From time to time, we may ask for your consent to use your information for specific reasons. Where consent was provided and is required, you may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at the address provided in this Policy.
We share certain personal information with third parties to provide our Website to you, including service providers that process personal information on behalf of us to provide our Website to you, like customer support and to manage our community. Some examples of these third parties are provided below. But we do not share your information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.

2) Marketing platforms and providers of analytics services relating to player behavior, in order to tailor the Website and to conduct marketing activities; and,
3) Customer service providers to answer users’ inquiries
We may share your information where such disclosure is essential to comply with a legal obligation or a lawful data access request, pursuant to a merger or acquisition, with our affiliates (LIST of our affiliates) for the purposes described in this Policy, or where you have otherwise provided your consent or at your direction.
5. Cookies and Related Technologies
Our website is committed to your privacy and does not employ cookies for analytics and advertisement, such as Google® Analytics. This means we do not track your movements within our site or analyze your site usage data. Our approach ensures that your experience on our website is not customized using such technologies, and all features are fully accessible without the need for cookies.
6. International Data Transfers
We operate globally and, to provide Website, may transfer your data to countries and other regions outside of the country where you are located. If your personal information is transferred, stored or processed by us, we take reasonable steps to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, including entering into confidentiality and standard contractual clauses with vendors where appropriate.

In principle, we will remove your personal information without delay after the purpose of collecting personal information is achieved.

9. Links and Third-Party Services
If you click on a link to a third-party website, including, without limitation, an advertisement, you will leave our website and go to the website you selected.

They will only process your personal information on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality where appropriate. Please note, however, that no data transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and that complete security of any information we collect and use therefore cannot be guaranteed.
