5 – How we share your information
With Gameloft entities
In order to operate the Services, your personal information may be transferred to other Gameloft studios or entities, subsidiaries, processors or third parties located worldwide as described below (please refer to "International operations and transfers of your information").
With third parties
We use third-party services that have limited access to your information for specific purposes, such as:

With authorities
We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies activities that we, in good faith, believe to be illegal. We will investigate or take action to counter illegal activity, suspected abuse or unauthorized use of the Services, or to protect the property or safety of others. We may also disclose your information if required by any law or court order worldwide, if the information relates to actual or threatened harmful conduct.
In that case, we will consider applicable local laws, the nature of the order, as well as the legitimacy and proportionality of your information.
In case of sale of our company
In connection with any sale of our company or any line of business (including the assets relating thereto), customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets. In the event of any such sale or disposition of any or all of our business, your information may be transferred to the acquirer.
6 – International operations and transfers of your information
As part of our international operations, we may transfer personal information to our affiliates (which means subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures, and other corporate entities under common ownership of Gameloft SE) from time to time for our legitimate business purposes.
Gameloft is headquartered in France, and we have operations, entities and Services provided in Canada, the United States and throughout the world. We have taken measures to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and lawfully, and that it will receive an adequate level of protection in the jurisdictions in which we process it.
7 – Security and confidentiality of your personal information
We have implemented security measures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the personal information collected through the Services.
We take, and force applicable third parties to take, reasonable precautions to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, please remember that no transmission of data over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information and do not assume any responsibility for the unauthorized use of, or access to, your information that is under our control.
When we use third parties to assist us in processing your personal information or credit card information, we take reasonable steps to ensure that they comply with this Privacy Policy and otherwise protect your personal information (including any credit card information).
If there is a breach of security involving your personal information, including credit card information, from our Services, we will inform you immediately according to your local regulations relating to the notification of information Breaches, and take commercially reasonable steps to rectify such breach.
If you believe your personal information is being improperly used by us or any third party, please immediately notify us via email at DataProtectionSupport@gameloft.com.
8 – Children
We encourage parents and guardians to teach their children about privacy and how their information may be used on the Internet. Children should never disclose their name, address or phone number, or any personal information, without their parents’ or guardian’s prior permission.
We consider a user to be a child if they are under the age of 13, unless more stringent regulation applies in their state of residence.
If we consider that any of our Services are directed at users under the minimum legal age required in their country of residence, we can block such users from using the Services or from providing information and/or limit the collection of information from such users as described below in more detail.
No personal information should be submitted to Gameloft by users under the minimum legal age required in their state of residence. We apply the following limitations to personal information collection for a user that is not of the minimum legal age required in their state of residence.
Such a user cannot:
- display their real name or any information in the games
- access the chat, leaderboard, forums, SNS (Discord, Game Center, etc.) when they are made available
- subscribe to newsletters
- use any other feature where users could appear under their real names
Children can be invited to take part in testing our games (playtests) with their parents' or guardians’ authorization and/or their parents' or guardians’ physical presence being required depending on the state where the playtest is conducted.
Parents must exercise their privacy rights for their children. Please refer to the "Your rights regarding personal data" section of this Privacy Policy.
If you want to find out more about the privacy and security practices Gameloft implements to protect children, please read the Privacy Policy for Parents.

- Right to Oppose Profiling and Automated Decision-Making – Gameloft does not carry out any profiling based on automated decision-making that would have a legal effect on the user. Therefore, it is not possible to exercise this right.
Account deletion button
We provide an in-app account deletion option in compliance with the requirements set by the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Users can request the permanent deletion of their account directly within the app through the account settings.
When you delete your account:
- All personal data associated with your account, including profile information, saved preferences, and linked services, will be permanently removed unless retention is required by law.
- Any in-game progress, virtual currency, or purchased content, if any, may be lost and cannot be recovered.
Please note that game functionality, Services and features can be affected by your actions. Some of your information and its processing is mandatory for Gameloft to provide the Services.
Your actions may force Gameloft to cease providing the Services. When the conditions below apply, your game will be reset:
- If you ask for the modification of this mandatory information, we may not be able to continue to link the game or game Services to you.
- If you request limitations to processing that are mandatory for Gameloft, or you object to such processing (in which case, we may not be able to provide you with the game or game Services).
- If you withdraw your consent, we will not use or process your information anymore.
- If you ask for deletion of your information, the data associated with your account will be deleted. This is an irreversible process that cannot be interrupted once launched. All your in-game progress, any purchases you may have made, achievements, leaderboard positions and in-game friends in these games will be lost. Please note that we are not required to comply with your request to erase personal information if the processing of your personal information is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
- Note that for the consent withdrawal and deletion processes, we may store your information to answer regulatory or police requests if deemed necessary. Certain personal data may be retained despite a right to be forgotten request where legal, regulatory, or overriding legitimate grounds require preservation.
Our team will investigate your request and answer you within 30 days, unless your request requires further investigation. You’ll be specifically informed if that is the case.
If you believe that your rights have not been upheld after contacting us, or if you believe that your rights have been violated, you have the right to file a complaint with the data protection authority in your country or to notify them of the violation:
11 – Additional information for U.S. users
U.S. privacy regulations provide the users with the rights described above and with specific other rights. If you are a U.S. user, please access this form or refer to the “How to contact us” section of this Privacy Policy to exercise your rights.
Note that the Game does not perform targeted advertising (neither contextual nor basic advertising) and does not share personal information with third parties for commercial purposes. Therefore, the obligation to provide a “Do Not Sell/Share My Personal Information” link, as defined by the CCPA in California, does not apply.

By accessing any external sites, you agree to the privacy policies of those sites.

We have no control over, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of such third parties.
Therefore, you are encouraged to review the privacy policies of all third-party services. Without limiting anything in the following section, we are not liable in any way for the actions, inactions or policies of any external services.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. In the event that we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, they will be re-posted in the "Privacy" section of our websites and apps with the date the modifications were made indicated at the top of the page. Therefore, please review this Privacy Policy from time to time so that you are aware when any changes are made to it. Your continued use of the Services after such change(s) constitutes your acceptance of any such change(s), and if you do not accept any changes, you may choose not to use the Services or opt out by sending us appropriate notice.
