About this Privacy Policy

This Globelaxy privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) applies to the personal data that we collect from you when you use our website https://apps.globelaxy.com (the “Website”) and our mobile applications named Kids Coloring Book Game by Globelaxy SIA (the “Apps”) (collectively, “Globelaxy”).

Our Privacy Policy tells you what personal data and non-personal data we collect from you, how we collect them, how we protect them, how we share them, how you can access and change them, and how you can limit our sharing of them. The Privacy Policy also explains certain legal rights that you have with respect to your personal data.

Definitions

'NON-PERSONAL DATA' is information that is in no way personally identifiable.
'PERSONAL DATA' means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'), such as the data subject's name, identification number, location data, or an online identifier. Personal data is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, personal data is broader in scope and covers more data than PII.
'GDPR' means the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679).
'CCPA' means the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018.

Information we collect and how we collect it

When you use Globelaxy, we may ask you to provide your personal data to us. For transparency purposes, we explain in detail what personal data we collect and have access to, the purposes for which we use them, and legal bases on which we rely when processing your personal data. We comply with data minimisation principles. This means that we collect only a minimal amount of personal data that is necessary for your use of Globelaxy. We use your personal data for limited, specified and legitimate purposes explicitly mentioned in this Privacy Policy. We do not re-purpose your personal data. This means that we do not use it for any purposes that are different from the purposes for which your personal data was provided. Below, you can find an overview of the types of personal data that we collect, the purposes for which we use it, and the legal bases on which we rely when processing it.

Personal data collected through the Apps

When you use the Apps, we collect your email address, name, and age. We use such data for the following purposes:

To validate your age;
To store your game progress;
To register and maintain your user account;
To allow you to play from multiple devices;
To send promotional emails (if you consent to them); and
To reply to your support emails, if you send us any.

We keep the data listed above until you stop using the Apps (e.g., uninstall the Apps).

In addition, we automatically collect certain information that is later used for re-engagement and re-attribution purposes. Please note that, although certain information (like your device ID) may be considered by certain laws personal data, such technical data does not allow us to identify you as an individual by any means and we do not intend to do so. The types of the technical information that we automatically collect through the Apps are mentioned below:

Timestamps telling us when you install or first launch the App;
Information about how you use the App;
Your device ID;
The URLs that you click on before accessing the App or later;
Information sent by self-reporting networks like Facebook, Snapchat, and Google Ads;
The ads that you click on or view; and
Your other online behaviour data.

We use the technical information listed above to analyse your use of the Apps, find out how you find the Apps, examine the reasons that encourage you to install or delete the Apps, and track your online behaviour. We keep such data as long as it is necessary for its purposes, but no longer than 1 year.

The legal bases that we rely on when collecting and using your personal data are “performing a contract with you,” “your consent” (for promotional emails, marketing and advertising), and “pursuing our legitimate business interests” (i.e., to ensure the security of the Apps and our compliance with the applicable laws, as well as to analyse and grow the Apps).

Analytics data

When you use the Apps downloaded from Google Play Store, we use our third-party analytics service provider Firebase (https://firebase.google.com) offered by Google, which automatically collects the following technical personal and non-personal data from you:

IP address;
Number of sessions;
Session duration;
Retention;
Events;
Install source; and
IDFA.

We use such data to:

Analyse the technical aspects of your use of the Apps;
Optimise the Apps for your needs;
Prevent fraud and abuse of the Apps;
Ensure the security of the Apps; and
Serve you relevant ads.

We keep such data as long as it is necessary for its purposes, but no longer than 1 year. The legal bases that we rely on when processing the above-mentioned data are “pursuing our legitimate business interests” (i.e., to analyse, grow, and protect KLA) and “your consent”.

Contact with us

When you contact us by email or by using the contact form available on the Website, we collect yourname, email address, and any information that you decide to provide us in your message. We use your personal data to respond to your enquiries and provide you with the requested information. The legal bases that we rely on when processing such personal data are “pursuing our legitimate business interests” (i.e., to grow and promote Globelaxy) and “your consent” (for optional personal data that you decide, at your sole discretion, to provide us). We keep such data until you stop communicating with us.

Newsletter

When you subscribe for a newsletter through the form available on the Website or the Apps, we collect your email address. We use your email address to deliver you the requested newsletters. The legal basis that we rely on when processing your email address is “your consent”. We keep such data until you unsubscribe from our newsletter.

Comments

When you leave a comment under one of our blog posts available on the Website, we collect your name, website, and any information that you decide to provide us with in your comment. We use such information to feature your comment and ensure the security of the Website. The legal basis on which we rely is “pursuing our legitimate business interests” (i.e., to maintain, grow and promote Globelaxy). We keep such data as long as your comment stays on the Website.

Sensitive data

We do not collect or have access to any special categories of personal data (“sensitive data”) from you, unless you decide, at your own discretion, to provide such data to us. Sensitive data refers to your health, religious and political beliefs, racial origins, membership of a professional or trade association, or sexual orientation.

