Personal Data means any information which may potentially allow your identification with reasonable means (for example, email address or name). Non-Personal Data, by contrast, can be defined as any information that does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person. This may include, for example, your aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device (e.g. the device you use, the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time, etc.). This section sets out how and when we collect those types of data from you.

If you choose to log in, access or otherwise connect to the Services through a social networking service (such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.), we may collect your user ID and/or username associated with that social networking service, as well as any information you make public using that social networking service or that the social networking service allows us to access.

1.2 Payment Information. When you decide to deposit money in our Apps, you will be required to provide us with your billing information.

After you opt-out, we may continue to share some Personal Data with our partners (who will function as our service providers in such instance) to help us perform business-related functions such as, but not limited to, providing the Services, ensuring that the Services is working correctly and securely, providing aggregate statistics and analytics and/or preventing fraud.

However, in some circumstances, for example where you have requested or consented to our Services that use your Personal Data to provide the service, we may not be able to provide a service if you choose to delete your Personal Data

You can exercise your rights by submitting a verifiable consumer request to our physical address (as written below in the "How to contact us" section) or to our email address: privacy@bananaz.win.

Describe your request with sufficient details to allow us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Data if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Data relates to you.

We will only use Personal Data provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Designating Agents

You can designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf if:

The authorized agent is a natural person or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State of California; and
You sign a written declaration that you authorize the authorized agent to act on your behalf.
