Last updated: June 22, 2021
We have created this Privacy Policy to let You know what Personal Information We collect when You use the Services (defined below), why We collect this Personal Information and how We use the collected Personal Information. Your use of the Services is governed by the Terms of Service and the defined terms used in this Privacy Policy shall have the same meaning as specified in the Terms of Service.
1. ABOUT THIS PRIVACY POLICY (the “Privacy Policy” or the “Policy”)
1.1. The Terms of Service represents an agreement between you (“You” or “Your”) and Gala Sports Technology Limited (“Gala”, “We”, “Us” or “Our”). This Policy, however, sets out the ways that We use the personal information which we may gather in providing you with games, software, updates, add-ons (including virtual goods and virtual currency) and services that are offered to you by us as well as any Gala website which you access to avail of any of the above (collectively, the “Services”). We are not a “business” as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), and therefore, we are not required to comply with the CCPA requirements at this time.
1.2. References to Gala in these Terms shall include any Gala affiliates which shall include subsidiaries, parent companies and any other entities under common ownership. Where you receive or participate in a Service provided directly by Gala, Gala is the data controller of your personal data.
1.3. Our Services may be accessed through one or more third party websites, services or platforms (such as Facebook or the App Store). In addition, payments are processed through third party payment processors (for example, through a third-party service or platform which you are using to access the Services, such as Google’s or Apple’s app store). Our Services may also contain links to other websites and services. Any information that you provide on or to a third-party website or service is provided directly to the owner of the website or service and is subject to that party’s privacy policy. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to such websites or services and we’re not responsible for the content, privacy or security practices and policies of those websites or services. To protect your personal information, we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of other websites and services that you access.
1.4. This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with Our Terms of Service and any additional applicable terms brought to your attention when You access the Services. Where you access and use the Services, you will also be bound by our Terms of Service.
1.5. We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time and You shall be notified of any such amendment via the platform through which You access the Services and/or by Us publishing the modified Privacy Policy on any platform through which You access the Services. We recommend that You revisit this Privacy Policy on a regular basis. For the avoidance of doubt, Your continued use of the Services will be governed by the then-current Privacy Policy.
1.6. If You have any questions regarding the Privacy Policy, visit our Support Centre at www.sfygc.cn.
