- General Information
This Privacy Policy describes how FindTheMoney P.S.A. (referred to as the
"Administrator" or "Organizer") collects, uses, and protects the personal data of
Users of the mobile game "FindTheMoney" (referred to as the "Game"). We respect
Users' privacy and make every effort to process personal data in accordance with
applicable regulations, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). This Policy
applies to all Game Users, regardless of the platform (Android/iOS). Please read its
content carefully. If a User does not accept this Privacy Policy, they should refrain
from using the Game.
- Data Controller and Contact
The Administrator of personal data collected in connection with the use of the Game
is:
FindTheMoney P.S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw, ul. Karolkowa 30, 01-
207 Warsaw, Poland, entered into the National Court Register (KRS number:
0001146437), NIP: 5273144841, REGON 540522588 (hereinafter: the
"Administrator" or "we").
You can contact us regarding personal data protection:
- By email: at rodo@findthemoney.win

(with the note "Personal Data").
The Administrator may appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) if required by law.
Information about any DPO and their contact details will be made available to Users
(e.g., on the website or in a Policy update). Unless otherwise stated, contact regarding
data matters is made directly with the Administrator.
- Scope of Data Collected
When you install and use the Game, we may collect the following categories of User
personal data:
3.1. Data Provided by the User:
-
Registration Data: If you choose to create an Account (e.g., by providing an
email address and password) or later register to withdraw a Prize, we collect
data such as: email address, password (stored in encrypted form), first and
last name, date of birth, country of residence, residential address (if
required for settlements), PESEL number or other identifier (if required by
law, e.g., for tax purposes with large winnings), and possibly identity
document details (if age/identity verification is needed).
-
Prize Payout Data: When initiating a payout, you provide data necessary for
the transfer: e.g., bank account number (IBAN), bank name, or phone
number linked to Revolut, and information related to taxation (e.g., tax
residency status, residency certificate).
-
Contact Data: If you contact us (e.g., via email, support form), you may
provide us with your contact details(email address, phone number) and
information contained in the correspondence.
-
Marketing Consents: Information about the consents you've given (e.g.,
consent to receive newsletters, consent to partner offers) – we store the fact
that consent was given and its scope, as well as any subsequent withdrawal.
-
Other Data Voluntarily Provided: e.g., data filled out in surveys, additional
contests organized in the game, profile information (if the game allows
creating a player profile with additional data, such as a nickname/avatar –
though a nickname or avatar doesn't have to be personal data unless it contains
your real name/surname).
-
Special Category Data: By design, we do not collect sensitive data (special
categories) from Users, such as racial origin, political views, health
information, etc. Please do not include such data, for example, in
correspondence with us or in your username.
3.2. Data Collected Automatically During Game Use:
- Technical Identifiers: A unique installation/User identifier assigned by our
system, mobile device identifier (e.g., Device ID, Android Advertising ID, or
Apple IDFA – depending on device privacy settings), IP address, identifiers of
cookies or similar technologies (if used in the application).
- Device and Connection Information: Device model and manufacturer,
operating system version, application version, device language, processor
model, screen resolution, mobile network name or internet provider, GPS
signal strength, battery status (e.g., for game purposes, to prevent AR mode
from activating on low battery), etc.
- Location Data: Your current geolocation data obtained from device sensors
(GPS, Wi-Fi network, BTS) – to the extent that you have granted the
application permission to access location. This data is used for game
mechanics (showing your position on the map, placing objects). We may
record your movement history in the game (e.g., visited zones, distance
traveled) for gameplay analysis and fraud detection (e.g., unnaturally fast
movements). However, we do not share historical routes or precise location
with third parties without a legal basis. You can turn off location access in your
device settings at any time, but this will prevent you from using the game in
physical mode (and potentially at all, if the game requires location).
- In-game Activity Data: Events generated by you in the application, such as:
logins and logouts, time spent in the game, items collected (keys, chests),
prizes opened, interactions with other players (e.g., using a referral code), in-
app purchases (what was bought, when, for how much), fuel/drone usage,
results of any mini-games or quizzes. We collect this data in our databases to
provide the service (e.g., save game progress) and for analytical purposes.
