We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

• Cloudinary — hosting and processing of uploaded images, such as avatars.
• Resend — delivery of account emails, such as verification and password reset messages.
• Our hosting and database providers — storage and delivery of Platform data.

These providers process information on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

Images you upload are stored by our image provider and are accessible to anyone who has the direct link to the file.

Beyond the service providers described above, we may share information only to:

• Comply with applicable law.
• Respond to valid legal requests.
• Protect the rights, safety, or security of our users or the Platform.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Operate the Platform.

When information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymize it where reasonably practicable.

At any time you may:

• Update your profile information.
• Change your password.
• Edit or remove optional information from your profile.

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request its correction or deletion, object to or restrict certain processing, request a copy of your information in a portable format, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Some information, such as moderation records or content required for fraud prevention, may be retained where permitted or required by law.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Passwords are stored in hashed form and are never readable by us.

However, no method of storing or transmitting information over the Internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Play Session Zero is intended for users who meet the minimum age described in our Terms of Use.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.

Play Session Zero is available to users around the world.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When material changes are made, we will update the “Last updated” date and may notify users through the Platform.

Continued use of the Platform after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
