In this policy, "Lucky Girls" refers to Lucky Girls LLC and its Affiliates, which shall mean subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership. We may also refer to Lucky Girls as "We" or "Us".

This Privacy Policy describes:

  • The information We collect, how we do so and the purposes of our collection
  • How We use and with whom We share such information

  • If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or our collection and use of information, please contact us as described in the Section "Contact Us".

    Information We Collect

    When you use any Lucky Girls game, also referred to as an "application" or "app", you get access to its online community within that game and you allow Lucky Girls to access certain information from your profile for that application. The information you allow Lucky Girls to access varies by application, and it is affected by the privacy settings you and your friends establish in that application. You can control and find out more about these settings within the application. For example, Lucky Girls may access and store some or all of the following information, as allowed by you and your preferences:
  • Your in-game username
  • Your device's MAC address
  • Facebook User ID
  • Facebook Fan Status
  • Your physical location and that of your access devices
  • By playing a Lucky Girls game, you are authorizing Lucky Girls to collect, store, and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy any and all information that you agreed the application could provide to Lucky Girls through the EULA - End User License Agreement - posted on the application portal you downloaded the app from. Your agreement takes place when you "accept" or "allow" (or similar terms) one of our applications.

    Information We Collect from You Directly

    When you interact with the application, at http://www.warofbeach.com, or any Lucky Girls-owned website, We may collect and store information from you directly as described below:

    Registration Information

    We may allow you to "register" with Us by using Facebook Connect or other Application authentication options to create an account or profile within the Service. We may also provide a more typical registration flow where you may be required to provide the following information: your age or birthday (for age screening and/or to better understand who our users are); your e-mail address; a password and other information that helps Us confirm that it is you accessing your account.
    We may also offer you the option to complete a user profile that is visible to other Lucky Girls users. Your user profile may include: a profile image; one or more game username(s); and a Lucky Girls user ID number that is created by Lucky Girls and used to identify your profile.

    Information We Receive or Collect When You Access Lucky Girls Games on a Mobile Device

    If you play Lucky Girls games on your mobile telephone or other mobile device, including iPads and tablets, we collect mobile device identifiers, including MAC Address, and possibly IP Address. In certain games we will create and assign to your device an identifier that is similar to an account number. We may collect the name you have associated with your device, device type, telephone number, country, and any other information you choose to provide, such as user name, character name, geo-location or e-mail address. We may also access your contacts to enable you to invite friends to join you in the Service.

    Payment Information

    Lucky Girls may also receive the billing and payment information that you provide when your purchase is processed by another party, such as Facebook (for Facebook Credits), Apple (for purchases on iOS devices), Google (for purchases on Android devices), or Amazon (for purchases on Kindle devices).

    Customer Support Correspondence

    When you ask for assistance from our Customer Support team, we will collect and store the contact information you provide (generally your name and e-mail address), information about your game play or activity on the Service, and your username or ID number. We will also store the correspondence and any information contained within.

    Push Notifications & Local Notifications

    With your consent we may send push notifications to your mobile device to provide game updates and other relevant messages. You can manage push notifications from the Social section within the relevant game.

    Technical and Usage Information

    When you access our websites or play our games, We collect (i) certain technical information about your mobile device or computer system, including MAC Address, IP Address and mobile device ID; and (ii) usage statistics about your interactions with the Service. This information is typically collected through the use of server log files or web log files ("Log Files"), mobile device software development kits and tracking technologies like browser cookies to collect and analyze certain types of technical information. Some of the cookies the Service places on your computer are linked to your user ID number(s). For more information on how We utilize cookies and other tracking technologies please review the "Cookies and Automated Information Collection" discussion under ("How We Collect Information about You").

    How We Collect Information about You

    We may collect information about you in any one or more of the following ways:

    Information about Players and Play

    To provide a richer game play and social experience, We collect information about your play and interaction with other players. The bulk of this information is collected and stored through the use of Log Files, which are files on our web servers that record actions taken on our games and websites.

    Communications Features

    You may be able to take part in certain activities on our websites or games that give you the opportunity to communicate or share information not just with Lucky Girls, but also with other users of our Service. These include:
  • Participating in player forums and message boards
  • Posting public comments to other users' profiles or gameboards
  • Sending private messages or invitations to other users, either directly on our websites or to their e-mail accounts
  • Chat with other users
  • Posting web links
  • We may record and store archives of these communications on Lucky Girls's servers to protect the safety and well being of our users and Lucky Girls's rights and property in connection with the service. You acknowledge and consent to the recording and storage of such communications for these purposes.

    Cookies and Automated Information Collection

    When you access the Service, We collect certain technical information in order to (i) analyze the usage of our sites and services; (ii) provide a more personalized experience; and (iii) manage advertising. We and service providers acting on our behalf, such as Google Analytics, use Log Files and tracking technologies to collect and analyze certain types of technical information, including cookies, IP addresses, device type, device identifiers, browser types, browser language, referring and exit pages, and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, game state and the date and time of activity on our websites or games, and other similar information. In some cases, We will associate this information with your user ID number for our internal use.
    We may also employ other technologies including (i) web beacons, which allow Us to know if a certain page was visited or whether an e-mail was opened; (ii) tracking pixels, which allow Us to advertise more efficiently by excluding our current users from certain promotional messages, identifying the source of a new installation or delivering ads to you on other websites; and (iii) local shared objects also known as flash cookies, which help Us to prevent fraud, remember your in-game preferences and speed up load times.
    You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer or limit the type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser may not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit adobe.com and make changes at the privacy settings panel. If you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of playing our games, as Lucky Girls cookies are necessary to track and enhance your game activities. Please note that companies delivering advertisements in our games or on our websites may also use cookies or other technologies, and those practices are subject to their own policies.

