5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. In particular, email sent to or from our Service may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Service. We will also retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 16 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at [email protected].

9. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the information to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

10. Third-Party Services

Our Service integrates with Steam and may include links to other third-party websites, services, or applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party services. You should review the privacy policies of such third parties to determine how they collect and use your information.

11. Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers may transmit "do-not-track" signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. We currently do not take action in response to these signals.

12. California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits users of our Service that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to [email protected].
