We do not use any data for marketing, analytics, or any other purposes beyond providing the game's core functionality.

3. Sharing of Data​

Generally, data is retained for as long as necessary to provide the services, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. You can request deletion of your Epic account data through Epic's support channels, which may affect your ability to use Hermods Ride.

5. Security of Data​

Epic employs industry-standard security measures to protect data processed through EOS. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We recommend using strong passwords and enabling two-factor authentication on your Epic account.

6. Children's Privacy​
