The servers applicable to your use of our Services will also depend upon your location.
Data transfers:
Please refer to the Additional Information section for more information regarding where the data is stored and may be further transferred for that specific game. Some of these countries benefit from adequacy decisions, which can be found here for transfers from the EEA, and here for transfers from the UK. The SCCs for transfers from the EEA are available here and from the UK are available here (we generally rely on Modules 1 and 2).
Only where necessary, we may disclose your personal information to the following recipients. Please refer to Additional Information section for specific disclosure (if applicable).
We are committed to maintaining the privacy and integrity of your personal information no matter where it is stored. We use a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration and access. In addition, we request vendors who process personal information on our behalf to take reasonable measures designed to help protect your personal information.
However, the transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure. Although we will implement and maintain reasonable measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of the information transmitted as part of our Services or otherwise via the internet; any transmission is at your own risk. You also play an important role in the security of your account, and we encourage you to set a reasonably complex password and change your password periodically.
The retention period for your information varies depending on the categories of personal information we process and how you interact with our Services. We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required by applicable laws.
We will retain your information in line with our retention policies, and the main criteria we consider in determining specific retention periods includes relevant legal requirements and industry standards, the types and nature of information involved and relevance to potential dispute.
Data Categories | Retention Periods |
Registration and account information (e.g., email address, mobile phone number, password for account creation or log-in)
| Stored for the duration of your use of our Services (i.e. until you delete your account/information, request us to delete your information or we decide to shut down the relevant Services)

Information we process when you use social features within our Services (e.g., text, audio, visual and/or other electronic communications)
| |
Information we process when you respond to our surveys and other enquiries (e.g., user ID, age, gender, contact information)
| |
Payment and billing information (e.g., credit card number, expiry date, CVC, email address, billing address) | Stored for the duration of your use of our Services (i.e. until you delete your account/information or request us to delete your information) and then for the duration of any retention periods for which such data must be retained in order to comply with legal obligations.
|
Information we process when you seek customer service (e.g., user ID, email, any evidence you submit for investigation) | If the customer support is processed by us, data will be stored for the duration of your use of the Services (i.e. until you delete your account/information, request us to delete your information or we decide to shut down the relevant Services)
|
For information relating to relevant events or activities (e.g., tournament registration information, your address for us to deliver prizes to you) | Stored for the duration of the event plus a limited duration (e.g., 30 days or 1 year, depending on the Service/event). However, we may retain event-related photos and videos for a longer period for promotion and analytical purposes until we find they no longer serve our purposes.
|
Anti-cheating and security-related information (e.g., video clips of suspected cheating activity and device information) | Stored for a short period of time such as 30 days depending on specific data unless any violation or suspected violation is found, in which case we will store relevant evidence for the lifetime of your use of our Services plus a reasonable period thereafter (in particular, for the purpose of managing a potential future dispute).
|
Kindly note that there will be a gap between the time you request us to delete your information and the day we execute your instructions. For further information, please see section 11 (What are your rights and how to exercise your rights?).
We conduct periodic review of our retention policy to ensure it aligns with our commitment to protecting your privacy and best practices.
You have certain rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you. We respect and uphold your rights and, depending on where you are located, your rights to your personal information vary and may include the following rights:
The right to access personal information we hold about you, how we use it and who we share it with.
The right to receive a copy of certain personal information we process about you. For example, in certain jurisdictions this can comprise personal information we process on the basis of your consent (e.g. survey information) or pursuant to our contract with you (e.g. account name), as described above in section 5 (How do we use your information?). We will provide further information to you about transferring this data if you make such a request.
The right to correct personal information we hold that is inaccurate.
The right to delete your account or remove certain personal information. We may need to retain personal information if there are valid grounds under data protection laws.
The right to require that we stop processing the personal information we hold about you (other than for storage purposes in certain circumstances). Please note, however, that if we stop processing the personal information, we may use it again if there are valid grounds under data protection laws for us to do so (for example, for the defence of legal claims or for another’s protection).
The right to object to our processing of your personal information. If you wish to do so, please contact us (see section 2 (Data controller and how to contact us)) and we will review your request.
To the extent provided by applicable laws and regulations, you can withdraw consent you previously provided to us for certain processing activities by contacting us. Where consent is required to process your personal information, if you do not consent to the processing or if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to deliver the expected service. Please note that the right to withdraw consent is only available if the legal basis for processing information is consent.
We will only send marketing messages to you if we have your consent. You may can choose to stop receiving marketing messages from us by using the unsubscribe option in our messages or reach out to us via Contact Us section in the Privacy Portal.
We may from time to time send you announcements when we consider it necessary to do so (for example, when we temporarily suspend access to any game for maintenance or security reasons). There are essential system and service-related announcements (which are not promotional in nature) that you cannot opt out of as we believe they are important to your interests.
The right to make a complaint to the data protection regulator in your country. However, we always hope that we can resolve any questions or concerns directly – and you can always contact us through the details included in the Contact Us section.
Not all of the rights described above are absolute, and they do not apply in all circumstances. In some cases, we may limit or deny your request because a right is not granted by the laws that apply. Individuals in certain jurisdictions may have other rights. You can exercise some of these rights directly by accessing and updating the information in your account. To help you better understand your rights, see the applicable Additional Information section.
If you wish to exercise any of your rights, or you believe we hold any other personal information about you, please contact us through the details included in the Contact Us section.
If we make any changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the updated Privacy Policy here and notify you in accordance with applicable legal requirements. We encourage you to check this page frequently to stay tuned and informed.
Except as otherwise prescribed by law, in the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the English version and local language version of this Privacy Policy, the English version shall prevail.
