8 – Children

Children’s privacy and online protection is paramount to Gameloft, and we take responsibility for caring for it seriously. 

When accessing the Game on PC and/or Console platforms (except via the Website, as detailed hereafter), and depending on the applicable regulations, parents and/or guardians of underage users can set age or age categories and define privacy settings when creating and managing their children’s accounts. The Game will only be available and accessible to underage users based on parental consents, authorizations and settings carried out via the abovementioned platforms. 

When accessing the Game via the Website, parents and/or guardians of underage users are prompted to create an account in order for Gameloft to provide them with comprehensive information about the Game’s features and data collection principles. Such information is provided to parents and/or guardians of underage users via an email verification process, which will enable them to express their parental consent prior to purchasing and installing the Game for their child (or the underage user placed under their responsibility). At any time, parents and/or guardians will be able to manage their account and delete it from their Gameloft profile (accessible on the Website). In addition, please note that, where users are underage, subscription to newsletters and promotional offers will be unavailable. 

In addition to these measures, we encourage parents and guardians to teach their children about privacy and how their information may be used online. Children should never disclose their name, address or phone number, or any personal information, without their parents’ or guardian's prior permission.

Furthermore, parents or legal guardians must exercise their children's privacy rights. In order to do so, please refer to the "Your rights" section of this Privacy Policy.

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.

  • 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 or ask for the deletion of your information.

If you withdraw your consent or ask for the deletion of your information, we will not use or process your information anymore but we will store it to answer regulatory or police requests. We also reserve the right to retain an archive of such information for a commercially reasonable time to ensure that its deletion does not affect the integrity of our data; and we further reserve the right to retain an anonymous version of such information.

Please specify your request through this form

If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child (as determined by applicable regulations) and believe your child has provided us with information, please fill out this form and we will delete the information from our system.

Please note that, in order to preserve the confidentiality of your information, we must be able to correctly identify you when you exercise your privacy rights through the above-mentioned processes. For this reason, we may ask you to provide us with a copy of an official document to prove your identity. This copy will be safely destroyed within two (2) months of your request being received and closed.

Our team will look into your request and answer you within one (1) month, unless your request requires further investigation. You’ll be specifically informed if that is the case. 

10 – Additional information for Californian users

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) permits California residents to request from a business, with whom the California resident has an established business relationship, certain information about the types of personal information the business has collected, shared with, and/or sold to third parties for a business or commercial purpose during the immediately preceding calendar year. Please note that we do not sell your personal information to provide the game or game services described in this Privacy Policy. Our partners and providers who work with us may have access to your personal information in order to provide you with the Game Services within the limits and throughout the duration of our agreement, but they can’t reuse your personal information for any other purposes. 

To exercise your rights, please access this form or refer to the “How to contact us” section of this Privacy Policy.

Please note that all the options available under this form are applicable, except for the opt-out right (related to the sale of personal information). 

If you submit a request on behalf of another person, you need to be 18 years old or over, and we may require a proof of authorization and verification of identity directly from this person.

In some instances, we may not be able to honor your request. For example, we will not honor your request if we cannot verify your identity or if we cannot verify that you have the authority to make a request on behalf of another person. Additionally, we will not honor your request when an exception applies, such as when the disclosure of Personal Information would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of another consumer or when the Personal Information that we maintain about you is not subject to the CCPA’s access or deletion rights.

The exercise of any of the rights mentioned above will not have any discriminatory consequences for you. 

11 – Third-party services
