4. Who Do We Share Your Personal Data With?
We may disclose personal data to the following types of third parties:
5. International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries outside the UK, including Türkiye and the United States.
When transferring personal data outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:
Data transfer agreements are accessible upon request by contacting us at the details shown below.
6. How Long Do We Process Personal Data?
The length of time for which we retain personal data depends on the purposes for which we collect and use it and how long we need to retain it to comply with applicable laws (including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements), to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights, or to make the data available to judges and courts or the competent public authorities.
If we retain the personal data solely to satisfy legal requirements, we will keep your personal data blocked — meaning we will implement measures to prevent the data's processing, except for making it available to public administrations, judges, and courts if necessary. Once personal data is no longer necessary for any of these purposes, we delete it.
7. Your Rights Under UK GDPR
As a UK resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal data, subject to the conditions under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018:
8. How to Exercise Your Rights
To submit a request to exercise your privacy rights, you can contact us by any method described in the Contact Us section below. In your request, please describe what rights you are exercising and how you would like us to assist.
We may need to request specific information from you to help us verify your identity. These are security measures to ensure that we do not disclose personal data to any person who has no right to receive it, or otherwise process the data in unauthorized ways. We may also contact you to ask for further information about your request to clarify the scope of your request and speed up our response.
We will respond to your request within one (1) month. This period may be extended by a further two (2) months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. We will inform you of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request.
9. Targeted Advertising
We rely on AdTech Providers to serve targeted online ads at users of other companies' websites, games and online services. From time to time, we also offer ad-supported versions of our Services.
In the UK, we request your consent to engage in targeted advertising activities when you first launch our games. If you consent, you may subsequently withdraw your consent at any time by going to Settings > Terms & Privacy.
If you opt out of targeted advertising, you may still see ads, but that advertising will not be targeted using your personal data, and we will stop sharing your personal data with AdTech Providers for targeted advertising purposes.
You can also choose to prevent your device's ad identifier from being used for interest-based advertising, or reset your device's ad identifier by changing your device settings. Settings vary from device to device, but you will usually find the ad identifier settings under "privacy" or "ads" in your device's settings.

10. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not marketed to or intended for children. For these purposes, we use the term "children" to refer to someone who is: (a) under 12 years old or, if older, (b) between 12 and 18 years old but under the age at which they can give valid consent to processing of their personal data under applicable data privacy laws.
Children are not permitted to use our Services, and we do not knowingly collect any personal data from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently obtained personal data about a child, we will take measures to promptly remove that personal data from our systems. If a child under the age of 12 provides us with personal data, the child's parent or guardian may contact us immediately to request removal.
For children aged 12 to 17, parental or guardian consent and supervision is required to use our Services in accordance with our Terms of Service.
Parents can manage chat, in-app payments, and other select features through the parental control settings in the "Settings" menu. Once activated, these controls can only be modified with a pre-set password.
11. Security
We maintain physical, technical, electronic and procedural measures intended to protect personal data from unauthorized processing, including firewalls, data encryption technologies, internal data security protocols and data protection agreements with organizations that receive your personal data from us. However, no server, computer or communications network or system, or data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
