Welcome to Fixation Games!
OUR PRIVACY COMMITMENT
Fixation Games, Inc. (collectively, “Fixation Games,” “we,” or “us”) respects the privacy of our online visitors and users of our games, online, downloadable products, websites, newsletters, applications, and other services (each a “Service” or collectively, the “Services”), and we recognize the importance of protecting all information that you may choose to share with us. To further this commitment, we have adopted this Fixation Games Online Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to outline for you how we collect and process your information.
This Privacy Policy explains when we collect information about you, what we collect, why we collect it, how we use and handle it, and your associated choices and rights. Your use and continued use of our Services indicates your acceptance of these practices and this Privacy Policy.
To help protect your privacy, we have voluntarily undertaken this privacy initiative.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
What information does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected on or through the Services offered to you by Fixation Games and certain third parties (as further described in this Privacy Policy), and to information collected by Fixation Games for employment-related purposes. It does not apply to any other information collected by Fixation Games through any other means.
Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information submitted and collected via the Internet from the websites, newsletters, or other electronic communication means where the Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference, and does not apply to information that may be collected by Fixation Games via offline means with the exception of employment-related information.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to any other companies or organizations to which we link. Fixation Games is therefore not responsible for the content or activities provided on those websites, except as expressly provided in this Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Websites
Once you have clicked on an advertisement or a third-party link on our site and have left our websites or other Services, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the advertiser/third party to see how your information will be collected and processed on its website.
What types of information do we collect about you?
Fixation Games respects your privacy, and we strive to minimize our collection of your personal information. Personal information is information that can be used to directly, or indirectly with other collected information, identify, and contact you. If required by applicable law, Fixation Games will request your specific consent prior to collecting any of your personal information. If you prefer, however, not to disclose your personal information to Fixation Games, you may not be able to enjoy certain features of our Services.
Our Services and European Economic Area Users
Data protection law in Europe requires a “lawful basis” for collecting and processing personal information from citizens or residents of the European Economic Area. Our lawful bases include:
Specific Affirmative Consent: As stated above, Fixation Games will request your specific affirmative consent, if required by applicable law, in a clear, concise, and specific manner prior to collecting and processing your personal information.
Performance of Contract: In some instances, we will need to collect your personal information to comply with our contractual obligation to deliver the Services to you (e.g., pursuant to our End User License Agreement for a Service), such as by collecting your IP address to facilitate matchmaking in an online multiplayer video game, or collecting your telemetry data to display your player statistics and rankings to you.
Legal Compliance: Sometimes the law says we need to collect and process your personal information. For example, a court may order us to process your data for a particular purpose other than that for which it was initially collected.
Legitimate Interests: On occasion, we may collect and process your personal information when we have a good and fair reason to use your data, and we do so in ways which do not hurt your interests and rights. In other words, we may collect and process your data to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and that does not materially impact your rights, freedom, or interests.
Our Services and Children
We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from users under 13 in the United States, and under the applicable age of consent in other countries (“Child” or “Children”) other than as permitted by law, for example, in support of our internal operations (in the U.S.) and legitimate interests or contractual or legal obligations (in the EU). We take Children’s privacy seriously and encourage parents to play an active role in their Children’s online experience at all times.
If Fixation Games learns that a Child’s personal information has been collected, we will delete the account. If parents believe that we have unintentionally collected their Child’s personal information, they should contact us to request the deletion of the information at

You can engage with our Services on or through third-party social networking websites such as Facebook, Google/YouTube, Twitch, X/Twitter, or other third-party social media plug-ins and applications which may be hosted on separate websites, or embedded within or integrated with our Services.

You can also engage with certain portions of our Services through certain first-party and/or mobile platforms (the “First-Party Platform(s)”). For instance, if you desire to use features of our Services by signing in through or otherwise linking with, for example, your PSN account or Steam account to authenticate yourself, some information from those First-Party Platforms (e.g., your account ID, date of birth/age, username, language preference, entitlement information, achievement/trophy information, and/or geographic information), and/or information regarding your usage of our Services (e.g., web analytics data or game telemetry data) (collectively, the “Platform Information”), which may have been collected by the First-Party Platform may be transmitted to Fixation Games.

We will collect this information only if you provide your consent.
Where required by applicable law, Fixation Games will request your specific affirmative consent prior to collecting and processing any Platform Information.

Information Collected Through Cookies and Other Web-Based Technologies
We collect information through web-based technologies, such as “cookies,” to improve our Services. For example, when you use one of our Services, we collect your IP address. An IP address is often associated with your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your company, or your university. At times, we use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which our users visit various parts of our websites. At other times, we collect your IP address to facilitate location-based matchmaking in our online multiplayer Services.
Cookies
Our web-based Services use cookies. A cookie is a small file consisting of letters and numbers that is downloaded to and stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Each cookie is unique to your web browser or device. There are several different types of cookies:
Session cookies, which only last as long as your visit to the website. Session cookies are used for things such as remembering what you put into your shopping cart as you browse a website or to ensure that your bank account information cannot be accessed after you leave the bank’s website.
Persistent cookies, which last for a longer period of time, including in between sessions. Persistent cookies are used for things like remembering your preferences and choices when you re-visit a website or for keeping you logged in to a website.
First-party and third-party cookies, refer to the entity that is placing the cookie on your computer or device. First-party cookies are placed by the website that you are visiting; third-party cookies are placed by a third party, such as an advertising company that is posting ads on the website that you are visiting.
We use the cookies for the following purposes:
Strictly necessary functionality: We use several persistent cookies which are strictly necessary to enable you to move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, we would not be able to provide certain functions of our sites.
To provide additional functionality: To remember the settings you’ve chosen to use when viewing our site, and to tailor our site to you. For example, if you set your location to France, we know to translate the site into the French language for you.
Analytical or Performance purposes: To measure visitor behavior, such as how many times a visitor visits the site, so that we can improve our site and provide you with a better experience.
Depending on your choice of browser (e.g., Edge, Chrome, Firefox, etc.), you may be able to modify your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are sent to it. Alternatively, you can refuse to accept cookies altogether, and you can also delete cookies that have already been set. You can do this through your browser settings. Each browser is a little different, so refer to your browser’s help menu to learn the correct way to modify your settings. However, if you turn cookies off, you will not have access to many features that make your web experience smoother, such as the features mentioned above, and some of our services may not function properly.
To support our web pages, we sometimes also embed content from third-party websites, such as video content from YouTube. As a result, when you visit a page containing such content, you will be presented with third-party cookies from those third-party websites. Similarly, you will also see embedded ‘share’ buttons on Fixation Games web pages that enable users to easily share content with their friends through a number of popular social networks. When you click on one of those buttons, a cookie will be set by the service through which you have chosen to share content, such as Facebook, Google/YouTube, or Twitter.
Fixation Games does not control the placement of those cookies and you should check the relevant third-party’s website for more information on how to restrict the placement of those cookies.
