Blueline Studios Inc. (“Blueline Studios”, “we”, “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your information. This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect, use and disclose your personal information and how this personal information can be consulted and corrected when necessary. This policy explains how we handle your information in relation to Apple Arcade title(s).

This policy ONLY relates to Blueline Studios’ Apple Arcade games. For our Standard Privacy Policy please see https://www.bluelinestudios.co/privacy-policy which will cover our other games and platforms, website(s), GDPR, Contact and Support Centre forms, Job Applications, Data Sharing, Data Retention, International Data Transfer, Guidelines for Children and Your Rights about your data.

1. Collection of Information

Our game will request player’s permission first before using any player’s in-game data. The BlueLine game server uses the player's:

• in-game player id and token generated by Apple for authentication in order to access our online game services such as question and multiplayer game services.

• in-game input (such as choice of answers and use of owned cards) for participating in the multiplayer online games.

• In-game question reports to improve the quality of our question database.

When a game session ends, any shared player’s in-game data will be scheduled for removal.

Our game also collects anonymous usage data for improving our game. Our game will request player’s permission first before uploading any anonymous usage data. The data collected is not used for tracking purposes (meaning the data is not linked with other third-party data about the user or device for advertising or advertising measurement, or shared with a data broker), and is not used for third-party advertising or marketing purposes.

Our game will also send data to Apple’s service for 

• saving player’s data on device and at Apple’s iCloud service

• tracking player’s Achievements and Leaderboard position at Apple’s Game Center service 

• Matchmaking of partner and/or opponent for multiplayer online games.

If you wish to delete saved game data locally and at iCloud, you must reset the saved game slots from the settings menu within the game, and delete the Blueline game from your device. If you wish Game Center to not collect such data, you must sign out of the Apple Game Center, located in Apple Settings. 

Blueline does receive from Apple non-identifying usage data to provide usage information through Apple App Analytics.  

If you voluntarily provide information to Blueline for use, such as contact information for game support, the information provided is covered under our standard privacy policy located at: https://www.bluelinestudios.co/privacy-policy.

Blueline does not disclose any information to third parties outside of the Apple Arcade service.

Note that Apple may have their own privacy policies around any non-identifiable data that we provide to them.

Under the GDPR, you may be entitled to additional rights, including: (i) the right to withdraw consent to processing where consent is the basis of processing; (ii) the right to access your personal information and certain other supplementary information, under certain conditions; (iii) the right to object to unlawful data processing, under certain conditions; (iv) the right to erasure of personal information about you, under certain conditions; (v) the right to demand that we restrict processing of your personal information, under certain conditions, if you believe we have exceeded the legitimate basis for processing, processing is no longer necessary, are processing, or believe your personal information is inaccurate; (vi) the right to data portability of personal data concerning you that you provided us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, under certain conditions; (vii) the right object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you, under certain conditions; (viii) the right to lodge a complaint with data protection authorities.

If we learn that Personal Information has been collected via reviews, support or through the Website from persons under 16 years of age and without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under 16 years of age has provided Personal Information, then you may alert us as set forth in the “Contact” section and request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our systems.
