3. Information That We Collect Automatically And How We Use It

When you visit, use, or otherwise access our Services, we may obtain certain information by automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, web server logs and other technologies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. The information we collect in this manner may include your device IP address, unique device identifier, web browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, clickstream data, and dates and times of website visits.

We may use these automated technologies on our Services to collect information about your equipment, browsing actions, and usage patterns. These technologies help us (1) remember your information so you do not have to re-enter it; (2) track and understand how you use and interact with our Services; (3) tailor the Services around your preferences; (4) measure the usability of our Services and the effectiveness of our communications; and (5) otherwise manage and enhance our Services, and help ensure they are working properly.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent for the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies. Your browser also may tell you how to be notified about certain types of automated collection technologies and how to restrict or disable them. Please note, however, that without these technologies, you may not be able to use all of the features of our Services. For mobile devices, you can manage how your device and browser share certain device data by adjusting the privacy and security settings on your mobile device.

 

4. Information We Disclose

We may disclose personal data we obtain about you to our affiliates and subsidiaries. We may also disclose personal data to service providers that perform services on our behalf such as platform services, game developers, game publishers, game console providers, customer support services, social media companies (who may collect information when you use the Services or when you connect the Services to your social media accounts), marketing service providers, analytics providers, cloud storage and IT hosting providers, payment service providers, advertising providers and providers of other services. Most of our business partners and services providers are based in the U.S. Third-party service providers with whom we work include, but are not limited to, those partners listed here. We require service providers by contract to process personal data only on our behalf and to implement measures to protect the security and confidentiality of personal data. We may also disclose personal data to accountants, attorneys, and consultants who need the information in order to provide services in connection with the delivery of our Services, and Company’s management, administration, or legal responsibilities.

In addition, we may disclose personal data about you (1) if we are required or permitted to do so by law or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena); (2) in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities; (3) to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights; (4) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical or other harm or financial loss; (5) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (6) otherwise with your consent or as directed by your representative. We reserve the right to transfer any personal data we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganization, divestiture, dissolution, or liquidation).

We also may disclose the information in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection and obtain your consent to the extent required by applicable law.

 

5. Data Transfers

We may transfer the personal data that we collect about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which the personal data originally was collected. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the personal data. When we transfer your personal data to recipients in other countries (such as the U.S.), we will protect that personal data as described in this Policy.

We will comply with applicable legal requirements aimed to provide adequate protection for the transfer of personal data to data recipients in countries outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom and Switzerland. To the extent that these data recipients are in countries that have not been recognized by the European Commission or relevant body as providing an adequate level of data protection, we ensure that appropriate safeguards aimed at ensuring such a level of data protection are in place, including by entering into the European Commission’s EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the data recipients and, where applicable, executing the UK Transfer Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. To obtain a copy of the safeguards we have put in place, please contact us as indicated below.

 

6. Security of Personal Data

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to safeguard the personal data we obtain against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized access, destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or use. Please note that, despite our efforts, no storage system or transmission of data over the internet can be guaranteed to be impenetrable. Information collected by third parties may not have the same security protections as information you submit to us, and we are not responsible for protecting the security of such information.

 

7. Retention of Personal Data

To the extent required by applicable law, we keep personal data for a length of time that is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.

If you would like to close your account and delete your profile information in connection with our Services, please contact us via our Support Center. Additionally, we will delete any personal data collected through beta tests of our games offered as part of our Services.
