Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. In some cases, we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What is a cookie, and what kinds of cookies are there? It's a pretty simple concept! Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well to provide reporting information to them.

There are two types of cookies. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, us) are called first party cookies. Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third party cookies. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (such as advertising, interactive content, or analytics). The parties that set these third party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

We may use web beacons to collect to access or store information as well. Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors on a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (or sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Site. This allows us, for example, to monitor traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to this website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website and to improve site performance. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly.

Our Use of Cookies

Cookies are necessary in order to provide access to features on our Service. When you visit our Service, cookies and other similar tracking technologies may automatically collect information about your device (such as OS, IP address, ID, etc.) and what software (type, version, etc.) you use to access our Site. We will not use cookies or other tracking technologies in any way except to: (i) collect information about your device (such as your operating system, IP address, device ID, etcetera); (ii) identify what software you are using to access our Service (such as your device type, version, etcetera); (iii) initiate moderation towards player behavior on our Service; (iv) store user Account information (such as your login credentials, settings associated with your Account, and other preferences); (v) gather performance information related to our Service; (vi) gather demographic information about our players; and (vii) perform similar functions.

We may share you information under certain circumstances. In short, we only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share data based on the following legal basis:

Consent. We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information in a specific purpose.

Vital Interests. We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online activity. We do not share, sell, rent or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

Data Retention Policy; Security

It is necessary for us to store certain Account data in order to achieve our legitimate business interests and for other reasons. However, the protection of your Account and personal data is extremely important to us. We take necessary steps to protect your data. Such steps include: (i) using secure socket layer technology (or SSL) to securely transport encrypted data you enter on payment forms; and/or (ii) encrypting your security information (such as logon credentials and other Account information). We cannot guarantee the complete security of data that we retain, as no transmission via online services or storage is one-hundred percent secure.

For the safety of children that use our Service, we do not knowingly gather personal information from your child on our Site, nor is this Site directed to use personal information from children under the age of 13 without obtaining verifiable consent from a child's parents. In the event that a child under the age of 13 knowingly sends personal information to us, we will only use that information to respond directly to the child or the child's parent or guardian. We recognize that protecting a child's identity and online privacy is important. That responsibility rests on both us, and with a child's parent. Children under the age of 13 should not use the Service without permission from their parents. If a parent or guardian believes that their child has provided us with personally identifiable information, they should immediately contact us at help@worldtobuild.com so that we can give them the opportunity to review and delete such information.

Content within our website is filtered (by both manned and automated moderation) for profanity, obscenities, personal information or information which otherwise violates these Terms. However, like all filtering systems, our filters are not one-hundred percent effective.

International Data Transfer

We may transfer, store, and process your information in countries other than your own. Our servers for hosting, data storage, data transfer or other services may be located outside of the country in which you reside. Please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processes by us in our facilities and by those third parties whom we may share your personal information (see "Information Sharing" above) in other countries or within our operating country (U.S.A.).

If you are a resident in the European Economic Area, then these countries may not have data protection or other laws as comprehensive as those in your own country.
