Privacy policy.

Who we are and what this covers

PocketzWorld Inc., doing business as Pocket Worlds (“Pocket Worlds,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operates this corporate website. This Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you browse this website, contact us about business opportunities, or interact with our recruiting materials.

This Policy does not govern player accounts or activity inside Highrise, Everskies, or another Pocket Worlds product. The product-specific policies linked above control those services. If there is a conflict, the policy presented within the relevant product controls for that product.

Information we collect

Website and technical information. When you visit, we and the providers that deliver the site may receive your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages requested, request time, and basic security or diagnostic information.

Information you send us. If you email Pocket Worlds, including about acquisitions, partnerships, press, or another business matter, we receive your contact details and the contents and attachments of your message.

Recruiting information. Our careers page displays vacancies supplied by our recruiting provider. If you choose to apply, that provider and Pocket Worlds may receive information such as your name, contact details, employment history, education, portfolio, application responses, interview notes, and information you voluntarily provide. Applications are submitted outside this corporate website.

We do not offer player registration, virtual purchases, public posting, or player messaging on this corporate website. Data created through those activities is covered by the applicable product policy.

How we use information

• Provide, secure, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the corporate website.
• Respond to messages and manage business, acquisition, partnership, investor, press, and vendor relationships.
• Evaluate candidates, arrange interviews, keep recruiting records, and make employment decisions.
• Understand website performance and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and unlawful activity.
• Comply with legal obligations, enforce our rights, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
• Complete a corporate transaction such as financing, reorganization, acquisition, or sale, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Legal bases for processing

Where privacy law requires a legal basis, we process personal information as necessary for our legitimate interests in operating a secure corporate website, communicating with people and organizations, recruiting talent, and managing our business; to take steps at your request or perform a contract; to comply with legal obligations; and with consent where consent is required.

You may withdraw consent at any time, but doing so does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal. Our legitimate interests do not override your rights and freedoms where applicable law provides otherwise.

How we disclose information

We may disclose personal information to affiliated companies; hosting, content-delivery, security, communications, professional-advisory, and recruiting providers; and other vendors that process information for us. We may also disclose it to authorities or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or complete a corporate transaction.

We do not sell personal information collected through this corporate website or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing.

Cookies and third-party services

This corporate website does not currently set advertising or behavioral-analytics cookies. Essential infrastructure may use short-lived technical mechanisms or server logs to deliver and protect the site. Pages also load resources such as fonts, media, and current job listings from third-party providers, which may receive connection and device information when your browser requests those resources.

When you follow a link to Highrise, Everskies, a job application, a social network, or another external service, that service’s terms and privacy policy apply. If we introduce materially different tracking or analytics, we will update this Policy and provide any controls required by law.

Retention and international transfers

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including to maintain business or recruiting records, satisfy legal or accounting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary based on the information, the relationship, and applicable law.

Pocket Worlds is based in the United States, and our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where required, we use recognized safeguards for international transfers. Data-protection rules in those countries may differ from those where you live.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information; withdraw consent; and appeal a decision or complain to a regulator. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where permitted or required by law.

To exercise a right involving a player account, use the support channel identified in the applicable Highrise or Everskies policy. For information handled through this corporate website, contact us using the details below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Security and children

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

This corporate website is intended for a general business audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through it. Age requirements and protections for our games are described in their product-specific policies.

Changes and contact

We may update this Policy as our website, providers, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised version here and update the effective date. If a change materially affects how we handle previously collected information, we will provide additional notice where required.
