Affiliates. We may disclose any information we receive to our current or future affiliates for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Vendors and Service Providers. We may disclose any information we receive to vendors and service providers retained in connection with the provision of our Services.
User Content. Our Service is an AI powered multiplayer, text-role-playing-game (RPG) with world building tools. It is partly a social service in which you can create, find, enjoy, and share content with others. Your display name and profile avatar will always be viewable and searchable by other users. The content you create on our Services is private to you by default. You may choose to make your content public by marking it as public. If you choose to make your profile or user generated content public, anyone can view it. Below in the “Your Choices” section of this Privacy Policy, we describe the controls that you can use, along with other relevant settings associated with your account, to limit the sharing of certain information. We are not responsible for the other users’ use of available information, so you should carefully consider whether and what to post or how you identify yourself on the Services.
Analytics Partners. We use analytics services to collect and process certain analytics data. These services may also collect information about your use of other websites, apps, and online resources.
Advertising Partners. We work with third-party advertising partners to show you ads that we think may interest you.
