INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at StoriePlay, LLC (“StoriePlay”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. In this Privacy Policy, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it and what rights you have in relation to it. We hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important. If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at info@storieplay.com.
This Privacy Policy (the Privacy Policy) describes how StoriePlay collects, uses and discloses information about you as well as your rights and choices about that use and disclosure, and applies to your use of the storieplay.com website (the Sites), the mobile apps published by StoriePlay (the Apps) (in this Privacy Policy, the Sites, Apps and Programs are referred to collectively as the Platforms). This Privacy Policy also applies to any offline location that makes this Privacy Policy available to you. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection, use or disclosure of information through any apps for which StoriePlay is not the publisher.
By using the Platforms or interacting with us offline, you signify your assent to our Privacy Policy, the collection, use and disclosure practices, and other activities described therein. If there are any terms in this Privacy Policy that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our Platforms immediately.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Privacy Policy. Please check the Privacy Policy each time you use our Platforms to ensure you are aware of any changes in our privacy practices. Our Privacy Policy will indicate the date it was last updated. Your continued use of our Platforms will signify your acceptance of the changes to our Privacy Policy. If there is a material change in the way that we use your information under this Privacy Policy, we will notify you via email of the relevant changes or provide other prominent notice on our Sites and/or Apps.
HOW DOES STORIEPLAY HANDLE CHILDREN’S INFORMATION?
A. Children’s Use of the Platforms
StoriePlay has developed its Platforms to be an enjoyable experience for users of all ages. Some parts of the Platforms are primarily targeted at children, such as many of our Apps, while others are intended for parents, such as our Sites and Programs. Whenever we refer to children in this Privacy Policy, we mean children under the age of 13, unless otherwise indicated.
StoriePlay complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), a U.S. law designed to protect the online privacy of children. StoriePlay takes precautions designed to protect the online privacy of children, and we encourage parents to take an active role in protecting their children’s privacy by discussing this Privacy Policy with them. If you are a data subject in Europe or a California resident and have a child under the age of 16, please see the What Should I Know as a Data Subject in Europe? and What Should I Know as a California Resident? sections below.
If you have any questions or comments about how we treat children’s information or our compliance with COPPA, please contact us as set out in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? section. If you would like to learn more about COPPA, you can refer to the Children’s Privacy section of the Federal Trade Commission’s website.
B. Sites and Programs
StoriePlay does not knowingly collect personal information as defined by COPPA from children through its Sites or Programs. If we learn or have reason to suspect that we have collected personal information from a child in violation of COPPA, we will promptly delete it. Parents should note that if they provide information about their child through a Site or Program, COPPA will not apply to that information.
C. Apps
- List of Child Directed Apps. For a list of Apps that StoriePlay treats as being primarily directed to children under COPPA (Child Directed Apps), please contact us as set out in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? Section.
- Collection, Use, and Sharing of Information from Children. We collect, use and share personal information from children through our Apps as follows:
- Registration. For our Child Directed Apps, StoriePlay treats all users as children and does not screen users for age or offer registration.
- Email Contact. On occasion, in order to respond to a question or request from a child through a Child Directed App, StoriePlay may receive or need to ask for the child’s online contact information, such as an email address. StoriePlay will delete this information immediately after responding to the question or request.
- Photos, Videos, and Audio. Our Child Directed Apps may request access to the device’s camera, photo album, or microphone in order to provide in-game functionality. For example, a child may record a video or take a photo of themselves dancing next to a StoriePlay character and save that image to their local device. StoriePlay does not store or share any photos, videos, or audio files that contain children’s images or voices through our Child Directed Apps. All photos, videos, and audio files are stored locally on the device only.
- Local Notifications. Our Child Directed Apps may allow children to receive local notifications on their devices. This means that the Child Directed App may send notifications to the device at preset times, but will not collect any personal information in connection with the notifications. These notifications may be turned off at any time through device settings.
- Persistent Identifiers. StoriePlay collects, uses and shares persistent identifiers, such as device identifiers or IP addresses, through our Child Directed Apps as permitted by COPPA and other applicable data protection laws. This information may be collected by StoriePlay or another entity providing a service to StoriePlay.
- In-App Advertising. Some of our Child Directed Apps incorporate advertising serving technology offered by our service providers, which enable advertising to be temporarily uploaded into the game and replaced while the user plays. The data collected for this purpose may include persistent identifiers solely for the purpose of providing support for the internal operations of the Child Directed App as permitted by COPPA and other applicable data protection laws, such as allowing our service providers to calculate the number of views, cap the frequency of ads and serve ads in a format that fits the device. Please note that while our Child Directed Apps may contain advertisements about StoriePlay or products and services of another entity, we prohibit behavioral advertising to children in our Child Directed Apps or through data collected from our Child Directed Apps.
