Security Safeguards
To help ensure a secure and safe player experience, we are continuously developing and implementing administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access or against loss, misuse, or alteration.
Data retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Service. Note that if you ask us to remove your data, we will retain some of your data that is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
International Data Transfers
Our Service is global by nature and your data can therefore be transferred anywhere in the world. Because different countries may have different data protection laws than your own country, we take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data as explained in this Policy. Adequate safeguards that our partners may use include standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission and the Privacy Shield certification in case of transfers to the USA.
AGE LIMITS
We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data about or direct or target interest-based advertising to anyone under the age of 16. If you are under 16, please do not send any data about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under the age of 16 may provide any personal data. If we learn that we have collected personal data about a child under age 16, we will delete that data as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any data from or about a child under the age of 16, please contact us.
We do our best to enable persons under the age of 16 to play our games while disabling all personally identifiable data collection. There may be times when we need to collect data to provide a service such as an In-App Purchase, but by providing credit card details to make such a purchase we consider that a guardian giving consent.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact us. We are here to help! Games are a fun and great way for children to play and learn, we strive to provide a great and safe experience for people of all ages.
