3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share personal information you provide directly to us, such as your name, email address, photo, or any other data you manually provide, with third-party advertisers for their own advertising, marketing, or other independent purposes.

Advertising and Analytics Partners

We may work with analytics providers to gather analytical data, assess the usage of our Game, and enhance it to make the experience more enjoyable for you as a player.

We also use advertising services to deliver optional in-game video advertisements that offer rewards, such as skipping wait times or earning in-game items. To make these ads function, the advertising services automatically share only the minimum information necessary, such as device details (for example, device type and operating system), advertising identifiers, and data related to ad interactions (such as whether an ad was viewed or completed). This information is essential to serve ads and manage rewards and is collected directly by the advertising services, not transmitted by us. You will be presented with the advertiser’s privacy policy the first time you opt to view an ad, ensuring transparency regarding their data practices.

Customer Service Platforms

We use customer service platforms to manage support and contact requests received through email or other methods, such as contact forms.

Law Enforcement or Government Authorities

To combat fraud, illegal activities, potential threats to the physical safety of individuals, or as required by law, we may process and disclose data to law enforcement agencies or government bodies in response to lawful requests.

Other Players

If you play or register through a social networking service, other players may be able to view your profile information (such as your name and photo), see descriptions of your game activity, and read messages you post. If you join the game following an invitation from another player, that player may have access to certain information about your game activity.

Payment Services

We may share payment-related data with payment service providers that process transactions or offer other financial services, including fraud prevention.

We do not and will not collect or process any information related to your payment instruments, such as your credit card number, its expiration date, or your name as written on your card.

Any purchases you make will be governed by the payment service provider’s terms of service and privacy policy.

We may share your personal data with our service providers whose technical solutions may form an integral part of the Services.

We use Standard Contractual Clauses when sharing your personal data to ensure it is adequately protected.

Authorized agents must demonstrate that you have given them permission to act on your behalf or provide proof that they hold a valid power of attorney under applicable probate law. We reserve the right to request confirmation directly from you that the agent has been authorized to make the request or to request additional information to confirm the agent’s identity.

You may access, amend and delete information provided by you when using our Services, or contact us at [email protected].

We also reserve the right to anonymize your data (removing any direct or indirect references to your identity) and continue using it for our legitimate interests, such as for research and statistical purposes.

Your personal data will be destroyed without delay once it is no longer needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Your data is stored in electronic format, and we destroy it through technical methods that render the personal data permanently unrecoverable.

We also take reasonable steps to ensure that third parties with whom we share or transfer any data provide adequate protection for your information.

Please note that despite all the precautions we take, no security system can guarantee complete protection against all possible security breaches. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data. We urge you to take measures to protect your personal information, including keeping your account details secure, and to exercise caution when submitting or transmitting any information through the Service, including via any chat features.

To ensure the adequate protection of your personal data when transferred from the UK, EU, EEA, or Switzerland to countries outside these regions, we rely on legally recognized mechanisms for international data transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved safeguards under applicable data protection laws.