Feedback

If you contact us, we may keep records of any questions, complaints, recommendations, or compliments made by you and the response. Where possible, we will de-identify your personal data (i.e., we will remove all personal data that is not necessary for keeping such records).

You can opt-out from receiving commercial communication at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

Sharing Information with Affiliates and Other Third Parties

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. We may give your personal data to third-party service providers whom we hire to provide services on our behalf (our data processors). These third-party service providers include:

Our hosting service provider Digital Ocean (https://vercel.com/) located in the United States;
Our analytics service provider Google Firebase (https://firebase.google.com) located in the United States;
Our independent contractors and consultants.

The disclosure of your personal data is limited to the situations when it is required for the following purposes:

Ensuring the proper operation of Globelaxy;
Delivering you the requested services;
Responding to your enquiries;
Pursuing our legitimate interests;
Enforcing our rights, preventing fraud, and security purposes;
Carrying out our contractual obligations;
Law enforcement purposes; or
If you provide your prior consent to such a disclosure.

Your non-personal data may be disclosed to third parties for any purpose as it does not identify you as a natural person. For example, we may share it with prospects or partners for business or research purposes, for improving Globelaxy, responding to lawful requests from public authorities or developing new products and services.

Legally Required Releases of Information

We may be legally required to disclose your personal data if such disclosure is (a) required by subpoena, law, or other legal process; (b) necessary to assist law enforcement officials or governmental enforcement agencies; (c) necessary to investigate violations of or otherwise enforce our terms and conditions; (d) necessary to protect us from legal action or claims from third parties, including you and/or other users; or (e) necessary to protect the legal rights, personal/real property, or personal safety of our company, users, employees, and affiliates.

Retaining and Destroying Your Personal Data

We retain information that we collect from you (including your personal data) only for as long as we need it for its intended purposes or other legal or business purposes (if we have a legal basis to keep it). Your information may be retained in electronic, paper, or a combination of both forms. When your information is no longer needed, we will securely destroy, delete, or erase it. For exact retention periods, please refer to the section “Information we collect and how we collect it” above. We retain non-personal data pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This may include storing non-personal data for the period of time needed for us to examine our activities, fulfill our contractual obligations, pursue our legitimate interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Protecting the Privacy Rights of Third Parties

If any postings you make on Globelaxy contain information about third parties, you agree to make sure that you have permission to include that information. While we are not legally liable for the actions of our users, we will remove any postings about which we are notified, if such postings violate the privacy rights of others.

Do Not Track Settings

Some web browsers have settings that enable you to request that we do not track your movement within Globelaxy. Globelaxy does not obey such settings when transmitted to and detected by Globelaxy. You can turn off tracking features and other security settings in your browser by referring to your browser's user manual.

Links to Other Websites

Globelaxy may contain links to other websites. These websites are not under our control and are not subject to our Privacy Policy. These websites will likely have their own privacy policies. We have no responsibility for these websites and we provide links to these websites solely for your convenience. You acknowledge that your use of and access to these websites are solely at your risk. It is your responsibility to check the privacy policies of these websites to see how they treat your personal data.

Protecting Children's Privacy

Parts of Globelaxy, such as the Apps, are designed for the use by children. We have limited the collection of personal data from children to the bare minimum. We do not collect personal data from children who are under the age to provide their personal data or who cannot provide their valid consent under the COPPA or GDPR. We realise that a child who is under the age to provide valid consent may try to access Globelaxy and provide consent where it is required (e.g., for our use of non-essential cookies). Therefore, we ask all users of the Apps to specify their age. We do not ask children under the age that requires parental consent (e.g., in the US – 13, in the EU – 16) to provide their personal data. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided his or her personal data without your consent, please contact us. Before we remove any information, we may ask for proof of identification to prevent malicious removal of information. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we will delete his or her information as soon as possible.Click Hereto see our children's privacy policy.

Our Security Policy

We have built Globelaxy using industry-standard security measures and authentication tools to protect the security of your personal data. We and the third parties who provide services to us also maintain technical and physical safeguards to protect your personal data. Our security measures include secured networks, SSL protocol, strong passwords, limited access to your personal data by our staff, and anonymisation of personal data (when possible).

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee prevention of loss or misuse of your personal data or secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature. We strongly urge you to protect any password you may have for Globelaxy and not share it with anyone.

Transferring Personal Data from the EEA

The personal data that we collect from you may be stored, processed, and transferred among any countries in which we or our data processors operate. The European Union has not found the United States and some other countries to have an adequate level of protection of personal data under Article 45 of the GDPR. We rely on derogations for specific situations as defined in Article 49 of the GDPR. In case it is necessary to make a transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will make sure that the country in which the recipient third party is located guarantees an adequate level of protection for your personal data or we conclude an agreement with the respective third party that ensures such protection (e.g., a data processing agreement based pre-approved standard contractual clauses).

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. We will post changes on the Website and the Apps so that you are always aware of what personal data we collect, use, and disclose. If we have your email address, we will send you a notice about the changes implemented by us.
