Privacy policy

In a nutshell

• Naru is a social gaming platform built by Platonic Partnership. Any product built with Naru is subject to this privacy policy. Such products include, but are not limited to:
  • "Naru" (as a stand-alone platform application)
  • "Naru EDU" (educational version of Naru)
  • "Haastepeli" (stand-alone game)
• Naru - and therefore all products that are build on Naru - are built with Unity-software and use a Unity service called "Analytics". Analytics is used by Naru-platform to collect anonymous information on which games users play, which parts of the game users enter and which errors they occur etc. Naru uses COPPA-compliant version of Unity Analytics.
• Naru doesn't store or collect any user-specific device- or user information.
• Some Naru games might prompt for personal information like nicknames or names. In case this information is shared with other players, the game will show a warning before the game starts.
• Some multiplayer games (=games using multiple devices, does not apply to multiplayer games played on one device) might prompt for personal information via input fields. If this data is used across many players during the game, it's stored on Naru-server. In these cases, the information is permanently deleted from servers within the maximum time of one week.
• Some games use location data to provide gaming experiences. User is always prompted for permission for location tracking before doing so. If the game shares the location data, location data is stored on the server. Same data deletion rules mentioned above apply to location data.
• Data within the game is not coupled with device-specific information and no device-information is gathered. Any multi-player game data (user-prompted data like names or location data) is anonymous, unless players type in their real names. In these cases location data gathered during the game can be technically coupled with the users location during the game. All game session data is deleted within the time mentioned above.

Third party tools used by Naru-platform

Naru is built with Unity and is subject to Unity privacy policy: https://unity3d.com/legal/privacy-policy

In addition to the regular Unity services (including but not limited to Analytics and In-app purchases), some Naru-content provides features that use following content:

• Device location: During the game, location might be stored on the server. However, server data doesn't contain identifiable user information, unless user provides such. This might occur in games that use both user-prompted textual content and GPS location. Naru only uses location during the game.
• Device camera: Naru uses device camera to read QR-codes when joining Naru-sessions. Some Naru-games also use QR-code scanning as game mechanics. Some Naru-games might prompt user to take a picture and this picture is then analyzed with computer vision in Azure. Azure privacy policy can be found here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/cognitive-services-compliance-and-privacy/ Photos taken during the game might remain on Naru-server in Azure after the game session. However, Naru game sessions are cleared in frequent intervals and during that time, all possible user-provided data is cleared.
• Text-to-speech-services:
In case the game speaks (uses text-to-speech), speech is always synthesized on Microsoft Azure servers. In case the game speaks to users by their names, then this means the game sends user data to Microsoft Azure servers for speech synthesis. In this kind of cases, permission to do so is requested beforehand. Please review Microsoft Azure privacy policy for Microsoft data handling policies: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/cognitive-services-compliance-and-privacy/
