[Policy] Account Sharing, Proxy Servers & Account Security

At GREE we take account security extremely seriously. The following information is intended to help you protect your account and answer questions and concerns regarding Account Sharing, Proxy Servers, and Account Security.

Account sharing is against the GREE Terms of Service and can result in your account being banned. If a you are found to be sharing your account, regardless of the reasons why, we will be forced to take action against that account. Additionally, when you decide to share your account with other users, you are opening yourself up to serious risks including account theft. Even if you know and trust the person(s) you should NEVER share your account or any personal information. This includes your name, email address, passwords, or device ID. Protect your information, protect your account.

In regards to the usage of proxy servers, at GREE we understand there are times when users will have a legitimate reason to use web proxy services. However, over time, we have become aware of a class of proxy server designed specifically for our games. GREE games are designed to be compatible with generic web proxy servers, and therefore there is no need for special proxy servers for our games.

Proxy servers that are designed specifically for GREE games may have been architected to violate our Terms of Service. In particular, the ToS says:

You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account whether or not you have knowledge of those activities. ... You further agree not to ... use or distribute cheats, exploits, automation software, bots, hacks, mods or any unauthorized third party software designed to modify any user’s experience with the Service.

If a proxy server designed specifically for GREE games is designed to modify any user's experience with the game, it will be considered unauthorized third party software and you will be found in violation of the Terms of Service. As a user, you are ultimately responsible if a proxy server you use violates the ToS. Additionally, using a proxy server can open up the risks of your personal account and device information being obtained by unauthorized parties. Please use this information to protect the security of your account.
