AppMetrica Analytics
Media Telecom also uses AppMetrica to help understand usage of the Service. For more information about AppMetrica privacy practices, please see the Terms of Use of Yandex.MetriŃa service;
Amplitude Analytics
Media Telecom also uses Amplitude to help understand usage of the Service. For more information about Amplitude privacy practices, please see the Terms of Use of Amplitude service;
Sharing of information with third parties
Except as
set forth in this Policy, Media Telecom does not share your personal
information with any third parties. In the event we offer services or
promotions where your information is separately collected and used according
to the privacy policy of a third party, we will inform you of that at the
time of collection and you may elect not to participate in the service or
promotion.
We will share your information with other Media Telecom
users as necessary to provide our Services. For example, if you post a
profile picture, that picture may be available to all other users of our
Services.
We also may share your information with third parties as
required by legal or regulatory obligations; as requested by law enforcement
or other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud,
intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or
may expose you or us to legal liability; or as Media Telecom otherwise deems
necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security,
technical issues, or other threats to Media Telecom or others.
We may
share your information with third party companies that perform services on
our behalf, including payment processing, order fulfillment, data analysis,
marketing services, email campaigns, hosting services, and customer service.
While providing the services for us, these companies may access your
personal information, and are required to use it solely as directed by us
for the purpose of our requested service.
In conjunction with the
running of our games we may partner with a third party to assist us in
providing you with our Service. We will share the information you provide us
through your social network, such as (1) your first and last name; (2) your
profile picture or its URL; (3) your user identification number of the
pertinent social network, which is linked to publicly available information
such as name and profile picture; (4) the login email you provide to the
pertinent social network upon registration; and (5) game play information
with these third parties so they may facilitate the use of our Service as
well as contact you about other games which may be of interest to you,
service notifications and to solicit your feedback and input. If you do not
wish to have this information shared please do not use our Service. If you
wish to no longer have your personal information used by our partners you
may contact us at support@Media Telecomou.com and we will facilitate your
request to the partner.
We may disclose your information to another
entity in connection with, including during negotiations of, an acquisition
or merger, sale or transfer of a business unit or assets, bankruptcy
proceeding, or as part of any other similar business transfer.
We may
use and share with third party advertisers (and other third parties) certain
technical information and other non-personal information to show general
demographic and preference information among Media Telecom users. We may
also allow advertisers to collect technical information and other
non-personal information, which they may share with us, through the use of
tracking technologies like cookies and web beacons. The information
collected may be used to offer you targeted ad-selection and delivery in
order to personalize your user experience by increasing the likelihood that
advertisements for products and services you see will appeal to you, a
practice known as behavioral advertising, and to undertake web analytics
(i.e. to analyze traffic and other end user activity to improve your
experience). Please see the your rights and choices in relation to your
personal information section below for more information about opting out of
behavioral advertising.
Information about our users is an integral
part of our business. We share your personal information only as described
in this Policy.
Storage of your personal information
The personal information we collect, as described in this Policy, is being stored on servers in Russia and is accessible to our office in Russia. You expressly agree with your personal information being stored and processed in those countries.
Data retention
We will keep you information for as long as we need your data to allow you to use the Service, though generally no longer than 5 years.
Security
We have implemented commercially
reasonable technical, physical, managerial and organizational measures
designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from
unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot
guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those
measures or use, disclose, or alter your personal information for improper
purposes. Also please note that email and messaging systems are not
considered secure, so we discourage you from sending us personal information
through these mediums.
In the event that personal information has
been or is compromised as a result of a breach of security, Media Telecom
will promptly notify those persons whose personal information has been
compromised, in accordance with the notification procedures set forth in
this Policy, or as otherwise required by applicable law.
To protect
your privacy and security, we may take reasonable measures (such as
requiring a unique password) to verify your identity before permitting you
access to your account or the Service. You are responsible to maintain the
secrecy of your unique password and account information, and for controlling
access to your email communication or interaction through the Site or Media
Telecom's authorized social networking at all times.
Your rights and choices in relation to your personal information
Accessing, correcting, or deleting your personal
information
Media Telecom takes your privacy seriously and works in a
transparent way. In that sense, upon providing sufficient identification (to
protect others' privacy), you can request information from us about the
personal information we hold in relation to you and you can correct any
inaccurate data we hold.