Subject to our compliance with COPPA and other applicable data protection laws, StoriePlay may collect, use, share and otherwise process personal information from children in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also seek verifiable parental consent as necessary to comply with COPPA and other applicable data protection laws. In either case, we will not collect more personal information from children than is reasonably necessary to participate in our Child Directed Apps. - Security. We take reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of children’s personal information collected through Child Directed Apps, including by taking reasonable steps to release such information only to parties capable of maintaining its confidentiality and security. We retain children’s personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, and delete such information using reasonable measures to protect against its unauthorized access or use.
- Parental Choices and Controls. As part of the verifiable parental consent process, where applicable, parents and legal guardians will have the choice of consenting to our collection and internal use of their child’s personal information but prohibiting us from disclosing that information to other entities (except to the extent such disclosure is integral to our Apps). Additionally, any parent has the right to: (1) review, correct, or delete the child’s personal information; and/or (2) discontinue further collection, use, or sharing of the child’s personal information. Please note that exercising these choices may restrict your child’s ability to access certain functionality of the Apps. To exercise any of these choices, please contact us as set out in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? section.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that we have collected your child’s personal information in violation of COPPA, please contact us as set out in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? Section, and we will remove such information to the extent required by COPPA.
WHAT INFORMATION DOES STORIEPLAY COLLECT?
A. Information You Provide
StoriePlay collects information that you provide on or through the Platforms, including information you provide when you play our games, access our content, participate in a Promotion, subscribe to our newsletters, join our Programs, apply for a job, or contact customer support. We use service providers to collect information.
The information we collect includes information that can be used to identify a specific individual (whether alone or in combination). Some examples of information you provide include the following:
- Contact data, including your first and last name, email address, home address, and phone number.
- Demographic data, including your age, gender, preferred language, country and zip code or postal code.
- If you are a parent or legal guardian, information about your child such as your child’s first name and last name initial, year of birth, gender, and country of residence.
- Content, including content within any messages you send to us (such as provided in surveys or questions to customer support).
- Resume Data, including your employment history, transcript, writing samples, and references as necessary to consider you for a job opening if you submit an application to us.
You may choose to voluntarily submit other information to us through the Platforms that we do not request, and, in such instances, you are solely responsible for such information.
B. Information Collected Automatically
StoriePlay automatically collects information about your use of the Platforms to help us improve our services or for other purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. We automatically collect the following categories of information:
- Service Use Data, including information about online activity such as feature usage, game play statistics and in-app purchases.
- Device Connectivity and Configuration Data, including information about hardware, software, platform, media, connection data, your internet service provider, and your device’s regional and language settings. This includes device identifiers such as IP address, MAC address, and Ad Id (e.g., IDFA or AAID).
- Location Data, including location derived from an IP address or data that indicates a city or postal code level. We do not collect precise location data.
We use various current and later developed technologies to automatically collect information (Tracking Technologies), including the following:
- Log Files, which are files that record events that occur in connection with your use of the Platforms.
- Cookies, which are small data files stored on your device that act as a unique tag to identify your browser. Use of cookies makes web-surfing easier by performing certain functions such as saving language preferences and maintaining your sessions while you are on our Sites. The cookies used on our Sites contain information used for site navigation and analytics and are used in combination with pixels, as further discussed below.
- Pixels (also known as web beacons), which is code embedded in a website, video, email, or advertisement that sends information about your use to a server. There are various types of pixels, including image pixels (which are small graphic images) and JavaScript pixels (which contains JavaScript code). When you access a website, video, email, or advertisement that contains a pixel, the pixel may permit us or another entity to drop or read cookies on your browser. Pixels are used in combination with cookies to track activity by a particular browser on a particular device. We incorporate pixels from third parties that allow us to track our conversions, bring you advertising both on and off the Sites, and provide you with additional functionality.
- Device Fingerprinting, which is the process of analyzing and combining sets of information elements from your device’s browser, such as JavaScript objects and installed fonts, in order to create a fingerprint of your device and uniquely identify your browser and device.
- App Technologies, which are technologies included in our Apps that are not browser-based like cookies and cannot be controlled by browser settings. For example, our Apps include SDKs, which is code that sends information about your use to a server. These SDKs allow us to analyze the performance of our Apps, bring you advertising both on and off the Apps, and provide you with additional functionality. However, for our Child Directed Apps, we do not collect information for behavioral advertising.
