We take your privacy seriously
Welcome to Funexpected, a studio of mathematicians, educators, designers, and developers building engaging educational games for kids.

We take privacy seriously at Funexpected and this policy is designed to describe the information we collect from users through our website, located at funexpectedapps.com ('Website'), mobile and tablet applications ('Applications') and services made available through the Website and Applications (collectively 'Services') and how we use it.
We last updated the contents of this policy on August 08, 2023. Funexpected may change or update the Privacy Policy at any time as we add new or different features, or as the applicable laws change. Thus, you should review the Privacy Policy frequently. The changes are effective upon posting.

What kind of information is collected?
There are two types of information that may be collected.

'Anonymous Information' means information that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Information and does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons.

Tracking technologies on our Website
Facebook Pixel
We use the 'visitor action pixels' from Facebook Inc. on our Website. This allows user behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to our Website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you, based on our knowledge of the situation. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook's Data Usage Policy. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads in your account settings. Facebook is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield Agreement and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection legislation.
Google Analytics
In order to optimize our Website, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ('Google'). Google Analytics uses 'cookies', which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how you use this website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If the IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will previously be truncated by Google within the EU member states or EEA member states. Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be transferred to Google on a server in the United States and thereafter be truncated. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address that was transmitted by your browser will not be combined by Google with any other data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website. You may also prevent the collection of the data that was generated by the cookie and that is related to the use of the Website (including your IP address) as well as its processing by Google by downloading and installing a browser plugin that is available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Additional information thereto is available at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/600424... (general information to Google Analytics and privacy). This Website uses Google Analytics with its extension code 'gat._anonymizeIp()' so that IP addresses will therefore only be processed in a shortened form to prevent persons from being identified.
