Where Facebook integration is available in your version of the Game, the following terms apply to that optional feature.
How It Works

Purpose of Facebook Data Processing: The data obtained is used solely to:

Should you choose not to link your Facebook account, core features of the Game remain available, though certain social functionalities will not be enabled. You may revoke your consent at any time via your account settings or the Facebook interface. Once revoked, we will cease processing data obtained from Facebook for these purposes.
Compliance: All processing of Facebook data is conducted in accordance with this Privacy Policy and Facebook's own policies.

Affiliates & Business Transfers:
Data may be shared within our corporate group or transferred in connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, subject to confidentiality agreements.
Legal & Regulatory Requirements:
We may disclose data to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.

When data is transferred outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place.
If you reside in other regions (e.g., Brazil, Korea), we will also use appropriate or equivalent safeguards to ensure lawful data transfers, in line with LGPD or PIPA requirements.
7. DATA RETENTION
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by law. For example:
