We will also be deleting all User Accounts and any personal information that was collected from online-enabled versions of the game that were available in 2025 from our systems. This deletion is scheduled to take place on Monday May 25th, 2026. If you would like to make an inquiry or request regarding your personal information before this time, please email us at [email protected]. If your only experience playing Top Check has been in the year 2026, then we do not have any personal information stored about you.
