Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how 81 Monkeys Game Studios Inc. (“81monkeys,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)
collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you access or use our website, play our
games, or otherwise engage with our products and services (collectively, the “Applications”).
By using the Applications, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and
agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of information as described herein.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
1.1 Information You Provide
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:
• Name and email address
• Correspondence details when you contact us for support or inquiries
• Information you submit through forms, support requests, feedback, or contest entries
We do not require users to create accounts directly with us on our website.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you access or use the Applications, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain
technical information, including:
• IP address and approximate geolocation derived from IP
• Browser type and version
• Operating system and device type
• Device identifiers (e.g., advertising IDs on mobile platforms)
• Referring URLs and navigation paths within the Applications
• Pages viewed, features used, and interactions with the Applications
• Session duration and timestamps
This information is used primarily for analytics, security, fraud prevention, and performance monitoring.
1.3 Information from Third-Party Platforms and Partners
Our games may be built using third-party game engines, SDKs, or middleware (such as Unity). Those
platforms may collect technical data about your use of our games subject to their own privacy policies.
Some of our games are developed in partnership with, or incorporate intellectual property from, third-
party rights holders. Where those partners operate their own data collection through our Applications,
this will be identified in the applicable game or supplement to this Policy, but otherwise any use of their
applications shall be governed by their respective privacy policies.
We may also receive information about you from analytics providers, advertising networks, and other
business partners who collect data on our behalf.
1.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and device advertising
identifiers) to operate and improve the Applications. These may include:
• Session cookies, which expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a set period
• Analytics cookies used to measure traffic and user behavior
You can disable or manage cookies through your browser settings, however, some features of the
Applications may not function properly as a result.
For users in the EEA, UK, or other jurisdictions that require consent-based cookie use, we will present a
cookie consent mechanism when required by applicable law.
2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use collected information for purposes including:
• Operating and maintaining the Applications and providing you with services you request
• Improving functionality, content, and user experience
• Responding to inquiries, support requests, and communications
• Monitoring usage, analytics, and performance
• Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud, security incidents, and technical issues
• Sending transactional communications (e.g., responses to your support requests)
• Complying with legal and regulatory obligations
• Enforcing our Terms of Use and other agreements
We do not use your personal information for targeted behavioral advertising on our website. However,
third-party advertising networks integrated into our games may collect data to deliver interest-based
ads. See Section 3.4 below.
3. SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
3.1 Service Providers
We may share personal information with trusted third-party service providers who perform services on
our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics, customer support, and payment processing. These
providers are authorized to use personal information only as necessary to provide services to us and are
required to maintain appropriate security measures.
3.2 Third-Party Game Platforms
Our Applications may be distributed or hosted on third-party platforms (such as Steam, the Apple App
Store, Google Play, or console storefronts). Any information collected by those platforms is governed by
their respective privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies
of any platform through which you access our games.
3.3 Third-Party IP Partners
Some of our games are developed in partnership with third-party rights holders who have licensed their
intellectual property to us. Where those partners have data processing relationships with users through
our Applications, we will identify this in the relevant game materials or a supplemental notice.
3.4 Advertising Networks
Certain games may include advertising from third-party advertising networks. Those networks may use
device advertising identifiers and similar technologies to deliver interest-based advertisements. You may
opt out of interest-based advertising through your device settings:
• iOS: Settings > Privacy > Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking
• Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization
We do not sell your personal information to third-party advertisers.
3.5 Corporate Transactions
If 81monkeys is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar corporate transaction, personal
information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via a prominent notice on
our website if your data becomes subject to a materially different privacy policy as a result.
3.6 Legal Obligations
We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or if we reasonably believe disclosure
is necessary to:
• comply with a legal obligation, court order, or regulatory requirement;
• protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users or the public; or
• detect, prevent, or address fraud, security issues, or technical problems.
3.7 Aggregated or De-Identified Data
We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify an
individual, for purposes such as industry research, analytics reporting, or improving our services.
4. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described
in this Privacy Policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
The specific retention period depends on the type of information and the purpose for which it was
collected. When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
5. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
• request access to personal information we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention obligations;
• object to or restrict certain processing activities;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (without affecting the lawfulness of
prior processing); or
• lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 12. We may need to
verify your identity before processing your request and will respond within the timeframe required by
applicable law.
6. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS (CCPA / CPRA)
This section applies to California residents and supplements the rest of this Privacy Policy.
We may collect limited categories of personal information in connection with your use of the
Applications, including identifiers (such as IP address and email address), internet or other electronic
activity information, and geolocation data inferred from IP. We use this information solely for the
purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
6.1 No Sale or Sharing for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral
advertising on our website. To the extent that third-party advertising networks in our games may
constitute “sharing” under the CPRA, California residents may opt out by using the device-level opt-out
controls described in Section 3.4 above.
6.2 CCPA Rights Requests
California residents may have the right to:
• Know — request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we
have collected about you in the preceding 12 months, and the categories of sources, business
purposes, and third parties involved.
• Delete: request deletion of personal information we have collected about you, subject to
applicable exceptions (e.g., legal obligations, security, fraud prevention).
• Correct: request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Opt Out: opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
• Non-Discrimination: not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights.
To submit a California rights request, please contact us at support@81monkeys.com with the subject

necessary.
7. EEA AND UK USERS (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the following additional
information applies.
7.1 Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on
include:
• Performance of a contract: to provide the Applications and services you request.
• Legitimate interests: for analytics, security, fraud prevention, and improving the Applications,
where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
• Consent: where we rely on consent (e.g., for non-essential cookies), which you may withdraw at
any time.
7.2 Your Rights Under GDPR
In addition to the rights described in Section 5, you have the right to data portability (to receive your
personal data in a structured, machine-readable format) and the right to lodge a complaint with your
local supervisory authority (e.g., the ICO in the UK or your national data protection authority in the EU).
7.3 Data Transfers
Your personal information may be transferred to and processed in Canada, the United States, or other
countries outside the EEA or UK. Where such transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as
Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to ensure your data receives an
adequate level of protection.
8. CANADIAN USERS (PIPEDA)
If you are located in Canada, we collect, use, and disclose personal information in accordance with the
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and applicable provincial
privacy legislation. You have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to
challenge its accuracy. Requests may be submitted using the contact information in Section 12.
9. DATA SECURITY
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect
personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no
method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot
guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use caution when sharing information online.
In the event of a data breach that is required to be reported under applicable law, we will notify
affected users and relevant authorities as required.
10. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
The Applications are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect
personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected
personal information from a child without appropriate verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to
delete such information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected
personal information from your child, please contact us at support@81monkeys.com.
Certain of our games may be rated or marketed in a manner that attracts younger audiences. For games
that are child-directed or mixed-audience, we take additional steps to limit data collection in compliance
with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and applicable platform requirements.
11. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
81monkeys is based in Canada. Your personal information may be processed in Canada or other
jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws
than your jurisdiction. By using the Applications, you acknowledge this transfer. For EEA and UK users,
we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms as described in Section 7.3.
12. EXTERNAL LINKS
The Applications may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the
privacy practices or content of those third parties, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. Your
interactions with third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to
review those policies before providing any personal information.
13. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies,
legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last
Updated” date at the top of this Policy. Where required by applicable law, we will provide more
prominent notice of material changes (such as via email or an in-application notice). Continued use of
the Applications after changes to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