    Other Sources

    We may collect or receive information from other sources including (i) other Lucky Girls users who choose to upload their email contacts; and (ii) third party information providers. This information will be used to supplement your profile - primarily to help you and your friends connect. It will be combined with other information We collect.

    How We Use the Information We Collect

    In general, We collect, store and use your information to provide you with a safe, smooth, efficient, fun, and customized experience. For example, We may use information collected from you in any one or more of the following ways:
  • To create your game accounts and allow play of our games
  • To identify and suggest connections with other Lucky Girls users
  • To enable user-to-user communications
  • To provide technical support and respond to user inquiries
  • To prevent fraud or potentially illegal activities, and enforce our Terms of Service
  • To deliver and target advertising
  • To notify users of in-game updates
  • To provide in-game leader boards and promote in-game player achievements
  • To solicit input and feedback to improve Lucky Girls products and services and customize your user experience
  • To inform users about new products or promotional offers
  • To engage in commonly accepted practices, such as contacting you at the email address We have on file if you are a potential winner in a sweepstakes
  • One important use of your information is communication. If you have provided your e-mail address to Lucky Girls, We'll use it to respond to (i) customer support inquiries, and (ii) keep you informed of your in-game activity, including comments from friends, notifications about in-game status and requests. Some messages, such as invites for friends to join you in a game, may include your name and profile photo. We may also send promotional e-mail messages and promotional messages ("Promotional Communications") directly or in partnership with parties other than Lucky Girls. Each Promotional Communication will generally offer recipients choices about receiving additional messages.

    Sharing of Your Information

    We will share your information (in some cases personal information) with third parties, that is parties other than Lucky Girls, in the following circumstances:

    Third Party Service Providers

    We will provide your information to third party companies to perform services on our behalf, including payment processing, data analysis, e-mail delivery, hosting services, customer service and to assist Us in our marketing efforts. We direct all such third party service providers to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed to them and to not use your information for any purpose other than to provide services on Lucky Girls's behalf.

    Advertising of Third Party Products and Services

    We do not actively share personal information with third party advertisers for their direct marketing purposes unless you give Us your consent. We may share (i) aggregated information (information about you and other users collectively, but not specifically identifiable to you); (ii) anonymous information; and (iii) certain technical information (including IP Addresses, MAC Addresses for mobile devices and mobile device IDs) to develop and deliver targeted advertising in the Service and on the websites of third parties. We may also allow advertisers to collect these types of information within the Service and they may share it with Us. Advertisers may collect this information through the use of tracking technologies like browser cookies and web beacons. The information collected may be used to offer you targeted ad-selection and delivery in order to personalize your user experience by ensuring that advertisements for products and services you see will appeal to you, a practice known as behavioral advertising, and to undertake web analytics (i.e. to analyze traffic and other end user activity to improve your experience). To learn more about behavioral advertising or to opt-out of this type of advertising for participating ad networks, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance.
    Our collection, use, and disclosure of anonymous or aggregated information are not subject to any of the restrictions in this Privacy Policy.

    Offer Walls

    Lucky Girls games or their purchase pages may display an "offer wall" that is hosted by an offer wall provider. The offer wall allows third party advertisers to provide virtual currency to users in exchange for interacting with an advertisement or for completing a marketing offer that may include signing up for an account with one of those advertisers. These are not offers made by Lucky Girls. These offers may be displayed to you based on certain technical information, such as your geographic area or anonymous demographic information. After clicking on one of these advertisements, you will no longer be on a site hosted by Lucky Girls or a partnering social network. To properly credit user accounts and to prevent fraud, a unique identifier, in some cases your user ID number, will be shared with the offer wall provider.

    Safety, Security and Compliance with Law

    Your information, and the contents of all of your online communications (including without limitation chat text, voice communications, IP addresses and your personal information) may be accessed and monitored as necessary to provide the Service and may be disclosed: (i) when We have a good faith belief that We are required to disclose the information in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); (ii) to satisfy any applicable laws or regulations; (iii) where We believe that the Service is being used in the commission of a crime, including to report such criminal activity or to exchange information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction; (iv) when We have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the health and/or safety of you, another person or the public generally; and (v) in order to protect the rights or property of Lucky Girls.

    Sale or Merger

    In the event that Lucky Girls undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, We may transfer all of your information, including personal information, to the successor organization in such transition. If material changes to Lucky Girls's privacy practices will occur as a result of the business transition, We will notify you and other users (in the manner described in Changes to Our Privacy Policy below) of the business transition prior to transferring your personal information.

    Our Policies Concerning Children

    Our websites and games are not intended for children under the age of 13 and We do not knowingly collect any personal information from such children. Children under the age of 13 should not use our websites or games at any time.
