Dear angler,

In accordance with the new EU Data Protection Directive (GDPR), we would like to inform you about the ways in which we store, process or pass on the data of Fishing Friends players to third parties.

In principle, we only collect data that is necessary for the operation of the game or that helps us to improve Fishing Friends.

Data storage/processing

In order for you to play this game, we need different data from you. Some can be directly linked to your person, such as your username or player ID, and other data we need to make the game more fun for everyone. This data is all stored on a server/computer in Europe.
• Player ID and Username of the player on the respective platform used to log in to the game (Facebook, Steam, Apple, Google, Amazon and possibly others)
• Reference to the Profile picture of the player on the respective platform (e.g. Facebook)
• The currency in which the player makes purchases on the respective platform (e.g. on Steam and Facebook)
• Player profile with XP points, level and inventory in the game (items, goldfish, cash)
• History of all fish and bycatch caught and equipment used
• Current and past club memberships
• History of all purchases in the game incl. Payment IDs for verification with the respective platform
• Ranking in leaderboards
• Winnings in fishing competitions and the daily login bonus
• Rewards for the advertisements (on mobile devices)
• Trophies earned in the game
• Deals made with the fishmongers in the game
• Friends on Facebook, who are already playing the game (!)
• The time at which you agreed to this consent to data processing

We are obliged to delete unused data records. This means that we completely delete profiles of players who have not been logged into the game for more than 3 years. Any inventory of items, progress, goldfish or cash in the game will also be lost and cannot be restored.

Transfer of data to third parties and transfer of your data to a country outside of Europe, e.g. USA, China (third country)

1.) For the analysis and improvement of the gaming experience, actions within the game are recorded and forwarded pseudonymized to the company GameAnalytics (based in London, Copenhagen and Beijing) and OneSignal (based in San Mateo, USA). The game data transmitted in this way is used for analysis and marketing purposes. No direct reference to natural persons is made here - we do not pass on any contact information.

2.) In the event of technical errors, data that led to the error that occurred is transmitted to Rollbar, Inc. in the USA. This information is summarized there and made available to us for analysis. It is very likely that the player ID and, if applicable, other data mentioned under Data storage/processing will also be transmitted as part of this data.

Declaration of consent

Since we can only operate the game on the basis of the above-mentioned data storage, your consent to these terms is required to enter the game.
If you do not agree to the terms and conditions, we regret that we cannot allow you to play this game.
You can delete your player account at any time via the Settings menu and thus revoke your consent to further data processing at the same time. However, we may continue to use the data that we have received up to this point, e.g. to avoid having to change the high score list. If you have not logged in for 3 years, your data will be deleted, e.g. any inventory of items, progress, goldfish or cash in the game will also be lost and cannot be restored.

If you have not yet reached the age of 16, you need the consent of your parents - they must accept this declaration of consent in your place. Please take this requirement seriously.
