AFTERMATH ISLANDS METAVERSE LIMITED PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated on May 17, 2023

The Aftermath Islands Metaverse Limited (“AIM”, “us”, “our”, “we”) Privacy Policy is designed to help you better understand the information we collect and the different ways we may use or share it. 

This policy applies to your use of the AIM services. By “AIM services,” we mean any of our websites, stores, games, game developer tools, applications, or other products or services that link to this policy. Additional terms and conditions may also apply to your relationship with AIM, depending on how you choose to interact with us. Please read this entire policy to make sure you fully understand it. You should also be sure to carefully review other terms potentially applicable to your visit and your use of specific AIM services (including, but not limited to Aftermath Islands Metaverse, aftermathislands.com, aftermathislands.io, Lost Kingdom of T’Sara), and confirm that you understand and agree to them, before using the AIM services.

AIM, our affiliates and owners operate and support the AIM services from different locations around the world.  

Please see “How to Contact Us” below to learn more about sending us any privacy-related questions or concerns you may have. 

Information We Collect

We generally collect information in three ways: (1) you voluntarily provide information to us, such as by creating an account, making purchases, or signing up for email alerts, (2) we collect information automatically from your use of the AIM services, such as through cookies or our games and other software, and (3) other parties, such as game console platforms and social networks, may provide information to us. Each of these methods is described in more detail below.

(1) Information You Provide

You may provide your personal information to us when you choose to use the AIM services. Because we change our offerings and features from time to time, the options you have to provide us with information may also change. Some of the most common examples of situations in which you may provide information to us include:

• Licensing and downloading our games
• Using the AIM services’ social features (see “When You Use Social Features of the AIM Services”);
• Purchasing something from us or otherwise engaging in a transaction with us;
• Entering online competitions or registering for or participating in special events;
• Entering contests or sweepstakes, participating in any of our promotions, or accepting any prizes from us;
• Signing up for email alerts or subscribing to receive other information from us;
• Completing a survey; and
• Contacting us for any reason, such as by email, including for technical support or customer service.

The specific types of information you may be able to provide us will often vary depending on the AIM services you are using and how you interact with them. 

You are required to obtain a Meta Park Pass™, and/or other verifiable credentials, jointly referred to as the “Meta Park Pass™”, to access AIM. The Meta Park Pass™ is your passport that allows you access to AIM and the AIM Site, Software and Services.  The Meta Park Pass™ is a third-party Proof of Humanity verification provided by Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc.  When you first access AIM, you will have access to the Clubhouse only and / or any designated starting area as solely determined by AIM.  In order to leave the Clubhouse, you must approach the Non-Player Character (NPC) in the Clubhouse that controls access to the any other part of AIM and provide your Meta Park Pass™.  If you do not have a Meta Park Pass™, you will be provided with the information required to obtain one through the Liquid Avatar Mobile App.  Access to services provided by Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. is restricted in certain jurisdictions and if you reside in those jurisdictions, you will not be able to obtain a Meta Park Pass™, and as such, will not be permitted to access AIM.  The jurisdictions Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. restricts from includes, but is not limited to, the restricted jurisdictions listed in the Terms of Service and End User License Agreement.  You acknowledge that Meta Park Pass™ is not provided by AIM, but is provided through the Liquid Avatar Mobile app, directly, which is a third-party service.  You must agree to the Liquid Avatar Mobile App policies, including a separate privacy policy, in order to qualify for the Meta Park Pass™ and the AIM Parties are not responsible for any communication or actions you undertake with Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. or any other third party.

If you’d like to make a purchase, we may ask you to provide billing information (like your credit card/payment card or other form of payment details to enable the transaction. Sometimes we ask for other information like your phone number, email address, postal address, and billing address. We’ll also collect information when you choose to share it with us directly in any other way, including by sending it as part of a communication with AIM (like through Player Support requests) or other users of the AIM services (like through in-game chat or forum posts).

