How can I restrict the information collected from me?
You can choose to restrict the information we collect from you on a per-app basis. Navigate to the app's Settings menu (usually indicated by a gear icon or the word "Settings") and select the Play Anonymously option. Choosing this option will restrict the information we collect from you to the best of our ability. Note that if the app in question does not collect identifiable information or allow for the creation of User Accounts, this option will not be available.
How can I delete any information that has already been collected?
If you wish to permanently delete any information that may have already been collected from your engagement with the Services, you should request so via email at [email protected]. We will only delete user information once we have verified the request is from the user itself. Once deleted, you may permanently lose all access to any virtual goods or currency you may have previously accrued using the Services. Note that this process is only applicable if the app in question collects identifiable information or allows for the creation of User Accounts.
Is my information secure?
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee that personally identifiable information in our possession will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time.
We otherwise store all of our information, including your IP address information, using industry-standard techniques. We do not guarantee or warrant that such techniques will prevent unauthorized access to information about you that we store, Personal Information or otherwise.
