Nametests Instant Game data processing description

I) Playing the Game

If you give permission and play the game, we get access to the following of your data provided by the Facebook Instant Game SDK:

• Player ID (app-scoped ID)
• Your Profile Picture
• First Name (Player’s public first name)
  
• Locale (public language the player uses within Facebook)

You can remove the Game in your settings on Facebook at any given time: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=instant_games

Then we don’t have access to the data mentioned above anymore.

In order to generate your individual quiz game result image we process the data mentioned above and create an image composition for you. This quiz game result image is displayed on your specific device within the game played only. It is not stored on our servers. The same applies also to text possibly entered by you, your answer choices - this data is not saved on our side, it’s only processed for the result image composition for you.

If you actively decide to share this image on Facebook (e.g. by clicking the share button), it is sent to Facebook where it is going to be part of the shared feed posting.

Only you decide who is allowed to see it through the settings within the FB share dialogue:

We have no access to these shared images within Facebook.

You can remove all of these postings/shared images you made easily yourself at any given time directly on Facebook:

For this use-case described above (playing the game) no user-data is stored on our servers. We also don’t share this data with third parties.

II) Optional Messenger BOT subscription:

We only store data if user subscribes to our optional messenger bot service:

This means if you give this permission and turn messages on, we can send messages to you with game updates and game information. For these purposes we store the following information:

• Sender ID (Messenger bot ID)
• Player ID
• Player’s public first name
• Locale (public language)
• Last time active in game
• Number of messages sent to player
• Last message sent to player at

This data contains a retention policy, that means that data for players that don’t interact with the game for more than 10 days will automatically be deleted. In addition, users can request deletion at any given time by email and/or our contact form and, after having removed the game here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=instant_games&section=active , also via requesting here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=instant_games&section=removed

If  you want to use the game but want to unsubscribe from the messenger bot you can also easily turn off messages by clicking on "Options" (usually a little gear symbol) and then "Turn off messages", please see this screenshot for example:

In addition, we would like to point out that we use the information only if user gives permission and solely to create the game results and, if we store user data, only to the extent that this is necessary to send messages to the user as described above.

We do not process or transmit the data for purposes other than those stated above. This is monitored by our external data protection officer and our services are in full compliance with the regulations of GDPR.
