MILITUM GAMES PRIVACY POLICY ×

Effective Date: 17th September 2019



Welcome to Militum Games! Our privacy policy explains what info Militum Games collects when you visit the Militum services, as well as ways we might use or share it. We’re only describing our own practices – this policy doesn’t apply to third parties we don’t own or control, including other companies you might interact with on or through the Militum services.



Militum Games, is a global gaming company headquartered in Hungary with operations around the world. When we say “Militum Games”, we’re referring to the Militum Games entity responsible for providing the Militum services in your region.



When we reference “the Militum services,” we mean all Militum Games, websites, applications, and services that link to this policy, regardless of how you access or use them, including through mobile devices. Your use of the Militum services is also subject to the Terms of Use in your region (including its provisions regarding limitations on damages, resolution of disputes, and application of governing law). Please read this entire policy to make sure you understand it. You should also read the Terms of Use carefully, and make sure you understand and agree to them before using the Militum services.



We encourage you to use the policy’s interactive features to guide you. We’ve written summaries to identify the key issues discussed in many sections at a glance. However, these summaries are intended solely to simplify things and the full policy should be read as it takes priority in the event of any ambiguity or conflicts (so be sure to read the whole thing carefully!).

If you don’t understand any parts of the policy, Contact Us with questions at privacy@militum.io.

I. INFO WE COLLECT

Summary: We collect info in three main ways:

You provide some of it directly (such as by registering for an account).

We record some of it automatically (including with technologies like cookies).

We receive some of it from third parties (like social media companies).

The particular kinds of info we gather usually depend on how you interact with us, like which Militum services you use and how you do so.

A. Info You Provide

Summary: We collect info you choose to provide or give to us in any manner. You don’t have to share info when we ask you for it, but if you decline, you might not be able to access certain Militum services or take advantage of their full functionality.

We collect info you enter or otherwise provide on the Militum services, including:

Your email address, date of birth, Summoner Name, and similar contact info like when you register for an account;

Your username, password, and other details that help us secure and provide access to the Militum services (like when you login to our games or websites);

Your name, billing address, telephone number, payment method, and other details we collect to help process purchases you make (like when you buy Militum Items or shop at our Merch Store (coming later);

Your support-related info, including the nature of your concern and your account or order details (like when you request help from us, such as by submitting a Player Support ticket);

Your preferences, interests, and general demographic info (such as your hobbies, favorite games, or other info you share, like when you respond to a survey);

Info you share with us in connection with contests or promotions (like to submit an entry, prove your eligibility, or claim a prize if you win); and

Your Militum Games account info (like your preferred game settings, key bindings, friends list, and mastery and other pages).

The Militum services also offer social features like forums and chat. When you use these features, the info you share is public info – this means we may collect and use the info you provide (including to enforce our Terms of Use, such as described in Anti-Cheat & Fraud Prevention and Chat & Player Behavior below), and in some cases it may also be collected or used by others without your knowledge (for example, if you’re chatting with another player while they stream a Militum Games match).

When you play multiplayer games like Militum Games, note that some info will be publicly accessible to others, such as your game statistics and performance. We may record gameplay and related info (such as Summoner Name, build order, and in-game actions), and replay or otherwise make it available to other players without further notice to you. For example, players can watch each other play Militum Games using Spectator Mode, and we may use gameplay footage to help promote the Militum services.





B. Info We Collect Automatically

Summary: We automatically collect some info about how you interact with and navigate the Militum services, as well as the device and software you use to do so.

Common examples include info regarding:

Your use of the Militum services (such as timestamps, clicks, scrolling, browsing times, searches, referral/exit pages, and in-game activity and interactions);

Your computer or device (such as IP addresses, unique device IDs, processing capabilities, manufacturer and model, language and other regional settings, geographic location, and screen resolution and similar settings);

Your connection to the Militum services, including details about the network and software you’re using (such as browser type and version, operating system name and version, ISP, and your preference settings); and

How the Militum services perform, including problems you may encounter (such as loading errors and response times).

