Children’s Privacy

There are no third-party ads in our apps, but we do cross promote our other products or the products on our related companies. The only service providers we use in our apps are used to support our internal operations and we do not collect anything that is directly identifiable, such as names, email addresses and other contact information in our apps for children.

To help us provide you with the best service, we work with the following analytics service providers Backtrace, Firebase and Google Analytics in our apps for children. These companies act as service providers for Toca Boca and are not allowed to use the data that they collect for their own purposes.

These companies help us to understand your use of the apps. In association with them, we may collect your unique device identifier, IP address, mobile phone carrier, game progress, time spent playing, achievements and for bug and crash reports. This information is for internal use only and can´t be shared. It’s just collected for us to help us improve our services for you.

We also work with AppsFlyer as an attribution provider to help us understand your interactions with the apps and to optimize and analyze mobile ad campaigns. We have implemented AppsFlyer with the strictest configurations possible to ensure the privacy protection of our users. This means that we do not let AppsFlyer collect any device identifier and we anonymize any IP address that is collected. If you have any questions about our collection and use please contact us at dpo@spinmaster.com.
