​

A. Information You Provide to Us Directly

​

We may collect the following personal information that you provide to us:

​

• Account Creation. To access certain parts of our Services, you may need to create a profile (your “AviaGames Account”).

You may also have the option to add a short description about yourself or a profile image. Your Username, country location, profile image, and description about yourself will be visible to other Users.

  • You can also access some our Services as a guest, without creating an AviaGames Account.
