Security

We are committed to the security of any information that we hold. We have put in industry standard safeguards to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure to your personal information.

Personal information

We do not sell or lease any of the personal information that you provide to us, nor do we use this information to solicit you for further business.

Children's privacy

Colonize is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal data and we will delete it.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may request access, correction or deletion of personal data we hold about you. You can reset your advertising ID, revoke app permissions, or uninstall the game to stop further collection.

Data retention

Save data and account-linked progress are kept while your account is active or as needed for backup and support. Anonymous analytics may be kept in aggregated form.

Third-party services

Colonize is distributed via Google Play and the App Store. Optional platform services (Google Play Games, Apple Game Center, Facebook, Microsoft LIVE) apply only when you connect them and are governed by their own policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the game after updates means you accept the revised policy.