Furthermore, you can change or delete any
personal information by changing the applicable information found in your
Media Telecom account. However, by deleting the entirety of this information
your account may become deactivated. In certain territories (including the
EU), you also have a legal right to ask for a restriction of processing, to
object to processing as well as the right to data portability. However,
these rights are subject to conditions and may not always be applicable.
You
have the right to withdraw your consent, on the basis of which we process
your personal information, at any time, by closing your account or otherwise
clearly indicating your withdrawal of consent. However, this does not affect
our lawful processing based on your consent before this withdrawal.
Marketing communications
We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to you. You may opt out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the e-mail. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If you opt-out of receiving emails about recommendations or other information we think may interest you, we may still send you e-mails about your account or any Service you have requested or received from us.
Push notifications
We may occasionally send you push notifications through our mobile applications to send you game updates, high scores and other service related notifications that may be of importance to you. You may at any time opt out from receiving these types of communications by turning them off at the device level through your settings.
Behavioral advertising
Users in the United States
may opt out of many third-party ad networks. For example, you may go to the
Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") Consumer Choice Page for
information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices
regarding having information used by DAA companies. You may also go to the
Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") Consumer Opt-Out Page
information about opting out of interest-based advertising and your choices
regarding having information used by NAI members. Additional information is
available on the DAA's website at www.aboutads.info or the NAI's
website at www.networkadvertising.org.
Users in the European Union
may go the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance ("EDAA")
Your Online Choices website and select their country to learn more about
interest-based advertising and how to opt out in their own country. For
example, users in France may go to the Controler ses cookieswebsite to opt
out of certain third-party ad networks' interest-based advertising and
find additional information at www.youronlinechoices.com/fr.
Opting
out from one or more companies listed on the DAA Consumer Choice Page, the
NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page, or through the various EDAA websites will opt you
out from those companies' delivery of interest-based content or ads to
you, but it does not mean you will no longer receive any advertising through
our Site or App or on other websites. You may continue to receive
advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are
viewing (i.e., contextually based ads). If your browser is configured to
reject cookies when you opt out on the DAA, NAI, and/or EDAA websites, your
opt out may not be effective. Please note that if you use multiple devices
you will have to opt out on each individual device.
Links to other websites or applications
Links from the Media Telecom Service to third party websites or applications are provided for your convenience. In addition, content in the Service may be hosted by other websites or applications. Any personal information you provide on the linked pages or applications is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party's privacy policy, not ours. These other websites and applications maintain their own policies regarding cookies and the collection and use of personal information. It is up to you to review those policies yourself.
Policy regarding children under the age of 13
The
Media Telecom is committed to protecting the privacy of children who use our
sites and applications. This Children's Online Privacy Policy explains
our information collection, disclosure, and parental consent practices with
respect to information provided by children under the age of 13 ("child"
or "children"), and uses terms that are defined in our general
PRIVACY AND COOKIE POLICY. This policy is in accordance with the U.S.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), and
outlines our practices in the United States and Latin America regarding
children's personal information. For more information about COPPA and
general tips about protecting children's online privacy, please visit
OnGuard Online. Most of Media Telecom's Services are for kids audience
and are directed to children under the age of 13. Through these Services,
Media Telecom does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information
from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to access
those Services.
Through other Services, however, Media Telecom may be
more likely to collect some personal information about children under 13.
For such Services, Media Telecom will request users' ages and, if a
user indicates that s/he is under 13, Media Telecom will only collect
personal information, such as persistent identifiers (e.g., IP address and
device information), necessary for internal operations of the Service. Media
Telecom will only use such information to support internal operations of the
Service and not for other purposes.
If you are under 13, please do
not attempt to register an account with any of the Services or send any
information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone
number, or email address. In the event that we learn that we have collected
personal information other than persistent identifiers used to support
internal operations of the Services, from a child under the age of 13, we
will delete that information as quickly as possible. We recommend that
minors over the age of 13 ask their parents or guardians for permission
before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.
1. THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM CHILDREN, HOW WE USE IT, AND HOW AND WHEN WE COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS
Media Telecom offers to its users a range of sites and applications, some of which are primarily targeted at children, and others that are intended for users of all ages and their families. Our sites and applications offer a variety of activities, including activities that may collect information from children. Below we summarize potential instances of collection and outline how and when we will provide parental notice and/or seek parental consent. In any instance that we collect personal information from a child, we will retain that information only so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the activity request or allow the child to continue to participate in the activity, and ensure the security of our users and our services, or as required by law. In the event we discover we have collected information from a child in a manner inconsistent with COPPA's requirements, we will either delete the information or immediately seek the parent's consent for that collection.
Registration
Children can, in many cases, register
with our sites and applications to view content, play games, participate in
contests, and engage in special features, among other things. During the
registration process, we may ask the child to provide certain information
for notification and security purposes, including a parent or guardian's
email address, the child's first name and gender, the child's
member or account username, and password. We also may ask for birth dates
from children to validate their ages. We h3ly advise children never to
provide any personal information in their usernames. Please note that
children can choose whether to share their information with us, but certain
features cannot function without it. As a result, children may not be able
to access certain features if required information has not been provided. We
will not require a child to provide more information than is reasonably
necessary in order to participate in an online activity.
About the
collection of parent email address: Consistent with the requirements of
COPPA, on any child-targeted site or application, or in any instance where
we ask for age and determine the user is age 12 or under, we will ask for a
parent or guardian email address before we collect any personal information
from the child. If you believe your child is participating in an activity
that collects personal information and you or another parent/guardian have
NOT received an email providing notice or seeking your consent, please feel
free to contact us at support@Media Telecomou.com. We will not use parent
emails provided for parental consent purposes to market to the parent,
unless the parent has expressly opted in to email marketing or has
separately participated in an activity that allows for such email contact.
Content Generated by a Child
Certain activities on our sites and applications allow children to create or manipulate content and save it with Media Telecom. Some of these activities do not require children to provide any personal information and therefore may not result in notice to the parent or require parental consent. If an activity potentially allows a child to insert personal information in their created content, we will either pre-screen the submission to delete any personal information, or we will seek verifiable parental consent by email for the collection. Examples of created content that may include personal information are stories or other open-text fields, and drawings that allow text or free-hand entry of information. If, in addition to collecting content that includes personal information, Media Telecom also plans to post the content publicly or share it with a third party for the third party's own use, we will obtain a higher level of parental consent.
About Verifiable Parental Consent:
Email Consent.
In the event Media Telecom wishes to collect personal information from a
child, COPPA requires that we first seek a parent or guardian's consent
by email. In the email we will explain what information we are collecting,
how we plan to use it, how the parent can provide consent, and how the
parent can revoke consent. If we do not receive parental consent within a
reasonable time, we will delete the parent contact information and any other
information collected from the child in connection with that
activity.
High-Level Consent. In the event Media Telecom collects
personal information from a child that will be posted publicly, we will seek
a higher level of consent than email consent. Such "high-level"
methods of consent include but are not limited to asking for a credit card
or other payment method for verification (with a nominal charge involved),
speaking to a trained customer service representative by telephone or video
chat, or requiring a signed consent form by mail, email attachment, or fax.
After providing high-level consent, a parent may have the opportunity to use
a pin or password in future communications as a way to confirm the parent's
identity.
Teacher consent in lieu of a parent. With regard to
school-based activities, COPPA allows teachers and school administrators to
act in the stead of parents to provide consent for the collection of
personal information from children. Schools should always notify parents
about these activities. For more information on parental rights with respect
to a child's educational record under the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act (FERPA), please visit the FERPA site.
Chat
Certain games and activities that are directed
to children allow users to communicate directly with other users by means of
a chat system. In most cases, these chat systems employ filters that are
intended to prevent the communication of both personal information and
age-inappropriate words and phrases. In addition to filters, we may employ
live moderation and/or encourage other users to flag inappropriate
communications. We h3ly encourage children who use these interactive
features on our sites and applications never to provide personal information
about themselves or any third party, and certainly never to attempt to
circumvent our filters or moderation. We also recommend that parents
carefully supervise their children when the children participate in online
activities.
Where Media Telecom employs a chat system that does not
filter all or nearly all personal information, we will first seek high-level
consent from the parent.
Contests and Sweepstakes
For contests and
sweepstakes, we typically require only the information necessary for a child
to participate, such as first name (to distinguish among family members) and
parent email address (to notify the parent where required by law). We only
contact the parent for more personalized information for prize-fulfillment
purposes when the child wins the contest or sweepstakes.
