If you login with Facebook, Twitter or another social network service when using the games, we can see who your contacts on those services are. We will use that information to allow you to find your contacts on those services. If you simply share content from within the games via Facebook, Twitter or another service, we do not know who your contacts on that service are.
If you give us an e-mail address or other contact information, we may use that to contact you from time to time with information about updates and other notices about our games.