Some of our websites may also provide a feature that supports job applications, in which case we would also ask for your resume or CV, legal name, email address, and phone number. We may use this information to determine if you are qualified for the position for which you applied or to contact you to set up an interview.

(2) Information We Collect Automatically

We collect some information automatically when you visit AIM or access the AIM services. We typically aggregate this data and use it in statistical form to determine trends among groups of users, rather than using it to identify individuals.  If a combination of information that we collect does identify you as an individual, we will treat the combined information as personal information.

We collect information through technologies such as web browsers, cookies, log files, web beacons, and our back-end servers collect usage data transmitted from the AIM services. We use the information for purposes such as modifying or improving features, managing marketing and advertising initiatives, addressing technical issues, preventing fraud or misuse of our services, and conducting data analytics. The type of information that we automatically collect may vary, but generally includes:

• Technical information about your computer, the device, hardware, or software you use to access the Internet or our services, which may include, but is not limited to information such as IP address or other transactional/identifier information (such as device make and model, information about device operating systems and browsers, or other device or system related specifications);
• Usage information and statistics about your interaction with the AIM services, which may include the URLs of our websites that you have visited, URLs of referring and exiting pages, page views, time spent on a page, number of clicks or taps, platform type, the application you used or the game you played, how long you used or played it and when, and other usage statistics;
• Crash reports, which may be automatically generated when a game or application crashes and includes information about your system and the crash;
• Information that facilitates a safer and more personalized experience, such as your display name or other user identification provided in connection with your application use or game play, saved preferences, game progress, and device identifiers or usage information for authentication and fraud prevention purposes; and
• The location of your device, such as may be derived from your device’s IP address.

Please note that if certain features on the AIM services are provided by third parties, those third parties may also use automated means of data collection and may record information about your use of the AIM services or others’ websites over time. These features are subject to those third parties’ privacy notices and policies.

Fraud Prevention & Anti-Cheat:

Providing users with a fair, balanced, and competitive experience on AIM is extremely important to us. We strictly enforce prohibitions against cheating, hacking, account stealing, and any other unauthorized or fraudulent activity on the AIM services. When you use the AIM Services, buy our products or other services, play our games, or otherwise interact with AIM on or through the AIM services, we may use a variety of anti-cheat and fraud prevention technologies to help us identify and prevent malicious activity. These services may collect and analyze data about the game binary or your computer to detect cheating and may be provided directly by AIM or by third parties.

Information collected During Purchases

If you choose to make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain information from you, including your email address, name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card information, WAX Wallet ID’s and / or other Wallet ID’s) and phone number.  We refer to this information as “Order Information.”  Credit card numbers are not stored on the Site.

Public Posts

If you choose to post comments or dialogue in any way through the AIM services, including public or private chat, forums, group walls, personal posts and any other dialogue of this nature, we may collect, monitor, filter and moderate to confirm that the Terms of Service and End User License Agreement that all users must agree to follow, are not violated.  This information may also be collected for training purposes.

Marketing

You may be asked by AIM if you would like to receive marketing information on our various products and services, such as offers that may be attractive to you.  Such marketing messages, should you choose to opt-in, may be delivered to you via email, SMS, digital messaging, or text message through internal and external messaging services.  You may change your mind about receiving these offers at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” button at the bottom of each email or by changing your preferences to withdraw your consent to receive these personal messages.  Users of the AIM services may be informed of offers available to them within the AIM services.  Notifications of such offerings during the use of the AIM services are not subject to change via preference settings or by unsubscribing.

(3) Information We Receive from Others

In some cases, other parties provide us with information about you, or allow us to collect information about you. We generally collect information from other parties in four ways: (1) you interact with AIM using a service that is not controlled by us, such as a social network, (2) you choose to use any available social feature of the AIM services, (3) you access AIM services through another party, such as a mobile device operator, or (4) you link a third party account. In some cases, we are not able to control the amount or type of information that other parties, like social networks, make available to us. In those cases, we use only the data that we need to provide the types of services our users want and expect. Although we cannot control your privacy settings at those websites or how those other parties protect your privacy, once we receive information about you through those websites, we will treat it in accordance with this policy.

