        • The feature can be supported (only on the mobile platform) from GAMEPOT SDK 3.4.2, and information is only updated when the information is passed from social SDK.
          By default, Twitter, LINE, and Game Center logins are unsupported,
          and the types of social media that are saved under specific conditions are as shown below.
          • Log in to Google/Google Play game service: it receives and saves the email information by default. / Related information is not saved if not provided by Google SDK.
          • Facebook: it receives and saves related information if the "email" item is among the Facebook permissions. (The "email" is part of Facebook permissions by default in GAMEPOT.)
          • Apple: receives and saves email information or undisclosed email information depending on the user's choice upon the initial login (account connection) to the app.
            After the initial login, IDs can't be saved because the SDK doesn't pass the information.
          • NAVER: the email item must be selected among the information to provide on the NAVER console. It receives and saves email information, but only if the user has selected the email item through the NAVER login terms and conditions upon the initial login (account connection). The email information may be different from the logged-in account information because the information passed is the reachable email information linked to the account. Information other than this can't be saved because it is not passed from the SDK.
