Privacy Notice
Effective Date: July 10, 2018.
This Privacy Notice describes the privacy practices of Bytecode inc and its website (https://bytecodeapps.azurewebsites.net) (the “Website”) and mobile game application (the “App”). The Privacy Notice describes the personal information that Bytecode collects and processes, how Bytecode may use and share the information, and the choices that are available to you with respect to Bytecode’s handling of the information. Please note that some functionality described in this Privacy Notice may not be available at this time at all times, or to all individuals. This Privacy Notice does not apply to information that Bytecode or third parties collect in connection with other websites, mobile applications or other services. These other websites, mobile apps and services are governed by their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read before using them.
Personal Information We Collect
The types of personal information that we may collect in connection with your use of the Website and the App include (but are not limited to):
Information you submit directly to us.
Information about you that you authorize or direct third parties to share with us.
Geo-location information.
Your contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number and mailing address.
· Demographic information, such as your state of residence, gender and date of birth.
· Username and password that you may select in connection with establishing an account on the Website or Mobile App.
· Images and photos (which may include your photograph) that you may choose to upload and associate with your account on the Website or Mobile App.
Information about you that we may receive from third parties, such as demographic information, that we may combine with other information that we have about you.
We, our service providers, and our business partners, may also collect certain information about the use of our Website and the App by automated means, including cookies, web beacons and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a user’s device to uniquely identify the user’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, is used to transmit information back to a web server. Third parties may use similar tracking technologies in connection with our Website and App, which may include the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services when you use the Website and App.
The types of information that may be collected by automated means include:
· Location Data. The App may collect the precise location of your device when the App is running in the foreground or background. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
· Computer and Mobile Device Data. Details about the devices that are used to access our Website or App (such as the IP address, and type of operating system and web browser, mobile operating system version, phone carrier and manufacturer, device identifiers, application installations, mobile advertising identifiers and push notification tokens).
· Usage Data. Information about how our Website and App are used, such as the dates and times of use, features that are used and the content that is viewed, how users navigate between our webpages or screens on our App, the search terms that users enter within the App, URLs that refer visitors to our Website or APP, and search terms used to reach our Website or locate our App.
Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time. Please see the “Your Rights and Choices” section below for information about how you may opt out of, or limit the use of, your browsing behavior for online behavioral advertising purposes.

We may also aggregate and/or de-identify any personal information that we collect in connection with our Website and App, such that the information is no longer personally identifiable or attributable to you. We may use such aggregated and/or de-identified information for our own legitimate business purposes and share such information with our business partners without restriction.

· With third parties with whom you ask or authorize us to share your personal information. For example, we may provide functionality that allows you to request that we send your personal information (whether on a one-time or recurring basis) to a healthcare provider or a company that maintains your health records or information. These third parties may use or share personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We strongly suggest you review the third parties’ privacy policies before asking or authorizing us to share your personal information with them.
· To comply with legal requirements, judicial process, and our company policies (including to verify users’ identity in connection with access or correction requests).

Unless prohibited by applicable law, we reserve the right to transfer the information we maintain in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. If we engage in such a sale or transfer, where required by applicable law, we will make reasonable efforts to direct the recipient to use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice. After such a sale or transfer, you may contact the recipient with any inquiries concerning the processing of your personal information.
Social Features
The Website and App may integrate with social sharing services that may enable you to share certain information about your use of our Website and App with other apps, sites, or media, and vice versa. Please refer to the privacy policies of those social sharing services for more information about how they handle the data you provide to or share through them. If we receive personal information about you in connection with your use of social sharing services, we will handle that information under this Privacy Notice.
Your Rights and Choices
You have certain rights regarding our processing of your personal information:
· You may unsubscribe from receiving marketing or other commercial emails from Bytecode by following the unsubscribe or opt-out instructions included in the email. However, even if you opt out of receiving such communications, we retain the right to send you non-marketing communications (such as important product safety information, or changes in website or mobile application terms).
· Your web browser may provide you with the ability to disable receiving certain types of cookies; however, if you disable cookies, some features or functionality of our Website may not function correctly.
· Your mobile device may provide you with the ability to prevent us from automatically collecting your location information. For example, you may be able to disable location services on your mobile device or to configure your mobile device not to allow the App to collect location information. However, this will limit your ability to use certain features of the App and will not limit our ability to derive your approximate location from your IP address.
· You may request access to the personal information that we maintain about you. We will provide you with a copy of the personal information we maintain about you in the ordinary course of business, to the extent the information is not available via our Website or App. You may request to correct any errors in your personal information. We reserve the right to verify user identity in connection with access or correction requests to help ensure that we provide the information to individuals to whom it pertains, and to maintain in our internal records a copy of the information that was corrected. You may contact us with access and correction requests using the information provided in the “How to Contact Us” section below.
International Data Transfers
We may transfer your personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. For example, personal information collected outside of the United States may be transferred to the United States or other countries where we operate for processing. The countries to which we transfer personal information may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the personal information.
How We Protect Personal Information
Bytecode maintains administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we maintain against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. However, the transmission of information over the Internet and across mobile devices is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee that the measures we maintain will ensure complete security of the personal information.
