Online Social Features

We believe that users have a right to privacy especially when using non-public chat systems, we do not actively monitor messages sent between users using any chat systems within our Games. This is to say, we do not automatically collect every chat message sent through our systems. However, authorized community moderators or Blackminnow employees may at any point monitor messages that they have access to as an ordinary user of our Services (e.g., if a community moderator or employee is a member of a social group, they may receive messages sent between other users of that group and therefore would be considered monitoring said messages the moment they are received). Chat messages are only seen by us when:

i. An authorized community moderator or Blackminnow employee receives chat messages.

ii. A user submits a report against a user for a rule violation that occured through a chat system.
