Frogmind has partners to perform services for us. These partners process your data only at and according to Frogmind´s instructions to provide the Service, such as hosting, player support, advertising, analytics and fraud prevention.
Other Companies and Public Authorities

These partners may access your data and operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to check their privacy policies to learn more about their data processing practices.
