  1. Technology Integrations, Analytics, and Advertising

Our Service may contain content from and hyperlinks to websites, locations, platforms, and services operated and owned by other parties.

For example, we may offer our games on other platforms and/or devices such as Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, and Stadia, or allow you to broadcast your videos over video platforms, such as Twitch. When you interact with another platform or device, other parties may use Tracking Technologies to independently collect information about you and may solicit information from you. Also, if you connect the Service with another service, both we and the applicable service may have access to and use information associated with your use of such connectivity feature. 

Our Service also may contain Tracking Technologies, some of which are owned and operated by other parties. For example, we may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyze your use of the Service, compile statistic reports on the Service’s activity, and provide other services relating to Service activity and internet usage. Similarly, we may work with agencies, ad networks,  advertisers, and other parties to track your activities across time and services, and tailor ads to you based on your activities, which may include sending you an ad on another service or device after you have left the Service (“Interest-based Advertising”)

Please note that when you interact with other entities, including through Tracking Technologies or when you leave our Service, those entities may independently collect information about you and solicit information from you. The information collected and stored by other parties, whether through our Service or another service, remains subject to their own policies and practices, including what information they share with us, your choices on their services and devices, and whether they store information in the U.S. or elsewhere. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with and consult their privacy policies and terms of use. 

For further information on Tracking Technologies and your choices regarding them and for analytics and advertising, please see the “Information Collected Automatically” section above and the “Your Rights and Choices” section below.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES
  2. Account.

You have the right to access information that you have voluntarily submitted to us through your account, including correcting, updating, or removing information, by sending an email to us at privacy@katnappe.com. We may require additional information from you to allow us to confirm your identity. Please note that we will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

  1. Tracking Technology Choices.

Regular cookies may generally be disabled or removed by tools available as part of most commercial browsers, and in some instances blocked in the future by selecting certain settings. Browsers offer different functionalities and options so you may need to set them separately. With respect to our apps, you can stop all collection of information via the app by uninstalling the app. 

Please be aware that if you disable or remove these technologies some parts of the Service may not work and that when you revisit the Service your ability to limit browser-based Tracking Technologies is subject to your browser settings and limitations.

Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what website and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, we do not monitor or take any action with respect to these “Do Not Track” signals or other mechanisms. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

  1. Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising.

You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Some of the advertisers and other parties that perform advertising-related services for us may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding Interest-based Advertising, visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices, and http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices for information on the DAA’s opt-out program for apps. Some of these companies may also be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt-out of certain kinds of Interest-based Advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads. Opting out only means that those selected members should no longer deliver certain Interest-based Advertising to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., from other ad networks). KATNAPPE is not responsible for effectiveness of, or compliance with, any other parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs.

  1. Communications

You may opt-out of receiving marketing emails from us at any time by following the instructions as provided in marketing emails to click on the unsubscribe link or by sending an email to us at privacy@katnappe.com with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject field of the email. Please note that your opt out is limited to the email address used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions or non-promotional communications, such as those about your account, transactions, servicing, or KATNAPPE’s ongoing business relations.

We may send you push notifications until you remove our apps or games or opt-out by adjusting the permissions on your device.

The Service is intended for a general audience and not directed to children under thirteen (7) years of age.

KATNAPPE has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles of notice, choice, accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity and purpose limitation, access, and recourse, enforcement and liability. KATNAPPE will provide appropriate safeguards to comply with the judgment issued by the Court of Justice of the European Union on July 16, 2020 declaring the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as invalid. 

In accordance with our obligations under Privacy Shield, and subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, we hereby affirm our commitment to subject to the Privacy Shield Principles all personal data transferred from the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland in reliance on Privacy Shield. This means that, in addition to our other obligations under the Privacy Shield Principles, we shall be liable to you for any third party agent to which we transfer your personal data in reliance on Privacy Shield and that processes such personal data in a manner that violates the Privacy Shield Principles, unless we can demonstrate that we are not responsible for the resulting damages.

In the event that you have any inquiry, dispute, or claim arising out of or relating to our reliance on Privacy Shield, please email us at privacy@katnappe.com or send us a letter to KATNAPPE SP. Z O. O. ,Address 1: PANSKA, 96, No. 83, Warsaw, Mazowiecki, Poland [PL], Postal Code: 00-837.

You may exercise your rights by submitting a written request to us at the address set out in the “Contact Us” section above. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request.