Of course,
some contests and sweepstakes ask the child to submit their own created
content along with the child's entry. In those instances, we may
require parental consent prior to submission.
Email Contact with a Child
On occasion, in order to
respond to a question or request from a child, Media Telecom may need to ask
for the child's online contact information, such as an email address.
Media Telecom will delete this information immediately after responding to
the question or request.
In connection with certain activities or
services, we may collect a child's online contact information, such as
an email address, in order to communicate with the child more than once. In
such instances we will retain the child's online contact information to
honor the request and for no other purpose such as marketing. One example
would be a newsletter that provides occasional updates about a site,
game/activity, television show, personality/character, or feature movie.
Whenever we collect a child's online contact information for ongoing
communications, we will simultaneously require a parent email address in
order to notify the parent about the collection and use of the child's
information, as well as to provide the parent an opportunity to prevent
further contact with the child. On some occasions a child may be engaged in
more than one ongoing communication, and a parent may be required to "opt-out"
of each communication individually.
Push Notifications
Push notifications are notifications on mobile and other devices that are typically associated with downloaded applications, and which can communicate to the device holder even when the application is not in use. We will require a child to provide a parent email address before the child can receive push notifications from our child-directed applications that collect a device identifier. We will then provide the parent with notice of our contact with the child and will provide the parent the opportunity to prevent further notifications. Finally, we will not associate the device identifier with other personal information without contacting the parent to get consent.
Geolocation Data
If a child-directed Media Telecom site or application collects geolocation information that is specific enough to equate to the collection of a street address, we will first seek parental consent via email.
Persistent Identifiers
When children interact with
us, certain information may automatically be collected, both to make our
sites and applications more interesting and useful to children and for
various purposes related to our business. Examples include the type of
computer operating system, the child's IP address or mobile device
identifier, the web browser, the frequency with which the child visits
various parts of our sites or applications, and information regarding the
online or mobile service provider. This information is collected using
technologies such as cookies, flash cookies, web beacons, and other unique
identifiers. This information may be collected by Media Telecom or by a
third party. This data is principally used for internal purposes only, in
order to:
provide children with access to features and activities on
our sites and applications
customize content and improve our sites and
applications
conduct research and analysis to address the performance of
our sites and applications
generate anonymous reporting for use by Media
Telecom
In the event we collect (or allow others to collect) such
information from children on our sites and applications for other purposes,
we will notify parents and obtain consent prior to such collection.
2. WHEN INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM CHILDREN IS AVAILABLE TO OTHERS
In addition to those rare instances where a child's
personal information is posted publicly (after receiving high-level parental
consent), we also may share or disclose personal information collected from
children in a limited number of instances, including the following:
We
may share information with our service providers if necessary for them to
perform a business, professional, or technology support function for us.
We
may disclose personal information if permitted or required by law, for
example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, we also may disclose personal information collected from
children (i) in response to a law enforcement or public agency's
(including schools or children services) request; (ii) if we believe
disclosure may prevent the instigation of a crime, facilitate an
investigation related to public safety or protect the safety of a child
using our sites or applications; (iii) to protect the security or integrity
of our sites, applications, and other technology, as well as the technology
of our service providers; or (iv) enable us to take precautions against
liability
3. PARENTAL CHOICES AND CONTROLS
At any time,
parents can refuse to permit us to collect further personal information from
their children in association with a particular account, and can request
that we delete from our records the personal information we have collected
in connection with that account. Please keep in mind that a request to
delete records may lead to a termination of an account, membership, or other
service.
Where a child has registered for a Media Telecom account, we
use one method to allow parents to access, change, or delete the personally
identifiable information that we have collected from their children: Parents
can contact us to request access to, change, or delete their child's
personal information by sending an email to us at info@mt.media A valid
request to delete personal information will be accommodated within a
reasonable time.
Changes to this policy
Media Telecom may amend this Policy from time to time. Use of information we collect now is subject to the Policy in effect at the time such information is used. If we make changes in the way we use personal information, we will notify you by posting an announcement on our Service or sending you an email. You are bound by any changes to the Policy when you use the Service after such changes have been first posted. If you object to any change, your sole recourse shall be to immediately terminate your account and cease using the Service.