- Transactional Data (IAP purchases): In the case of in-app purchases, we
receive information from Google/Apple about the transaction (e.g., unique
transaction ID, product, amount, currency, store country, payment status).
However, we do not process financial data such as payment card numbers –
this is handled by the payment operator (Google/Apple). We may store a
purchase confirmation assigned to your User account to restore purchases or
handle complaints.
- Server Logs: Our servers automatically record technical logs of certain events
- these may include your IP address, access timestamps, API queries used,
error codes, etc. This data is used to monitor the correct operation of services
and system security.
3.3. Data from External Sources:
- External Account Login: If you connect your Game account with an external
service (e.g., logging in via Google/Facebook/Apple), we receive certain
information from your profile from that service provider with your consent –
usually your first name, last name, and email address associated with the
account (and possibly a profile picture or ID). The scope of data transferred
depends on your privacy settings with that provider and the consents you've
given when connecting accounts. We use this data solely to authenticate you in
the game and (in the case of email) as contact data if needed.
- Information from Other Players: As part of the Game's mechanics, other
players may provide certain information about you, e.g., confirm that they
were referred to the game by you (the referral code identifies the referrer's
account), or submit complaints about your inappropriate behavior in
communication. We also process such data (e.g., the fact that a given User was
indicated as inviting a friend – in order to award them a bonus).
- Analytical Data Providers: We may use analytical tools (e.g., Google
Analytics for Firebase, Unity Analytics, etc.) that collect data about your
interactions with the application. This data is collected anonymously or
pseudonymously (e.g., advertising identifier) and is used to analyze aggregate
trends (e.g., number of daily active players, navigation paths within the
application). Details regarding the tools used are provided later in this Policy
(if applicable).
- Purposes of Data Processing and Legal Bases
User personal data is processed for the following purposes and on the following legal
bases:
4.1. Providing Game Services (Performance of the Contract with the User):
- Account and Gameplay Management: To enable the User to use the Game
in accordance with the Regulations – i.e., logging in, participating in
gameplay, saving game state, awarding prizes, enabling in-app purchases, etc.
- we process technical data (identifiers, logs) and game activity data.
- In-Service Communication: Sending push notifications or in-game messages
related to the service's operation (e.g., information about a chest appearing
nearby, a message about the need to update the application, a message from the
game team regarding changes). These actions are necessary to fulfill our
contract – providing the application's functionalities.
- User Support: If the User reports a problem with the game, a complaint, or a
request for help, we process their contact data and the content of the
submission to resolve the issue.
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR – necessity for the performance of a
contract (the Regulations) or for taking steps at the User's request prior to
entering into a contract. Using the Game constitutes entering into a contract for
the provision of electronic services in accordance with the Regulations.
4.2. Awarding and Settling Prizes (Performance of Contract and Legal
Obligation):
- Prize Eligibility Verification: When requesting a Prize payout, we process the
User's identification data (first name, last name, age) to confirm that they
meet the conditions (legal age, entitlement to the prize). We may also verify
whether the prize was obtained in a manner contrary to the regulations
(analysis of game data – as part of the contractual obligation to ensure fair
play).
- Payout Execution: We use payment data (account number, Revolut) to make
the prize transfer and address datato issue accounting documents (e.g., prize
release proof).
- Tax Deduction and Fiscal Reporting: In the event of a taxable win – we use
User data to remit an advance payment/lump-sum tax (e.g., tax identifier,
address for PIT-8AR (a Polish tax form for lump-sum income tax)) and fulfill
obligations to the tax office.
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (performance of the contract –
awarding the prize provided for in the regulations is part of the contract with
the User); and Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR (fulfillment of a legal obligation
incumbent on the Administrator – e.g., tax regulations, the Gambling Act if
applicable, or other regulations imposing the obligation to record prizes issued
and collect tax).
