Our Games are generally intended for audiences aged 13 and older.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child under 13 has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us at [Your Contact Email], and we will take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account if applicable.

For games that may appeal to younger audiences, we take additional care to ensure advertising is appropriate and limit data collection where necessary.

If you are located outside India and choose to use our Games, please note that we transfer data, including personal information, to India and process it there. Our servers and third-party partners (like ad networks) may also be located in various countries around the world.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer. We will take steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
