Our applications are intended for a general audience of users aged 13 and older who are interested in our games. While the content may be appealing to younger users, the Service is not designed or intended for them to use without parental supervision.

International Data Transfers

Our applications operate globally, and we rely on third-party service providers (such as Google and RevenueCat) that may process and store your information on servers located outside of your country of residence, including in the United States.

We are committed to ensuring that your data is protected no matter where it is processed. When we and our service providers transfer data from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to other countries, we rely on legally-provided mechanisms to lawfully transfer data across borders.

These mechanisms include:

  1. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): We enter into Data Processing Addendums (DPAs) with our service providers that incorporate the latest Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission. The SCCs impose strong data protection obligations on the parties and ensure that your data is protected to the standards required by GDPR.
  2. EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF): For data transfers to the United States, we rely on service providers who are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. This framework has been deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to certified U.S. companies.

By using our services, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws than your own. However, we take all necessary steps to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your data remains protected to the standards described in this Privacy Policy.
