The Personal Data collected or processed during these interactions may vary based on what you choose to share with us, but it will generally include your username, password, email address, social media profile information, and contacts (including friends you have invited to the Service), and contacts stored on your device (in order to display them to you for social features).

HOW WE USE PERSONAL DATA
We use Personal Data to provide the Service and allow you to play our augmented reality games, including tracking the activities you take while playing games in the Service to provide you with gameplay experiences based on the actions you have taken.

Marketing. We may contact you to provide information we believe will be of interest to you. For instance, if you elect to provide your email address, we may use that information to send you promotional information about our products and services (such as to let you know that a game you are interested in is available for download). If we do, where required by law, for example if you are in the EU, we will only send you such emails if you consent to us doing so at the time you provide us with your Personal Data. You may opt out of receiving emails by following the instructions contained in each promotional email we send you or by contacting us. If you unsubscribe from our marketing lists, you will no longer receive marketing communications, but we will continue to contact you regarding our Sites and Services and to respond to your requests.
HOW WE SHARE AND DISCLOSE PERSONAL DATA
In certain circumstances we may share your Personal Data with certain categories of third parties without further notice to you, unless required by the law, as set forth below:
We keep Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, while we have a legitimate business need to do so, or as required by law (e.g. for tax, legal, accounting or other purposes), whichever is the longer.
If you have elected to receive marketing communications from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences until you opt out of receiving these communications and in accordance with our policies.
To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Data, we will consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we use your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
