Tencent Holdings Limited, a Chinese company, holds 15.5% of the shares in Krafton. It is the second-largest shareholder in the company after the Chairman, Chang Byung-gyu, who owns 16.4%.

As PUBG Mobile was banned in India because of its Chinese roots, many Indian mobile gamers were worried about their data protection when it came to Battlegrounds Mobile India. To address this issue, Krafton recently published an official statement stating:

"Similar to other global mobile games and apps, BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA also uses third party solutions to provide unique game features. In the process of using these solutions, some game data was shared to third parties. […] data shared to third parties are ONLY to enable certain game features."

Indian mobile gamers were also assured that their data would only be stored on servers located in India and Singapore. No violation of the privacy policy took place as per Krafton.
