Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?

Wallet addresses are generally pseudonymous, but if linked to other personal information (e.g., your account details), they may be treated as personal information under this Privacy Policy. We process this information to facilitate transactions and comply with applicable laws, and we do not share it with third parties except as necessary to complete the transaction or as required by law. Note that blockchain transactions are publicly visible and permanent due to the nature of blockchain technology; once recorded, they cannot be deleted or altered.

Examples include: payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and marketing efforts. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct.
The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are as follows:
- Cloud Computing Services (e.g., for app hosting and data storage).
- Analytics Services (e.g., to track app usage and trends).
- Payment Processors (e.g., for in-app purchases via app stores).

4. WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?
The Services may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications and/or contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, services, or applications. Accordingly, we do not make any guarantee regarding any such third parties, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of such third-party websites, services, or applications. The inclusion of a link towards a third-party website, service, or application does not imply an endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third parties. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this privacy notice. We are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of any third parties, including other websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Services. You should review the policies of such third parties and contact them directly to respond to your questions.
5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Notice.
For App users, we may use similar technologies like software development kits (SDKs) or mobile advertising IDs to track app interactions.
6. HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR SOCIAL LOGINS?
Our Services offer you the ability to register and log in using your third-party social media account details. Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider. The profile information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, email address, friends list, and profile picture, as well as other information you choose to make public on such a social media platform.

We recommend that you review their privacy notice to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and apps.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
For chat and UGC features, we employ moderation tools (automated and human) to detect and remove harmful content, but we cannot guarantee complete prevention of unauthorized access.
8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 13 years of age, and we require parental consent for minors under 18 where applicable.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to individuals under 13 years of age. For general use of the Services, users must be at least 13 years old; for skills-based wagering features, users must be at least 21 years old. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these age requirements or that you are the parent or guardian of a minor and consent to such minor's use of the Services.
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that personal information from users under 13 has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under 13, please contact us at support@farworld.gg.
For users aged 13-17:
- We encourage parental involvement and oversight.
- Features like chat and UGC include safety measures such as content filtering (e.g., profanity filters), reporting tools, and moderation to prevent harmful interactions.
- Parents or guardians can request access to, correction of, or deletion of their child's data by contacting us at support@farworld.gg. We may require verification of parental identity.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided personal information, or if you have questions about our practices, contact us at support@farworld.gg.
9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
For App users, you can manage tracking preferences through your device settings (e.g., limit ad tracking on iOS or opt-out of personalized ads on Android).

Each service provider is a for-profit entity that processes the information on our behalf, following the same strict privacy protection obligations mandated by the CCPA.

Upon receiving your request, we will need to verify your identity to determine you are the same person about whom we have the information in our system. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with information you have previously provided us. For instance, depending on the type of request you submit, we may ask you to provide certain information so that we can match the information you provide with the information we already have on file, or we may contact you through a communication method (e.g., phone or email) that you have previously provided to us. We may also use other verification methods as the circumstances dictate.
We will only use personal information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the extent possible, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for the purposes of verification. However, if we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information for the purposes of verifying your identity and for security or fraud-prevention purposes. We will delete such additionally provided information as soon as we finish verifying you.
