OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS:

Everwave collaborates with various vendors to deliver and enhance our Services, covering hosting, player support, analytics, fraud prevention, and notably, advertising. These vendors are contractually obligated to process your data exclusively as instructed by Everwave and solely for the purpose of providing these services.

Other Companies and Public Authorities:

In efforts to deter fraud and illegal activities, we may share your data with other entities or public authorities, but strictly in response to lawful requests.

Advertising and Social Media Partners:

The Service incorporates functionalities from third-party partners, such as social media interactions and in-game advertising, enabled through APIs or SDKs. Specifically, we utilize the services of advertising networks like Google AdMob, Unity Ads, and AppLovin to facilitate in-game advertising.

These networks can access data regarding your in-game activities and device (e.g., IP address, device identifiers, pages visited, geographic location, and the time of day). Moreover, we may aggregate and share data we've collected about you with these partners, who may utilize it (along with data gathered from other sources) to serve you targeted ads on various platforms within their networks, a practice commonly known as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.”

We encourage reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party services to better understand their data handling practices:

We utilize mechanisms like the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission among other lawful measures to achieve this level of protection.
