This Privacy Notice will help you understand what personal data we collect about you, why we collect it, how we process it and when we delete it. This Notice will also clarify how you can exercise your rights when you trust us to handle your personal data. We ask that you take a moment to read this Notice carefully and familiarize yourself with its content. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact us by using the contact information provided at the end of this Notice.
This Privacy Notice is based on the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), a law created by the European Union. As a company based in the European Union, we apply the standards set by the GDPR to everyone who uses our Services worldwide, regardless of their place of residence. However, if you do reside outside the European Union and use our Services, we may apply additional standards to you as required by local law.
To the extent that the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) applies to you, the definitions in this Privacy Notice are to be read as follows: “personal data” includes “personal information”; “data subject” includes “consumer”; “controller” includes “business”; “processor” includes “service provider”, all as defined under the CCPA. For more information about our commitment to the CCPA, please read Section 22 TODO below.
We are part of a group of gaming studios that are owned by our parent company Modern Times Group MTG AB (“MTG”), a Swedish gaming company. We cooperate with MTG, and the other gaming studios of the group (each a “Group Company”) to learn from one another, help each other and improve how we all make games. We like to see ourselves as a small gaming village in which we strive together to make great games. You will find more information about the ways we process data as a group on Title 20 "Group Cooperations."
Please note that our Services may contain links to external websites of other companies. If you follow a link to any of these websites, you should be aware that they have their own privacy notice and that we do not assume any liability for their processing of your personal data. Therefore, please make sure to read their privacy notices.
We offer our Services only to players who are at least 16 years old. Hence, we do not market to or solicit personal data from persons under the age of 16. If you are below the age of 16, please obtain the consent of your legal guardian before using our Services.

In general, we process only the personal data which you disclose to us when using one of our Services. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. When you register as a user on one of our websites or in one of our apps, you only have to provide a username, email address and, if applicable, a password. When registering for certain Services such as mobile apps, usernames and email addresses are not collected during registration but only later during the use of the Service. We always store the password you have chosen in hashed form, which never allows for an inference of the actual password.
In the context of implementing a contract you have concluded with us, particularly in the context of fee-based Services you have chosen, the disclosure of further data, such as your full name, physical address, payment information may be required. It is sometimes also necessary to request further personal data for the purposes of processing your inquiries or providing you with support. BeatNJump will handle this data confidentially and in compliance with the applicable data privacy provisions. As a matter of principle, BeatNJump will not disclose personal data to third parties without your consent, unless there is a specific legal basis of doing so.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) serves as the legal basis for personal data processing.
In personal data processing required for the fulfilment of a contract of which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to the processing required in order to carry out pre-contractual actions.
Insofar as personal data processing is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation which our company is subject to, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require personal data processing, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is required to protect the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the interests mentioned first, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
The personal data of the data subject are deleted or anonymized as soon as the purpose of storage no longer exists. In addition, such storage may occur if this is provided for by the EU law or Member State laws to which we are subject. The deletion or anonymization of data also occurs when the storage period prescribed in the abovementioned laws lapses, unless further storage of the data is required for conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
BeatNJump makes reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to your personal data as well as unauthorized use or falsification of these data and to minimize the corresponding risks. However, the provision of personal data, whether it be in person, over the phone or over the Internet, always involves risks and no technological system is completely free of the possibility of being manipulated or sabotaged.

In addition, we store your IP address and your log files to ensure the functionality of the Services, to optimize the website, to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
Moreover, BeatNJump reserves the right to store IP addresses and log files and to monitor compliance with our Terms of Service and Game Rules ("Breach of the Terms”). Particularly in this case, the data is used to prevent any cases of abuse or to resolve them in or outside of a court of law (“Legal Dispute”), and, on a case-by-case basis, to pass on the data for this purpose to investigative authorities. Apart from that, any other analysis of data is done in anonymous form as much as possible. After the end of this period, the IP address and log files are deleted, unless there are mandatory statutory storage requirements or specific prosecution and abuse investigation proceedings pending.
The legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to fulfil the purpose of their collection. In the case when data are collected for the purpose of making the Services available, this is the case when the respective session is over.
Log files which contain personal data are generally deleted after seven days at the latest, unless
After the end of this period, the IP address and log files are deleted, unless there are mandatory statutory storage requirements or specific prosecution is pending.
The collection of data for the purpose of making the Services available and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. As a consequence, there is no objection possibility on the part of the user. Likewise, in case of error logs and breach of terms of service, there is no possibility of requesting the objection or the deletion of the log files. This decision is based on Art. 21(1) and 17(3)(f) GDPR.
BeatNJump uses an automated tool to determine whether you are breaching our Terms of Services or Game Rules in regards of the usage of prohibited bots and scripts (“Bot Detection Tool”). The Bot Detection Tool serves us by analyzing the data produced by your hardware when playing our games. In case the Bot Detection Tool determines that your actions in the game are incompatible with the action produced by a human, you might be subject to receiving an automatic ban.
In case we receive a direct inquiry from you we need to process your data to respond to your request. In case your request requires the involvement of the legal department your data will be processed by them as well. In the same way. the legal department might need to process your data in case you are involved in a legal matter, or dispute.
It is possible to contact us via our provided email addresses. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the email is stored.
The processing of personal data serves us to process the contact and the support request by the responsible departments.
In case your contact relates to a legal matter, or a dispute between you and BeatNJump, and this matter or dispute requires the attention of the legal department, the processing of your data will serve the purpose of handling legal matters or disputes, fulfilling legal obligations, complying with regulatory requirements, and to support the business units in obtaining and interpreting court orders and judgments, including accompanying and negotiating disputes.
The legal basis for this data processing is legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing with the purpose of concluding a contract or serving the contract execution is performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing with the purpose of fulfilling legal obligations and/or complying with regulatory requirements, is performance of a legal obligation Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

