2. How We Collect Your Information
To provide and enhance our Services, deliver relevant ads, and improve your gaming experience, we use various technologies, including cookies, analytics, advertising tools, and security measures such as anti-cheat and anti-fraud systems. Both we and third-party partners collect data through these methods to support the functionality of our Services.
A. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser that help us track your interactions with our Services. We and our third-party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect data on:
· The web pages you visit and features you interact with
· Ads you view and engage with
· The games you play and in-game activities
This data allows us to personalize your experience, manage shopping carts, measure ad effectiveness, prevent showing the same ads repeatedly, and improve overall usability.
We may also use tracking pixels or clear GIFs in our emails and on our platform to monitor interactions with our marketing materials. Additionally, we collect information through internet log files, which include technical details like your IP address. These logs help us analyze platform traffic, troubleshoot technical issues, detect and prevent fraudulent activities, and enforce our Terms of Service.
Our Services also use Analytics, Advertising, Anti-Cheat, and Anti-Fraud technologies, which may rely on cookies or similar mechanisms, as described below.
B. Analytics Technologies
We use both internal and third-party analytics tools to understand how players interact with our Services and to monitor platform performance and stability.

For online games and Services, we may collect, store, transmit, and publicly display gameplay-related data (such as scores, rankings, and achievements). Additionally, we may identify and display content that you create and share with other players.

We are dedicated to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming experience for all players. To support this, we, along with third-party partners, may use cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your device. This data helps us create a "fingerprint" or "hash" of your machine, which is used for fraud prevention, security, and authentication purposes.
Additionally, we may monitor publicly available information and third-party websites and use automated anti-cheat and anti-fraud technologies within our Services. These systems help detect and prevent cheating, abuse, and other disruptive activities to maintain a level playing field.
