Where qt999 engages third-party service providers to process personal data on its behalf (for example, payment processors, fraud prevention services, or game content providers), those parties act as data processors and are subject to written data processing agreements that require them to handle personal data only in accordance with qt999's documented instructions and applicable data protection obligations.