4.3. Enabling In-App Purchases (Performance of Contract):
- Transaction Handling and Digital Content Delivery: We process
information about your in-app purchases(transaction ID, purchased item,
User account) to assign the purchased Virtual Items to your account and make
them available in the game.
- Transaction History: We maintain a record of purchases linked to your User
Account (which is necessary, for example, to restore purchased items after
reinstalling the game or to resolve any complaints regarding missing items).
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR – performance of the contract
(delivering ordered digital services in exchange for a fee is the fulfillment of
the contract between the User and us, concluded by accepting the purchase in
the Store).
4.4. Fraud Detection and Security (Legitimate Interest of the Administrator):
- Anti-Cheat Monitoring: We analyze technical data and gameplay
data (e.g., movement speed, simultaneous logins from different cities, attempts
to modify the application detected by security mechanisms) to identify
violations of the Regulations, abuses, or hacks into our systems.
- Financial Abuse Prevention: Before paying out larger amounts, we may
verify the User's account history and their activities for suspicious patterns
(e.g., money laundering through the game is unlikely, but mass account
creation and generation of fictitious prizes – we try to detect such things).
- System Security and Debugging: We use data in server logs to detect
application errors, unauthorized access attempts, DDoS attacks, etc. This may
include automatically blocking specific IP addresses or devices that violate
system integrity.
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR – the legitimate interest of the
Administrator in ensuring fair gameplay, protecting its business model from
fraud, and ensuring the IT security of the service. These actions also benefit all
Users, as they maintain the Game in a balanced and secure manner.
4.5. Direct Marketing of Own Products/Services (Consent or Legitimate
Interest):
- Newsletter, Emails, and Marketing Notifications: With your consent
(expressed by checking the appropriate option), we use your contact
data (email address, possibly phone number for SMS or consent for push
notifications) to send commercial information regarding the Game and other
products and services of FindTheMoney P.S.A. (e.g., new functionalities,
promotions for players, invitations to test other applications).
- Offer Personalization: We may use data about your activity in the
game (e.g., engagement level, favorite mode, purchases made) to tailor the
content of marketing communications to your potential interests (profiling for
marketing purposes). For example, a User who frequently uses drone mode
may receive a promotional offer for Fuel packs. However, such profiling is
only done with consent (resulting from marketing consent – also including
consent for profiling for such purposes). Lack of consent means that the User
will not be subject to such profiling and will not receive personalized offers,
only general communications (or none at all).
- Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR – your voluntary consent to the
processing of data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, own
marketing to existing users can be based on legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)
of the GDPR, so-called soft opt-in), however, in our case, due to the lack of a
prior business relationship before game registration, we still ask for explicit
consent. The User can withdraw marketing consent at any time – see point 8.
4.6. Marketing of External Partners (Consent):
If you provide separate consent to receive marketing information from the
Administrator's business partners, your contact data may be used to send such
information or shared with a selected partner (e.g., game prize sponsor) for a one-time
offer. For example, we may send an email on behalf of a game tournament sponsor,
advertising their services, only if you have consented to it. Without consent, such
communications will not occur.
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR – User consent. Lack of consent for
external partners does not affect other aspects of the game and does not prevent
you from receiving information from us (if you have consented to our
marketing). This consent can be withdrawn at any time.
4.7. Product Analysis and Development (Legitimate Interest):
- Game Usage Statistics: We process aggregate and anonymized (or
pseudonymized) data about how Users use the application to better understand
which features are popular, where difficulties occur, how the game community
develops, etc. For example, we measure the number of daily active Users,
retention (how many people return to the game), typical in-game routes, the
percentage of Users who made a purchase, etc. This information helps us
improve the Game, adjust gameplay, and plan new features.
- Tests and Improvements: We use data on application errors and
crashes (crash reports) to diagnose problems and fix them in subsequent
updates. These may be reports generated by systems like Firebase Crashlytics
containing, for example, phone model, OS version, error stack trace, but
generally without personal data.
