In order to provide you with the basic function of our Services, to ensure the security of your game account and create a fair, healthy and safe game environment, we need to obtain your permission to read/write the external storage of your devices (for example, if you use Android devices, which include reading permission to external storage, reading/writing permission to SD card content, and modifying/deleting permission to SD card content), and collect device and software information such as your user ID, device ID, device name, device type, device model and version, system version, IP address, device unique identifier (IMEI and Android ID for Android devices, IDFA for iOS devices), network type, and MAC address, etc.

Your consumption records, payment records and other necessary information related to transactions may be sensitive personal data. The collection of the above information is necessary to realize the consumption function of our Services, otherwise the transaction cannot be completed, but it does not affect your normal use of our Services with basic functions.

5. Interactive game information. In order to purify the game environment and maintain a healthy online environment, we will collect the text, picture, voice and video information you send in the game to filter inappropriate content such as pornography, violence, politically incorrect content, abuse and malicious advertisements, etc. If you wish to interact with other players through pictures, voice or video (if applicable to game functions), after obtaining your authorization and consent, we will obtain the permission of photos or files storage, microphone or camera to provide you with the functions such as screenshot saving, picture uploading and voice chatting. If you refuse to provide the aforementioned permission, you may not be able to use such functions, but your normal use of the basic functions will not be affected. You can also disable the preceding permissions in privacy settings at any time. Unless you voluntarily upload pictures, recordings and other information, we will not collect such information from your device.

You understand and agree that some of our Services may require you to enable specific permission on your device for the collection and use of your personal data. While the fact that we obtain a specific permission does not necessarily mean that we will collect your relevant personal data. Even if we have obtained such permission, we will only collect your personal data when necessary and in accordance with the Privacy Policy. You can disable any permissions at any time on the device. Please however note that once you close any permission, it means you have cancelled your authorization and we will no longer collect and use relevant data based on the corresponding permission, nor will we be able to provide you with the corresponding services. However, your decision to close your permission does not affect the collection and use of your personal data previously obtained under your authorization.

III. How We Disclose Your Personal Data

At times Sunborn Game may make certain personal data available to other companies that are wholly or jointly controlled by us (hereinafter as "Affiliates") and other third parties that work with Sunborn Game in order to provide Services to you.

• Affiliates: Your personal data may be shared with Sunborn Game's Affiliates for the purpose of rendering our Services to you. If Affiliates wish to process your personal data for a different purpose, they must first seek your consent, unless another lawful basis exists.

• Service Providers and Partners: Some of our Services will be provided with the assistance of third parties. We sometimes use third parties to control the collection of your personal data. For example, we may share your transaction card information (such as card number, expiration date, CVV) with payment service providers such as PayPal when you choose to use PayPal for payment processing on the Services. Similarly, we may share your user ID with social media platforms and other parties we partner with (e.g., Apple) when you choose to use social accounts to log into the Services or use Apple Pay on the Services. We may also share some personal data with our partners in particular so as to deliver you a better service and improve your user experience. For example, we may share your email address with advertising service providers who assist with marketing activities, such as displaying targeted ads, managing campaigns, tracking success, and analyzing performance to enhance your experience with relevant content.

• Purchasers and third parties in connection with a business transaction: Where a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy liquidation or similar action takes place, we may transfer or disclose your personal data following completion of such transaction and/or during the assessment process pending transfer. If transferred in such a case, your information would remain subject to this Privacy Policy or a privacy policy that, at a minimum, protects your privacy to an equal degree as this Privacy Policy.

• Law enforcement, regulators and other parties for legal reasons: We may disclose your personal data to third parties as required by law, or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary (a) to comply with a subpoena or other legal proceedings, legal actions or government agency requests; (b) when we believe in good faith that a disclosure is necessary to comply with the law and the reasonable requests of law enforcement; (c) to protect and exercise our legal claims, rights and property; (d) to protect your rights, property or personal safety or that of others; (e) to investigate fraud and (f) to protect the security or integrity of our Services.

• The public, when posted in certain public spaces: Some of our Services allow you to connect and interact with others. Your profile information or information that you post in a public space, including personal data, will be accessible to other users or the general public by default when you create it. Such content will be accessible by the general public or the members of the Services depending on the Services used.

Without your consent, we will not disclose your personal data to other third parties other than the above mentioned.

IV. How Your Personal Data Is Transferred Globally

Sunborn Game is a global business and our Services are spread around the world. As a result, we collect and transfer personal data on a global basis. That means that we may transfer your personal data to locations outside of your country. For more information, please contact us using the details set out in “Contact Us” section.

Please note that different countries or regions offer different levels of data protection. This means that your personal data could be stored in a country that offers a level of protection that may, in certain instances, be less protective of your personal data than the country or region in which you are located. However, in such cases, we will take measures to ensure that the personal data we collect is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws, and that your personal data is adequately protected. For example, we might ask your permission to transfer your personal data across borders, and we will implement adequate security measures and sign the necessary data transmission/sharing agreements with the recipients of your personal data prior to the transfer taking place. We will also specifically ensure that we comply with laws that require us to store data locally within a specific country or region. Specifically, this Game’s servers are located in the US, and our group locations and third-party service providers and partners operate around the world. This means that when we collect your Personal data, we may process it in any of these countries. In this case, we will take appropriate organizational and technical measures to ensure that your personal data is properly protected.

V. How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

We will only store your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the collection purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested, to perform a contract with you or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.

After the expiry of the retention periods, we will delete or anonymize your personal data, if this is technically not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

VI. How We Protect Your Personal Data

We will adopt safety protection measures in line with industry standards, including establishing reasonable system standards and security technologies to prevent your personal data from being accessed, used or modified without authorization, and to avoid data leakage or loss.

The Internet is not an absolutely safe environment. We recommend that you use complex passwords and pay attention to protecting your information security. Please take good care of your account number, password and other identity elements. When you use our Services, we will identify you by your account number, password and other identity elements. Once you disclose the above information, you may suffer losses that may be detrimental to you. If you find that your account number, password and/or other identity information may or have been leaked, please contact us immediately so that we can take corresponding measures in time to avoid or reduce related losses.

When communicating with a third party or purchasing goods and services through our Service, you will inevitably disclose your own information, such as contact information or email address, to the counterparty or potential counterparty. Please protect your information properly and provide it to others only when necessary.

The Internet environment is not one hundred percent secure, and we will try our best to protect the security of any information you send to us. Please understand that due to technical limitations and risk prevention limitations, even though we have tried our best to strengthen security measures, we can't always guarantee one hundred percent information security. You need to know that the system and communication network you use to access our Service may have problems due to circumstances beyond our control. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you understand that any information that you transfer to us is done at your own risk. If we learn of a security system breach we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the services or providing personal data to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the services. We may post a Policy via our Service if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to us in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive Policy of a security breach in writing.

VII. Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data

Data protection laws may give you a number of legal rights in relation to the personal data that we hold about you. Not all data protection laws are the same so not all of these rights apply in all places.

9. The Right to Non-Discrimination: Under CCPA, Sunborn Game will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their personal data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

However, for multiple and repetitive requests that exceed a reasonable limit, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover some of our costs, depending on the nature of the request. We are entitled to refuse requests in whole or in part, and we may refuse requests that are manifestly unfounded, unreasonably repetitive or that require disproportionate technical effort (for instance, requests that require the development of new systems). In addition, we may not respond to requests that directly concern significant issues of public interest or may cause serious damage to the legitimate rights and interests of you or other individuals or entities.
