You may purchase and/or license the Games via a Platform, and that Platform may have its own policies for collection of personal information in connection with the Games. We will use the information we receive from a Platform only for the purposes that are described in this privacy policy or that are otherwise made clear to you in the Games.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure.

You should only access the services within a secure environment.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age (or other age limiting collection of a minor’s personal information under applicable law). By using the Games, you represent that you are of legal age to provide consent under applicable law, or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Games. If we learn that personal information from users less than 13 years of age (or other age limiting collection of a minor’s personal information under applicable law) has been collected, we will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.

10. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding your personal information. The California Shine the Light law, Privacy Rights for California Minors in a Digital World law and CCPA provide California residents with certain rights regarding the processing of their personal data.

Shine the Light. California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine The Light” law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to us using the contact information provided in SECTION 12 below.
Privacy Rights for California Minors in a Digital World. California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 (“California Privacy Rights for Minor Users”) permits you, if you are a California resident under the age of 18, to view, correct or remove information provided by you or publicly posted by you. For inquiries regarding our disclosure policy, please contact us as described in SECTION 12 below. Requests must include “California Privacy Rights Request” in the first line of the description and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Any enquiries from underage users will be deleted upon completion.
CCPA. If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). For purposes of this section for California residents, unless a different definition is noted, "Personal Information" has the definition given in the CCPA.

We will need to verify your identity to process your information, access, and deletion requests and reserve the right to confirm your California residency. To verify your identity, we may require you to log into your account (if applicable), provide government identification, give a declaration as to your identity under penalty of perjury, and/or provide additional information.
  - Your authorized agent may make a request on your behalf upon our verification of the agent's identity and our receipt of a copy of the valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to California Probate Code Sections 4000-4465.

- You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination as prohibited by the CCPA.
