Friends, I believe that many people have not read Rovio’s Privacy Policy, here is a very important clause that makes it clear that when we install the game, we authorize Rovio (thanks to the scripts, flash and pixel tags), to know absolutely everything that our device contains.
If the device has been root, you are already a suspicious person for Rovio, if it has installed cheat programs, Rovio knows it. And no matter how much you reinstall the program again and under another name and user name, Rovio has your MAC address, it is enough to check your installed programs, your photos, email and contacts to know that you are the same person. He’ll let you play for a while, and if he sees you don’t make any major purchases, he’ll ban you again. You can even be banned even if you’ve made good purchases: I’ll ban you and keep your money.
Read the following in the Private Policy: 2 AD Serving Technologie
“Rovio or third parties operating the ad serving technology may use demographic and geo-location information (for more information regarding use of Location Data see below Section 3) as well as information logged from your hardware or device to ensure that relevant advertising is presented within the Service. Rovio or third parties may collect and use data, for such purposes, including but not limited to, data such as IP address, Device ID, MAC address, installed software, application usage data, hardware type, Operating System information, browser information, unique identifiers in browser cookies, Flash cookies, and HTML5 local storage, Internet and on-line usage information and in-game information. ”

“Web Beacons and pixel tags: A “web beacon” or a “pixel tag” is an electronic image (often not visible to the end-user) that allows Rovio to count users who have visited certain pages or viewed certain advertisements. Additionally, e-mails and other electronic communications Rovio sends to you may contain pixel tags that enable Rovio to track your usage of the communication, including whether the communication was opened and/or what links were followed, if any.”
When installing a Rovio game, the person authorizes many more rights than Facebook, Windows or Apple itself are authorized to collect.
By installing a Rovio game, the person authorizes many more rights than Facebook, Windows or Apple itself is authorized to collect. And the worst part of it is that Rovio sells all this information to third parties, so he has no control over it. Read the Privacity Police and you will see that it states that Rovio is not responsible for the misuse of this information by third parties…the height of freshness and unethical behavior.
