The Talent Games Pvt Ltd. (“The Talent Games”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) values the trust our users (“you”) place in us when they give us access to their personally-identifiable information (“Personal Information”). This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we work to maintain that trust.
The Talent Games has created this Policy in order to outline our collection, use, and sharing of information you provide to us when you access or use The Talent Games’ online and/or mobile services and websites (collectively, the “Site”), including, without limitation, TheTalentGames.com, any The Talent Games mobile application, and any software provided by The Talent Games in connection with such services or websites. This Privacy Policy covers only information that we collect through the Site, and not any other information collection or processing outside of the Site.
Please note that we reserve the right to review and update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Accordingly, each time you access or use the Site, you should check the Last Updated legend at the top of this Policy and review any changes since you last accessed or used the Site. If you access or use the Site after an updated Privacy Policy is published, you will be deemed to have agreed to the amended Policy.

Information Provided by You Upon Creating an Account
When you create and register a user account (“Account”) on the Site, you may be asked to provide or confirm certain pieces of Personal Information, which may include one or more of the following:
We may supplement the Personal Information you provide with additional Personal Information we gather from public sources or from third-parties (e.g., consumer reporting agencies) that may lawfully provide such information to us.
You are under no obligation to provide your Personal Information, with the caveat that your refusal to do so may prevent you from using certain of the Site’s features and services.
We and our service providers use cookies, beacons, embedded scripts, and local shared objects in connection with the Site.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or device when you visit our Site. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites to collect information about visitors’ activities while using the website.
Beacons are small graphical images (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) that may be included on our Site and typically work in conjunction with cookies to assist our site with the automated collection data on user behavior. The Talent Games will not be able to personally identify you in connection with these practices.
An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your computer or device from our web server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Site and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
Local Shared Objects. Local shared objects (or Flash cookies) are pieces of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on a user’s computer or device.
The above technologies are used in analyzing trends; administering the Site and its features and services; tracking users’ movements around the Site; and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
We use cookies to remember users’ settings, market products and services to users, and for authentication purposes. To manage the cookies that are placed on your computer, you may configure your internet browser to refuse, accept, or delete cookies from our Site at any time. The “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies; how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie; or how to disable cookies altogether. Please note that if cookies are disabled or removed, not all features of our Site will operate as intended.
Third-Party Analytics
We may also use service providers, such as Google Analytics, that may use cookies or other technologies to collect information about your online activities across this and other sites over time for non-advertising purposes such as those described above. To learn more about how Google Analytics collects and processes data and the choices Google may offer to control these activities, you may visit http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners/.
We use the information we collect to manage, analyze, develop, customize, and improve our Site as well as our products and services (including our Games). We sometimes use automated decision making in processing your information, such as to create your “Profile.” Your “Profile” is used to help inform employer decisions by determining your “fit” by comparing your individual results against the results of a general candidate pool.
We may use this information to authorize and administer your access to the Site, verify your identity, authenticate your visits, and provide our products and services to you. We may also use your information to improve and personalize your experience with us (including showing you relevant information such as your job matches), and, with your consent where necessary, notify you when you match a new open role on the Site, notify you when a recruiter or another user contacts you, remind you to finish any incomplete Games or Video submissions, send you information about us, and keep you informed of our products and services that may be of interest to you. We may combine your Personal Information with other Personal Information lawfully collected from third parties in order to better market and provide our products and services.
We may use this information to understand and respond to your question or comment, and/or reach out to you regarding your business inquiry or request regarding our products and services.
We use passively collected information to monitor and maintain the performance of our Sites; analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our services; validate users and ensure their technological compatibility with users; optimize our marketing efforts; and to provide our products and services to you, including analyzing your Gameplay Data and Video submissions, and developing your Profile.
We may use your Personal Information and passively-collected information to create aggregate or de-identified data, such as data that describes the general demographics, usage, Gameplay Data, or other characteristics of a Site’s users. We reserve the right to use, transfer, and/or sell aggregated or de-identified data about the Site’s users for any lawful purposes. We also reserve the right to use such information in collaboration with outside researchers to measure and quantify the effectiveness of our products and services.
If you were directed to visit the Site, create an Account (or to sign into your existing Account), and play the Games or submit Videos as part of the job application process for a specific employer, then we may use your information to assess your fit to the specific role(s) for this employer. In such a scenario, you would be deemed a “Job Candidate.”
We may use your information for any additional purpose which you separately authorize in the course of accessing and using our Site.
If European data protection law applies and we act as a controller, our lawful basis for collecting and using the information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the information concerned and the specific context in which we collect or use it. We normally collect or use information from you or others only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may have a legal
obligation to collect or retain personal information or may need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in Section 8 of this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information of our users is an integral part of our business. We reserve the right to share your Personal Information with third parties as described below. We also reserve the right to transfer and/or sell other types of data, including aggregated or de-identified data derived from Personal Information, for lawful purposes in our discretion. Note that we do not share Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
We, like many businesses, sometimes hire other companies (“Service Providers”) to perform certain business-related functions. Examples include customer service, maintaining databases, data storage, cloud services, and hosting services. When we employ a Service Provider to perform a function of this nature, we provide it with the information that it needs to perform its specific function, which may include Personal Information and other information that you provide to us via the Site. These Service Providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide these services to us.
We may disclose Personal Information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) comply with a subpoena or similar legal obligation; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site or the public; (d) protect against legal liability; or (e) or as otherwise required or permitted by law.
If you are a job candidate playing the Games as part of the job application process, then we share your Personal Information and Profile with the employer and any third party that is pertinent to the employment application process for the specific role(s) you are applying to through our Site.
As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution, total or partial sale of assets in bankruptcy or similar event, your Personal Information and other information may be part of the transferred assets.
We may disclose your information to other third parties with your prior express consent.
You hereby consent to our sharing of your Personal Information and other information for the above

Blogs and Public Features of the Sites
Our Site may contain features, e.g. job boards, forums, sharing functions, etc., that permit you to upload, post, transmit, display, perform, or distribute content and information, including your Personal Information.

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We take commercially reasonable steps to help protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

While we take all the steps we consider appropriate to protect your data, including technical and organization measures to ensure that your Personal Information is handled securely in accordance with this Privacy Policy; unfortunately, no company can fully eliminate security risks, so we cannot make guarantees about any part of our services. Please create a unique password for your Account and do not share your password with anyone else.