- Market Research (Anonymous): In some cases, we may ask users to
voluntarily fill out a survey regarding game satisfaction or preferences (e.g.,
for a small in-game reward). Survey data is then analyzed in aggregate. If the
survey collects contact or personal data, we treat it according to the purpose
(e.g., if it's a contest – data for a prize).
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR – the legitimate interest of the
Administrator in improving its products and services by understanding User
needs and the effectiveness of offered features. Whenever possible, we use
anonymized or at least aggregated data for analysis that does not identify
specific individuals.
4.8. Fulfillment of Legal Obligations (Legal Obligation):
- Accounting and Tax Obligations: We store documentation related to
transactions (IAP purchases) and awarded Prizes for the required period (e.g.,
5 tax years) and provide it to tax authorities if requested. This may include
personal data of winners of larger Prizes for tax recording purposes.
- Compliance with Game/Contest Regulations: If state authorities (e.g.,
Ministry of Finance, court) request information regarding promotions and
prizes organized by us, we must provide it based on law.
- Legal Summons and Proceedings: In the event of a legally justified request
from law enforcement authorities or a court (e.g., an order to secure data), we
are obliged to provide specific data from the system (e.g., a given User's login
history).
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR – fulfillment of a legal obligation
incumbent on the Administrator.
4.9. Establishment, Exercise, or Defense of Claims (Legitimate Interest):
In the event of a dispute with the User or other legal conflict, we may process personal
data to the extent necessary to determine the circumstances of the case, pursue our
claims (e.g., against fraudsters), or defend against claims (e.g., if the User brings a
claim against us).
Legal Basis: Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR – our legitimate interest in protecting
our rights, ensuring the possibility of defense, and clarifying any disputes.
- Sharing Data with Third Parties
We respect User privacy, which is why we do not sell or rent their personal data to
third parties. Data may only be shared with third parties under the limited
circumstances described below:
5.1. Processors (Service Providers):
We use external companies that assist us in providing services and may process
personal data solely on our instructions and on our behalf (based on a data processing
agreement). Such entities include:
- Hosting and server infrastructure providers: storing the database and game
servers (e.g., a cloud server provider). They may potentially have access to
data, but they use it only for maintaining and managing the infrastructure.
- Analytical service providers and development tools: e.g., Google Firebase
(Analytics, Crashlytics), which collects aggregated statistics and error reports
on our behalf; Unity Analytics; etc. Personal data here is generally
pseudonymized (e.g., device identifier).
- Push notification and email providers: e.g., an email sending service (if we
use one) that processes email addresses and message content for newsletter
distribution; push notification servers (Firebase Cloud Messaging/Apple Push
Notification) – although they generally only receive a device token and
message content, without other data.
- Technical payment partners: Google and Apple in the scope of confirming
in-app transactions (they receive transaction data and account pseudonym, but
they, as controllers, process e.g., credit card data – we do not receive this). For
payouts: banks or payment operators through which we make transfers – e.g.,
our bank will receive the recipient's data and the transfer amount. We do not
have a typical processing agreement with these entities (they are separate
controllers, e.g., a bank), but the data transfer results from the necessity to
perform transactions at the User's request.
- Other subcontractors: e.g., accounting firms settling taxes on prizes, law
firms handling our cases (they may have access to documentation containing
personal data in case of a dispute), IT companies servicing the application, etc.
Each such entity only has access to the data necessary to perform its service
and is obligated to maintain confidentiality.
5.2. Public Authorities:
We may disclose certain data if we are legally obligated to provide it to public
authorities, such as:
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, or other government institutions – upon
their legally justified request (e.g., as part of criminal or administrative
proceedings).
- Tax authorities – to the extent required by tax regulations (e.g., providing a list
of promotional lottery winners, if the game were considered such a lottery, or
presenting accounting documents during an audit).
In such situations, we verify the legal basis of the request and provide only the
required data.
