I. WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” or “Personal Data” means information that alone or in combination identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.
II. CATEGORIES OF PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect specific categories of Personal Information. When you access our Services, we may collect certain information to complete your request. The information we collect varies depending on the Services you are using.
We describe how we collect information on our Services below:
III. SOURCES OF THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH WE COLLECT IT
The charts below list the categories of Personal Information we may collect, as well as the sources we collect the information and the purpose(s) for such collection.
Information we collect from you
We collect certain Personal Information from you directly or automatically using technology for the purposes described below:
Information we collect from third party sources
We collect Personal Information from various third-party companies and public sources as described below:
Disclosing Personal Information
For Data Collected via Google APIs:
We adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements, for any information collected through Linked Accounts. Use of this information will be limited to providing or improving user-facing features of the Services. We do not share your information that we receive through Google APIs with third parties other than those service providers as necessary to support functions we need to operate our Services, for legal or security reasons, or as part of an acquisition or liquidation.
For All Data Not Collected via Google APIs:
We may disclose your Personal Information as follows:
IV. DE-IDENTIFIED/AGGREGATED DATA
We may aggregate or de-identify Personal Information we collect through our Website and App and when operating our business. For example, we may aggregate Personal Information to calculate the percentage of users in a particular state. Once information or data has been de-identified and/or aggregated, such information is no longer Personal Information.
Playback may use or share such de-identified or aggregated data for any legal purpose at its sole discretion.
V. LINKED ACCOUNTS
To enable the Services to function and provide rewards to you, we need to access and record your game-related purchases. We achieve this by collecting the game-related purchase receipts sent to you via email. To collect these receipts, verify their authenticity, and mitigate the risk of fraud or other violations of the Playback Terms, we require that you link your email account to Playback by granting Playback access to your account through your email provider (such as via the Google OAuth API) (the “Linked Accounts”).
Playback will only search for and collect information from your linked accounts that is directly related to game or digital entertainment purchase receipts sent by game publishers, digital entertainment providers, or game-related platforms and payment processors (such as the Apple App Store or Google Play). By creating a Playback account or by accessing or using the Services, you authorize Playback to have read-only access to your linked accounts to search, collect, and process emails from these third-party senders for the explicit purpose of providing the Services to you.
Playback will not knowingly collect any information unrelated to game or digital entertainment-related purchase receipts. If any information is collected from your linked accounts that is deemed unnecessary to perform the Services, that information will be deleted as soon as reasonably practicable. Playback will only have read-only access to your linked accounts, meaning we can only view email content necessary to provide the Services to you. Playback will not be able to make changes to your linked account, send emails from your linked account, or otherwise manage or administer your linked account.
If you connect or authenticate to our Services using a third-party service (such as through Facebook) or during the Linked Accounts setup process, you authorize Playback to pre-populate the registration and other relevant information fields consistent with what has been specified above to your Playback account and/or to use such third-party network credentials to log you into the Service. If you connect your Playback account to a third-party service, you agree to comply with the terms, conditions, and policies applicable to that service.
VI. ACCOUNT VERIFICATION AND GIFT CARD REDEMPTION
In order to redeem rewards, you will need to complete an account verification process through our third-party partner, Stripe. This includes providing a valid form of government identification, which will be used to verify your identity and eligibility to use the Service. This data (including your identification card image, address, date of birth, and selfie picture) is subject to Stripe’s data privacy policy and will only be used for account verification, fraud prevention, customer support, and legal compliance purposes. Data you provide through this process is not stored or retained directly by Playback. Gift cards are provided through our third-party partner, Tremendous, and any data you provide directly to them through the redemption process (including your email address) is subject to their privacy policy.
VII. PLAYTIME REWARDS
You may also choose to provide additional information related to your Playback account. This includes opting into a feature to earn rewards in real-time based on your usage of certain mobile applications (“Playtime Rewards”). To participate in Playtime Rewards, you must enable the App Usage mobile device permission for the Playback mobile application. Enabling this permission will grant Playback access to verify the installed applications on your device and aggregate and validate your usage of those applications, which is necessary to provide the Playtime Rewards feature to you. You may disable the App Usage permission at any time by going to Settings on your device, selecting Apps, locating the Playback Rewards app, and selecting Permissions.

X. SOCIAL MEDIA AND PLUG-INS
Our online Services may use social media plug-ins (e.g., the Facebook "Like" button and "Share to X/Twitter" button) to enable you to easily interact with certain social media websites (e.g., Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram) and share information with others. When you visit our online Services, the operators of the available social media plugins can place a cookie on your device, enabling such operators to recognize individuals who have previously visited our online Services. If you are logged into these social media websites while visiting our online Services, the social media plugins allow the relevant social media Website to receive information that you have visited our online Services or other information.
The social media plugins also allow the applicable social media website to share information about your activities with our online Services with other users of the social media website. For example, Facebook Social Plugins allow Facebook to show your "Likes" and comments on our online Services to your Facebook friends. Facebook Social Plugins also allow you to see your friends' Facebook activity on our online Services. We do not control any of the content from the social media plugins. We may also interact with you on social media platforms.

While we implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your privacy, please keep in mind that the Internet is not a 100% secure medium for communication, and we cannot guarantee that the information collected about you will always remain private when using our Website and/or Services. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
XIII. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
As our organization changes over time, this Privacy Policy may change as well. We reserve the right to amend the Privacy Policy at any time, for any reason, without notice to you, other than the posting of the amended Privacy Policy on our Services. We will provide you notice of material changes by indicating that the Privacy Policy has been updated on our homepage and will indicate the date we made the update above.