The retention duration of data used for managing legal matters or disputes is determined either by the applicable limitation period, or by the relevant legal obligations to preserve records, such as Section 147 German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung) and Section 257 German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch). In cases where the same data is also used for another purpose outlined in this Privacy Notice, the retention period related to that purpose also applies.
At any time after contacting us, you have the option to object to personal data processing. In such a case, the conversation cannot continue, and your concern may not be conclusively handled.
Note, however, that there may be certain situations in which the continuous processing of your data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, and so your right to object and request erasure will preclude, as per the Art. 17(3)(e), and Art. 21(1) GDPR.

This is either done by placing a cookie in the cache of your browser or via an SDK embedded in our apps, which sends information to our Partners. The data generally includes your IP address and in-game events.
BeatNJump makes use of these third-party analysis services for fraud detection and prevention, to detect breaches of BeatNJump' Terms and Conditions, to track in-game-events to create user-related statistics of activity, to measure performance on different versions of devices and player’s reaction to version changes, and the stability and compatibility of the current game version.

Since our games are generally free to download and play, to be able to maintain and continuously develop our games we monetize them by displaying ads in them. When displaying ads, we use third-party advertising companies to serve the ads in our games. The advertising companies pay us for displaying their ads and this what makes it possible for us to offer you the game free of charge. Apart from this, we might also give you the possibility to watch an ad instead of paying for a feature that you otherwise would have to pay. The third-party advertising companies may collect and use some of your personal information, including but not limited to IP address, geo location, and language settings to offer you personalized ads, but also to know if you clicked on and watched the video ad. Non-personally identifiable information to manage and measure the delivery of advertising within that game can be collected, including the number of times the same advertisement is served and viewed.
The data is processed by us to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. We offer our mobile games for free, so these ads allow us to continue making and updating top quality free games which is a legitimate interest of ours but also of yours if you want to play games for free. Without displaying ads, we would not make sufficient money to keep offering the games for free to you. Please do not play our games if you do not wish to have your personal data processed for advertising purposes.
Personalized Ads: The legal basis for processing your personal data (especially your IDFA) for personalized ads on iOS is your consent, Art. 6(1)(a)GDPR, which you grant us by allowing tracking through the pop-up at the start of the game.
You can revoke your consent with effect for the future as follows:
iOS: Select “Ask App Not to Track” in the consent pop-up at the start of the game (if you haven’t already disabled tracking in your system settings). If you want to withdraw your consent later: Open “Settings” > “Privacy & Security” > “Tracking”. On this screen you can control if and how apps can track you across other companies’ apps and websites. Additionally, open “Settings” > “Privacy” Security” > “Apple Advertising”. On this screen you can control if and how Apple shows you personalized ads.
Browser: Deselect “Allow third party browser cookies and pixels” in the Data Usage Window of the game.
Non-Personalized Ads: The legal basis for processing your personal data to display ads that are not personalized is a legitimate interest of ours, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We offer our games for free. To be able to keep doing this we show advertisements in our games for which the advertising companies pay us. Without this, we would have to charge a fee for you to play our games. It is a legitimate interest of ours to process your data to display ads that are not personalized to be able to keep providing you our games free of charge and so we remain able to compete with other companies on the market and create great and entertaining games that a large audience can enjoy, no matter how much money one is able to spend. This interest outweighs a potential contrary interest of yours if you do not want your data to be processed to display ads. Unfortunately, it is technically not possible to efficiently display ads without processing some of your personal data for this purpose. Please do not play our games if you do not wish to have your personal data processed for us to display non-personalized ads.
Personalized and Non-Personalized Ads: The legal basis for processing your personal data to display personalized ads as well as ads that are not personalized is a legitimate interest of ours, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We offer our games for free. To be able to keep doing this we show advertisements in our games for which the advertising companies pay us. Without this, we would have to charge a fee for you to play our games. It is a legitimate interest of ours to process your data to display ads that are not personalized to be able to keep providing you our games free of charge and so we remain able to compete with other companies on the market and create great and entertaining games that a large audience can enjoy, no matter how much money one is able to spend.
You can opt-out of having your personal data processed for personalized ads as follows:
Android: Open “Settings” > “Privacy” > “Ads”. On this screen you can control if and how ad personalization on the device occurs.
Fire OS: Open “Settings” > “Security & Privacy” > “Advertising ID” > “Interest-Based Ads”. On this screen you can control if and how ad personalization on the device occurs.
Opting out of having your personal data processed when we display non-personalized ads is unfortunately not possible. In case of non-personalized ads, our legitimate interest to process data to display such ads (see above) outweighs a potential contrary interest of yours. Unfortunately, it is technically not possible to efficiently display ads without processing some of your personal data for this purpose. Please do not play our games if you do not wish to have your personal data processed for us to display non-personalized ads.
The data will be retained as long as you maintain your account with us. Note that by playing as a guest, that is, even if you have not registered and confirmed your e-mail with us, you still maintain an account with us (“Guest Account”).

If the processing restriction was imposed pursuant any of the above circumstances, we will inform you before the restriction is lifted.
If you assert the right to rectification, deletion, or restriction of processing, we will notify each recipient to whom your personal data was disclosed of this, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will inform you about these recipients if you request it.
You have the right to receive your personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Furthermore, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller from us, provided that:
