Pokémon GO developer Niantic will soon change hands after selling its gaming business to Scopely for $3.5 billion.In a recent new interview, Michael Steranka, a middleman of Niantic’s premium product, answered some players’ concerns about the acquisition, including player location data collected by the game, and future access to that data.

In an interview with game video maker TrainerTips, Sternka discussed the reasons why the company decided to sell, the upcoming changes, the idea of ​​pop-up ads in the game, and the issue of player location data being shared with Saudi Arabia's official government.

This is mainly due to the fact that Scopely is a company owned by Saudi Arabia’s “state-owned” Savvy Games Group, backed by Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund, has acquired stakes in many gaming companies in recent years as Saudi Arabia is increasing its presence in various industries.This has caused concerns among players in many other countries.

Speaking about the secretive nature of location information, Sternaka promised, "All of this will stay in the United States. It will never leave the United States. And it will never be conceived with Savvy or others. In fact, Scopely itself is also completely independent. So there are enough quarantines out there, too. You can trust that all your data will remain in the servers in the United States, and, like we mentioned, we will actually clear all the data and remove the data collection completely after the game runs without it."

Earlier in the same interview, he did disclose that the data would be cleared, revealing that “as opposed to general belief” that the company “does not store more than the player data needed to actually run the game.”He also later added that all data will remain “fully encrypted and protected”, which has been the case since the game was launched in 2016.
