Last update: May 24, 2018
Mighty Kingdom Pty Ltd ACN 149 485 165 (“Mighty Kingdom”, “us”, “our” or “we”) is committed to safeguarding your (“users”, “you”) privacy online. It is very important to us that you should be able to use and enjoy this website and our apps, without having to worry about your privacy in any way. Please also view our children’s privacy policy located here.
We want to be transparent in explaining how and why we handle your personal information. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes the ways we collect, store, use, and manage the information, including personal information and data that you provide or that we collect in connection with our websites, including www.mightykingdom.com, www.kittykeeper.com (the “Sites”), or any apps published by Mighty Kingdom, including, but not limited to, Kitty Keeper: Cat Collector, Shopkins World!, Shopkins World Vacation, Shopkins: Chef Club, Shopkins: Shoppie Style, Shopkins Dash!, Shopkins: Shoppie Dash!, Shopkins Run!, Shopkins: Sticker Fun!, Cutie Cars, LEGO Friends: Heartlake Rush, Wild Life: Puzzle Story (the “Apps”).
In this Privacy Policy, the Site and Apps are referred to collectively as the “Platforms”.
This Privacy Policy also helps you understand how you can update the information we collect and how you can manage and request the export and/or deletion of your personal information.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection, use or disclosure of personal and non-personal information through any apps for which Mighty Kingdom is not the publisher.
By using the Platforms, you, and, where applicable, your parent/guardian (for themselves and on your behalf) acknowledge that you have read and agreed to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use any of our Platforms.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. Please check the Privacy Policy each time you use our Platforms to ensure you are aware of any changes in our privacy practices. Our Privacy Policy will indicate the date it was last updated. Your continued use of our Platforms will constitute your acceptance of the changes to our Privacy Policy. If there is a substantive or material change in the way that we use your personal information, we will notify you via email of the relevant changes or otherwise provide a prominent notice. If you choose to opt-out of or not opt-in to our changed practice, our email communication (if applicable) will contain instructions on how to do so. If such change affects children users, we will first notify and obtain the prior verifiable consent of the child’s parent or legal guardian.
WHAT DOES MIGHTY KINGDOM DO?
Mighty Kingdom successfully develop and publish mobile apps with quality brands licensed by others, as well as our own developed brands. We are known for creating successful games with brands such as Disney, LEGO, Moose Toys, and KitCatCo.
HOW WE PROTECT THE ONLINE PRIVACY OF CHILDREN UNDER 13
Mighty Kingdom takes many precautions to protect the online privacy of children. Whenever we refer to “children” in this Privacy Policy, we mean children under the age of 13. Please help us in protecting children’s privacy by instructing them to never provide any personal information (full name, email address, home address, phone number, etc.) without your permission.
Mighty Kingdom follows the principles of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), a U.S. law designed to protect the online privacy of children, in our online services and Apps that are directed to children. If you would like to learn more about COPPA, you can refer to the “Children’s Privacy” section of the United States Federal Trade Commission’s website.
Mighty Kingdom also implements technical and organisational measures to help protect children’s personal data in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is the European Union (EU) data protection law that became effective on May 25, 2018.
Currently, Mighty Kingdom does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children or within the child-directed portions of our Platforms except as otherwise outlined in this Privacy Policy. Where we collect and store personal information from children, we do so in accordance with the requirements of COPPA and the GDPR (to the extent they are applicable) by obtaining the consent of the child’s parent or legal guardian before such collection, unless the collection of information falls within an exception that is permitted under COPPA or GDPR (as applicable).
In our Apps directed to children users, we may collect pseudonymised information which includes persistent identifiers such as a transaction ID to verify purchases, which is encrypted upon collection. This information is collected solely for the purpose of providing functionality and support for our internal operations and optimising our users’ game experience.
The Apps may contain advertisements or advertising messages about Mighty Kingdom or third party products and services. In any case, Mighty Kingdom does not permit behaviourally-targeted advertising to children in the Apps or in the Platforms where user is under the age of 13.
THE TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT AS YOU USE OUR PLATFORMS
Mighty Kingdom collects and holds personal information (which includes information that can be used to identify a specific individual) about people who come into contact with us, including users of the Platforms. Mighty Kingdom does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children outside of the information required for the support of internal operations. You may view our children’s privacy policy here.
We collect information to provide better services to all of our users – from delivering advertising that you want to see, to understanding how you play our games and what we can do to make the experience better for you.
Mighty Kingdom may collect non-personal information about your use of the Platforms to help us improve our services or for other purposes as described in this Privacy Policy. We may combine the non-personal and personal information you provide us through our Platforms and third party services, such as via a support email. Information collected will vary depending upon the user’s activity.
APPS, BROWSERS AND DEVICES
The information we collect includes the following:
Contact information (such as name and email address). In the case of Apps directed to children users, the child’s name and/or email addresses is only collected after express parental consent from the child’s parent or legal guardian has been provided. Contact information may be used for the purposes of email marketing. Contact information may also be required for users to create an account with us or to otherwise use our Platforms;

We may also collect information about your computer, hardware, software, platform, media, connection, IP address or Device ID to enable you to use our Platforms over the internet (unless the Platforms is directed at children under 13).

We use an IP address or Device ID to help diagnose problems with our servers, administer our Platforms, analyse trends, track users’ movement on our Platforms, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the Platforms, and deliver customised, personalised content.
