If you are a resident or access our Services from within the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we apply the privacy protection to your information required by the General Data Protection Regulation.

About

This Privacy Policy concerns the information that (i) you may provide us with (for example when you sign up with our Service) and that we may (ii) collect from you automatically when you use our Service, (iii) receive from other, third party sources, or (iv) collect from you because you made this information publicly available (for example public archives).  

We protect and grant you your rights regarding information that can identify you as an individual (for example your name, age, gender, online user name, or your political opinion or religious belief) as well as information that can only personally identify you together with other information that we collect from you (for example your IP address, your activity with our Services, hardware device ID, or your browser type) (“Personal Information”). 

Some of your information may be collected, stored, used, disclosed, or shared, anonymized by isolating the information from any personal identifiers and thereby cannot be used by us, or third parties that we share such information with, to identify you. 

We may store some of your information via local storage (for example cookies) temporarily or permanently on your internet enabled device, which allows us to retrieve information on your device about your use of the Services (e.g. which language you prefer or your login name).

These may be cookies, local storage, or trackers, (“Cookies”) and we use these in order for some of our Services to work properly. By default, we use several persistent cookies (permanent or stored cookies) as well as session cookies (transient cookies erased each session). Cookies are used for purposes of authentication, security, preferences, (e.g., regarding default language and settings), connection stability (e.g., for uploading media, using e-Commerce features, etc.), monitoring performance of our services and marketing campaigns (e.g. page visits, currently active visitors, sessions by countries, from which website you accessed our Services), and generally providing and improving our Services. 

Cookies can be separated into essential (or functional and required) Cookies and optional (or analytic and performance) Cookies. At any time, you may prevent our use of any of these by changing the settings in your browser. However, disabling essential Cookies will prevent certain features of our Game from functioning as you expect.