5.3. Marketing Partners (with consent):
As mentioned, if the User gives separate consent, we may provide their contact
details (e.g., email address) to our commercial partner for the purpose of sending them
a one-time marketing message or adding them to the partner's mailing list. For
example, if company X is the sponsor of a selected prize pool and the User agrees to
receive offers from them, we may provide their email address to company X, limiting
the use of this data only to the scope covered by the consent (e.g., sending a
newsletter). The partner then becomes a separate controller of this data and is
responsible for processing it in accordance with the law – we, in turn, ensure that such
a company is reliable and we enter into an agreement with them guaranteeing one-time
or limited use of the data in accordance with the purpose. Lack of consent means no
such sharing.
5.4. Social Media Connections:
The Game may offer integration with social media (e.g., a function to share results on
Facebook, login via Google/Facebook). If the User uses these options, certain data
may be shared with these services – e.g., information that they are playing our game,
their achievements (if they decide to share them), a list of playing friends (if the
friends feature is implemented). Such sharing occurs with the User's consent and
action (e.g., clicking "share on Facebook") and is subject to the privacy policies of
those services.
5.5. Change of Ownership or Restructuring:
In the event that FindTheMoney P.S.A. undergoes a transformation process, such as a
merger, acquisition by another entity, sale of the business or its part related to the
Game – User data may become part of the transferred assets. The new owner will be
able to continue using the data for purposes identical to those described in this Policy
(or purposes for which the User has separately consented), of course, in compliance
with all applicable regulations. In such an event, we will inform Users about the
change of data controller, if it occurs.
5.6. Public Visibility of Certain Data:
We point out that some information elements may be visible to other players within
the game itself, which can be considered limited data sharing: for example, if the User
chooses a player nickname, it may be visible in the ranking; if they write a message in
the game chat – others in the game will see it (along with their nickname). We
recommend not using personal data as a nickname (e.g., full name and surname) or
providing contact details in the chat, as this information becomes available to the
community and the Administrator does not have full control over it (although we
strive to moderate and remove personal data appearing publicly to protect User
privacy).
- Transfer of Data to Third Countries
As a rule, we strive to process Users' personal data within the territory of the European
Economic Area (EEA). Nevertheless, some external services we use may involve
transferring data outside the EEA, for example:
- Google Firebase and other Google services: Google may store data
(analytics, error logs) on servers located outside the EEA (e.g., in the USA).
However, Google participates in the EU-US Data Privacy
Framework(successor to the Privacy Shield) or uses standard contractual
clauses approved by the European Commission, which ensures an adequate
level of data protection comparable to the EU.
- Apple (App Store, iCloud): Apple, Inc. is headquartered in the USA,
although European users' iCloud data is usually stored in Europe. In case of
transfer to the USA, Apple is also covered by an appropriate GDPR
compliance mechanism (e.g., standard contractual clauses).
- Servers and cloud services: If we use AWS (Amazon Web Services) or
Azure, these companies have a global infrastructure. We choose data centers in
the EU whenever possible. However, if data is transferred outside the EEA for
backup or global support, it is done based on compliance mechanisms
(Amazon and Microsoft are also covered by standard clauses and/or adequacy
decisions).
- Payment partners: For example, Revolut is a company headquartered in the
UK (outside the EEA, but the UK has the status of a country ensuring an
adequate level of personal data protection under the European Commission's
decision of 28.06.2021). If other fintechs from outside the EEA are used, we
will ensure they apply appropriate safeguards.
- Other entities: Any potential transfer, e.g., to sponsors in countries outside the
EEA (if the User consents), will only occur after ensuring appropriate
mechanisms (e.g., a US sponsor will sign standard contractual clauses before
receiving the User's email).
In every case of data transfer to a third country (outside the EEA), we ensure that one
of the conditions from Chapter V of the GDPR is met: either a decision stating an
adequate level of protection, or standard contractual clauses, possibly other permitted
instruments (codes of conduct, binding corporate rules). In the absence of these, we
will ask for the User's explicit consent or such a transfer will be necessary for the
performance of the contract (e.g., international payment). The User has the right to
obtain a copy of the safeguards applied during the transfer – please contact us for this
purpose (point 2).
