As described in this Privacy Policy, from time to time we offer our users to pre-register for new games, products, and services and to sign-up for marketing emails. To protect your personal information, we offer this feature only to users who have passed the age screening.
When you want to pre-register for our new game and you give us your name, date of birth and email address and you tick the first box on the pre-registration form, you are saying that you are happy for us to use this information about you to let you pre-register for this game and get the free item if enough people pre-register, and to use your email address to send you information about the game, such as when it is ready for you to play, and when any new updates or new features of the game will be available.

In any emails that we send you, we use something called pixel tags, that let us see whether you have read our emails and clicked on any of the links in those emails. We do this so we can make our emails better. We also use something called tracking links, that lets us see if you ended up downloading the game. We do this to keep a track of how many people decided to download the game after receiving an email from us. We use other companies to help us send these emails and use these pixel tags and tracking links, so the information about you that you give to us is shared with those companies so that they can help us with this.
If you are unsure what any of this means, you should speak to an adult. You can always ask us to stop sending you emails at any time by selecting the "unsubscribe" link at the end of all our marketing and promotional update communications to you, or by sending us an email to [email protected].
