*Although Seriously discloses all of the categories above for business purposes, Seriously is not in the business of selling personal information about our players. Yet, Seriously permits, under cerein legal and technical limitations, certain third-party advertising partners to collect information about our players through our games and our website for purposes of serving ads that are more relevant, for ad campaign measurement and analytics, and for ad fraud detection and reporting. To the extent this practice is considered a “sale” under the CCPA, please see our Online Advertising section below for more information.

Online Advertising
Third-party advertising partners collect the categories of personal information we described above for online advertising purposes. These are ad networks, social media companies and other third-party businesses in the ad ecosystem. They collect personal information directly from a browser or device. This is done through cookies or similar tracking technologies when a player visits or interacts with our websites, uses our apps or otherwise engages with us online. The information collected is used to:
These third parties may use this personal information for their own commercial purposes. These practices are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.
Financial Incentives
In certain games we offer a nominal in-game virtual currency and virtual rewards to players when they choose to watch in-game video advertisements, connect with their Facebook account or share their game progress on their social media platforms. The amount or nature of the financial incentive will be specified in each instance at the time the personal information is to be submitted. You can opt into the financial incentive by submitting the personal information. If you wish to opt-out of the financial incentive, send your request by contacting us at privacy@seriously.com.
Seriously and its advertising partners use the information collected to serve the Player with more relevant ads when a player decides to receive the in-game virtual currency or virtual rewards. Video and other relevant advertisements help support the game’s operation. A Player is not obliged to watch the video ads or connect his/ hers Facebook account to play in any of Seriously games.
Each financial incentive related to submission and use of consumer personal information is based upon our reasonable but sole determination of the estimated value of such information, which takes into consideration, without limitation, estimates regarding the anticipated revenue generated from such information, the anticipated expenses which might be incurred in the collection, storage, and use of such information in the operation of our business, and other relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to our business, as permitted under the CCPA.
