  • if the government or the police need to investigate something
  • to protect you and other users, as well as our business property

Our helpers (service providers)

Sometimes we have helpers who make sure our games and mobile apps are great. We make sure that our helpers keep your information safe.

If the law says we must share your information

If you or the person who looks after you want more information about how we send your information around the world, you can contact us by using the information at the end of this Privacy Notice.

WE WANT TO KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE

We protect your information to stop other people getting to it. We also make sure to not keep your information for too long.
