BEYOND GAMES is committed to protecting the privacy of its users and provide them a better social gaming experience ("users" or "you").
This Privacy Policy applies whenever you play our games or otherwise access any of our other products, services, content and/or the other domains provided by BEYOND GAMES, together referred to as “Services.”
By using the Service, you agree to the collection, disclosure, storage and use of your information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect, How We Collect It and The Legal Basis for It.
BEYOND GAMES only collects Personal Information to the extent necessary to fulfil one or more of its functions and activities, and will do so only by fair and reasonable means. Generally, we will collect Personal Information directly from the users, but in some circumstances (including as outlined below), it may be necessary for us to collect information from a third party source.
The legal basis for collecting and using the information depends on what the information is and the context in which we collect it.
Generally, we’ll normally process your personal Information for legitimate interest of efficiently fulfilling our contractual and legal obligations, account management, management reporting (including at our corporate group level), market review and analysis, promotion of our products and services and business development. In some cases the processing is necessary to perform our contract with you (i.e., our Terms of Service) or to fulfill legal obligations, or to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for example, another user).
If we ask you to provide information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, this will normally be clear from the context in which we are requesting your information (for example, when we ask you to provide a username to access our Services, this will be to create an account for you in accordance with our Terms of Service), and, if not, we will provide an explanation to you at the relevant time. We will also make clear whether providing information is mandatory.
Every correspondence with you is logged and stored within our systems. when you provide us additional information other than the information mentioned in this policy (such as information revealing health or medical condition), you give us your explicit consent to process it for the intended purpose.
We do not sell personal information of our users and have not done so in the preceding 12 months. We also do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure, typically by "opting in" to receive information from a third party that is participating in a sweepstakes or other promotion on one of our sites. If you do ask us to share your personal information with a third party for its marketing purposes, we will only share information in connection with that specific promotion, as we do not share information with any third party (other than our service providers) on a continual basis.
