3) DATA DISCLOSURE AND/OR SALE
We do not “sell” your personal data with third parties as most people would understand that term. However, we may share your email address, data about you collected via cookies, and advertising identifiers with our third-party partners in order to deliver interest-based and targeted advertisements, attribute installations and to optimize advertising campaign performance.
In addition, if there is a DevCol game that you played in the past but no longer play, we may promote that game to you on third-party websites and applications and via email, in which case, we may share your advertising identifier or email address with a third-party partner to do so.
To the extent that this practice is considered a “sale” under applicable law, you may opt out by following the steps described in “Opt-out of targeted advertising” in the global privacy policy.
We do not engage in “sharing” or “targeted advertising,” as those terms are defined in State Privacy Laws, using personal data about consumers we know to be under the age of 16.
