This Privacy Policy applies to the Game and websites and the services that go with them - collectively “GoGallop Services”.

Your options and your rights.

We will provide you a copy of your personal data on request. You also have the right to correct your data, have it deleted, and restrict how we share your data. You may opt-out of receiving promotional communications, such as marketing emails, push notifications, personalized in-game offers and other advertising. We will respond to all requests. You may contact your local data protection authority for unresolved complaints.


Data protection and retention.

Our security measures are designed to protect your data against loss, misuse and alteration and from unauthorised access. If you ask us to delete your data, we will do so except as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Otherwise, we keep your data while your account is active. We de-identify unused game accounts and other unnecessary data.

You can opt-out from personalised/ individualised advertisements, see section 'Your options and your rights' above.


Keeping GoGallop Services safe and fair.

We have a legitimate interest to collect and process data to keep the GoGallop Services and its social features safe and fair and to fight fraud. We aim to ensure a level playing field in the GoGallop Services. For more information on our acceptable use policy, see End User Licence Agreement.

To keep things safe and fair, we need to

  • analyse and monitor use of the GoGallop Services and its social features
  • moderate chats either automatically or manually; and
  • take action against fraudulent or misbehaving players.


To analyse, profile, and segment.

We have a legitimate interest to analyse, profile and segment data. With your consent, we may process your data for additional purposes, such as using your GPS location to tell you about local events.


Data access.

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

  • Other players
    Social features are a core component of our games. Other players and users may, for example, see your profile, in-game activities and read messages you have posted.
  • GoGallop Services’ Providers
    GoGallop has service providers to help us provide the GoGallop Services. These service providers process your data in accordance with GoGallop´s instructions, and perform tasks such as hosting, player support, advertising, analytics and fraud prevention.
  • Other Entities
    To combat fraud and illegal activity, we may process and disclose data with other companies and organisations and provide it to public authorities where that is lawful. We may also disclose your data, to comply with the law and to protect the rights, property and safety of us, our players and others.
  • Advertising and Social Media Partners
    The GoGallop Services include features from our partners, such as social media interaction tools, functionalities through application programming interfaces (APIs) and software development kits (SDKs) and in-game advertising. These partners may access data about your activities and your device (such as your IP address, mobile identifiers, page(s) visited, location, time of day). We may also share data with third-party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use this data to deliver targeted advertisements to you when you visit GoGallop Services within their networks. If you prefer not to share your personal data with third-party advertising partners, see “Your options and your rights” above.

Both types of partners operate under their own privacy policies, which you can check.


International data transfers.

GoGallop Services are global and your data can therefore be transferred to virtually anywhere in the world. Different countries have different data protection laws. We take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission and other lawful safeguards.


Cookies.

Like most online services, we and our partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide and personalize the GoGallop Services, analyse use, target advertisements and prevent fraud. Cookies and similar technologies allow us and our partners to store your preferences and track your activities within the GoGallop Services. We and our partners also collect and store information about users' interactions with unaffiliated websites and applications that use our technologies, including cookies and similar tracking technologies. This allows us to infer the presence of a common user or household behind multiple devices or browsers, for instance, and then link those browsers and devices into a device graph.

We do so in order:

  • to detect and prevent fraud
  • to allow users to use the GoGallop Services on one device and pick up seamlessly where they left off on another device
  • for analytics, personalization and attribution
  • to limit the number of times a user is shown the same advertisement, across all known or inferred devices; and
  • to provide personalized advertising on each of your devices.

For more information (including opting out), visit www.gogallop/privacy. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the GoGallop Services may then not function properly.


Children.

Protecting children’s privacy online is very important. GoGallop Services are not directed to children under 13 (or other age as required by local law), and the GoGallop Services do not knowingly collect personal data from children, except as described below. For games not directed at children but nonetheless may appeal to them, we limit access to certain features such as social media and chat features, as well as certain types of notification alerts, based on the player’s age. We also limit the processing of personal data of children to the minimum that is necessary to support the internal operations of GoGallop Services. Parents and guardians can contact us to review personal data and have information modified or deleted. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data contrary to the above, we will delete it, unless we have a legal obligation to keep it; and we may terminate the child’s account and/or revert them to the underage experience, as applicable.


Privacy Policy updates.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically by posting a new version on the GoGallop.com website. We will notify you of any material changes, by posting a notice before the change becoming effective. After that effective date, the updated Privacy Policy will apply.


Effective as at 17 September 2020.

Updated October 2023
