Broad retention of de-identified data after account deletion
After account deletion, the company will retain de-identified Analytics Data for analytics purposes. While the data cannot identify individuals by name or email, it will still contain analytics information.
Why it matters: Even after deleting an account, analytics data derived from past activity may still be retained and used by the company, albeit in a de-identified form.
Once you delete your Account, we de-identify the data associated with your Account and only retain de-identified Analytics Data (as defined above) for analytics purposes. We cannot identify persons with this information because it does not contain names, email addresses, or other identifiers.

Retention of data after account deletion for legal and enforcement purposes
The company may retain data in a deleted account to comply with applicable laws or to establish, exercise, or defend its legal rights, such as enforcing its Terms of Service. This data will be used only for these purposes and for as long as necessary.
Why it matters: Even after account deletion, personal data may be retained for an unspecified duration if required by law or for legal defense, limiting the completeness of a user's data deletion request.
However, if we need to retain data in your Account to comply with applicable laws (such as requirements to retain records of data subject requests and how we responded to them under applicable privacy laws), or to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (such as to continue to enforce our Terms of Service), we will retain the data in your Account that is necessary to fulfil such purposes, for as long as is necessary to fulfil such purposes, and use it only to fulfil such purposes, even if you ask us to delete your Account.

AdTech Providers may combine personal data with other collected data
AdTech Providers processing your personal data for their own purposes may combine the data disclosed by the company with data they have collected about the same individuals from other websites and online services.
Why it matters: Your personal data may be combined with other data collected by AdTech providers from various online sources, potentially creating a more comprehensive profile of your online activities beyond the company's services.
AdTech Providers that process your personal data for their own purposes may combine the personal data that we disclose to them with data they may have collected about the same individuals elsewhere, such as when those individuals use other websites and online services that rely on the same AdTech Providers.
Users may have the right to ask the company to correct or complete their personal data if it is wrong or incomplete, and also to delete their personal data under certain conditions.
Why it helps: Users can ensure the accuracy of their data and request its removal under applicable circumstances, enhancing data control.
**Correction or deletion of personal data:**You may have the right to ask us to correct or complete your personal data if it is wrong or incomplete. You may also have the right to ask us to delete your personal data when certain conditions apply.
Users may have the right to receive their personal data in a structured and commonly used format so they can use this data with another company when certain conditions apply.
Why it helps: This enables users to easily transfer their data to other services, fostering interoperability and user control over their digital information.
**Portability of personal data:**You may have the right to receive your personal data in a structured and commonly used format so you can use this data with another company when certain conditions apply.
Option to opt out of targeted advertising and sale of personal data
Users can opt out of targeted advertising within the games by going to Settings > Terms & Privacy. In some jurisdictions, this also provides the right to opt out of the 'selling' of personal data to AdTech Providers.
Why it helps: Users have control over whether their data is used for personalized advertisements and can prevent the 'sale' of their data, enhancing privacy.
**Targeted advertising:** If you play our games, we may use your personal data for targeted advertising purposes as described in Section 5 above. You may opt out in-game by going to Settings > Terms & Privacy. * **Selling:** Some of the laws that apply to our processing of personal data qualify some of our disclosures of personal data to AdTech Providers as “selling” personal data.
