Other Players and Users

Social features are a core component of our games. Other players and users may, for example, see your profile data, in-game activities and read the messages you have posted.

Partners Working for Frogmind

Frogmind has partners to perform services for us. These partners process your data only at and according to Frogmind´s instructions to provide the Service, such as hosting, player support, advertising, analytics and fraud prevention.

Other Companies and Public Authorities

In order to combat fraud and illegal activity, we may exchange data with other companies and organisations and provide it to public authorities in response to lawful requests.

We may also disclose your data based on your consent, to comply with the law or to protect the rights, property or safety of us, our players or others.

Advertising and Social Media partners

The Service includes features from our partners, such as social media interaction tools and in-game advertising. A list of these partners is available at www.frogmind.com/en/partner-opt-out. These partners may access your data and operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to check their privacy policies to learn more about their data processing practices.

International Data Transfers

Our Service is global by nature and your data can therefore be transferred to anywhere in the world. Because different countries may have different data protection laws than your own country, we take steps to ensure adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data as explained in this Policy. Adequate safeguards that our partners may use include standard contractual clauses approved by EU Commission and the Privacy Shield certification in case of transfers to the USA.

Access the personal data we hold about you.

If you request, we will provide you a copy of your personal data in an electronic format. This will cause us some work, thus we hope to express our wish that you would not do such requests lightly.
