Flarie AB is a entertainment company. Our services includes the Flarie App, Flarie Studio, the Flarie Game-in-banner ad technology and others that link to this Privacy Policy. When you use these services, you’ll share some information with us. So we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with, and the choices we give you to control, access, and update your information. That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy. And it’s why we’ve tried to write it in a way that’s free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Of course, if you still have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us.
There are three categories of information we collect:
Information you choose to give us
Information we get when you use our services
Information we get from third parties
Here’s a little more detail on each of these categories.
The Flarie App & Flarie Studio
When you interact with our services, we collect the information that you choose to share with us. For example, most of our services require you to set up a basic Flarie account, so we need to collect a few important details about you, such as: your first name, last name, email address, gender and your birthday. To compete for prizes you’ll have to verify your account using your phone number. We take this information to prevent people from cheating by having several accounts.
If you choose to sign in with Facebook we will also get your Facebook id and your profile picture and a list of your friends Facebook ids that are already using Flarie to connect you to your friends
To make it easier for others to find you, you have the opportunity to upload a profile picture that will be publicly visible on our services
If you win a prize we may ask for additional information such as your home address in order to be able to send you the prize
Of course, you’ll also provide us whatever information you send through the services, such as feedback or if you decide to participate in our surveys about Flarie

Android ID and Apple ID for Advertising (IDFA)
When you are using our services, we may also automatically record your Google Advertising ID (if you are using an Android device) or your Advertising Identifier (IDFA – if you are using an iOS device, together with the Google Advertising ID – "Mobile Advertising IDs"), for advertising or analytics purposes. The Google Advertising ID is an anonymous identifier, provided by Google Play services. If your device has an Advertising ID, we may collect and use it for advertising and user analytics purposes. The information collected may be stored on your device. Please see below how you can reset you mobile Advertising ID or opt-out of receiving targeted ads through your mobile Advertising IDs.
Apple devices
If you have an Apple device, you can opt out of targeted advertising by updating to iOS 6.0 or higher, and setting "Limit Ad Tracking" to "ON". You can do this by clicking on Settings -> Privacy -> Advertising, and activating "Limit Ad Tracking". This prevents apps that you use from using your Apple device’s Advertising Identifier to serve you targeted ads. In addition, or as an alternative, you may reset your device’s Advertising Identifier, which will result in your device being disassociated from ad targeting profiles based on the Advertising Identifier in effect prior to reset. You can do this by clicking on Settings -> Privacy -> Advertising -> Reset Advertising Identifier. Again, you should consult Apple’s support web pages and instructions for the most current applicable settings.
Android devices
If you have an Android device, you can opt out of targeted advertising on your device. You can do this by clicking the menu icon to display the apps list, then find and select the Google Settings icon, then find and select "Ads" and check the box "Opt out of interest-based ads". In addition, or as an alternative, you may reset your device’s Android advertising ID, which will result in your device being disassociated from ad targeting profiles based on the Android advertising ID in effect prior to reset. You can do this by clicking the menu icon to display the apps list, then find and select the Google Settings icon, then find and select "Ads" and selecting "Reset advertising ID". Note that Android settings menus may vary among device manufacturers and these instructions may not be accurate for your device. You should consult Google’s settings and instructions for the most current settings information.
