    3. What is our legal basis for the processing
    For both analytics and advertising we base the processing of personal data on the legitimate interest of PIXOWL, INC.. For analytics, this is our ability to analyze how players progress through our games to make them better, and to know our player-base on an aggregate level. For advertising, this is our ability to be able to off-set development costs and risk with advertising income.
    For the third-parties we use, their legitimate interest is to be able to offer us their services, and for advertising third-parties and advertisers to be able to show you advertising.

    5. How long and where do we store data
    We store the personal data that we collect for up to 5 years, and only aggregate data after that time. Aggregation data means that we can no longer look at data for individual players.

    When a third-party service provider is a controller, they may keep data as well, either for a shorter or longer period.

    6. What safeguards have we taken to protect data
    Taking into account the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing, we have taken the following technical and organizational measures:

    · Access to our database and user accounts with third-party service providers is protected with access control.

    · Access to the database is limited, not all staff in our organization have full access.
