4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

We may share limited data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the Game (hosting, payment processing, push notifications). These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may not use your data for their own purposes.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public from harm.