When You Interact with AIM on Third Party Services

When you interact with AIM on a website or app not controlled by AIM, that website or app may allow AIM access to certain information about you. For example, social networks may provide us with information from your profile on their services or other information that you agreed the social network or other party could provide to us.

When You Use Social Features of the AIM Services

When you choose to use any social features provided through the AIM services, you allow AIM to receive information about you from third parties (like social networks). Our social features promote and facilitate interaction among players, such as allowing you and your friends to work together to meet a shared challenge. You may be able to use these features to find out if your friends are actively using the AIM Services and using any of the features, to find out if they used the features in the past, and to invite them to join with you to meet a challenge.

If you choose to use any of our social features, you may be asked to log into a social network through the AIM Services. The social network may then provide AIM with information such as your social network user ID, your profile picture, and the user IDs and profile pictures of your connections, but as previously stated, AIM is not able to control what information social networks choose to provide to us.

When You Link a Third Party Account to Your Aftermath Islands Account

If you choose to link a third party account, such as a social media account, to your Aftermath Islands account, the third party will provide AIM with information about that account. Because those organizations determine what information they will collect from you, it may vary according to their services, but is likely to include details such as your third party account display name and user ID, as well as associated device information, name, and email address.

How We Use and Share Information

As a general matter, we use and share the information we collect (either individually or in combination with other information collected as described in this policy) to help us provide, improve, customize, analyze, and market the AIM services where we have an appropriate basis and right to do so.

(1) Use

We rely on several different legal bases to process personal information for the purposes disclosed in this policy. These often depend on the exact nature of your relationship with AIM, but common examples include: 

Performance of a contract, including:

• To verify that you are a real person and not a bot or machine created algorithm;
• To verify your age in order to ensure minors do not access inappropriate content;
• To allow you to manage your user account;
• To operate, maintain and improve the AIM Services;
• To give you access to the Services or restrict your access when required;
• To provide technical support;

• To communicate with you, respond to your requests, or provide you with updates and information;
• To better understand our users and their preferences;
• To personalize your experience, save your preferences, authenticate our users, and provide similar user-experience features;
• To detect security incidents, malicious, fraudulent or illegal activity;
• To develop, deliver, and improve our products, services, and other offerings, some of which may be offered in partnership with other parties;
• To communicate with you about the services, including changes to features, notification of updates or maintenance activities;
• To manage and customize advertisements or promotional offers;
• For security purposes;

• For internal purposes such as auditing and data analysis;

• To provide services that are subject to terms you have accepted, such as enforcing our licenses, agreements, and policies, which may include reasonable monitoring to detect and prevent misuse or fraud, keep our systems fair for all users, and otherwise protect and defend the AIM services;

• When you give consent, which you can withdraw at any time; and

• To comply with legal obligations.

We store personal information for as long as we reasonably need it to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. For example, when you access the AIM Services, we will store the information automatically collected during your use of the AIM Services for as long as needed to provide the AIM services you requested, enforce any applicable terms that govern your use of the AIM services, and maintain appropriate records to reflect our delivery of the AIM services to you. We periodically review the personal information we retain to determine whether continued storage is proper. 

(2) Sharing

Service Providers. We share personal information with service providers that we’ve engaged to help support the AIM services by performing certain services on our behalf and under our instructions. For example, if you make a purchase on the AIM services, we’ll generally share your billing information with a third-party payment processor to enable your transaction. Other common examples include partners that assist with cloud storage, email marketing of products and services offered by AIM, Customer Support ticketing, and monitoring and securing the AIM services. These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose personal information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements.

Affiliates. We may share personal information we collect with agents, affiliates and owners to support the AIM services worldwide. 

