INFORMATION FOR PARENTS

Before your child can use Tower of Fantasy (the “Game”), you will need to provide your consent to approve your child’s account set-up and the processing of their personal information.

 

What personal information does the Game process?

 

Tower of Fantasy is a PC and mobile game.

 

If your child successfully signs up to the Game, this will result in the collection and sharing of certain personal information, including:

 

 

You can review our Privacy Policy for more details on what personal information we collect and how we use and process the information.

 

Does the Game process personal information differently for children?

 

Yes. In some jurisdictions children will not be able to access certain features – such as in-game free text and audio chats.

 

Why is my consent required?

 

Certain jurisdictions require or recommend the consent of a parent or legal guardian before their child can sign up to a game such as Tower of Fantasy, where personal information will be processed. If you do not consent, or withdraw your consent, we will immediately delete any personal information collected up to that point.

 

What method(s) can I use to verify my child’s account?

 

In some jurisdictions, including the United States, we ask for date of birth at registration. We will not allow a child to sign-up without first obtaining verifiable consent from that child’s parent or legal guardian. As part of this, we need to verify that you are an adult capable of providing such consent. To do this, we charge or authorize a small amount to a credit card. This process is handled by specify name of third party payment processor. We do not process your credit card information – only the third party payment processor collects credit card information. The credit card information is not retained for any reason, including future purchases or connected to in-app payment functions (if any) in the game.

 

What if there are changes to the Game in the future?

 

If we make any changes to the way their personal information is processed, we will notify you of those changes. You must consent to those changes before your child’s personal information will be processed for that new purpose.

 

Will you retain my personal information?

 

We will keep a record of your email address so that we can notify you of any changes to the processing of your child’s personal information, and so that we know you are a parent or legal guardian of a player when you contact us. As mentioned above, your credit card information is not processed by us, but instead only processed by a third party payment processor. We do not have access to your credit card information.

 

What if I do not consent?

 

If you do not consent (including by providing your credit card details for verification) then your contact information will be deleted.

 

How do I withdraw my consent or delete my child’s account?

You can withdraw your consent or delete your child’s account by submitting a request through our online form for data privacy related request and question at https://dsar.toweroffantasy-global.com/tchk?id=tof. You can also request a copy of your child’s personal information at any time using this form.
