Privacy Policy
effective date (10/19/2009)

We never give out or sell your personal information, address, phone number or email. Your information is used solely process your requests. We firmly believe in your right to privacy and actively support reduction in spam and unsolicited email. Therefore we will absolutely never disclose your information to anyone or any other business for any reason. Please note that this Policy applies only to sites maintained by this Company or its subsidiaries, and not to websites maintained by other companies or organizations to which we link, or that we have designed or created, but do not own. When you use this website, you may be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. For example, if you “click” on a banner advertisement or on a third party link, the “click” may take you off this website. These other sites may independently collect data, solicit personal information, or send their own cookies to you. We are not responsible for any use of the information including click-stream data that you may create when using such third party web sites. You should carefully review the privacy policies of these third party web sites in order to determine how they treat your personal information. Since this Policy may change over time as we modify or expand our service, we suggest that you check back from time to time in order to understand how we treat your information. Your use of this website constitutes your agreement to the terms of this Policy. If we decide to materially change our Policy, we will prominently post those changes on this page thirty (30) days prior to the change and provide you an opportunity to opt-out, so that you are always aware of what personal information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it. Your continued use of this website constitutes your agreement to any such changes, if any.

Generic Information:

We gather certain generic information with respect to customers’ use of our web site, such as the number of unique visitors, the frequency with which they visit, and the areas on the web site that they favor. These statistics are very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use this type of data in the aggregate-that is, we look at the data on a collective basis, in summary form, rather than on an individual basis. This data helps us determine the extent to which our customers use certain parts of our web site, which, in turn, enables us to make it as appealing as possible. We may also provide statistical “ratings” about how our customers collectively use our web site to advertisers, sponsors, and other companies with which we do business. These statistical ratings do not contain any personally identifiable information about you or any of our users.

Personal Information:

We maintain data that you agree to provide us online, on a voluntary basis, during (1) contests (registration or claiming a prize), (2) customer support requests, (3) registration for games or special game-specific event participation, (4) marketing surveys and email campaigns, (5) registration for membership on our sites, (6) ordering products on our sites, which will require us to collect information about fulfillment and payment of your order; or (7) when you request services from third party service providers on our site. Information collected may include your name, e-mail address, phone number, home address, credit card information to process your request for products or services, and birth date. We may verify or combine this information with data about you that we have obtained from other sources. We also collect and analyze traffic on our web site by keeping track of the IP addresses of our visitors. An IP address is a unique number assigned to your computer when you are using your browser on the Internet. We log this information so that we can monitor things like the number of visitors visiting the web site; however, we do not link your IP address to any personally identifying information. We do not require personal information to obtain access to any of our sites; however, you will not be able to access areas that require registration.

Protection For Children – COPPA Compliance:

We are committed to protecting the privacy and rights of children online. We believe that children should be able to use the Internet in a safe, productive, and efficient manner and should be afforded the highest protection available with respect to their personal information. To that end, we have made it our policy to not collect any individually identifiable information from users whom we know are under the age of 13. Our registration process blocks the registration of users under 13 years old and will automatically delete all individually identifiable information collected from such users. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (”COPPA”) imposes certain requirements upon web sites and online services that are directed toward children.

Cookies:

At certain times, we may seek to place “cookies” on your system to assist with your use of the site or to identify products and services that you have selected. Cookies are small files downloaded to your computer to track movements within websites. Some of our sites use cookies to keep track of your shopping cart or to deliver content specific to your interests. Some of our sites use cookies or other methods to monitor website usage so that we can better tailor our sites to what appeals to our users. Some of our sites use an outside ad company to display ads, which may contain cookies to target advertising while you are visiting our site. We may also use geographic or other information we have collected from you to make sure that the ads you see are for goods and services that are actually of interest to you or are available in your area. We may use cookie files to assure that you will not be served the same ads repeatedly. We do not have access to the information collected with cookies received with banner ads. Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies. You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. However some areas will not function properly if you do so.

Security:

When you place orders for purchased products or access your payment information, we use an advanced encryption technology known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to protect the transfer of your data from unauthorized parties. While on a secure page, such as our shopping cart, a lock or key icon appears on the bottom of your web browser. Although we have taken what we believe are reasonable measures to safeguard the personal information we have about you, the security of your transmission of that information may be undermined or compromised by third parties. We cannot and do not represent or warrant that Internet transmissions are entirely secure. Even the best policy can’t protect your online privacy and security in all circumstances. Unscrupulous advertisers, hackers, and scam artists are constantly searching the Internet looking for new targets. Your best protection is to understand the limits to privacy on the Internet and use common sense in all of your online activities.

Disclosure Exceptions:

Notwithstanding the above, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information to appropriate third parties if we are required to do so by law or we believe that such action is necessary:

* In order to comply with applicable law, court order, or as requested by other government or law enforcement authorities
* To protect the Company’s rights and property
* To investigate reports of users sending material using a false email address or users sending harassing, threatening, or abusive messages
* To protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our web site
* During emergencies, such as when we believe someone’s physical safety is at risk
