A copy of the safeguards in place may be obtained by writing to the Data Protection Contact.
8. In-Game Advertising
The Game and the Website may display advertising content (banner ads, sponsored content), the conditions of which are described in Article 9 of the General Terms.
8.1 Contextual vs. Personalised Advertising
Contextual advertising is displayed without using the Player's personal data and without profiling. The selection of the advertisement depends solely on the context of consultation (page or screen displayed). No consent is required for this purpose. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of MAKETOOLS in monetising the free version of the Game.
Personalised advertising is displayed only with the Player's prior, free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent, given through the consent management mechanism. Personalised advertising involves the processing of Account, technical and game data in order to select advertisements likely to correspond to the Player's interests and to measure their performance.
You may at any time grant, refuse or withdraw your consent for personalised advertising via the dedicated tool accessible from your Account settings or, where applicable, the cookie/consent banner. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
8.2 Players Aged 13 to 17
In accordance with Article 28, paragraph 2 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), MAKETOOLS does not display personalised advertising to Players whom it knows or has reasonable grounds to believe to be minors (under 18). Players aged 13 to 17 are shown only contextual advertising, without profiling or behavioural targeting based on their personal data.
8.3 Advertising Partners
Where personalised advertising is displayed, data may be shared with advertising platforms and intermediaries (ad servers, ad exchanges, attribution and measurement providers) acting as joint controllers or independent controllers, in accordance with their own privacy policies. The current list of main advertising partners can be obtained on request to the Data Protection Contact.
8.4 Subscription and Removal of Advertising
In accordance with Article 9.4 of the General Terms, holders of an active paid Subscription do not see in-game advertising. The personal data processing described in this Article is therefore not carried out for them in relation to advertising.
