User-provided Information:
When you use the Service, we may collect or you may provide information about you and we may link this information with other information about you. Depending on the service, you may provide us with information in various ways on the Service. For example, you provide us with information when you register for a Multiverse Account (we will collect your email address, birthday, and allow you to create a username and password), subscribe to our newsletters, use the Service, make a purchase on the Service, or send us customer service-related requests.
In some instances we use login technologies that allow us to log you in to the Service using a third party login, for example an Oculus / Meta Quest Account. In these instances certain personal information from the third party including, but not limited to, your username, friends list and avatar icon may be transferred to us so that we can provide you with the Service.

Cookies and Automatically Collected Information:
When you use the Service, we may send one or more cookies – small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your device. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Service. Please review your web browser “Help" file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete, or choose not to accept, cookies from the Service, you may not be able to utilize the features of the Service to their fullest potential. We may use third party cookies on our Service as well. For instance, we may use Google Analytics or a similar service to collect and process certain analytics data. To learn more about how Google Analytics uses your information and what choices you have, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. FT Group does not process or respond to web browsers’ “do not track” signals or other similar transmissions that indicate a request to disable online tracking of users who use our Service.
We may also automatically record certain information from your device by using various types of technology, including but not limited to “clear gifs" or “web beacons.” This automatically collected information may include your IP address or other device address or ID, web browser and/or device type, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or just after you use the Service, the pages or other content you view or otherwise interact with on the Service, and the dates and times that you visit, access, or use the Service. We also may use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message. This information is gathered from all users, and may be connected with other information about you.

Additionally, we may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may function as web beacons even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected through third-party web beacons and buttons is collected directly by these third parties, not by FT Group.
