To opt out of data collection by Scopely, players can follow these steps:
1. In-Game Opt-Out for US Players: For Scopely games like Marvel Strike Force, US players can opt out of sharing personal data within the game settings. To do this, navigate to Settings > Legal (which may be on the left side or at the bottom of the settings menu) > Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Info. There should be a button or slider to opt out. This option is primarily available for US players due to specific privacy laws in other regions like the EU, which often require opt-in consent[1].
2. Device Settings for Interest-Based Advertising: Players can also opt out of interest-based advertising by adjusting their device settings. On iOS, go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking and toggle off Allow Apps to Request to Track. On Android, go to Settings > Google > Ads and toggle on Opt Out of Ads Personalization**[4].
3. Third-Party Advertising Opt-Out: Scopely works with third-party advertising partners like Google and Facebook. To opt out of interest-based advertising from these partners, visit the following links:
- Network Advertising Initiative
- Digital Advertising Alliance[2][4].
4. Website Opt-Out: For website-related data collection, Scopely uses third-party software, which is not connected to your game account. You would need to opt out separately through the website's privacy settings, if available[1].
5. Review Privacy Policy: It's important to regularly review Scopely's Privacy Policy at www.scopely.com/privacy for updates on data collection practices and any changes to opt-out procedures[4].