We may use technologies like cookies and our own servers to help us collect and store this info, including in log files (see How We Collect Info).

C. Info We Collect From Third Parties

Summary: Sometimes we obtain info from third parties to use along with the info we collect. For example, if you link your Facebook account with your Militum Games account, Facebook may share info with us in accordance with Facebook’s privacy policy and your privacy settings on it.

We may collect info from third parties to supplement the info you provide and the info we collect automatically. For example:

We obtain info from third parties if you use their services in connection with the Militum services (such linking your Facebook account with the Militum services via the Add Friends feature). Your privacy settings on the third party’s service control what info they share with us. Please make sure you’re comfortable with what they might share by reviewing their posted policies, and if applicable, modifying your privacy settings directly on their service.

We gather advertising and analytics info from third parties to help support our marketing initiatives, improve the Militum services, and better manage our ad campaigns (like by displaying more personalized ads and measuring how effective they are).

We collect info from third parties to help us identify where you’re using the Militum services from (like your approximate location based on your IP address). This helps us, for example, process purchases (like assessing tax obligations), prevent fraud or abuse of the Militum services (such as identifying suspicious transactions or activity), and customize your visit (like displaying the Militum services in your local language).

We’ll also receive info from third-party platforms (like iTunes or Google Play) if you download the Militum services (such as the Militum app (coming later)) on your mobile device. This might include, for example, technical details (like device IDs) and the fact that you’ve downloaded one of our apps.

II. HOW WE COLLECT INFO

Summary: In addition to info you provide, we and our partners automatically record some info about how you use and navigate the Militum services. We may combine this info with other info we gather from or about you as described in this policy, including to enforce our Terms of Use and for analytics and advertising purposes.





A. Cookies & Related Technologies

Summary: We use our own servers and technologies like cookies to automatically collect and store info about how you interact with the Militum services, as well as the device you use to do so.

“Cookies” are small pieces of data that online services you use place on your device for record-keeping and identification purposes. “Web beacons” are transparent pixel images that allow online services to collect info about the ways you interact with them (like whether you’ve opened an email or clicked on an ad). Similar common technologies include things like tags, scripts, local shared objects (e.g., Flash cookies), local storage (e.g., HTML5), and related tools.

The Militum services use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to automatically collect, store, and read files on your device. They may be delivered in a first-party (i.e., by Militum Games) or third-party (i.e., by other companies) context. These tools help the Militum services work and operate more efficiently, as well as capture info about how you interact with us (see Info We Collect).

We also use our servers in connection with these technologies to collect info about the ways you interact with the Militum services and store it in log files. This may include, for example, info that your device, browser, or operating system sends to us when you access the Militum services (like device IDs, IP addresses, and hardware or software specifications) and details about how you use your Militum Games account (like the particular features you use, your in-game interactions and statistics, and other similar info).

We use info gathered through technologies like cookies for several reasons, including:

To monitor, secure, and maintain the Militum services (like preventing fraud);

To enhance your browsing experience (such as allowing you to log-in to your account);

To analyze and improve our operations (like aggregating traffic and usage patterns);

To control the display of ads (including providing you with targeted offers);

To support and gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns (like letting us know if you’ve clicked on our ads or opened our emails);

To better personalize your visit and store your preferences and settings (for example, displaying content in your local language); and

To otherwise manage our relationship with players and provide the Militum services under the Terms of Use (including help prevent toxicity and ensure a fair gaming environment, such as described in Anti-Cheat & Fraud Prevention and Chat & Player Behavior below).

You can learn more about cookies and similar technologies, including details of how to manage or disable them, read our Cookies Policy, or by visiting http://aboutcookies.org/ or consulting your browser’s privacy features. Some ways of managing traditional cookies may not impact the use of other technologies, but certain browsers may offer their own tools for removing HTML5.

Please note that disabling technologies like cookies may prevent you from using the full functionality of the Militum services and the Militum services may not work as we intended.

