SERVICE SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Hosting and content delivery
MONOPOLY Poker is hosted by external companies providing web servers and web content delivery. Every time you make a request, for example by clicking on a link on our platform, the information allowing this request (e.g. device information and information on requested content) will be sent to the external servers. This data is used to show you the content you requested in a faster way. We process this data on the basis of our legitimate interest, to provide and improve our service and ensure its functionality.
Age gating and consent
When you visit MONOPOLY Poker for the first time, we will ask you to fill in your age. We use your age data to ensure that only adults play MONOPOLY Poker and that no personal data belonging to minors is processed except for those data that is strictly necessary to make the website work. Data about your exact age is not stored in this context.
Creation/administration of your account
In order to play MONOPOLY Poker, you have to create an account . We store your log-in data (your nickname, email address and password) to allow you to log in on different devices, based on the performance of a contract. If you choose to register using your e.g. Facebook, Google, Windows or enter our game from a third-party platform (e.g. Facebook, Steam or Google), we receive certain information about you from the respective third-party provider like e.g. your name, you profile picture, your email address, and a list of your friends that also play the game. This information will be stored in your MONOPOLY Poker account. If the third-party platform has an achievements system to measure and show you your achievements in the games you play, and only if you have provided your consent to the third-party platform provider, we will send event data (for example, that you reached a certain level in MONOPOLY Poker) to the third-party platform provider so that this information will also be stored in your profile on the third-party platform. If you choose to register using your Facebook account, we may receive certain information about you from the respective third-party provider like e.g. your name, you profile picture, your email address, and your friends list.

You can delete your MONOPOLY Poker account at any time, for example by submitting a deletion request to our support team using the contact feature within the game or by contacting our Data Protection Officer by email to [email protected].
Customer service
If you contact us for customer support using the contact feature, an external customer service provider will process the content of your request. In a first step, we will provide you with general information from our ”Frequently Asked Questions” feature (FAQ), based on the key words from your request. For example, if you have asked for information related to your account (e.g. on how to make changes in your account settings), we will suggest articles from our FAQ which contain account-related information (e.g. on why your account was blocked or on how to disconnect your MONOPOLY Poker account from Facebook). If the suggested articles from our FAQ do not contain the information you were looking for, we may ask you to provide your name and your email address in order to help you with your request.
This information will be processed together with your user ID (including segment), the last steps taken within the game, and device data (such as device model, battery status, free storage, device language, operating system version, carrier and platform). The request history will be stored in order to solve newer requests based on the information related to your previous request(s).

We process this data on the basis of the performance of a contract in order to provide you with our customer service.

We combine this information with campaign data (including the advertisement device ID, installs data, your country and language, the

Facebook’s analytics service combines your in-game data (such as the level you reached and the amount you spent within the game), the purchase segment, campaign data (creative views of and clicks on advertisements, advertisement Device ID, installs, your country and language, the campaign ID and your user ID), the session amount and session time, with demographic data (for example your age, gender, country or language and likes) that Facebook knows from your Facebook profile. Facebook Insights provides us with aggregated information about our users which help us to improve our game and to adapt our services and ads to our target audience.

Data management service
We create user segments and use these user segments for new user acquisition and remarketing purposes . The user segments are created based on your in-game behavior (such as your in-game purchases, your sharing activity, and the level you have reached within the game) and by determining the spending behavior for each segment. For this purpose, your Personal Data, including your in-game behavior, your country, game language, segmentation and the advertisement ID are collected and sent to a data management service provider.
New user acquisition, remarketing and campaign tracking
The following processes help us to find new users, remarket existing users and measure the effectiveness of our advertisements:
New user acquisition: In order to acquire new users, we create advertisements (banners/videos) for MONOPOLY Poker and provide our advertisements to third-party user acquisition companies which show our ads in their apps or on their websites. If you click on the banner/video shown to you in a third-party app or on a third-party website, you will be redirected to the app stores (Google, Steam or Apple) where you can install MONOPOLY Poker. The information that you have clicked/viewed the advertisement (campaign information) will be sent from the user acquisition companies to an attribution platform provider (Appsflyer) and will then be passed by Appsflyer to the app store. If you install MONOPOLY Poker, the campaign information will also be passed from the app store to us and will be processed to measure the effectiveness of our advertisements . When you start playing MONOPOLY Poker, we collect and share post install events (for example, the level you reached within the game and purchase segments) either through the Appsflyer SDK or directly with the user acquisition companies which helps them optimizing their services.
The described data processing activities help us to track and optimize our campaigns and to reward our user acquisition partners and are based on our legitimate interests.
Furthermore, we use Facebook’s ”Lookalike Audience” feature to find new users based on the user segments we have created for our user base. In order to allow Facebook to search for a ”lookalike audience”, we select certain segments give a list of these users' Facebook IDs and Advertisement IDs to Facebook. Facebook processes this information to check the Facebook profiles of the respective users for common characteristics of these users (for example, hobbies or the user’s location, using data available only to Facebook and which is not shared with us) and to find similar new users ('lookalikes') which are likely to be interested in our game. These similar users will be shown advertisements (banners/videos) for MONOPOLY Poker to encourage them to click the advertisements and install MONOPOLY Poker through the app-store.
Remarketing: We also provide our advertisements to third-party user acquisition companies to show advertisements for MONOPOLY Poker to existing users and to encourage them to come back to the game. For this purpose, if you are a registered user, we will share your user ID, your country and language with third-party user acquisition companies. Furthermore, we will share in-game data (for example, the level you reached within the game and purchase events and segments) either through the Appsflyer SDK or directly with the user acquisition companies to help them optimizing their campaigns.
Campaign validation and fraud prevention: In order to prevent fraud and analyze our campaigns we send campaign data we receive from our user acquisition partners in connection with the acquisition of new users (views, clicks and installs, campaign ID) together with analytics reports relating to the game usage to our internal user acquisition service.
This processing is based on our legitimate interest to optimize our marketing performance.
