A. Service Providers: We transfer information to service providers and other partners who support our business operations. This includes partners that provide technical infrastructure services, help us analyse how our Services are used, measure ad effectiveness, cheating detection, facilitate payments, or offer customer support. These partners are required to adhere to strict confidentiality obligations consistent with this Privacy Policy and our agreements with them. They are authorised to use your personal information only as necessary to perform their functions on our behalf. We partner with anti-cheating platforms such as “CheatBlocker” who provide us with cheating detection services, so as to ensure the integrity and security of our Services.
B. Affiliates: We may share your information with our affiliates for purposes that are consistent with this Privacy Policy. This allows us to streamline operations across our business entities and deliver a cohesive user experience.
C. Advertising Partners: We work with advertising partners, including advertisers, ad networks, exchanges, publishers, and others, to provide advertising services.

5.1 Data Security
At OKSpin, safeguarding your personal information is a top priority. We employ robust physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect the data we collect, process, and store. Our security protocols ensure that the data exchanged between you and our platform is protected during transmission. You can verify that your connection is encrypted by looking for the "https://" in the browser's address bar, along with a padlock symbol.
In addition to encryption, we regularly review and update our security measures to keep pace with technological advancements. Our security practices include:
However, despite our best efforts, no method of data transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. It is also important to note that data transmitted in an unencrypted form, such as via email, could be intercepted by unauthorised third parties. Users should take precautions to protect their data during transmission, such as using encryption tools or other protective measures.
If you have any concerns about the security of your personal information, please contact us at security@okspin.tech.
5.2 Fraud Prevention and Automated Decision-Making
We utilize automated anti-fraud heuristics and machine learning to detect and prevent fraudulent behavior and to avoid misuse of our Services, including combating bots and synthetic users. The information processed for this purpose may include in-app behavior modeling and user device characteristics, among others. This processing is necessary to secure our Services and prevent misuse of the loyalty program. Without this activity, we would not be able to provide the OKSPIN loyalty program and rewards.
Furthermore, we may process your biometric data using facial scan technology to prevent fraudulent, synthetic, or illegitimate users from misusing the OKSPIN loyalty rewards program to wrongfully acquire rewards. Such processing is crucial for maintaining the integrity of our Services and ensuring we can continue to provide them to you. Therefore, if you do not provide your consent for the processing of biometric data, we may not be able to offer you such Services. You may opt to receive alternative services from OKSPIN without the loyalty rewards program by signing up for the OKSPIN game discovery email newsletter.
If fraudulent or synthetic behavior is detected, we will remove or block the account. We have implemented appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including the right to obtain human intervention, express your point of view, and contest the decision by appealing the account block or termination by contacting customer support at privacyr@okspin.tech.

When we do, we will post a notice on the Website and/or send you an email.
5.4 Storage Duration of Your Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by legal and regulatory obligations. Our data retention practices include the following:
