Privacy Policy

How we protect your information and privacy

This privacy policy covers how we treat personal information that we collect and receive. We do not intend to collect any personal information from children under 13 unless we believe such collection to be permitted by law. Please see below for our policy with respect to children under 13.

General

We gather user information to provide you with a customized experience on our site. Your user information helps us tailor the content, services, and games to your current and future needs. For this reason, we may ask you to register when you visit certain areas of our site. If you choose not to register, you may not have access to areas that require personal identification.

Use of Information

When you register, we only ask for a unique nickname and password selected by you. Your password is encrypted in our database.

All communication on the Internet takes place between pairs of IP addresses. Our web servers log the IP address that any connection is made from. We may use these IP addresses to help diagnose technical problems or prevent abuse of our systems or other site users. Your IP address may also be used to gather aggregate demographic data and target advertisements accordingly.

Your browser has options to accept, reject, or provide you with notice when a cookie is sent. A "cookie" is a small line of text that is stored with your web browser for record-keeping purposes and to help us provide better service to you. We use cookies to save your preferences on your machine so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit our site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests.

Our site contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. Our site may also link to websites that feature our trademarks and names along with trademarks and names of other companies. You should look at the privacy policy on those websites, as they may not be under our control.

Information Sharing

We will not share your personally identifiable information with third parties, aside from entities that perform services for us.

However, we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect someone's safety.

In the event that we are acquired by another company, your personal information may be part of the assets transferred to the acquiring party.

Google Analytics

We make use of Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. We may also make use of other Google Analytics for Display Advertising features, including Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, and the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration.

You may opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads by using the Google Ads Settings page. You may also prevent your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics by opting out through the use of the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

If we make use of the Google Analytics for Display Advertising Remarketing feature, we will use this feature to advertise online, and third-party vendors, including Google, may show our ads on sites across the internet.

Data from Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting may be utilized by us to help recognize and understand user preferences, to make improvements to our site, to choose content and advertising to display to you, and for other business purposes that will allow us to better serve you.

Cookie Policy

We use cookies to offer you a better browsing experience, analyze site traffic, personalize content, and serve targeted advertisements. If you continue to use this site, you consent to our use of cookies.

We and our advertisers may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance and personalize your experience on the site, including:

  • Operating and improving offerings on the site
  • Helping authenticate you when you are on the site
  • Remembering your preferences
  • Measuring and researching the effectiveness of our offerings
  • Customizing the content provided to you through the site
  • Showing targeted ads

We also use third-party vendor re-marketing tracking cookies, including the Google Adwords tracking cookie. This means we may continue to show ads to you across the internet, specifically on the Google Content Network (GCN). As always, we respect your privacy and are not collecting any identifiable information through the use of Google's or any other third-party remarketing system.

Users can refuse the installation of cookies or delete them by adjusting the browser settings on their computer. To learn more about how to adjust the settings of your internet browser, we recommend visiting the website of your browser's vendor.

Children Under 13

Our site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We respect the privacy of parents and children and are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). On those areas of the sites that ask for age, we do not collect personal information from individuals who identify themselves as under the age of 13 except in those limited circumstances where we believe that such collection is permitted under COPPA.

If a parent believes that their child has submitted personal information to us, they can contact us via email. We will promptly delete the information upon learning that it relates to a child under the age of 13.

We believe that parents should supervise their children's online activities and consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a kid-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from otherwise disclosing online their name, address, and other personal information without parental permission.

Security

We have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. These include a firewall to prevent unauthorized access to our systems and maintenance of registration information in a separate database.

Although we exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of information between your computer and our servers, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet, and we accept no liability for any unintentional disclosure.

Your personal information is password-protected, and you should take appropriate measures to protect the secrecy of your password. If you use a computer in a public place or share a computer with others, remember to sign out and close your browser window when you finish a session with us to prevent others from accessing your personal information.
