As a condition of downloading, accessing or playing the Sewer Run Game, the Personal Information we may collect from you, includes:
a) Device Identifiers: When you interact with our Services, we do not require you to provide information that identifies you personally. Instead, we collect and identify your device primarily using your mobile device identifier, e.g. Apple’s iOS Identifier for Database Support as well as other identifiers.
b) Usernames: If you would like to participate in our leader boards, keep track of your game progress or play our multiplayer games, we may ask you to provide a username. To help protect your privacy, please do not choose a username which could be used to personally identify you, e.g. “JohnSmith”.

e) Information from Others: We collect information about you when we receive it from other users, third parties, and affiliates. For example, when you connect your account to third-party services or sign in using a third-party partner (like Google Play Game Services or iOS Game Center), we collect information in accordance with the privacy policies and authorization procedures determined by those services.
4. How do we collect the Personal Information?
4.1 Generally
We aim to collect Personal Information directly from you. However, we may also collect Personal Information from our Associated Third Parties. If at any time you supply Personal Information to us about any other person, you represent, and we accept that information solely on the basis that you are authorised to do so, and that the relevant person has consented to the disclosure to us.
4.2 Disclosing Personal Information
We may disclose your Personal Information to third parties in certain circumstances including:
a) if you agree to the disclosure;
b) where required for our operational purposes;
c) for the primary purpose for which it was collected, e.g. to provide you with products services or to facilitate the provision of those products or services to you;
d) to our Associated Third Parties;
e) to the Queensland Audit Office;
f) where you would reasonably be expected to consent to information of that kind being passed to a third party;
g) where disclosure is required or permitted by law, by court order or to investigate suspected fraud or other unlawful activity; or
h) if disclosure will prevent or lessen a serious or imminent threat to someone's life or health.
If we disclose any Personal Information to an Associated Third Party, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the Associated Third Party is bound to deal with any Personal Information in accordance with section 35 of the Information Privacy Act.
5. Storing Personal Information and Security
5.1 Storage
Depending upon the purposes for which we have collected the Personal Information, we retain it in our record management system on electronic databases. We retain Personal Information in paper or electronic media in accordance with the Public Records Act 2002 (Qld) and the general retention and disposal schedule issued by the Queensland State Archives. After that period we may, however, retain Personal Information for as long as is necessary to comply with any applicable law, for the prevention of fraud, for insurance and governance purposes, in our IT back-up, for the collection of any monies owed and to resolve disputes. When the Personal Information we collect is no longer required, to the extent we can, we remove or deidentify the Personal Information.
5.2 Security
The steps we take to protect your Personal Information include electronic and physical security measures, information security policies and procedures, staff training and use of password protection software. Our employees are also bound by the Public Sector Ethics Act 1994 (Qld) and
the principles under that Act. While we take active steps to protect Personal Information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised
access, modification or disclosure, no system is completely secure against cyber-attack. You should contact us immediately if you believe that someone has unlawfully gained access to your Personal Information or you consider that we have breached our privacy obligations to you in any way.
