Veck io is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors who use our site and applications, including older users above the age of 13 (“General Users”) and younger users under the age of 13 (“Children Users”), together the “Users”. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) is designed to provide transparency into Veck io's privacy practices and principles for information that we collect from General Users through our web platform and other general-audience sites and applications (the “Site”). The Site is owned and operated by us (“we”, “our”, or “us”).
By using the Site, you agree to observe and be bound by this Privacy Policy and you consent to the processing, collection, use, and disclosure of your information and data in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please do not use the Site if you do not agree to this Privacy Policy. If you are a parent or legal guardian, by allowing your child(ren) to use the Site, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy on your child's behalf.

All features on the Veck io Site are available without the need for registration by Users. No personal data (such as email addresses and phone numbers) are requested from users. Veck io may collect certain electronic data (such as the User's IP address, cookies or device ID).
When a User provides personal data on any third party website or application, the processing of such personal data will be governed by any privacy statement applicable to that site/application. In any event, Veck io shall not act as the Data Controller or the Processor of such personal data.
Our servers automatically recognize visitors' domain names and IP addresses (the number assigned to computers on the Internet). The Site may gather anonymous “traffic data” that does not personally identify you, but that data may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the services we offer.
When your computer or mobile device contacts our web servers (for example, when you visit the Site), our web servers automatically collect usage information. Such usage information includes information about how our visitors use and navigate the Site. It can include the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, browser type, and referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting our Site.
Traffic information may also be shared with business partners and advertisers on an aggregate and anonymous basis. More information about sharing information will follow in part 7. In addition, Advertisers on the Site might receive information gathered by cookies for targeted advertising purposes. Further information regarding the use of cookies can be found below.
Veck io may retain users' data for the following purposes:
We will retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary in relation to the purposes for which this data was collected.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the processing of personal data by data controllers other than Veck io, such as providers of third party games available on the Site. The relevant provider of such a third party game is responsible for ensuring that any processing of personal data by them in the context of a game complies with applicable data protection laws.
Generally, Veck io does not permit third party content providers to collect personal data about Users. However, if any personal data will be collected by a third party content provider, Veck io will contractually require that the processing of personal data by them in the context of a game complies with applicable data protection laws.
Like many websites and applications, this Site makes use of “cookies” which are saved on the user's computer. In addition, third party networks serving advertisements on the Site (the “Advertisers”) might use cookies. Cookies are a way of remembering who you are. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer's hard drive or stored temporarily in your computer's memory. There are two kinds of cookies: those that are “session” oriented and those that are “persistent”. Session cookies delete from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies retain information for later use tomorrow, next week, next month, or whenever they are set to expire.
Veck io and its Advertisers may use cookies, or similar technologies to enhance and personalize your experience on the Site, including: to operate and improve offerings on the Site; to help authenticate you when you are on the Site; to remember your preferences; to present and help measure and research the effectiveness of our offerings; to customize the content provided to you through the Site; and, to show targeted ads.
Users can refuse the saving of cookies or delete them by adjusting the browser settings on his or her computer. To learn more on how to adjust the settings of your internet browser, we recommend the user visit the website of the browser's vendor. The user can also decide to remove installed cookies:

Veck io may share your persistent identifiers with third parties such as business partners under the following circumstances:
Veck io may work with third parties that are based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), and may transfer data about you to the countries in which these parties reside. Whenever we share personal data originating in the EU with an entity outside of the EEA, we will do so on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses, with your consent, or because such transfer is necessary for performance of a contract.

We recognize the importance of safeguarding the privacy of children and encourage parents to check and monitor their children's use of online activities regularly. We do not process personal data of children under the minimum age limit prescribed by the legislation in individual jurisdictions for behavioral advertisement.
Our Site supports and complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). We will not request any personal information from Children Users. There is no registration required for the Site and any advertising shown on the Site is age-appropriate. The Site will not show behaviorally targeted ads or allow third parties to track the activity of Children Users for that purpose.
The Site may collect and use IP addresses and other persistent identifiers, including cookies, from Children Users, but only for purposes of supporting our internal operations, such as to help us: identify whether you are a child or adult for data protection purposes; maintain or analyze the functioning of the Site; perform network communications; authenticate users of, or personalize the content on, the Site; and serve contextual advertising and cap the frequency of advertising.
Veck io is not targeted towards children under the age of 13 and it will not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a Child User, you should only use the Site with the permission of a parent or legal guardian.

If you are an individual in the European Union (EU), we collect and process data about you only where we have legal bases for doing so under applicable EU laws. This means we collect and process your data only when:
Where we rely on our legitimate interests to process your personal data, you have the right to object. Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw or decline consent at any time. If you wish to withdraw your consent or have questions about the legal basis for our processing, please contact us at [email protected].
Veck io makes certain choices available to you when it comes to your personal data. We will respond to all requests within a reasonable timeframe. If our full response will ever take more than a month due to complexity or scope, we will notify you of this and keep you updated. We may request more information to confirm your identity before acting on any request.
If any request made under this section is clearly unfounded or excessive, we may reject the request or require a reasonable fee to honor the request. If we decide to reject your request, we will inform you of the reasons and provide information on other possible remedies.
