How We Share Information
In the situations specified in this section, we share information with third parties as part of delivering our Service to you.
To enhance your gaming interactions with friends and other players on FoxPlay, we might reveal specific details to them.
Under the following circumstances, we may share personal and general information with third parties or allow them to extract such data from our Service:
Friends and Other FoxPlay Players
FoxPlay’s games and Service actively promote interaction among players. When you play a FoxPlay game or use our Service through a social network like Facebook, your friends on that social network who also play FoxPlay games may see your name, photo, player profile (which may contain the information mentioned in Section 2, “Information About You That You Share With Us Directly”), and details of your in-game activities (including the FoxPlay games you’ve played). Your consent to this sharing is assumed when you play a FoxPlay game or use our Service.
Moreover, in many FoxPlay games, other players, whether or not they’re your social network friends, can view your player profile (as described above), check out descriptions of your in-game actions, communicate with you through our Service, and send game or friend requests through our Service or the linked social network. For example, in one of our Bingo Rooms, when you participate in a bingo round, all other players in that room can see your player profile and send you an in-game chat message.
Privacy Policies of Linked Third-Party Services and Advertisers
We cannot be held responsible for the actions of third parties in their use of your information, except for our service providers who act according to our instructions.
Our websites and games may display advertisements from “Third-Party Services,” which are companies other than FoxPlay, that may lead to their own websites, online services, or mobile applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these Third-Party Services. If you have any questions about how these Third-Party Services handle your information, we suggest reviewing their policies and contacting them directly.
Retention Duration of Your Information
We will keep your information for as long as necessary to provide you with the Service, maintain our legitimate business operations, and/or protect or establish our rights.
The length of time we retain your personal information depends on the purpose for which we collected it and how we use it. However, we will not keep your personal information longer than necessary for our business needs or legal requirements.
We will store personal information related to your account and/or the Service for as long as your account remains active. If you decide to delete your account, we will take reasonable steps to delete this personal information. However, certain information may be retained even after your account is closed or deleted if necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect our rights.
Security of Your Information
We strive to safeguard your information diligently, but your active participation is also crucial.
We implement reasonable and suitable security measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of your data, both online and offline, in alignment with this Policy. The specific security measures employed vary based on the sensitivity of the information involved.
For users who have registered directly with FoxPlay, your profile information is safeguarded by the password you’ve chosen for your account. It’s vital that you maintain the security of your FoxPlay account and promptly report any unauthorized access. Should you forget your FoxPlay password, our Service offers guidance on resetting it. Please exercise caution in securing your social network account details, including your password, as a compromise of these accounts could lead to unauthorized access or deletion of your FoxPlay account. We strongly advise logging out of your FoxPlay and associated social network accounts after use.
While we take precautions to minimize the risk of security breaches, unauthorized access, or data loss, complete prevention is not guaranteed. Transmission of information to our Service is done at your own risk, as we cannot assure the security of data during transmission. If you have any concerns about the security of our websites, please don’t hesitate to contact us using the provided contact information.
