Well that's a long-overdue QOL upgrade. How about that?

are in there as well.0 -

This is pretty funny though. I wonder how many people were using an Infinite 'Sploit strategy. It seems like kind of a... corner case.9 -

Awesome. I haven't lost a cover due to expiring before I sold it but it's nice to see some quality life changes. I hope more are coming. I rather see a bunch of small changes/fixes than a big change like Supports.

I know several others have said it, but I want to add my voice to the list. Thank you! Over the years I've lost several covers to this and this is a nice subtle QOL improvement that they didn't have to add, but I appreciate them doing so anyway.

It doesn't look like you can get back to the terms once you click "I accept", so here's a copy of what was shown on my tablet, for posterity:When you play Marvel Puzzle Quest D3 Publisher of America Inc. collects data from users in order to improve the Marvel Puzzle Quest game experience for our players, The systems that collect data and what the data is collected for is as follows:
Facebook connection is not required, but connecting the app with Facebook on a device allows the users [sic] save to be backed up in case something goes wrong with a device due to theft, damage or anything else. For this, we collect and store the Facebook ID connected through the Facebook app. There is also a a user controlled message gifting system that is completely user controlled and sent through private messages only.
Google Play Service is a tool that allows us to store your save data, this is done by collecting and storing the Google User ID.
Helpshift stores user name, device ID, and player game ID for customer support reasons so if you write in to fix an issue we have the data to fix the issues reported.
Micpanel is a program we used to review user habits and game analytics using user_ID, username, advertising identifiers, IP address and various other non-personal information. If for example something isn't working or players do not like an event, we record actions in the game to find what players are interested in, avoiding, most interested in purchasing, etc. so that we can make educated decisions on what to work on next to improve, add to, or remove in the game.
Zendesk stores user name, device ID, and player game ID for customer support reasons so if you write in to fix an issue we have the data to fix the issues reported.
Pubnub is a system we use in the game that collects your in game user name and your unique game ID so that we can review conversations only when needed. This is done so we can review if someone is abusing another player verbally in the game so we can take proper action against a user with proof.
MARVEL - in some cases, when players opt-in, we share player in-game usernames with Marvel Entertainment, LLC to facilitate some contests and giveaways. Also, we occasionally post some messages in game related to MARVEL promotions.
Appsflyer - Advertising ID, such as IDFA (Identifier For Advertisers) and Google Advertiser ID, and IP Address are shared with Appsflyer in order to attribute installs of the game to advertisements. Appsflyer also collects various other information, such as OS version, device model, and in-app events (e.g. occurrences of purchases), to help up further optimise our advertising campaigns.
Hockeyapp - This collects information from your device to help us diagnose and correct critical issues, such as game crashes.
GameChangerSF - Device identifiers of some users are shared with GameChangerSF in order to create optimised ad campaigns and, in some cases, to send advertisements about in-game events, characters, or activity.
As a player of Marvel Puzzle Quest, you have the right to receive the data we collect and you can request that we delete this data at any time. If you decide to play the game again, this might mean that you lose your save data and that we collect new data from you as a user if you choose to start the game again after you data was deleted.
All data collected stays in the United States and is reviewed by the team working on the game. All data when transferred is encrypted to prevent unauthorised access to the data being used.

That expiring cover thing is nice. I haven't lost many, but I lost a couple over the years.0
-
Hooray on the update not being 100% about supports, but it’s still pretty underwhelming. Nice change on the cover expiration though.0
-
I'd like to know more about the gamechangersf. Does that mean ads now?0
-
You are already seeing ads: Peggy Carter, Black Panther, Wakanda supports. Those "ads" are classified under "Today's news" in the setting.0
-
I like how you've taken supports you don't have, and made them LOOK awesome! Display only level 250 stats
Wow0 -
I like to see the full stat, but it came a little slow because I got most of the supports now.0

So, I'm guessing this privacy policy was updated for GDPR compliance, and that the EU privacy policy looks a bit different than this one I'm seeing in the US because there's no way this US one is in compliance, you don't even tell us what data you're sending to third parties versus not nor what data you're collecting from my device. You also don't confirm whether you're having our data removed from your third parties (which you would need to do under GDPR, so...).
"Micpanel is a program we used to review user habits and game analytics using user_ID, username, advertising identifiers, IP address and various other non-personal information." That's a lot of personal information, and "other non-personal information" when combined with each other can very well be personal information as long as you can identify me by the aggregation of the information.
I haven't played since the notice popped up because I don't want to accept those terms. What options for opting-out for all of those extra components?
Guess I should have listened to the adage "if a service is free, you're the product."1
