Thank you for using Pikachu Talk (hereafter called “This Service”). This privacy statement describes how The Pokémon Company (hereafter called “The Company”) collects or handles your personal information when you use our application through Google Home devices (“Devices”). Please note that the Company is not responsible for the data practices of Google. Please see their privacy statement for information about how they use your personal data.

Information We Collect.

When you use This Service, we do not receive your voice utterances or audio files collected by Google through Devices (for information about how Google uses these audio files visit their privacy statement). We only receive the converted text files containing the content and information about the nature of requests (“Intents”) you make through these Devices (for example, if you say “sing me a song” we may receive the text file with this phrase (but not the audio file) and a “sing Intent” code that lets us know you want to hear Pikachu sing). We receive these text, Intent, and your usage information such as the times you use This Service and how often, whether or not you played a tutorial in connection with a unique ID that does not personally identify you to us. We use this unique ID to provide This Service and deliver appropriate responses to your requests (for example, if you say “sing a song” we receive the text file of your request and the “sing Intent” code with your unique ID, and we send an appropriate response of Pikachu singing a song to the Device with that unique ID). We do not request, nor do we intend to collect, any information that can directly identify you when you use This Service. In any event, we ask that you please not provide any personal information when you use This Service (for example, do not say your name as part of a request).

We use Google Analytics from Google Inc. to understand how you use This Service. Using your unique ID and IP address, Google Analytics collects, records and analyzes the usage of This Service and The Company receives aggregated analytics reports that help us understand how This Service is used and popular Intents. To learn more, visit the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

How We Use, Transfer, and Retain Information We Collect.

We use your unique ID and text files and the Intents of your requests to match and provide appropriate voice responses from This Service. We also use this information to analyze how you and others use This Service so that we can provide and improve This Service. We do not use your unique ID to track activities across third party websites or online services.

This Service may store and process information from This Service in the U.S. and other countries that may not have the same data protection laws as in your jurisdiction. We retain your personal information for only as long as necessary to provide This Service, operate our business, and comply with our obligations. For example, we only retain text files of your requests for so long as needed to create Intents.

• with our corporate affiliates, subsidiaries, and related entities for purposes related to This Service;

• with third party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who work for us and need access to your information to do that work;

• to comply with laws or to respond to lawful requests and legal process, including requests from public authorities and to meet national security and law enforcement requirements

• in connection with or during negotiation of any merger, financing, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, transaction or proceeding involving sale, transfer, divestiture or disclosure of all or a portion of our business or assets to another company.
