• As part of a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar business transfer.

Data retention

Local game records and saved boards remain in your browser until they are removed by you, overwritten by the app, or cleared by your browser. Analytics and server-side logs may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for security, debugging, reporting, and business operations.