- Data Retention Period
We will store Users' personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes
outlined in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by
law. Below are the main principles regarding data retention periods:
- Account and Profile Data: We store data associated with your User Account
(email address, nickname, game data) for the entire period the account is
active. After your account is deleted or after a prolonged period of
inactivity [e.g., 2 years], data may be deleted or anonymized, unless we need
to retain it for other reasons (e.g., accounting). Typically, if there's no login for
2 years, we consider the account inactive and may delete it (after prior email
notification, if possible).
- In-App Transaction Data: Information about IAP purchases may be stored
for the duration of the account's existence (to allow purchase restoration).
Financial documentation of these transactions (reports from Google/Apple) is
stored separately in accounting for the required 5 years (in accordance with tax
regulations).
- Prize Payout Data: Personal data related to payouts (e.g., first name, last
name, address, tax ID, proof of payout) must be stored for the period required
by tax and accounting law – in Poland, generally 5 years from the end of the
year in which the tax transaction occurred (e.g., payout in 2025 – data until the
end of 2030). After this period, documents containing the data will be
destroyed or anonymized.
- Anti-Fraud Register Data: Information about bans and regulation violations
(e.g., that a specific device was banned for cheating) may be retained
indefinitely in an internal database (for the purpose of preventing future
violations). However, the attribution of this information to the personal data of
a specific person (if, for example, they provided an email) will disappear with
the deletion of their personal data from the account.
- Technical Logs: Server logs containing IP and system events are usually
stored for a period of up to [e.g., 30-90 days], unless they contain information
needed for further investigation of abuses – in which case they may be kept
until the case is closed.
- Marketing Data:
o If you have consented to marketing communication, we will process
your contact data for this purpose until you withdraw your consent.
After withdrawal of consent, we will not send further messages – but
information that a given email address has unsubscribed may be
retained so as not to re-add it to the list (blocking list).
o Data transferred to a partner based on consent – the partner will store it
according to their policy; we will delete our copy after transfer (unless
we need proof of consent transfer).
- Correspondence and Submissions: Emails and support submissions are
stored as long as necessary to handle the matter, and after it's closed, they are
archived for up to 2 years in case of reopening the matter or their usefulness
for future similar issues.
- Google/Facebook Login Data: If you connect your account with
Google/Facebook, we do not store, for example, access tokens longer than
necessary for session authorization. We store the account identifier in that
service to enable subsequent logins – we delete it when you disconnect or
delete your account.
- Evidence in Disputes: In case of an ongoing dispute, we may retain all
relevant data until the final resolution of the case and the expiration of claims
(e.g., until the statute of limitations expires or a judgment is enforced).
After the appropriate periods, the data will be securely deleted or permanently
anonymized (deprived of characteristics allowing identification). In the case of
anonymization, we may still use aggregated, non-identifying statistics (e.g., total
number of payouts made in 2023-2025, etc.).
- User Rights Regarding Personal Data
In accordance with the GDPR, Users have the following rights related to the
processing of their personal data by the Administrator:
- Right of access to data (Art. 15 GDPR): You have the right to obtain
confirmation as to whether we are processing your personal data, and if so, to
access that data and receive information including the purposes, categories of
data, recipients, planned retention period, your rights, data sources (if not from
the data subject), and any automated decision-making. You can request a copy
of your personal data (the first copy is free, subsequent copies may incur an
administrative fee).
- Right to rectification of data (Art. 16 GDPR): If you notice that your data
we process is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request its
correction or completion. In many cases, you can correct profile data yourself
through account settings (e.g., change email address); otherwise, we will
correct it at your request.