Marketing Partners. You may be asked by a marketing partner within AIM if you would like to receive more information on a subject or item.  Upon your agreement to receive that information, a credential will be created within your Meta Park Pass which will allow the marketing partner to provide you with that information.  You may change your mind about receiving this information at any time and delete the credential.  Information that may be shared with the marketing partner is limited but may include things  such as device identifiers for purposes of executing and optimizing campaigns and gauging the effectiveness of advertising and other marketing strategies solely on AIM’s behalf.

Aftermath Islands Account Services, including customer service. If you sign into a third-party developer’s game or application using your Aftermath Islands account, you may choose to share details about your Aftermath Islands account such as which would consist of the information contained in your Meta Park Pass™. These third-party developers’ uses of this Aftermath Islands account information are governed by limitations in our agreements with them. Personal information that you choose to share with them, or which is not provided by AIM is subject to the third-party developers’ privacy notices and policies, which may differ from AIM’s practices as described in this policy. Please review third-party developers’ privacy policies carefully, and ensure you understand and are comfortable with how they handle your information, before using your Aftermath account to access their products or services.  AIM will have no liability for the use or security of your personal information on or by any third parties.

Social Features. We may share, or provide you with opportunities to share, information about yourself with other users of the AIM services as described in this policy. We also provide services that allow our users to communicate with AIM and each other, in which case in-game information may be shared. For example, we may share information such as your in-game username, what guild you may be a part of or what level you are at.

Security Related Services and Legal Requirements.  We may disclose information about you: (i) if we are required to do so by law, legal process, or a reasonable request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, (ii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity, or (iii) if necessary to protect the vital interests of another individual (such as to prevent death, bodily harm, or serious damage to property). We reserve the right to transfer information about our users in the event we sell or transfer all or substantially all our business or assets.

Change of Control: if AIM Sells or otherwise transfers part of or the whole of AIM or its assets to another organization (e.g. during the course of a transactions like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets), then your information may be sold or transferred as part of the transaction as permitted by law and/or contract.  The buyer or transferee will have to honor the commitments AIM has made in this Privacy Policy.

Your Choices and Controls

We seek to provide you with meaningful choices about the personal information you share with AIM, as well as the ways we may use or share that information.  We’ll generally only ask you for personal information that is necessary to provide the AIM services you request. You can choose not to give us personal information we request, but if you decide not to, you may not be able to access certain parts of the AIM services and some features may not work as intended.

We may also seek your prior consent to process your information in certain ways. You aren’t required to provide consent if you do not want your personal information to be processed for the requested purposes and may withdraw your consent at any time. Any withdrawal of consent is only effective on a going-forward basis and will not impact processing we undertook while relying on your consent.    

We provide you with the ability to request access to, and correction or deletion of, your personal information. You can update your account information or request that we delete your AIM account directly through the AIM services at any time. If you would like to request access to personal information associated with your AIM account, please see the “How to Contact Us” section below. 

Other examples of your choices include:

• You can browse our site without providing any personal information. We may collect some limited information automatically, as described above.
• You may opt out of receiving our outside marketing messages at any time by using the opt-out mechanism provided in the message.
• You can change your privacy settings on other parties’ websites, such as social networks, which will stop or limit our receipt of information from those other websites. You also may choose not to use any social features we make available. If you choose to use any such features, you should refrain from posting personal information that will be visible to others, such as including your email address in a forum or during a chat.
• You may change your browser settings or take other steps to block, manage, or delete cookies. Not all of our websites and online services currently respond to browser “do not track” signals, so you will need to use your browser settings to effectively manage cookies. In some cases, blocking or disabling cookies may cause our sites, games, and applications not to work as intended and some features may not be available.
• You can limit interest-based advertising by opting out at www.aboutads.info/choices/ or www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. If you are located in Europe, more information is available at www.youronlinechoices.eu/.
• If you are under the age of 18 and use our sites, mobile apps, game engines, games, or other online services, you may request that we remove certain content that you have previously provided, such as deleting or editing comments you have posted. You also may ask us to assist you in removing or anonymizing content you have posted by contacting us as described in the “How to Contact Us” section of this policy. Please be aware that taking these steps may not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of the content or information posted on our websites, online services, applications, or games. We also may not be able to remove content you post if applicable law requires us to maintain the posting or if another party has re-posted the content to a website, app, game or other online service that we do not own or control.

