  • Contractual Requirements. Data necessary for the performance of contractual obligations.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention. Data retained to detect and prevent security incidents or fraudulent activities.

Consequences of Data Deletion

Once a data deletion request is processed:

  • Users may lose access to their accounts, along with any associated data, progress, or virtual items.
  • Data deleted cannot be recovered.
  • Certain residual data may remain in backup storage for a limited period (up to 90 days) for security, legal, or technical reasons, after which it will be permanently deleted.
Third-Party Data Deletion

Where applicable, IG shall notify third-party service providers or partners to delete user data they hold on behalf of IG, in accordance with their own data deletion policies.

Appeals and Complaints

If users are dissatisfied with the processing of their data deletion request, they may:

  • Contact IG’s Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
