* Payment Information: If you make purchases directly through us (not via a third-party platform like a console store or Epic Games Store), we may collect necessary payment details. However, most in-game purchases are processed by third-party platforms, and we do not directly collect or store your financial payment information in such cases.

When you play our games or visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage. This "Usage Data" helps us understand how our games are used and allows us to improve them.

* Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies on our website and in our games to collect information, enhance user experience, analyze trends, and administer our services. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
C. Information from Third-Party Sources:
We may receive information about you from third-party services integrated with our games, such as:
* Epic Online Services (EOS): If our games utilize Epic Online Services for features like user accounts, matchmaking, friends lists, or achievements, we may receive information from Epic Games, such as your Epic Account ID, display name, and information about your in-game activity related to EOS features. We only access data you have authorized through your Epic Games account settings.
* Platform Providers: If you play our games on platforms like Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, or mobile app stores (e.g., Google Play, Apple App Store), these platforms may share certain information with us, such as your platform ID and purchase history (anonymized where possible).
* Analytics Providers: Services like Google Analytics, Unity Analytics, or other similar tools that help us understand user behavior and game performance. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized.

5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at viosamamerchant@gmail.com for Privacy Concerns.
