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, goods and advertising to your current and
future needs. For this reason, we may ask you to register or to
provide personal information when you post comments, enter a
contest, order products, subscribe to a newsletter and/or visit
certain areas of our site. If you choose not to register you may
not have access to areas that require personal identification.
If you register with our site or purchase products from us,
from time to time we may e-mail you with messages about our
services or third party products and services we believe may be
of interest to you, such as new products, features, services,
special offers and updated information. The newsletters may
contain code that enables our database to track your usage of
the newsletters, including whether the e-mail was opened and/or
what links (if any) were clicked. We will combine that
information with other information we have about you and may use
that information to improve your site experience and/or provide
customized e-mail communications to you. In addition, if you
register with our site or purchase products you may
automatically receive e-mails confirming your registration
and/or purchase and providing you with necessary information
relating to the access or use of your registration and/or
purchase. With the exception of the e-mails described in the
preceding sentence which are necessary to provide customer
support and deliver products and services to you, you may
opt-out of receiving e-mail from us as described below.
Use of Information
When you register, we ask for your e-mail address, a unique
nickname selected by you and other information. Once you are a
registered user you can update your profile and may be able to
provide additional preferential information.
For contests, we collect information from users in order to
register them for the contest and to provide for payment. We may
use an order form for users to request information, products and
services. For that order form, we collect a users contact
information (e-mail address) and necessary financial information
to process the order (i.e. credit card number). Contact
information from the order (including e-mail) may be used to
deliver digital products and information. We may use third
parties to accept and process orders and credit card purchases
for merchandise and products, including software.
We may occasionally present a special contest or promotion
that is sponsored by another company. To qualify for entry in
that contest or promotion, we may ask you to provide personal
information. If we plan to share that information with the
sponsor(s) or with others, we will provide a statement to that
effect in the contest or promotion terms.
All communication on the Internet takes place between pairs
of IP Addresses. Our Web servers will 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 password (in an encrypted format) on your
machine so you dont have to re-enter it each time you visit our
site. We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your
interests and track your downloads and purchases from our site.
We use a variety of companies to serve the advertisements on
some of our pages. These companies and advertisers may place and
access their cookies on your computer. Other companies use of
their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not
ours. We may use your information or allow advertisers or
companies that serve advertisements access to your information
to determine which advertisements you will see. This information
may include your demographic information, geographic location,
what content you access on our site, how you rate various
content, language contained in your comments and other
information.
Our site contains links, including banner and other ads, 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 that co-branded Website, as the co-branded
Website may not be under our control.
Applications you use or download from our site may contain
third party digital rights management systems (DRMS) which may
allow for communication between your software and the third
party and utilize security features (e.g., preventing
distribution of or access to the applications in the event of
unauthorized use). These DRMS are subject to their own license
agreements and you agree that we shall not be responsible for
any loss or damage of any sort relating to the use of the DRMS
or your dealings with such third parties. The applications may
also contain DRMS produced by us which allow for communication
between the applications you use or download and our systems and
which collect information describing your computer system in
order to prevent illegal or unauthorized use of the
applications.
For reasons such as improving member experience and providing
customized communications to our users, we may receive
information about you from third party sources and our web logs
and add it to the information that we have received from you.
Web logs automatically record anything a web server sees, which
may include e-mail addresses you enter into a form or pages
viewed by a user at a particular IP address.
Information Sharing
We will not share your personally identifiable information with
third parties, aside from entities that perform services for us,
such as fulfilling orders or processing payment, that either are
bound to comply with our privacy policy or have privacy policies
that protect your information unless you have opted-in to such
sharing. If you have previously opted-in to such sharing under a
prior privacy policy version, you are still considered to have
opted-in under this privacy policy. As stated, and whether or
not you have opted-in, we may use third parties to accept and
process orders for merchandise and products, including software,
and such third parties may get access to your personal
information for the purposes of providing services or products
to you on our behalf. In addition, if you opt-out, we may share
that information with third parties who send e-mails on our
behalf so that they do not e-mail you.
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 someones safety.
We may request demographic information from you (for example,
your age, education level or household income) from time to
time. We will not share that information in a manner that
identifies you as an individual with any other entity, unless we
let you know that at the time of collection or we have your
permission. When we share demographic information with third
parties, we will give them aggregate information only.
In the event that we acquired by another company, your
personal information may be part of the assets transferred to
the acquiring party.
Opt-Out
If you provide us with your e-mail address, and do not opt-out
of receiving e-mail from us, we may e-mail you with information,
including information about selected third parties. If you do
not want to receive information from us, you may decline to
receive it (or Opt-Out) either when you provide personal
information to us or you may update your profile. You may also
choose to Opt-Out from certain types of e-mail by following the
unsubscribe instructions that appear on each newsletter. You may
also contact us as provided below. Please note that there might
be a brief delay between when you submit your request to opt-out
and when it is processed and reflected in our systems;
accordingly you might continue to receive e-mails from us for a
few days after you unsubscribe. We maintain records of those
users who opt-out of specific e-mail options so that we do not
e-mail them with respect to those types of e-mails, and we may
share this information with third parties who send e-mails on
our behalf so that they do not e-mail you; this information may
also be contained in web logs (see above).
Children Under 13
Our site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We
assume products purchased through credit card means are
purchased by adults. We respect the privacy of parents and
children and are committed to complying with the Childrens
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 his or her child has submitted
personal information to we, he or she can contact us via e-mail
or postal mail as listed below. We will promptly delete the
information upon learning that it relates to a child under the
age of 13. Please note that it is possible some of this
information may remain archived in web logs and back-up archives
after we delete the information from its active database (see
above regarding web logs, and below regarding archived
information).
We believe that parents should supervise their childrens
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.
Other
We have security measures in place to protect 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 will 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. We will protect the
transmission of credit card information through industry
standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.
We may offer chat, user reviews, multi-player games, bulletin
board, or other public functions and any posting by you is
considered public information available to other users. Any
posting is governed by our Terms of Use. You should take care to
not use personal information in your screen name or other
information that might be publicly available to other users.
If a user elects to use our site for informing a friend about
our site or particular features or content, we ask them for the
friends name and e-mail address. We will automatically send the
friend a one-time e-mail inviting them to visit our site. We
store this information for the sole purpose of sending this
one-time e-mail.
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 in order to
prevent others from accessing your personal information.
We maintain archives of our web logs, database, and other
systems and information. Please note that it is possible some of
this information may remain archived after we delete the
information from its active database (see above regarding web
logs). We maintain archives for disaster recovery, legal and
other non-marketing purposes.
