Storage, Transfers and Disclosure

    We follow generally accepted industry standards and maintain reasonable safeguards designed to secure the information in our possession; and take steps to ensure only those at Milgame with a legitimate business need to access your personal information are permitted to do so. We also take reasonable steps to assure that third parties to whom we transfer information will provide protections appropriate to that type of information. The security of your personal data is important to us but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

  • Transfers and Third Parties

    Our Apps may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications.

    We may disclose your personal data:

    • With suppliers and subcontractors, as necessary for the purposes set out in this notice.
    • With other members of our corporate group and our international network of partners.
