1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide, personalize, and continually improve the gaming experience for all users:

A. Information You Provide to Us Directly

  • Display Name & Unique Username: When you set up your profile, you choose a public Display Name and an optional unique handle (e.g., @username) so your friends can identify and challenge you.
