Last updated: 29 July 2024

Dodreams Oy respects your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy is specific to Drive Ahead! Carcade mobile game (“Game”) made available on Apple Arcade service (whether used on mobile devices, Mac or other platforms such as Apple TV).  We use Apple Game Center and Gamekit to authenticate you as a player. We may also use ReplayKit to show video replays of the Game content if you have chosen to activate this feature within the Game.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, share and use personal information about you in this context, and how you can exercise your privacy rights. 

If you use the Game, you agree to this Privacy Policy and processing of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Game.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your personal information, then please contact us using the contact details provided at the bottom of this Privacy Policy.

What personal information we collect and how we use the information

We collect limited information about you in our Game. This covers all data that is sent off of your device to our servers, including data collected for short term transient use. The information we collect about your use of the Game includes:

• Game progression to enable your use of the Game;

• Technical identifiers (such as game specific randomly generated player id, or IP address) to enable your use of the Game, including the multiplayer features within the Game. For multiplayer gameplay, the IP address is not retained, but rather processed during each multiplayer round and removed shortly after the multiplayer game is over; and 

• Your Game Center nickname to enable the multiplayer features within the Game.

We may receive anonymous aggregate analytics information about the use of the Game through Apple App Store Connect from such players who have agreed (opt-in) to this. We process and use this information to improve and develop the Game.

We also use the above-listed data to provide you with player / customer support.

Our legal basis for the processing of personal information is mainly the performance of the contract with you (to provide you with a Game service you have requested). Other processing is based on our legitimate interest (the player relationship between us). 

We will ask your consent if we need to collect data for other purposes not explained in this Privacy Policy.

Who can see the information we collect

Apart from Dodreams, your data can be accessed by others in the following situations:

• Other players you play with can see your nickname and game activities.

• Our service providers (e.g. hosting and other ICT service providers).  These vendors process your data only at and according to our instructions to provide the service

• Apple who provides the Arcade service. Apple collects and processed personal data in accordance with Apple’s own Privacy Policy.

• We may also disclose your data based on your consent, to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property or safety of us, our players or others.

How do we keep your personal information secure?

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect the personal information that we collect and process about you. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information. Specific measures we use include that only those of our employees, who on behalf of their work are entitled to process personal information, are entitled to use a system containing personal information. Each user has a personal username and password to the system. The information is collected into databases that are protected by firewalls, passwords and other technical measures. The databases and the backup copies are in locked premises and can be accessed only by certain pre-designated persons.

International data transfers

Our Game is global by nature and therefore your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy. These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or other similar arrangements for transfers of personal information between us and our third-party service providers and partners located outside the European Union or European Economic Area. Data protection of personal data transfers to US is protected by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework Program.

Data retention

We retain personal information we collect from you as long as the data is necessary for the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy. We will also retain the data as long as required to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. 

Unnecessary and outdated personal information will be erased or anonymized in connection with the periodical reviews and also at other times when deemed necessary.

Your data protection rights

You have the following data protection rights:

If you wish to access, correct, update, request deletion, object to processing or restrict processing of your personal information, you can do so at any time by contacting us. The same applies to portability requests.

To the extent we have collected and process your personal information based on your consent (as the legal basis), then you can withdraw your consent at any time. This can be done from the settings of our Games or your device. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.
