Ultimate Studio Pty Ltd – Privacy Policy

At Ultimate Studio Pty Ltd (Australian Business Number: 98 624 326 389) (defined here as ‘We’, ‘Us’ or ‘Our’), We recognise the importance of your privacy and understand the concerns surrounding security of personal information.

Our Privacy Policy sets out how We collect, use, and disclose “personal information” and other “non-personal information” We may have gathered about you in relation to Our title ‘Hot Lap League (“Game”, which term includes all versions and ports on any platform, and Our Website).

This policy will let you know:

What information (often referred to as ‘data’) is collected from you by Us;
How your information is used;
With whom your information may be shared;
How you can access, update, or delete your information.
We will comply with all relevant and applicable legislative requirements, and, in the event of any inconsistency, the legislative requirements will override the provisions of this document.

How do We use the data We collect?

No matter how We come to collect your data, We will always treat it in accordance with this document, and any applicable legislation.

Children’s Privacy

We do not collect children’s data specifically, however children may use Our Game without Our knowledge. We limit Our data collection and only use persistent identifiers to support the internal operations of Our games, and always in accordance with the terms of this privacy policy.

What types of data are there, and what do we collect?

Data collected can be personal to you, or non-personal. Sometimes data that doesn’t appear to be personal can become personal if certain other facts are learned.

Data can be collected in three ways:

A. Data collected automatically;
B. Data you provide Us; and
C. Data collected by Our partners.

Our basis for collecting these types of data is a “legitimate interest” under GDPR (Global Data Protection Regulation) and “to support internal operations of the game” under COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act).

Any data collected is done solely for internal uses that are reasonably and directly related to your relationship with Us, in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

A. Data collected automatically

Certain data is collected automatically. This includes:

Your device identification number, and data about your device, such as device name and operating system, and language;
Data about your use of Our Game, by which we mean gameplay data that is for data saving/loading game files.
Your IP addresses, and mobile device identifiers (such as your device ID, advertising ID, MAC address, IMEI). Please note, there are ways to prevent this, which are outlined at ‘Third Party Service Providers’ below.

B. Data you provide Us
We collect and store your email where you nominate to specifically allow Our games to collect your player name and your email. We will also keep your contact details if you contact Us for a particular purpose.

Personally identifiable data will only otherwise be actively collected by Us in very specific circumstances, such as if you contact Us directly.

What about Sensitive Information?

Sensitive information includes information about such things as an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional body, criminal records or health information.

We will not attempt to obtain or record any sensitive information.

Collection of other ‘Non-Personal’ Information

Some non-personal information may be gathered while you use Our Game. Non-personal information is general, non-identifiable and anonymous information that is gathered for statistical, analytical and research purposes such as the improvement of our games (for example, bug fixes).

Our Game may include services from third-party providers such as functionalities through application programming interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs). These third-party providers may access your data and operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control how they interact with you and you should ensure that you consent to the terms of use and privacy policies offered by the third party services before providing them with your information.
