Privacy Policy

For more information or if you have any questions about this privacy statement, please contact us at habbitprivacy@bitgreen.org.

1. Personal Information

Your privacy is very important to all of us at Bitgreen Switzerland Association ("Bitgreen", "Bitgreen", "we", "our", or "us"). We have established this privacy statement ("Privacy Statement") to explain to you how your personal information is protected, collected, and used when you play or otherwise interact with the Habbit game via Telegram (the "Game"). Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable, such as your name, email address, and other information that is not otherwise publicly available ("Personal Information").

This statement applies to information we collect via the Game, in email, text, and other electronic messages between you and the Game, and through mobile and desktop applications you download to play the Game, which provide dedicated non-browser-based interaction between you and the Game.

Please read this Privacy Statement carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use the Game. By accessing or using the Game, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Privacy Statement. This Privacy Statement may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Game after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Privacy Statement periodically for updates. This Privacy Statement is incorporated into and subject to the terms of your SaaS Agreement with us.

2. Information Collection & Use

To access the Game, you will be required to create a user account, including user ID and password, and input certain Personal Information, including your email address.

Once you agree to provide us with Personal Information, you are no longer anonymous to us. If you choose to use and/or purchase certain ancillary products or services we may require you to provide contact and identity information, billing information, and other Personal Information as indicated on the forms throughout the Game. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which are optional. You always have the option to not provide information by choosing not to use or purchase a particular product or service.

We may track certain information based upon your behavior on the Game. We use this information to do internal research on users’ demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand our customers. This information may include, but may not be limited to, your name, email address, Telegram username, and other data and identifiers.

If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Game, we may collect and retain such information in a file specific to you.

The information we collect through the Game may include:

• Information that you provide by filling in forms and interacting with the Game. This includes information provided at the time of registering to use the Game, subscribing to our service, posting material, or requesting further services. We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with the Game.
• Records and copies of your correspondence (including email addresses), if you contact us.
• Details of transactions you carry out through the Game and of the fulfillment of your orders. You may be required to provide financial information before placing an order through the Game.

3. Use of Your Personal Information

We use your Personal Information, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Game to: present the Game and its contents to you; resolve disputes; troubleshoot problems; measure consumer interest in our products and services; inform you about online and offline offers, products, services, and updates; customize your experience on the Game; detect and protect us against error, fraud and other criminal activity; to enforce our Terms of Use; and as otherwise described to you at the time of collection. We may compare and review your Personal Information for errors, omissions, and accuracy.

You agree that we may use your general Personal Information, including your email address, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyze Game usage, to improve the Games and related services, and to customize the Game’s content, workflow, and related services. These uses improve the Game and better tailor it to meet your needs, so as to provide you with a smooth, efficient, safe, and customized experience while interacting with the Game and the website utilized to register for the Game.

However, we have identified certain categories of Personal Information that we regard as potentially very sensitive ("Sensitive Personal Information"). These include "seeds" and "weeds" that you designate during the Game (such as a desire to reduce smoking, exercise more, etc.) Although it is necessary to record this type of Sensitive Personal Information to enable Gameplay, we restrict internal access in the Company to Sensitive Personal Information and will not refer to it or use it for any marketing or promotional efforts.

4. Communications from Bitgreen

Although our primary communications will relate to the Game, we may occasionally send you information on products, services, special deals, and promotions. Out of respect for your privacy, we provide you a way to unsubscribe from each of these communications. If you no longer wish to receive our promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the instructions included in each such communication or by contacting us.

We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if access to our products is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email or text message. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, please do not submit your Personal Information through the Game. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may send us a return email asking to be omitted from future email distributions. This opt out does not apply to information provided to us as a result of a product purchase, warranty registration, product service experience, or other transactions.

5. Information Sharing and Disclosure

As a matter of policy, we do not sell, rent, or share any of your Personal Information, including your email address, to unrelated third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. However, the following describes some of the ways that your Personal Information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business to provide our services and products to customers:

• Purpose: We may disclose your Personal Information to fulfill the purpose for which you provide it.
• Legal Requests: Bitgreen cooperates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights, to help protect you, other users, and Bitgreen from bad actors. Therefore, in response to a verified request by law enforcement or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, city, state, telephone number, email address, username history, and fraud complaints without a subpoena. Without limiting the above, in an effort to respect your privacy, we will not otherwise disclose your Personal Information to law enforcement or other government officials without a subpoena, court order or substantially similar legal procedure, except when we believe in good faith that the disclosure of information is necessary to prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or report suspected illegal activity.
• Commercial affiliates. We may disclose your Personal Information to commercial affiliates bearing the "Bitgreen" name or trademark.
• Other Disclosures: We may also disclose your Personal Information if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bitgreen, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other Personal Information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Statement. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose Personal Information, including your email address, to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your Personal Information that they collect from Bitgreen. Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should neither rely upon nor expect, that your Personal Information or private communications will always remain private.

We may disclose aggregated information about our users, and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

6. Cookies and Related Technologies

When you use the Game, we collect certain information by automated electronic means.

7. Rights to Access and Control Your Personal Information

Any personal data that we collect is based upon your consent as detailed in this Privacy Statement. You have many choices concerning the collection, use, and sharing of your data, including the ability to:

• Delete Data: You may request that we delete your Personal Information. Please note that in some cases we cannot delete your Personal Information except by also deleting your user account.
• Change or Correct Data: You can also ask us to change, update, or fix your data in certain cases, particularly if it’s inaccurate.
• Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: You may request that we do not use your Personal Information, but keep in mind that this will terminate our ability to provide any Service(s) to you.
• Right to Access and/or Take Your Data: You can ask us for a copy of your Personal Information.

You may send us an email at habbitprivacy@bitgreen.org to request access to, obtain copies of, correct, or delete any Personal Information that you have provided to us. Your email message must include (i) your identifying information, (ii) your contact information, and (iii) information about the specific changes, deletions, or other action(s) you are requesting. We require this information so we can determine which information in our control is your Personal Information and complete the actions you requested. We may not accommodate a request to delete or change information if we believe the deletion would violate any law or legal requirement.

You should understand that your disclosure of Personal Information through the Telegram application is also subject to the privacy policies of Telegram. Telegram is an independent third party and we have no control over Telegram. Additionally, if you disclose Personal Information to people in your Game group, we have no control over the use of such data by such people. The Game is intentionally designed to avoid the need for disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information to people in your Game group, and you assume all risks and consequences for such if you elect to do so voluntarily.

8. Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section § 1798.83 permits users of the Game that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to habbit@bitgreen.org

10. Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect Personal Information, including your email address, submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Game.
