This Privacy Policy describes how Quicksilver Software, Inc. collects, uses and discloses information in connection with the use of our game application Gem Rush, and what choices you (the “Customer”) have with respect to the information.
This Privacy Policy applies to Quicksilver’s Gem Rush game (the “Game”) and our Web presence (the “Web Site”), together referred to as the “Services”. If you do not agree with these terms, do not access or use the Services or any other aspect of Quicksilver’s business.
Quicksilver does not, in general, require any personal information related to Customers of the Game or the Web Site. In particular, we do not require Customers to provide us with contact information such as email addresses or phone numbers, although we allow the option of providing such information for the purpose of enabling certain forms of contact with Customers, such as password resets.
We may obtain and retain certain information that is necessary for the operation of the Game or the Web Site, such as access logs and error logs, but only for amounts of time required to ensure the proper and efficient operation of our online systems. Such information is regularly purged as a part of the normal operation of our systems.
Quicksilver may collect and receive Customer Data and other information and data (“Other Information”) in a variety of ways:
Generally, no one is under a statutory or contractual obligation to provide any Customer Data or Other Information (collectively, “Information”). However, certain Information is collected automatically and, if some Information is not provided, we may be unable to provide the full range of services available in the Game. For example, if no email address is provided, we will not be able to reset your password.
Customer Data and Game Login Data will be used by Quicksilver in accordance with Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer license agreement for the Game, and as required by applicable law. Quicksilver is a processor of Customer Data and Customer is the controller.
Quicksilver uses Game Login Data in furtherance of our legitimate interests in operating the Game. More specifically, Quicksilver uses Game Login Data:
Quicksilver uses Other Information in furtherance of our legitimate
interests in operating our Services, Web sites, Games and business. More
specifically, Quicksilver uses Other Information:
If Information is aggregated or de-identified so it is no longer reasonably associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, Quicksilver may use it for any business purpose. To the extent Information is associated with an identified or identifiable natural person and is protected as personal data under applicable data protection law, it is referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Data.”
Quicksilver will retain Customer Data in accordance with a Customer’s instructions, including any applicable terms in the Customer Agreement and Customer’s use of Game and Web Site functionality, and as required by applicable law. The deletion of Customer Data and other use of the Game by Customer may result in the deletion and/or de-identification of certain associated Other Information. Quicksilver may retain Other Information pertaining to you for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This may include keeping your Other Information after you have deactivated your account for the period of time needed for Quicksilver to pursue legitimate business interests, conduct audits, comply with (and demonstrate compliance with) legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. Under typical circumstances, such information will be kept for no more than one calendar year.

This section describes how Quicksilver may share and disclose Information. Customers determine their own policies and practices for the sharing and disclosure of Information, and Quicksilver does not control how they or any other third parties choose to share or disclose Information.
Quicksilver takes security of data very seriously. Quicksilver works hard to protect Other Information you provide from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access or disclosure. These steps take into account the sensitivity of the Game Login Data and Other Information we collect, process and store, and the current state of technology. Given the nature of communications and information processing technology, Quicksilver cannot guarantee that Information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others.
Information sent to and from our servers is encrypted in transit.

If you learn that anyone younger than 16 has unlawfully provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information in accordance with our standard deletion policies.
Quicksilver may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Laws, regulations and industry standards evolve, which may make those changes necessary, or we may make changes to our business. We will post the changes to this page and encourage you to review our Privacy Policy to stay informed. If we make changes that materially alter your privacy rights, Quicksilver will provide additional notice, such as via email or through the Game.
