Strictly Necessary Cookies: Power essential functions such as user authentication, session management, and security protocols.
Functional Cookies: Preserve your preferred settings, language choices, and saved game states across visits.
Performance & Analytics Cookies: Provide aggregated insights into how players navigate, discover, and engage with our games.
Advertising Cookies: Display relevant promotions and measure the reach and impact of marketing campaigns.

You may manage cookie preferences through your browser controls at any time. Disabling certain categories may impact the availability and quality of some platform features.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We only disclose information under these limited circumstances:

Trusted Service Partners: Vetted vendors who support our operations — including cloud hosting, analytics, customer service platforms, and payment processors — bound by strict data protection agreements.
Legal & Regulatory Compliance: When disclosure is mandated by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental authority.
Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or asset transfer, your data may be part of the transferred assets.
With Your Explicit Consent: Any other sharing scenario only proceeds with your affirmative prior approval.

Every partner we work with is contractually required to uphold data confidentiality standards at least as protective as our own.

6. Data Security

We employ a multi-layered security framework designed to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction:

End-to-end encryption for data transmission (TLS 1.3) and encrypted storage for data at rest.
Periodic penetration testing, code audits, and vulnerability scanning conducted by independent security researchers.
Role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and strict privilege management for internal systems.
Ongoing staff training on data stewardship, incident response, and evolving privacy regulations.

While we strive for the highest security standards, no digital system is impenetrable. We continuously monitor and upgrade our defenses to stay ahead of emerging threats.

7. Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for the duration necessary to accomplish the purposes for which it was collected, or as mandated by applicable law. Once the retention period expires, data is securely purged or irreversibly anonymized.

Active account records and associated profile data are maintained for the life of your account.
Gameplay history and personal settings are retained for up to 24 months following your most recent login.
Anonymized analytical datasets may be preserved indefinitely for statistical and research purposes.