For more information on the use of Tracking Technologies within our Platform and your rights and choices regarding Tracking Technologies, see the What Should I Know About Technology Integrations And Social Media? and What Are My Rights and Choices? sections below.
C. Information from Other Sources
We also collect information from other sources. To the extent we combine sourced information with information we have collected through our Platforms, we will treat the combined information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy, plus any additional restrictions imposed by the source of the data. The categories of sources vary over time, but have included:
- Social networks, when you engage with our content or reference our Platforms.
For more information on these other Services, see the What Should I Know About Technology Integrations And Social Media? section below.

HOW DOES STORIEPLAY SHARE OR DISCLOSE INFORMATION?
StoriePlay shares the information we collect in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Policy for the limited purposes described below. The types of entities to whom we disclose and have shared information with include the following:
- Vendors and Consultants and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may transfer your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include completing purchases, data analytics, marketing and advertising, website hosting, and technical support). Some of these service providers may be located in a country other than where you reside, including in the United States, and your information may be stored or processed in those countries. We implement reasonable contractual measures designed to ensure that our service providers provide appropriate protection for your information and use your information only for the purpose of providing the services to us. Your information may be subject to the legal requirements of the country in which it is located, including lawful requirements to disclose information to government authorities in those countries only. Our employees and those of our agents and service providers who require it in order to fulfill their job requirements will have access to your information.
- Partners. StoriePlay shares information with our partners in connection with offering co-branded services, selling or distributing our products, or engaging in joint marketing activities.
- Contests, Sweepstakes and Promotions. If you voluntarily enter a contest, sweepstake or promotion (Promotion), we share information with third parties as set out in the official rules that govern the Promotion as well as for administrative purposes and as required by law (e.g., on a winners list). By entering a Promotion, you agree to the official rules of that Promotion, and may, except where prohibited by applicable law, allow the sponsor and/or other parties to use your name, voice and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials. Unless specifically indicated with additional terms, Promotions are only directed to adults and non-child users.
- Business Transactions. We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in connection with the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets or rights relating thereto.
- Affiliates. We may share information with our affiliates for their own business purposes.
- Legal Rights and Obligations. We may use and/or disclose your information to enforce legal rights and comply with the law, or to comply with an order from a government entity or other competent authority, or when we have reason to believe that a disclosure is necessary to address potential or actual injury or interference with our rights, property, operations, users or others who may be harmed or may suffer loss or damage. When necessary, we may also disclose information to law enforcement, or to the appropriate civil authorities.
- Consent. We may share information to fulfill any other purpose as directed by you or with your consent. Generally, by providing us with information, we will assume that you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of such information for the purposes identified at the time that we collect the information from you or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. In the case of children under 13, as applicable, we will obtain a parent or legal guardian’s verifiable consent prior to the collection of personal information from such users, unless the collection of such information falls within an exception that is permitted under COPPA or other applicable data protection laws.
Notwithstanding the above, StoriePlay may share or disclose information that does not identify you (including information that has been aggregated and de-identified) with other parties except as prohibited by applicable law. For more information on your rights and choices regarding how we share information about you, please see the What Are My Rights and Choices? section below.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATIONS AND SOCIAL MEDIA?
A. Links
If you click on a link to a website, platform, or service not controlled by us, including on an advertisement or an ad provider link, you will leave the StoriePlay Platform you are visiting and go to the site you selected. These other entities may use Tracking Technologies to independently collect information about you and may solicit information from you. Because we cannot control the activities of other entities, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your information by such entities, and we cannot guarantee that they will adhere to the same privacy and security practices as StoriePlay. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these other entities from whom you request services. If you visit a website, platform, or service that is linked to on a StoriePlay Platform, you should consult that site’s privacy policy before providing any information on that site.
B. Brand Pages
We may offer portions of our Platforms on or integrate portions of our Platforms through social media. For example, we offer content on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Any information you provide to us when you engage with our content (such as through our brand page) is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Also, if you publicly reference our brand on a social media (e.g., by using a hashtag associated with StoriePlay in a tweet or post), we may use your reference on or in connection with our Platforms. Please be aware that if you use a social media platform, both we and the applicable social media platform may have access to and use information associated with your use.
C. Analytics and Advertising
Our Sites and Apps contain Tracking Technologies owned and operated by other entities. For example, we use Tracking Technologies from analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyze your use of the Sites and Apps, compile statistical reports on the Site’s and Apps’ activity, and provide us with other services relating to Site and App activity and internet usage. We also work with ad serving services, advertisers, and other technology services to serve advertisements on the Sites, Apps, and/or on other websites and services. These other entities may use Tracking Technologies on our Sites, Apps, and their own services (including in emails and advertisements) to track your activities across time and services for purposes of associating the different devices you use, and delivering relevant ads and/or other content to you on the Sites, Apps, and the other entities’ own services or third party devices after you have left them (behavioral advertising).