- Right to erasure of data – "right to be forgotten" (Art. 17 GDPR): You
have the right to request the erasure of your personal data, especially when: (a)
the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, (b)
you have withdrawn consent for processing and there is no other legal basis,
(c) you successfully object to processing (see below), (d) the data has been
unlawfully processed, or (e) it must be erased to comply with a legal
obligation. Please remember, however, that we may not always be able to
immediately erase all your data – for instance, there may be a legal obligation
to continue storing it (data concerning paid-out prizes – for tax purposes) or
another overriding basis (e.g., legal interest in defending against claims). In
such a situation, we will inform you about the extent to which we cannot fulfill
the request and why. We also point out that data deletion usually
means account deletion and loss of access to the Game – as stated in the
Regulations. If you still have unpaid Prizes, we will not be able to issue them
after data deletion, as we will lose the ability to identify and contact you.
- Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You can request that we
restrict the processing of your data (meaning we only store it, possibly
performing minimal operations with your consent or to protect claims), if: (a)
you contest the accuracy of the data – for a period allowing us to verify it; (b)
the processing is unlawful, but you object to erasure and instead request
restriction; (c) we no longer need the data, but you need it for the
establishment, exercise, or defense of claims; or (d) you have objected to
processing – pending verification whether our legitimate grounds override your
objection. When processing is restricted, we will only be able to process this
data (apart from storing it) with your consent or for the establishment/exercise
of claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or
for reasons of important public interest. We will inform you before lifting such
restriction.
- Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): To the extent that we process your
data based on consent or a contract (Art. 6(1)(a) or (b) GDPR) and by
automated means – you have the right to receive the personal data you have
provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format
(e.g., CSV, JSON). You can also request that we transmit this data directly to
another controller, where technically feasible. This right does not apply to data
processed based on other grounds (e.g., legitimate interest) or data that we
have created based on your activities (e.g., internal analyses).
- Right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR): You have the right to object
at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing
of your data which we base on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) –
e.g., profiling for anti-cheat or analytical purposes. Upon receiving an
objection, we will consider whether there are compelling legitimate grounds
for the continued processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms,
or whether the data is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of
claims. If not, we will cease such processing. If the objection concerns
processing for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at
any time, and we will immediately cease such processing (there is no
"particular situation" requirement here – marketing is always your choice).
You can object to marketing, for example, by clicking the unsubscribe link in
the footer of a received message or by changing your account settings.
- Right to withdraw consent: If any of your data is processed based on your
consent (e.g., marketing consent, consent to share with a partner, consent for
background location data if required), you have the right to withdraw
such consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness
of processing carried out before its withdrawal (meaning previously sent
emails or location processing until withdrawal were legal). After withdrawal,
we will cease processing data to the extent covered by that consent. Marketing
consent can be withdrawn as above (unsubscribe, settings), location consent –
by changing device settings, other consents – by contacting us.
- Right not to be subject to automated decision-making (Art. 22 GDPR): As
a rule, we do not make decisions about Users based solely on automated
processing that produce legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly
affect them. Certain Game functions (e.g., automatic account suspension upon
detection of irregularities) may appear to be an automatic decision – however,
final decisions on imposing, for example, a permanent ban, are reviewed by
personnel. If you believe that a fully automated decision has been made in your
case without human intervention and you disagree with it, you have the right to
appeal it and request reconsideration with human involvement.
To exercise your rights, please contact us (contact details in point 2). We will fulfill
your requests as soon as possible, no later than within one month of receipt (in
complex cases, this period may be extended to 2 months, of which we will inform
you). Please note that before fulfilling certain requests, we will need to properly verify
your identity (to ensure that the person making the request is who they claim to be
and has the right to access that data). Verification may involve, for example, logging
into your account and sending a message from the application, or providing us with
certain reference information.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates legal provisions, you
have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Poland, the
competent authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office
(UODO), address: ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warsaw. You can also report the matter to the
authority in the EU country where you live or work, if different from Poland.
- Data Security
We make every effort to ensure an appropriate level of security for your data. To this
end, we have implemented the following measures and practices:
- Technical measures: We have applied security measures such as encryption
of communication between the application and the server (HTTPS/TLS
protocols), encryption of sensitive data in the database (e.g., passwords
stored using strong bcrypt hash functions), firewalls and intrusion detection
systems protecting our servers, regular software updates and vulnerability
verifications. Data stored on your device (e.g., login token) is secured by
operating system mechanisms (application sandbox).
