User-generated content
Some games allow users to input text or other content. Content is provided by users and does not represent Chiby.io's views. Users are solely responsible for what they submit. We may remove content that violates our Terms or the law and may take action on accounts that abuse the service.
Your rights
UK/EEA users can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and object to certain processing. For consent-based processing (e.g., analytics cookies), you can withdraw consent via your browser controls.
To exercise rights, email chiby.customers[at]gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity.
Data retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above (e.g., your active account), unless law requires longer. Aggregated/anonymised data may be kept longer.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No online service is 100% secure, but we work to prevent unauthorised access, misuse, and incidents.
Children
This service is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required in your country). If you believe a child provided personal data, contact us so we can delete it.
International transfers
Personal data may be processed outside the UK/EEA. Where required, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (with the UK Addendum) for transfers.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page if we make material changes. If changes are significant, we may provide a more prominent notice.
