This Piggy Panda privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is applicable to the data that is obtained from you when you user our website thepiggypanda.com (the “Website”) and our mobile applications named Piggy Panda (the “Apps”) (collectively, “Piggy Panda”).
Our Privacy Policy describes what personal and non-personal information we collect from you, how we obtain it, how we secure it, how we share it, how you can access and modify it, and how you can restrict how we share it. The Privacy Policy also explains some of your legal rights regarding your personal data.
- ‘NON-PERSONAL DATA’ is information that is in no way personally identifiable.
- ‘PERSONAL DATA’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data.
- ‘GDPR’ is the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679).
- ‘COPPA’ is the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule.
- ‘CCPA’ is the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018.
When you use Piggy Panda, we may collect personal data from you. For the sake of public accountability, we describe in detail what personal information we collect and have access to, why we use them, and the legal bases on which we treat your personal data.
When you use the Piggy Panda we use such data for the following purposes:
- To approve your age;
- To save your game progress;
- To maintain your user account;
- Allow you to play the game from multiple devices;
- To send promotional emails (if you consent to them); and
- To reply to support emails.
We rely on three legal bases: "performance of a contract with you," "your consent" (for promotional emails), and "pursuit of our legitimate business interests" (i.e., to ensure security, analyze and grow Piggy Panda).
Within our app, some of the games may capture Personal Data of children in the form of Screenshots of the gameplay like in our coloring game (if the user wants to save their work). However, these Data attributes are locally stored within the User’s device and cannot be accessed by us.
Parents may the personal information about their child collected by this application - if any- outlined in the rest of this policy, ask for the deletion and request any further collection or use to be omitted by contacting Our Privacy Team at “feedback@thepiggypanda.com”
We work with ad network AdMob (Google) to serve ads in our apps. These networks are restricted from tracking users and serving behavioral ads. AdMob (Google) Privacy Policy: http://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

A third-party analytics service provided by Google LLC, which gathers the following technical personal and non-personal data from you:
- IP address;
- Number of sessions;
- Session duration;

- Install source; and
- IDFA.
- Analyze the technical aspects of your use of our games;

The legal basis that we rely on when processing the above-mentioned data is “pursuing our legitimate business interests” (i.e., to analyze, grow, and protect Piggy Panda).
Google only allows us to choose SDKs that are children safe, and the above mentioned SDKs are allowed in our apps. If they were not allowed, we would not have been allowed to publish our game in the Kids Category
We have access to your name, (ii) your email account, and (iii) any other data you choose to include in your message when you send us an email. We use your personal information to respond to your queries and deliver the information you've requested. The legal bases on which we treat such personal data are "pursuing our legitimate business interests" (i.e., to grow and promote Piggy Panda) and "your consent" (for optional personal data that you decide, at your sole discretion, to provide us).

Piggy Panda contains links to other websites. These websites are not under our control, and our Privacy Statement does not apply to them. These sites will almost certainly have their own privacy policies. These websites are not under our control, and we simply provide links to them for your convenience. You acknowledge and accept that your use of and access to these websites is at your sole risk. It is your duty to read these websites' privacy policies to see how they handle your personal information.

Piggy Panda features Apps and Games that are designed for children. We have gathered as little personal data on children as possible. We do not collect personal data from children under the age of consent or who are unable to provide valid consent in accordance with the COPPA or GDPR. We recognise that a child who is not of legal age to agree may attempt to access Piggy Panda and provide consent where necessary (e.g., for our use of non-essential cookies). As a result, all App users are required to provide their age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of consent (e.g., 13 in the United States, 16 in the European Union). Simply notify us if you are a parent or guardian and believe your child is using Piggy Panda without your permission. Before removing any information, we may ask for proof of identity to prevent harmful removal. If we detect a youngster using Piggy Panda without permission from their parents, we will erase their information as soon as possible.
We created Piggy Panda with industry-standard security features and authentication tools to guarantee the protection of your personal data. Technical and physical precautions are in place to protect your personal data, both by us and by third-party service providers. Our security precautions include secured networks, SSL protocol, strong passwords, limited access to your personal data by our staff, and anonymization of personal data (when possible).
We cannot guarantee the security of data transmission or the avoidance of loss or misuse of your personal data due to the nature of the Internet. We strongly advise you not to share your Piggy Panda passwords with anybody.
The personal data we gather from you may be stored, processed, and transferred to any country in which we or our data processors operate. The European Union has found that the United States and a few other nations do not guarantee an appropriate degree of personal data protection, according to Article 45 of the GDPR.
Derogations, as specified in GDPR Article 49, are used in specific instances. If such a transfer is necessary, we will make certain that the country in where the recipient third party is located offers an acceptable level of protection for your personal data, or we will enter into an agreement with the respective third party that does (e.g., a data processing agreement based on pre-approved standard contractual clauses).
We reserve the right to amend, modify, vary or update this Privacy Notice, at Our sole discretion from time to time, as and when the need arises. The most recently published Privacy Notice shall prevail over any of its previous versions. You are encouraged to check this Privacy Notice from time to time to stay informed of any changes.
The children's privacy policy will be updated upon important changes in the app's data handling practices