B. Analytics & Interested-Based Ads

Summary: We partner with third parties (like content providers, analytics companies, and advertising networks) to help us improve the Militum services and better understand how you interact with them, as well as support our marketing initiatives. These companies may collect info from you automatically in connection with your visit.

In addition to the technologies we place, other companies may set their own cookies or similar tools when you visit the Militum services. This includes vendors we’ve engaged to provide services on our behalf (like website analytics), as well as third parties that deliver content (like videos from YouTube) or offers (like ads from ad networks) contained on the Militum services. We may receive reports based on our partners’ use of these tools on an individual or aggregate basis.

For example, we use third-party analytics providers (like Google Analytics) to help evaluate and report on use of the Militum services. We also partner with ad companies to support our marketing efforts, including by serving you ads better tailored to your likely interests (such as based on your browsing activity on the Militum services and when visiting other online services). These companies may set and read their own cookies and similar technologies to gather info about your online activities across websites and services.

Some analytics providers and ad companies offer you choices about how they collect and use info directly on their websites. To learn more about opting out of Google Analytics, click here. You may also be able to opt-out in some cases by visiting http://www.aboutads.info or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/, or if you’re located in the EU or Canada, http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ or http://youradchoices.ca/ respectively.

Please note that opting-out of interest-based advertising won’t necessarily entirely prevent info from being collected automatically on the Militum services, and it doesn’t mean you’ll receive fewer ads or stop them from being displayed. Instead, the ads you do receive won’t be interest-based any longer and therefore might be less relevant to your interests.

III. HOW WE USE AND SHARE INFO

Summary: We use and share your info in accordance with the legal bases set out below to help us provide, operate, improve, understand, customize, support and market the Militum services.

We do share info that doesn’t directly identify you (like your Summoner Name, match history, game stats, and other aggregate or anonymous info).

If we ever stop providing Militum services, we may share your info with the buyer. Lastly, remember the stuff you share in social features (like chat and forums) is public -- please be careful about how you use them!

We also share info with service providers that operate on our behalf for the purposes discussed in this policy. For example, when you buy something on the Militum services, we’ll share your payment-related info with entities we’ve engaged to process payments and provide similar financial services (like fraud prevention). Other common examples include partners that help us store data, send marketing emails, and provide Player Support services.

If you share info publicly through interactive features we control, such as forums and chat, you should understand that this info is public not private. We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor your use of them, including for purposes like enforcing our Terms of Use and applicable player behavior requirements (see Chat & Player Behavior and Anti-Cheat & Fraud Prevention.

We may disclose player info in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets, or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings). This means your info may be one of the assets transferred to the acquiring entity in such situations.

Please note that your Summoner Name and gameplay statistics (like your match history, item builds, and average number of kills and deaths) are public info that may be shared in-game and out-of-game with players and other third parties.

D. Chat & Player Behavior

We’ve empowered our players to help police compliance with our policies related to certain in-game behavior. For example, Militum Games players may report each other and submit descriptions of their in-game activity and actions to help us determine if the reported behavior constituted a violation of rules and procedures that apply to player conduct, as well as any potential repercussions (such as temporary or permanent account suspensions or chat restrictions).

We also record and store, and reserve the right (but have no obligation) to monitor, chat and similar details about in-game interactions for a period we determine in our sole discretion is appropriate to help us, among other things, detect and prevent toxicity, enforce our rules and policies, and foster a more positive gaming community for our players. We use both manual (like many Player Support tickets) and automated (such as machine learning) tools and techniques to support these efforts.

Please be kind to other players, observe our policies related to player behavior (including our Terms of Use), and always be careful what you share in chat!





E. Anti-Cheat & Fraud Prevention

We always seek to offer players a fair, fun, and competitive gaming experience on the Militum services. Our Terms of Use strictly prohibit use of unauthorized third-party programs that interact with the Militum services, including mods, hacks, cheats, scripts, bots, trainers, and automation programs. When you create or use a Militum Games account, purchase things from us, play our games, or otherwise interact with the Militum services, we may use anti-cheat and fraud prevention technologies that may make automated decisions (such as temporary or permanent account suspensions or chat restrictions) based on the info we collect from or about you (see Info We Collect). This primarily helps us enforce our rules and policies, secure the Militum services, detect and prevent unauthorized activity, and maintain the competitive integrity of our games.