Our Sites use tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Reddit, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. These tools collect data through Tracking Technologies such as cookies, which may be used in accordance with their privacy policies. Please refer to the privacy policies of these entities to learn more about their practices and available opt-outs.
For Google Analytics, you can find their opt-out by visiting: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB and downloading the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, or visiting Google Analytics for Display Advertising of the Google Display Network at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
We do not engage in behavioral advertising in our Child Directed Apps. For further information on advertising in Child Directed Apps, please see the How Does StoriePlay Handle Children’s Information? section above.
For further information on Tracking Technologies and your rights and choices regarding them, please see the Information Collected Automatically and What Are My Rights and Choices? sections.
WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS AND CHOICES?
A. Reviewing, Correcting and Deleting Your Information
If you wish to request access to certain information you have voluntarily submitted to StoriePlay or request that such information be corrected or deleted, or if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or the information practices of StoriePlay, please contact StoriePlay as set out in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? section below. Your right to access, correct, or delete your information is subject to applicable legal restrictions. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections. Please note that we will retain and use information about you as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
If you believe we have collected and stored any personal information from children under 13 in violation of COPPA, parents or legal guardians can request access to review such information, have it deleted, or stop our further collection or use of such information. To make any of these requests (when applicable), please contact us as set out in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? section below.
B. Tracking Technology Choices
- Cookies and Pixels. Most browsers accept cookies by default. If you would prefer not to receive cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse or delete cookies. If you use multiple browsers on your device, you will need to instruct each browser separately. Your ability to limit cookies is subject to your browser settings and limitations. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, some areas of our Sites may not function properly.
- Do Not Track. Your browser may allow you to set a Do Not Track (DNT) signal indicating that you do not wish your online activity to be tracked. Note, however, there is no industry consensus as to what site and app operators should do with regard to these signals. Accordingly, unless and until the law is interpreted to require us to do so, our Sites’ system does not support, monitor, or act on DNT signal headers that we may receive. However, the choices that we provide you concerning collection and use of your information will continue to operate as described in this Privacy Policy. For more information on Do Not Track, visit https://www.allaboutdnt.com.
- App Technologies. You can stop all collection of information via an App by uninstalling the App. You can also reset your device Ad Id at any time through your device settings, which is designed to allow you to limit the use of information collected about you.
Please be aware that if you disable or remove Tracking Technologies some parts of the Platforms may not function correctly.
C. Communications
- E-mails. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time by contacting us as described in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? section below or by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the email communications you receive. Please note that you cannot opt-out of non-promotional emails, such as those about your transactions, servicing, or StoriePlay’s ongoing business relations.
- Local or Push Notifications. If you have opted-in to receive local or push notifications on your device, you can opt-out at any time by adjusting the permissions in your device or uninstalling our app. Please note that your opt-out is limited to the email address or device used and will not affect subsequent subscriptions.
HOW DOES STORIEPLAY PROTECT INFORMATION?
We implement and maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards designed to help protect the security, integrity, accuracy and privacy of the information you have provided from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the internet is not completely secure and we cannot guarantee the security of information about you.
DOES STORIEPLAY TRANSFER INFORMATION INTERNATIONALLY?
Our Platforms are operated in the United States, and the information we collect is governed by United States law. If you are accessing the Platforms from outside of the United States, please be aware that information collected through the Platforms will be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the United States and other jurisdictions. Data protection laws in the United States may be different from those of your country of residence. Your use of the Platforms or provision of any information therefore constitutes your consent to the transfer to and from, processing, usage, sharing, and storage of information about you in the United States and other jurisdictions as set out in this Privacy Policy. If your data is collected in Europe, we will transfer your personal data subject to appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses.

Data Subjects Located in the EU:
For European specific requests, you can use any of the methods above or as further specified in the What Should I Know as a Data Subject in Europe? section below.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW AS A DATA SUBJECT IN EUROPE?
A. StoriePlay is a Data Controller
Data protection laws in Europe make a distinction between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (known as controllers) and organizations that process personal data on behalf of other organizations (known as processors). StoriePlay acts as a controller with respect to personal data collected as you interact with our apps, websites, emails, and advertisements.
B. StoriePlay has a Lawful Basis for Processing
Data protection laws in Europe require a lawful basis for processing personal data. Our lawful bases include where: (a) you have given consent to the processing for one or more specific purposes, either to us or to our service providers or partners; (b) processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you; (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or (d) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party, and your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests. We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or for other legitimate purposes such as complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing our agreements.
