Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand our practices with respect to personal data.
1. What personal information do we collect from you?
We collect personal information in a variety of ways. In this section, we disclose the
different situations in which we collect your personal data and how each type of information
will be handled.
1.1 Personal information directly provided by you (or our third party service providers):
1.1.1 If you create an account directly on our website or if you register in QUDO-integrating
games, we will collect your email and temporarily your IP address for security reasons, which will
then be stored alongside with the username that you have chosen and an encrypted version of your password.
1.1.2 When you create a QUDO account we will also automatically attach a Telos wallet to it,
in which together with all activity done inside the blockchain cannot be deleted.
1.1.3 Whenever you edit your profile, we collect the information that you voluntarily provide
us (title and profile picture, for instance). You don’t have to supply additional information in your
profile, but it will enhance your experience with our services, namely, the ability to be identified
by other players.
1.1.4 Anytime you complete an in-app purchase (e.g. acquiring QUDO or using it to buy items
and services), it will be visible for everyone through blockchain and cannot be deleted, since
transparency is a core feature of most blockchain projects, including ours (Telos), but neither your
username nor email will be visible, only your Telos account.
1.1.5 We will also gather contact information handed over by you (including name, email
address and phone number) in case you reach out to us via our website, raise a complaint, request
technical support or report an issue with any of our services. This information will only be available
to us.
1.2 Personal information that we collect whenever you use our services (regardless of you registering with us)
1.2.1 The IP address used to connect your computer to the internet.
1.2.2 PII regarding your location, device type and model, operating system, version and platform,
and any apps you are using in conjunction with our services.
1.2.3 Personal information related to your use of our services, including any purchase made, the number of
times you visit and/or use any of the aforementioned services and the amount of time you spend on them.
1.2.4 The period of time your account is active in order to offer QUDO as network rewards. This information
will also be visible through the Blockchain, similar to the transaction process mentioned in the section 1.1.4.
We will sometimes use third party analytical companies to help us gather this personal
information in order to find new potential entities and analyze their behavior in our websites.
The subsequent section clarifies this procedure.
2. What do we do with your personal information?
2.1 Personal data necessary to perform a contract
One reason we might use your information is because you have entered into an agreement
with us when you register in our website to participate in our services.
QUDO was developed for the gaming industry, creating an ecosystem between game developers,
players and services. The personal data you provide is collected, stored and managed in order
to enable the connection between all users (game developers, players and service providers),
making it possible for everyone to communicate with each other. This includes:
2.1.1 Providing you with an optimized service across the different devices and platforms.
2.1.2 Restrain customers from attempting to use our services from a restricted territory.

In order to make our services work efficiently in a secure way, we (along with our third parties) need
to use your personal data. We have a legitimate interest in handling your PII in the best way possible
and we do not believe that this storage and usage of information will be of a particular concern to you.
For disclosure purposes, your data will be necessary to provide and improve our services, including the
protection of your account, assure technical support, help you find suitable content and enable the
features of your personal page on our website. The above-mentioned operations solely prevail until
those interests are overridden by your own or by fundamental rights and freedoms that require
protection of personal data.
2.3 Personal data with your consent
If you provided your consent when creating an account with us, we will collect, store and use your
email address, as well as data related to how you benefit from our services. We proceed this way in
order to get in contact with you, help you take the most out of our services and periodically send
you a newsletter with our latest news and updates.
You can opt-out at any point by clicking “unsubscribe” in any of our email communications,
which means you will no longer receive newsletters or other marketing messages. It must
be highlighted, however, that unsubscribing may translate into adverse consequences,
particularly, the suppression of certain services.
3. Anonymous Data
We will also collect anonymous details about visitors for the purpose of creating
aggregate statistics, which means that no single individual will be identifiable
while we operate with this type of information.
4. Personal Data
4.1 How We Share Your Personal Data
We may share your personal data inside the QUDO dashboard and affiliates, in order to connect game
developers, players and service providers. The PII can then be shared via:

our community (i.e. game developers, players, service providers and Block Bastards organization
members and its affiliates).
4.1.2 Games/Services: Your games/services will be also visible in the QUDO dashboard the
same way your profile is.

protection laws and will take appropriate safeguards to ensure its integrity and protection.
