You should assume that other players in a game can see and potentially capture content displayed there
(for example, via screenshots), even if such behavior may violate our Terms.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, financing, or similar
transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to confidentiality
and data protection obligations. We will take reasonable steps to notify you if your personal

4.5 Third-Party AI Services

specifically AI-powered image transformation within the game.
What data is shared:
- Photos you upload within the app are sent to these third-party AI services for image processing and
transformation.

guide the transformation.
Third-party AI providers we use:

game content.

details) to these AI services.

processing of your request, in accordance with their respective data usage policies.

8. Children's Privacy
The Service may be rated 9+ in certain app stores based on content guidelines. However, for legal and
safety reasons:
- The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal
information from children under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian consent where required
by law.

parent or legal guardian and only where such use is permitted by applicable law.

appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information and may disable the
associated account.

contact us at info@twistpartygame.com.
9. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information
against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access.
However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute
security, and you use the Service at your own risk. You are responsible for maintaining the security of
your devices and your account credentials.
10. Third-Party Services and Links
The Service may include links to third-party websites, apps, or services, and may integrate with
third-party tools (including AI providers, analytics, and social login providers).
This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties. Their handling of your information is governed
by their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review their policies before using their
services.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date
