Legal Bases for Processing (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data on the following legal bases under the GDPR:

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): For non-essential cookies, analytics, and personalized advertising. You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): For operating and securing our website, preventing fraud and abuse, and understanding aggregate usage.
  • Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): For providing the services you request from us.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): For complying with applicable laws and responding to lawful requests.

Sharing of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

1. With Your Consent

We may share your information with third parties when you have given us explicit consent to do so.

2. Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

3. Business Transfers

We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

4. Service Providers, Analytics, and Advertising Partners

We work with third-party providers who process data on our behalf or collect data directly through our website, including hosting providers, web analytics services, and advertising networks such as Google. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to measure traffic and to serve advertising, including personalized advertising. We do not sell personal information for money, but some sharing for advertising purposes may be treated as a "sale" or "sharing" under certain U.S. state privacy laws. See the "Advertising and Third-Party Cookies" and "Your Rights and Choices" sections for your opt-out options.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. Cookies are files with small amounts of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers.

The cookies used on our website fall into the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the website to function and cannot be switched off.
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
  • Advertising cookies: Set by us or our advertising partners to deliver and measure advertising, including personalized advertising.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our services.

Advertising and Third-Party Cookies

Our website is supported by advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Opting Out of Personalized Advertising

You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time. Opting out does not remove advertising from the website; it means the ads you see will no longer be tailored to your interests.

You can also block or delete advertising cookies through your browser settings, or use your device's operating system controls to limit ad tracking.

Third-Party Games and External Websites

The games listed on our website are developed and hosted by third parties. When you click "Play Now" or a similar link, you leave our website and are taken to a third-party domain that we do not own or control. Once there, that provider may collect information about you under its own privacy policy, and this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site before using it or providing information to it.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to help protect your personal information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free, so you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. As a general rule, correspondence you send us is kept for up to 24 months after our last exchange, and server log data is kept for up to 12 months. Cookie lifespans are set by us or by the relevant third-party provider and typically range from the duration of your session up to 24 months. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • The right to access your personal information
  • The right to correct inaccurate personal information
  • The right to request deletion of your personal information
  • The right to restrict or object to certain processing, including profiling for advertising purposes
  • The right to data portability, where technically feasible
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal
  • The right to opt-out of certain data processing activities, including personalized advertising
  • The right not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights

EEA, UK, and Swiss Residents

In addition to the rights above, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe our processing of your personal data infringes applicable law.

California and Other U.S. State Residents

If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not sell personal information for money and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. To opt out of advertising-related sharing, use the opt-out links in the "Advertising and Third-Party Cookies" section above, or contact us using the details below. Residents of other U.S. states with comparable privacy laws may exercise equivalent rights through the same channels.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

Where required by applicable law, we honour opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) transmitted by your browser. Because there is no common industry standard for "Do Not Track" browser signals, we do not currently respond to them separately.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, generally within 30 days. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, and you may use an authorised agent where the law permits.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and, for users in the EEA/UK, applicable minimum-age requirements under the GDPR. We do not knowingly serve personalized advertising to users we know to be under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete that information. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take prompt action.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and maintained on servers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. Where we transfer personal data out of the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or an adequacy decision, together with supplementary safeguards where necessary. You may contact us for more information about the safeguards applied to a specific transfer.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
