Some in-game rewards (for example suitcases) contain randomly selected items. The chances for each rarity level are shown in the Game before you open one.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent at any time (withdrawal does not affect processing that already happened).
