This policy outlines the types of personal information we collect about you, the reasons and methods behind its collection, how we use it, and the steps we take to keep it secure. It also explains your rights regarding this information and how you can make use of them.

 

The following sections are included in this policy:

2. HOW INFORMATION IS COLLECTED

We collect your information through a variety of channels, depending on how you interact with us. You may share your identity, contact information, or other details with us by completing online forms or communicating via mail, phone, in-game chat, email, or other methods.

This may include account IDs, user IDs, and profile details from platforms like Google, Facebook, VKontakte, Kakao, or Naver, which you use to log in, access social features, or link achievements. We may also gather technical data from ad networks or search engine providers.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your information to deliver, manage, and improve our games and services by performing the following actions:

l Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries

4. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING DATA

We rely on different legal grounds to process your personal data, depending on how it's used. In most cases, this includes:

l Your consent—for example, when you agree to receive marketing messages

l Our legitimate interests—for operating and improving our services in a way that respects your rights

l Fulfilling a contract with you—such as managing your account or providing access to the game

l Compliance with legal or regulatory obligations

 

We generally do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health, religion, or sexual orientation). If we ever need to process such data, we will obtain your explicit consent unless we are legally required to do so.

5. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Protecting children's privacy is important to us. Our games are not intended for users under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. For games that may attract younger audiences, we apply extra age-based access restrictions to help safeguard their use.

6. SHARING OF INFORMATION

We may share your personal data with third parties—such as service providers, partners, affiliates, or advisors—when necessary to provide our services, respond to your requests, or for other purposes described in this policy. This may include business partners, analytics or storage sub-processors (using anonymized data), auditors, legal and insurance advisers, credit agencies, government authorities if required by law, or other companies in the event of a merger or reorganization. Wherever possible, we ensure that third parties uphold equivalent data protection standards.

7. SOCIAL FEATURES AND THIRD-PARTY TOOLS

Our games include social features that allow other players to see your profile, in-game activity, and public messages. They may also include tools from partners, such as social media integrations or, potentially in the future, in-game ads. With your consent, these partners may access certain data and process it under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing those policies to understand how your data is used and to manage your preferences.

8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

As our services are global, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. Since data protection laws differ by region, we apply appropriate safeguards—such as EU-approved standard contractual clauses—to ensure your information remains protected in line with this policy.

9. YOUR RIGHTS

Under EU data protection laws, you have rights regarding your personal data. We respect these rights and are committed to supporting you in exercising them.

 

You may request access to or a copy of the data we hold about you, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, or withdraw consent (where applicable). You can also opt out of marketing communications, restrict or object to processing in certain cases, and request data portability or protection from automated decision-making. Requests must be submitted in writing, and we aim to respond within one month, in line with data protection laws.

 

These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal obligations or the specific nature of our data use. If we cannot fulfill a request, we will inform you and explain why.

 

To help keep your information accurate and up to date, you can manage your personal data through your profile or device settings at any time.

10. MARKETING AND AD PREFERENCES

With your consent, we may use your personal information to send you tailored offers or updates related to a specific game. You can manage or disable these notifications at any time via the in-game settings or your device's notification preferences.

 

To opt out of interest-based ads, adjust your device settings: enable "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of interest-based ads" on Android.

11. DATA RETENTION

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or to meet legal obligations. We regularly review our records to ensure your data is accurate, current, and still needed.

 

By law, we must keep basic customer information (such as contact, identity, and transaction data) for six tax years plus the current year after you stop being a customer. You may request data deletion in certain cases—see "DELETING YOUR DATA" for details.

 

We may also anonymize your data for research or statistical use, in which case it may be retained indefinitely. If you opt out of marketing, we will retain only the data needed to ensure your preference is honored.

12. DELETING YOUR DATA

We respect your privacy and provide several ways to manage and delete your personal data. You can delete your information by:

 

l In-Game Deletion Request: Access the "Delete Account" option in the in-game floating menu under Personal Center to submit a deletion request directly.

l Email Request: Send your deletion request to southeycorey@gmail.com, including your account details to verify your identity.

 

We will process your request and respond within three business days. If more time is needed, we will notify you by email explaining the delay.

13. DATA SECURITY

We implement robust security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, misuse, or loss. These include encryption, access controls, and internal protocols. Please keep your password confidential to help maintain security.

14. EXTERNAL LINKS

Our services may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated or controlled by us. We do not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of these external sites.

 

By clicking on any external links, you acknowledge and agree that your interactions with those sites are at your own risk. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of use of any third-party websites you visit.
