Plain-English summary
This privacy policy has several user concerns. There is no expectation of privacy when sharing personal information in public forums, and your name might appear publicly on leaderboards if it's part of your user name or ID. Your data may be transferred to countries with different privacy laws (risk_flags-3) and data security is not guaranteed. The company may sell or share your information as an asset if there are business changes (risk_flags-5). Additionally, the company sells and shares data for personalized advertising (data_use-1) and may sell or share personal information of users under 18 with permission. The system may not respond to Do Not Track requests (gotchas-1), and some personal information may be retained even after account deletion (gotchas-2). Continued use of services after policy changes implies acceptance (gotchas-3).