You may also exercise and amend your choices by sending an email to us as detailed in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Sales of Information. AIM only uses the personal information we collect to help provide, support, and improve the AIM services as described in this policy, and we do not sell this information to third parties.  

How We Protect Information

We maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use and other unlawful forms of processing.

We take commercially reasonable measure to help safeguard your personal information from loss, disclosure, alteration, misuse and unauthorized access, theft and destruction.  This includes, when required or appropriate and feasible, obtaining written assurances from third parties that may access your data that they will protect the data with adequate safeguards.

When using the AIM services, we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to the AIM services.  If we learn of an incident that may qualify as a breach under applicable law, we will notify you consistent with applicable laws.

Storage of Your Personal Information

We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to store your information in order to provide it with the highest level of protection, however AWS does not necessarily have servers inside every jurisdiction.  By accepting this Privacy Policy, you provide your explicit permission to store your information on systems outside your jurisdiction when they are not available inside your jurisdiction and to transfer that data to your jurisdiction when systems become available to do so.

Children’s Privacy

The AIM services are intended to be appropriate for general audiences and are not directed to children.  A child is considered to be under the age of 13 or under the age of online consent in the jurisdiction the child resides in. AIM does not intentionally collect personal information from children without seeking any required parental approval in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, such as the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

We will be provided with age-related information on our Users through the Meta Park Pass™, which includes date of birth and age verification in order to help us comply with laws like COPPA. In the event you are over the age 13 or you reside in a jurisdiction where the age of online consent is greater than 13 years of age, as per the Terms of Service and End User License Agreement, you are required to review all policies with your parent or guardian, and where necessary, you’re your parent or guardian accept the policies on your behalf before AIM will allow you access to the AIM Services.

Location Based Services

If you request or agree to location-based services, which may be available to you (however would be restricted from Children) you must consent to the collection of real-time geolocation information.  This information may be used to provide services such as tagging, check-in, location based advertising and other services that can only be provided when your location is known and will be collected in combination with other user identifiers associated with your device.  You always have the ability to stop location-based data collection at any time by updating your preferences within the settings on your device.

Transfers of Information

AIM is a company with operations around the world. By using the AIM services, you acknowledge and agree that although we try to keep your data in your local jurisdiction, it is not always possible.  It is also not always possible to process your information within your jurisdiction and as such, may be processed outside your jurisdiction, including in other jurisdictions that may have different data protection frameworks than your region. To learn more about what regions we may utilize to process and store your data, see “How to Contact Us” below.

We’ve implemented and maintain a framework consistent with applicable law and this policy for transfers of information outside the country of collection. For example, when we transfer personal data collected in the European Union to locations outside the European Economic Area, we rely on transfer mechanisms adopted by the European Commission to help establish adequate safeguards, like Standard Contractual Clauses. We may also need to transfer your information to provide the AIM services to you in accordance with our existing agreements with you, such as the Terms of Services and End User License Agreement.

California Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, provides you with specific rights regarding your Personal Information.  For the purposes of this section, Personal Information does not include (i) information that is lawfully made available from federal, state or local government records; (ii) de-identified or aggregated data; or (iii)information excluded from the scope of the CCPA.  For clarity, these rights are granted only to the extend that you are a California consumer.  The rights in this section are not intended to grant you additional rights, but only your rights under the CCPA to the extent that we are considered a CCPA business with respect to the applicable Personal Information.