IV. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

Summary: We work with third parties to make your experience better, but our policy doesn’t and can’t apply to entities we don’t own, control, or instruct. We’re unable to guarantee that independent third parties adhere to the same practices as us, so please be sure to read their policies and terms before sharing info with them.

There are several ways you might share info with third-party websites or services in connection with your visit, including:

External Links . If you click on links to external websites or services that are operated by third parties, they may collect, use, and share your info pursuant to their own policies (not ours). Including a link to or from third-party services doesn’t mean we’ve endorsed their practices.

Account Integrations . The Militum services use interfaces that allow you interact with third-party websites, applications, or similar services during your visit, including on or through your Militum Games account or an account you’ve created with such third parties. For example, we partner with social media companies to provide features that facilitate social sharing and connections (such as the Facebook “Like” button and other widgets). These features may collect info about your interactions with them and the Militum services, and may use technologies like cookies to function properly. How third-party companies like Facebook process your info is controlled by their own privacy policies.

Cookies & Related Technologies . The Militum services contain cookies, web beacons, and other common technologies that help us collect and analyze info in connection with your visit (see Info We Collect Automatically). Third parties (like analytics providers or ad networks) may set and read their own tracking technologies on the Militum services. If they do, they’re responsible for using these tools as described in their respective privacy policies.

VII. YOUR CHOICES AND CONTROLS

Summary: You have choices regarding your use of the Militum services and the ways we process info. Since you can interact with us in many different ways, the particular controls available to you often depend on the nature of our relationship.

You can use many parts of the Militum services without ever creating an account, purchasing our products or services, or otherwise submitting info like your name or email address to us. If you do choose to share this info with us, we generally retain it as long as your account is active or as is otherwise necessary to provide the Militum services and operate our business (including for purposes like complying with our legal obligations, managing internal books and records, preventing fraud, resolving disputes, and enforcing our contracts and terms, such as this policy and the Terms of Use), unless a longer retention period is permitted or required by law. You can also limit the info you share with third parties, such as by choosing not to link your Militum Games account with third-party services (see Third-Party Websites and Services).

We offer players choices about the types of communications they receive from Militum Games. If you choose to receive marketing and promotional emails from us but later change your mind, simply “unsubscribe” by following the instructions in the relevant email. These choices don’t apply to mandatory communications that are part of the Militum services, like important account-related notices.

The Militum services also have many built-in tools to help players exercise control over their info directly. For example, you can generally delete old forum posts, mute or disable voice chat functionality, and change other preferences from your account settings. If you need help with any of these options, be sure to Contact Us at privacy@militum.io.

VIII. SECURITY

Summary: We’re committed to securing player info, but can’t guarantee the security of any data we collect from you. By choosing to share info with us (or anybody else online these days), you’re acknowledging this risk.

We use appropriate physical, technical, and organizational security safeguards to help protect your info from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure both during transmission and in storage. For example, we use computer systems with limited access in controlled facilities to store info. We also use technologies like encryption and hashing to protect some of the info we collect.

However, please note that no server, communications network, or data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. The Militum services are no exception. We can’t guarantee the security of any info transmitted through the Militum services and make no assurances about our ability to prevent any such loss or misuse.

It’s up to you whether you’d like to share info with us; if you do, you’re acknowledging that you’re doing so with this risk.

IX. UPDATES AND REVISIONS

Summary: We’ll make changes to this policy over time to keep you better informed about how we handle player info.

We’ll update our privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, our business operations, or any other reason we determine is necessary or appropriate. When we do make changes, we’ll update the “Last Modified” date at the top of the policy and post it to the Militum services. If we make material changes to the policy or the ways we process player info, we’ll provide you additional notice as well (such as by prominently posting a notice of the changes on the Militum services before they take effect or sending you a notification directly).
