We may also de-identify, anonymize, or aggregate the information we collect, or collect it in a way that does not directly identify you. We may use and share such information as permitted by applicable law. (see “WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?” below.)

By using the Game, you represent that you are at least 13 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Game. If we learn that personal information from users less than 13 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records.
