DIG-IT may use ad network providers, ad exchanges, and ad servers (“Advertising Partners”) to help present advertisements in our Games or run advertising campaigns on third party games and platforms. These Advertising Partners use certain technologies for presenting, better targeting, and measuring the effectiveness of their advertisements, using data gathered over time and across their networks of games to determine or predict the characteristics and preferences of their audiences (“Advertising Data”). DIG-IT processes such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our Advertising Partners may act as a data processor or data controller with regards to the Advertising Data, depending on the scope of their services.

The transaction data may include your personal details, your payment card details, and the transaction details. Whenever you buy something in our Games (e.g., a virtual game item), the information that you provide to the PSP is subject to their privacy policies, not ours. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract.
