and
● questionnaires or survey results and information
regarding use of the Nimbuzz Services.
2. HOW AND WHY DOES NIMBUZZ USE YOUR
PERSONAL INFORMATION? Our reasons for collecting information relating to
you or your Device are to enable Nimbuzz (or
sometimes other data processors selected by
Nimbuzz) to provide the Nimbuzz Services to you in
an effective and satisfactory way, as follows: ● processing your log-ins, messages and calls and
enabling the other features of the Nimbuzz
Services;
● receiving payment from you for Nimbuzz Paid
Services, and sending you a receipt or
communications regarding your purchases or
orders;
● providing you with customer support,
responding to questions and helping to resolve
problems;
● informing you about service updates or
problems;
● resolving disputes;
● verifying your identity;
● for legal reasons, e.g., checking that you comply
with the Terms of Use and Nimbuzz policies, and
preventing crime and fraud;
● customizing, understanding users’ use of, and
improving the Nimbuzz Services and Nimbuzz
Website (this includes customization of
advertising based on your location, or features
such as indicating when you were last online,
notifying your contacts when you are playing a Nimbuzz game or permitting you to invite them
to participate in Nimbuzz games); and
● informing you of additional products, services
and offers provided by Nimbuzz. Nimbuzz stores the personal information in
different data files kept on servers based in the
Netherlands. Nimbuzz undertakes to ensure
security of the data, including where such servers
may be operated by third party data processors
under Nimbuzz’s responsibility. If we provide a method for you to invite friends to
join Nimbuzz, then their contact information will
only be used for the purposes of automatically
generating a message to these potential Nimbuzz
users. Nimbuzz Services also have a function that
can check the contacts in your address book against the list of Nimbuzz users and informs you of
existing contacts that are already registered for
Nimbuzz Services and with whom you may want to
connect.
If you are already in the address book of
other Nimbuzz Services users they be informed that
you are a Nimbuzz user you so that they can decide whether to connect with you.
If we process data regarding the location of your
Device then (i) in case of services such as allowing
location requests from your Nimbuzz contacts, you
will be able to switch this functionality on or off at
any time within the Nimbuzz Services, and (ii)
where this is used in order to provide advertising appropriate to your locality then we may provide
this to our third party advertising partners but
never in a form that you will be able to be identified
from this data; and your acceptance of this privacy
statement constitutes consent for this processing.
8. CONTACTING YOU 3. DOES NIMBUZZ TRANSFER YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION TO ANYONE ELSE? Nimbuzz does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise
transfer any personal information, log-in
information, communications data or
communications content to any third party without
your express permission (unless it is obliged to do
so under applicable laws or by order of the competent authorities) except as set out in this
Statement.
If any such authority lawfully requests Nimbuzz or
one of Nimbuzz’s partners to retain and provide
personal information, communications content
and/or communications data, or permit monitoring
or interception, Nimbuzz and/or its partner will
comply with that request without being obliged to inform you.
Nimbuzz operates internationally and may transfer
the data for processing in different countries,
including by Nimbuzz group companies, outside of
your home country.

particular advert) is used to deliver adverts to you.
In addition, we may use profile information about
you (e.g., your gender, age or pastimes) to provide
advertisements that are more likely to be of interest
to you.

provide when you create or manage your Nimbuzz
