Advertising of Third Party Products/Services We will not actively share personal information with third party advertisers for their direct marketing purposes unless we obtain your consent. We may share
(a) aggregated information (information about you and other NZiN users collectively, but not specifically identifiable to you); (b) anonymous information; and (c) certain technical information (including IP Addresses,
MAC Addresses for IDs for mobile and online devices) to develop and deliver targeted advertising in the third party advertiser’s website or application. We may also allow advertisers to collect these and similar types of information

a practice known as behavioral advertising, and to undertake web analytics (i.e. to analyze traffic and other end user activity to improve your experience).
Offer Walls NZiN Games or their purchase pages may display an “offer wall” that may be hosted by a third party offer wall provider. The offer wall allows third party advertisers to provide virtual currency to users

These offers may be displayed to you based on certain technical information, such as your geographic area or anonymous demographic information. After clicking on one of these advertisements, you will no longer be on a site hosted by NZiN.
To properly credit user accounts and to prevent fraud, a unique identifier will be shared with the offer wall provider. This identifier is used to ensure proper crediting of your account, prevent fraud or duplicate offers and
to resolve any customer service inquiries that may arise.
