Iconobrain (“Iconobrain”) develops and publishes a variety of game titles for mobile devices (each game title, a “Title”).
Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways:
Directly – from your device through the Titles. For this purpose, we engage with analytics partners that collect the information on our behalf.
Indirectly – through our advertising and analytics partners. We collect information as described in this privacy policy for Iconobrain’s own purposes, as a data controller under data protection law where relevant.
Scope
This privacy policy describes Iconobrain’s privacy practices with respect to information it processes in relation to the Titles. This privacy policy does not govern the use of Iconobrain’s website and any additional services.
The Titles are available to users all around the world. Accordingly, throughout the document, we try to harmonize our approach and the language of the privacy policy as much as possible. However, sometimes we refer to specific laws that require further disclosures. For example, whenever you see throughout the policy the annotation “The GDPR angle,” it means that the purpose of such a section is to satisfy the transparency requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), and therefore it applies only to personal data (as defined by the GDPR) associated with devices located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland. If you are a resident of California, please see “The CCPA Angle” for information related to the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”). “The CCPA Angle” sections apply only to “personal information” that is subject to the CCPA. For purposes of the CCPA, this Privacy Policy serves as both the Privacy Policy and Notice at Collection of Personal Information.
Information We Collect
Information collected directly from you through our SDK, and information provided to us by a third-party ad network (“Ad Network Information”)
- Identifiers: Your Advertising ID, IP address, and information about your browser settings. The term Advertising ID refers to the Google Advertising ID on Android devices, and ID For Advertising (“IDFA”) or ID For Vendor (“IDFV”) on iOS devices. The Advertising ID is a resettable persistent identifier generated by Android or iOS that allows companies to recognize your device across non-affiliated apps for purposes such as frequency capping, attribution, fraud detection, and personalized advertising. You can find additional information about how to limit our use of your Advertising ID under “How to Control Your Information.”
- General technical information about your device: Your time zone, the amount of free memory on your device, the name and version of the Title, battery status (on Android devices only), limit ad tracking status, operating system name and version, timestamp, the name of the manufacturer of the device, the language of the operating system, the name of the mobile carrier, and internet connection type (e.g., WiFi).
- Your activity in connection with the Title: Transactions and in-app purchases made in the Title, your progress or movement in the Title, and in-game events.
Information received from advertising and analytics partners
- The total amount of revenues received as a result of advertising served to a specific device ID
How We Use the Information We Collect

The GDPR Angle

In addition, we process personal data for the purpose of preventing fraud or potentially illegal activities, serving contextual advertising, conducting marketing campaigns, and conducting research, based on our legitimate interests. We, or our advertising partners, may process your personal data for the purpose of serving you with personalized advertising or conducting marketing campaigns personalized based on your interactions with our Titles if we, or our advertising partners, obtained your consent. We may process your personal data for compliance with applicable legal obligations.

How to Control Your Information
Personalized Ads We collect and transfer your information to other entities (including our corporate affiliates and non-affiliates such as advertisers, other ad networks, and third parties acting on behalf of these types of entities) that use the information described in this Privacy Policy for serving you with personalized ads (i.e., ads that are based on your interests or profile).
Opt out from personalized ads If you do not want us to transfer your information to third parties for personalized ads, please follow the instructions below:
iOS devices: Go to Settings > Privacy > Advertising > enable Limit Ad Tracking. Please note that if you use more than one device, you need to opt out separately on each device.
Android devices: Follow the instructions at: Google Ads Help. Please note that if you use more than one device, you need to opt out separately on each device.
Scope of the opt-out Note that if you reset your advertising ID through your device’s platform settings, you should follow the steps above to reset your opt-out choice. In addition, opting out may not stop data from being collected from your device or transferred for other non-personalized advertising purposes such as optimization, reporting, frequency capping, internal operations, and fraud prevention.
