In addition, the Site may use "cookies" to gather non-personally identifiable information.

If you would like to delete cookies or instruct your browser to delete or refuse cookies, please visit the help pages of your web browser.
We do not use cookies to authenticate users, to identify specific users of the Site or to deliver our services. We employ cookies only to track general, non-Personal Data about Site usage (e.g., pages viewed, time spent on our Site, and websites visited just before and just after our Site) for statistical and market research purposes. The information is collected on an aggregated and anonymous basis and is not shared with third parties.
We do not utilize web beacons or other technological means of tracking users of our Site and games. We may use server-side log files as part of our operational functions. The data held in log files includes your IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, e-mail application, Internet service provider, referring/exit Web pages, computer platform type, date/time stamp, and user activity (e.g., feature usage, user rankings, game statistics). KRU may use server log data to analyze trends and administer the services offered through the Site. IP addresses are not tied to any Personal Data. The software enabling the Site may have associated log and temporary files that are stored on KRU's servers. The foregoing information is collected on an aggregated and anonymous basis. When any game is updated or "patched," our patch routine may check your computer to see that you have the most recent version of game-specific files.

KRU shall not be liable in any way for such disclosure of Personal Data.
Use of Information Collected/GDPR Compliance
We use your Personal Data for operational purposes only. For example, we may use your information to send you administrative communications either about your account with us or about features of our Site, including any changes to this Policy. Whatever the purpose may be, we only collect information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests and our legitimate business objectives. We do not profile, target or otherwise deliver advertising or unsolicited content or services to our users by use of their Personal Data. We attempt to limit access to Personal Data about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.
We do not share Personal Data with, or transfer Personal Data to, any third-party companies without explicit notice and consent from you. We only engage in "processing" of your Personal Data as defined under the GDPR (collecting, storing and using such information), after you affirmatively consent to provide it to us, in a manner compatible with EU regulations; we endeavor to keep your information accurate and up to date, and not keep it for longer than necessary. If we decide in the future to transfer any of your Personal Data to third parties, we will do so after notice to you and only and only with "appropriate safeguards" or under another GDPR-approved transfer mechanism, such as pursuant to a Data Protection Agreement which contractually requires that data will be processed only for limited and specified purposes consistent with your consent, that the recipient will provide the same level of protection, and that the recipient will notify Kru if it makes a determination that it can no longer meet those obligations.
In conformance with the GDPR, users in the European Union may have the right to: (i) request access to their Personal Data; (ii) request rectification of their Personal Data; (iii) request deletion of their Personal Data; (iv) request restriction of processing of their Personal Data; (v) request data portability; and/or (vi) object to the processing of their Personal Data (including objection to profiling). Access information includes, among other things, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned, and the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed. If you would like to make such a request, please contact our Data Protection Officer as provided at the conclusion of this Policy.
