Supercell Cooperating With US Security Probe of Parent Tencent

Supercell Oy, the Finnish game company owned by Tencent Holdings Ltd., said it’s cooperating with a US government security probe of its Chinese parent’s data practices.

The Helsinki-based company said Wednesday that operational independence is part of its shareholder agreement and that Tencent has no access to player data outside of China, where that company serves as local publisher and operator of Supercell games.