C. Your European Privacy Rights
If you are a data subject in Europe, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we have collected about you. You also have the right to data portability and the right to restrict or object to our processing of personal data we have collected about you. In addition, you have the right to ask us not to process your personal data (or provide it to third parties to process) for marketing purposes or purposes materially different than for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by you. You may withdraw your consent at any time for any data processing we do based on consent you have provided to us.
You may exercise your rights by submitting a written request to us at the address set out in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? section above. We will respond to your request within 30 days. We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and process your request. Applicable law may require or permit us to decline your request. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, subject to legal restrictions.
D. Children in Europe
Where the basis for our processing of personal data from children under 16 in Europe is consent, we will make appropriate efforts to verify that consent is given or authorized by the holder of parental responsibility over those children, and, if we learn or have reason to suspect that we have collected personal data from those children without parental consent, we will promptly delete it. If you are a child under 16 in Europe, please speak with your parent or guardian about this Privacy Policy so you can better understand how we use your personal data.
E. Complaints
If you have a complaint about our use of your personal data or response to your requests regarding your personal data, you may submit a complaint to the data protection regulator in your jurisdiction. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach a data protection regulator, and would welcome you directing an inquiry first to us.
In addition to the contact information above, please contact our Data Protection Officer at info@storieplay.com.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW AS A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT?
These additional disclosures for California residents apply only to individuals who reside in California. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) provides additional rights, and requires businesses collecting or disclosing personal information to provide notices and means to exercise those rights.
A. Notice of Collection
In the past 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information listed in the CCPA:
- Identifiers, and an ID or number.
- Commercial information, including purchases and engagement with the Platforms.
- Internet activity, including your interactions with our Platforms.
- Employment and education data that you provide when you apply for a job with us.
For more information on information we collect, including the sources we receive information from, review the What Information does StoriePlay Collect? section. We collect and use these categories of personal information for the business purposes described in the How Does StoriePlay Use the Information Collected? section, including to provide and manage our Platforms.
StoriePlay does not sell information as the term sell is traditionally understood. To the extent sale under the CCPA is interpreted to include advertising technology activities such as those disclosed in the Analytics and Advertising section as a sale, we will comply with applicable law as to such activity. We use and partner with different types of entities to assist with our daily operations and manage our Platforms. Please review the How Does StoriePlay Share or Disclose Information? section for more detail about the parties we have shared information with.
B. Right to Know and Delete
If you are a California resident, you have the right to delete the personal information we have collected from you and the right to know certain information about our data practices in the preceding 12 months. In particular, you have the right to request the following from us:
- The categories of personal information we have collected about you;
- The categories of sources from which the personal information was collected;
- The categories of personal information about you we disclosed for a business purpose or sold;
- The categories of third parties to whom the personal information was disclosed for a business purpose or sold;
- The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling the personal information; and
- The specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
To exercise any of these rights, please submit a request through our online form available at https://forms.gle/QqrvWbtwkGDPxVRY9, or email us at info@storieplay.com. In the request, please specify which right you are seeking to exercise and the scope of the request. We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 days. We may require a copy of your national ID (passport or Driving License) to help us verify your identity and process your request.
C. Authorized Agent
You can designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. However, we will require written proof of the agent’s permission to do so and verify your identity directly.
D. Right to Non-Discrimination
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of any of your rights.
E. Children
As described above, under How Does StoriePlay Handle Children’s Information?, we take steps to avoid collecting information that would individually identify a child. We do not knowingly sell personal information of minors under 16 years old, as that term is defined under the CCPA.
F. Shine the Light
California’s Shine the Light law permits customers in California to request certain details about how certain types of their information are shared with third parties and, in some cases, affiliates, for those third parties’ and affiliates’ own direct marketing purposes. Under the law, a business should either provide California customers certain information upon request or permit California customers to opt in to, or opt out of, this type of sharing.
If you are a California resident and wish to obtain information about our compliance with this law, please contact us as set out in the How Do I Contact StoriePlay? section above. Requests must include California Privacy Rights Request in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Please note that StoriePlay is not required to respond to requests made by means other than through the provided email address or mail address.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW AS A NEVADA RESIDENT?
Nevada consumers may submit requests directing a business not to sell certain kinds of personal information that the business has collected or will collect about the consumer. A sale under Nevada law is the exchange of personal information for monetary consideration by the business to a third party for the third party to license or sell the personal information to other third parties. If you are a Nevada consumer and wish to submit a request relating to our compliance with Nevada law, please contact us at info@storieplay.com.
