Privacy Policy
Disclaimer! Shinies is a virtual, non-monetary digital currency designed solely for entertainment and social engagement—no real money is involved. The platform lacks any real-money integrations or financial stakes, thus not falling under any gambling regulations. They are treated as in-game tokens rather than financial instruments. Anyone using Shinies as a form of currency—for example, by buying or selling items with Shinies or exchanging them for EUR, USD, etc.—is doing so independently and is not affiliated with Shinies. Shinies assumes no responsibility for such transactions.