In order to provide the AIM Services, we may process data that we receive from you.  If you are a California resident, you may have certain CCPA rights pertaining to such information.  Under the CCPA, when we act as a “service provider” (not as a “business” or “third party”) over such information, we only process your information through the AIM Services as necessary to provide the AIM Services to our users.  If you wish to exercise any of your rights under CCPA regarding your information, please contact us.

Information We Collect, How we Collect It and How We Use It

California consumers may access, delete and control certain uses of their information as set for below.

In the past 12 months and ongoing through your use of the AIM Services we have and will collect some or all of the categories of Personal Information described in the table below.  The table below further describes the business or commercial purpose(s) for which the Personal Information was collected and will be collected and the entities to whom such information may have been disclosed.

The Personal Information described in the table above is collected directly from you, from the Information We Collect section of this Privacy Policy.  In addition to the parties described above, we may disclose your Personal Information to other third parties listed in the Sharing section of this Privacy Policy.

AIM does not sell any of your personal information in exchange for money.  However, the term “sell” has a broader meaning under the CCPA than would ordinarily be understood in a non-legal context.  In the past 12 months and through your continued use of the AIM Services, we have not sold or shared the following categories of Personal Information with third parties:

• Identifiers
• Customer Records Information
• Characteristics of protected classifications
• Internet or other similar network activity information
• Geolocation data
• Inferences

AIM may disclose your Personal Information to a third party for a business purpose, or sell or share your Personal Information, subject to your right to opt out.  The information under “Information We Collect, How we Collect It and How We Use It”, describes the third parties with which we may disclose your Personal Information.

A. Right to Know

As a California consumer, you have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, use, disclosure or sale of your Personal Information over the past 12 months.  Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, and subject to certain limitations that we describe below, we will disclose such information.  You have the right to request any or all of the following:

• The categories of Personal Information we collect about you;
• The categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected;

C. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request a copy of Personal Information we have collected and maintained about you in the past 12 months.  The CCPA allows you to request your information from us upt to twice during a 12-month period.  We will provide our response in a readily usable and electronic format.

D. Right to Correct

You have the right to request the correction of any Personal Information we maintain about you.

E. Right to Opt Out of Selling or Sharing Your Personal Information

You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your Personal Information, along with the right to opt into the sale of such information.  We do not sell Personal Information of our users to third parties.

F. Right to Limit the Use of Your Sensitive Personal Information

You have the right to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information if we are using it beyond what is reasonable and proportionate to provide the requested goods or services.  You can make a request for us to limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information by contacting us.

In the event you choose to exercise your rights under CCPA and submit a request to us, we will take steps to verify your identity in order for us to properly respond and confirm that it is not a fraudulent request.  You represent and affirm that all information you provide in response to such a request to verify your identity is true and accurate.

Only you or an agent legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to your Personal Information.  If you are making a request as the authorized agent to a California consumer, we will ask you also submit reliable proof that you have been authorized in writing by a consumer to act on such consumer’s behalf.

We will make every effort to respond to your request within 45 days from when you contacted us.  If you have a complex request, the CCPA allows us up to 90 days to respond.

Notice of Financial Incentive

We may at times offer our users programs that provide certain perks associated with AIM, such as rewards and exclusive offers.  We may also provide other programs, such as sweepstakes, contests or other similar promotional campaigns.  When you sign up for a promotional campaign, we typically ask you to provide your name and contact information (such as email addresses and’/or other contact information).  Because our promotional campaigns involve the collection of Personal Information, they may be considered a “financial incentive” program under the California law.  The value of your Personal Information to us is related to the value of the free or discounted products or services, or other benefits you obtain or that are provided as part of the promotional campaign, minus the expense related to offering those products, services and benefits to campaign participants.  Unless specifically stated otherwise in connection with a potential “financial incentive,” the value of the benefit AIM may offer to you exceeds the value of the Personal information you provide as a participant.

You may withdraw from participating in a promotional campaign at any time by contacting us using the designated method set forth in the applicable promotional campaign.  Pleas read the terms and condition of each promotional campaign to view full details, including how to participate.
