VNG takes seriously its obligations regarding the protection of personal data and information in accordance with applicable laws, respecting the privacy of all users of our Services. VNG recognizes the importance of Your personal data and is committed to managing, protecting, and processing it appropriately.
This Personal Data Protection Policy ("Privacy Policy" or "Policy") is designed to help You understand how VNG processes the personal data You provide to VNG, whether currently or in the future, and to assist You in making informed decisions before providing Us with any of Your personal data.

Sensitive Personal Data is provided by You and You are responsible for its accuracy. VNG does not currently collect Sensitive Personal Data in the course of providing the Services. In the event that the nature of a specific Service requires the collection of such data, VNG will provide separate notice and obtain Your explicit consent.
1.5.

By doing so, You voluntarily and without coercion agree to allow VNG to collect, store, use, and process Your Personal Data for the purposes and within the scope specifically described in this Privacy Policy ("Consent").
1.8. You have the right to withdraw this Consent at any time by following the instructions in Article 12. Withdrawal of Consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing activities carried out prior to such withdrawal. However, in some cases, the withdrawal of Consent may affect Your ability to continue using all or part of the Services. This Privacy Policy applies only to Services directly operated and provided by VNG. When You leave the Services to access third-party websites, applications, or platforms — whether through links contained in the Services or otherwise — this Privacy Policy no longer governs the collection and processing of Your personal data on those platforms. VNG is not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or data processing activities of any third party.

1.9. We may update or amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in data processing activities, legal requirements, or the manner in which We operate the Services.
For changes of a material nature, including but not limited to the expansion of data categories collected, the addition of new processing purposes, or the sharing of data with new third parties, We will notify You through appropriate means (e.g., in-game notifications, email to the registered address, or prominent notice on the Website) at least seven (07) days prior to such changes taking effect. During that period, We will re-collect Your Consent for changes where required by law; and You have the right to disagree and cease using the Services, or to withdraw Your Consent pursuant to the mechanism set out in Article 12.
For changes that do not affect the substance of Your rights and obligations — such as language adjustments, contact information updates, or the addition of clarifying content — We may make such changes without separate notice and without re-collecting Your Consent. Changes will be posted on the Website, in the Games, and/or in Our Services along with the updated date.
If You do not agree with any provision of this Privacy Policy as amended, please stop using the Services and contact Us in accordance with the instructions in Article 12 to exercise Your rights with respect to data already collected.
