We at Byteforge Tech Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” “We,” or “Byteforge”) value and are committed to protecting your privacy by adhering to this policy. This policy outlines the types of information we may collect or that you may provide when you purchase, download, install, register with, access, or use the Byteforge application (hereinafter referred to as the “App”) or website (hereinafter referred to as the “Website,” collectively referred to as the “Service”). The policy also explains our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
The payment processors we use have their own privacy policies, and we recommend that you read their privacy policies before providing information through them.
Please read this policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will handle your information. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not download, register with, or use this Service. By downloading, registering with, or using this Service, you agree to this privacy policy. This policy may be updated from time to time, with changes appearing on the Website and App. Your continued use of this Service after we make changes signifies your acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
We may collect information about the Services you use and how you use them, such as the selections you make on our Services. The information we collect includes personally identifiable information (PII), device-identifiable information (DII), and log information, as described below.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is information that can be used to identify or contact you online or offline, such as your name, address, email, phone number, photos or audio data, payment information, or data linked to such identifiers. The Service may collect PII when you provide it to us, such as when you use our Services, attempt to contact us, submit a resume or job application, or connect with us on social media or one of our partners. For example, you may see a "Log in with..." button, which means we request PII from a partner to streamline the login process. A third party may present you with a "request for permission" screen, asking to share your ID, profile picture, and other listed information with us.
Device-Identifiable Information (DII) includes cookies, unique device and advertising identifiers, statistical identifiers, usernames, and similar identifiers linkable to a browser or device. From these platforms, we may also receive other information, such as your IP address, user agent, timestamps, precise and imprecise geolocation, sensor data, apps, fonts, battery life information, and screen size.
Our Services also collect information about your interactions, including navigation paths, search queries, crashes, timestamps, purchases, clicks and shares, and referral URLs. We may combine this data with PII and DII. For efficiency's sake, information about your interactions may be transmitted to our servers while you are not using the app.

1.To provide you with the Services and their content, as well as any other information, products or services that you request from us.
2.Perform any other purposes provided by you.

However, the data required to run the services (such as game archive files and your personal data) will be retained for the duration of your need for our services. Our partners may have different data retention policies, so we encourage you to review their privacy policies via the link provided in the "Partners we Use" section.
Where possible, we aim to retain data for no more than 36 months, unless that data is necessary to run the service or for a "legitimate business interest". "Legitimate business interests" means that we need this data to deal with any legal issues that may arise.
We strive to protect our users from unauthorized access, unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information we hold, and we take reasonable security measures, including appropriate confidentiality, integrity, and availability protections. However, because no software or storage system is 100% secure, we cannot guarantee the security of your information associated with this service or any other service.
A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. If your browser's preferences allow, each website can send its own cookie to your browser, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookie it has already sent you, not the cookies sent to you by other websites. Cookies record information about your online preferences.
Users can choose to set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or to not receive cookies at any time. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on our website.
We do not knowingly retain or use personally identifiable information of children. If you are legally considered a child, please do not provide any personal data to us. If we have inadvertently collected any information of a child, we will delete this data as soon as possible, so please notify us by emailing [email protected].
For parents or guardians, if you wish to review or amend your child's information, request its deletion, or refuse further collection or use of your child's information, please send an email to [email protected]. Be sure to include your email address and a telephone number where we can reach you.

· Specific pieces of your personal information that we have collected.
Please note, however, that in certain circumstances, we may need to retain this information for legitimate business or legal purposes, so we may deny your request to delete this information. This may also impact the services we provide to you, such as your ability to participate in contests or make in-game purchases.
We may update our privacy policy from time to time. If we make significant changes to how we handle users' personal information, we will publish a new privacy policy on this page, notify you that the privacy policy has been updated, and provide a notification within the app and through the email address specified in your account when you first use our service after the changes have been made.