- Organizational measures: Only authorized employees/collaborators who
need access to perform their duties have access to Users' personal data
(the "need-to-know" principle). These individuals are obligated to maintain
confidentiality. We maintain access logs to systems containing data to monitor
any unauthorized attempts. We regularly train our team on data protection and
security.
- Data minimization: We collect only the data that we genuinely need for the
stated purposes. Whenever possible, we use pseudonymization or
anonymization (e.g., for statistical analyses, we use aggregated data, not full
data of specific individuals).
- Backups: We perform encrypted database backups to be able to restore data
in case of failure or error (this is also a security element – preventing data
loss). Access to backups is restricted, and they are stored securely.
- Risk assessment: We continuously assess data threats (e.g., the possibility of
an application attack) and adjust security measures. We have incident
response procedures – in the event of a personal data breach that could result
in a risk to Users' rights, we will notify Users and the supervisory authority
accordingly, in accordance with Articles 33-34 of the GDPR.
- User-side security: Remember that you also play a role in protecting your
data. Ensure the security of your device: use a screen lock, do not share it
with strangers, and keep your software updated. Do not publicly share your
personal data within the game (e.g., in chat). If you use a login and
password, keep your password confidential and do not use the same
password as for other services. We will never ask you for your password in a
message; be wary of phishing attempts impersonating us. If you suspect that an
unauthorized person has gained access to your account, notify us immediately.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies
The mobile game may locally use certain technical mechanisms similar to cookies
(e.g., storing a session token in the device's memory). However, this is not a website,
so traditional browser cookies do not apply here, with the exception of our
informational website (if one exists, e.g., a website with regulations), which may use
cookies for basic purposes (e.g., remembering language settings).
Within the mobile application itself:
- We use Firebase Analytics and potentially similar tools, which may utilize the
device's advertising identifier (Advertising ID on Android / IDFA on iOS) or
its own analytical identifier to track in-app activity. This identifier is
pseudonymous and can be reset in your device settings. On iOS, you can
completely block tracking (ATT - App Tracking Transparency, where the app
will ask for permission to access IDFA; we will display such a request if
Apple's rules for Analytics require it). On Android, you can disable ad
personalization and reset the identifier in your privacy settings.
- Push notifications tokens: Your device generates a token (a string of
characters) for receiving push notifications. We store this token linked to your
account to send notifications. This token can be considered a technical
identifier; if you don't want to receive push notifications, you can disable them
in the app or system settings – in that case, we won't use it.
- GPS/Bluetooth/WiFi: These are not cookies, but it's worth mentioning – the
game uses GPS and potentially BT/WiFi (e.g., to improve location accuracy).
You can always disable these at the system level, though it will limit the
game's functionality.
Currently, we do not use cross-app tracking mechanisms (between different
applications) beyond standard analytical functions. We also do not share analytical
data with external advertisers (the game does not feature classic third-party ads; it
relies on its own mechanisms).
If, in the future, we introduce technologies that may collect additional information
(e.g., integration with Facebook SDK for sharing, which may set certain tokens), we
will inform you in this Policy.
- Final Provisions
- Privacy Policy Updates: We may periodically update this Privacy Policy due to
changes in our data processing practices or legal regulations. We will inform Users of
any significant changes through an appropriate notice (e.g., in the application upon
login or on our website), and the amended Policy will be marked with a new effective
date. We encourage you to regularly review the Policy to stay up-to-date on how we
protect User data.
- Contact and Additional Information: If you have any questions regarding this
Policy or general privacy issues within the Game, please contact the Administrator
(contact details in point 2 above). We are happy to clarify any doubts and respond to
feedback – User privacy is very important to us, and we constantly strive to raise our
protection standards.
Thank you for taking the time to read the Privacy Policy. We wish you enjoyable and
safe gameplay in FindTheMoney!
