Children’s Privacy
Generally, we direct our Services to a general audience and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old (or older, if applicable law provides for different protections). We may direct certain Services to an audience of all ages—including children. For these Services or in instances where Apple flagged a player as a child, we restrict the collection of non-personal gameplay information on the Services and certain features or functionalities of the Services (e.g. multiplayer features). If we become aware that a child has provided personal information without a parent’s permission, we will take reasonable steps to remove such information. We encourage parents to instruct their children to never give out their real names, addresses, or phone numbers, without permission, when using the Internet.

These security measures are designed to protect against the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, misuse, alteration, and unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, the information under our control.
