1. Information We Collect

Hawkgaming collects various types of information to provide you with a secure, efficient, and personalized gaming experience. The data we collect can be broadly categorized into two types: Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII).

1.1. Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
