- Subsidiaries, Affiliates & Service Providers. We may use the services of subsidiaries, affiliates and third-party service providers (collectively, “Third Parties”) in connection with our provision of the Application, platform features, analytics, technical support, cloud storage, crash reporting, or off-premise data hosting. We may disclose your Data to the Third Parties in the course of our use of their services. We take care to use Third Parties that we believe are reputable and capable of performing the services we require of them, including, without limitation, the handling of confidential information and Data and the compliance with all applicable laws.
- Platforms. Our Games may be distributed through third-party platforms, such as Apple, Steam, Nintendo, Google or other digital stores and services. Your use of those platforms may be subject to their own privacy policies, terms and account settings. We do not control how those platforms collect, use or process your personal information.
- Laws and Jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we may preserve or disclose your Data if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect our or any other person’s or entity’s rights or property. However, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party’s, including a government’s, request to disclose your Data.
- Sale of Business. We may disclose Data to the acquiror or its agents in the course of the sale of our business. If we do this, the disclosure will be subject to confidentiality arrangements customary in such transactions.

When that occurs, we continue to protect the Data with appropriate safeguards and data export requirements, but it may be subject to the legal jurisdiction of those countries and governmental authorities in those countries.
4. Data Retention
Any Data stored locally on your device may be deleted by uninstalling the Application, deleting local save data, or using the relevant settings available on your device or platform. Any Data stored through platform services, such as cloud saves, achievements, account services or similar features, may be managed through the settings of the relevant platform, where available. We retain Data only for as long as necessary to provide the Application, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests.
5. Your Information and Data Rights
In accordance with the applicable privacy laws, you shall have the following rights with respect to your Data:
