files that allow a web site to count users who have visited that page or to access
certain cookies . When you receive email messages or newsletters from us , we may
use web beacons , customized links or similar technologies to determine whether the
e-mail has been opened and which links you click in order to provide you more
focused e-mail communications or other information . Cookies are small text files
that are placed on your hard disk by a Web page server . Cookies contain
information that can later be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the
cookie to you . Cookies can not be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your
computer . Like many other web sites , Ziff Davis sites use cookies to enable you
to sign in to our services and to help personalize your online experience . We may
use a cookie to identify members so they do not have to re-enter a user ID and
password when they wish to download a utility , post to a discussion , or sign into
an account . As another example , cookies can be used to control the number of
times you see advertisements , like pop-ups . By allowing us to better understand
how users interact with the site over time , cookies can also help us improve your
experience and deliver more relevant content to you . Cookies may be created
directly by our sites for these purposes , or by third-party companies operating on
our behalf . Pixel Tags , also known as clear gifs , beacons , spotlight tags or
web bugs , are a method for passing information from the user 's computer to a
third party Web site . Used in conjunction with cookies , Ziff Davis may use pixel
tags to improve our understanding of site traffic , visitor behavior , and response
to promotional campaigns . Pixel tags are also used as a supplement to our server
logs and other methods of traffic and response measurement , and are sometimes used
in conjunction with small Javascript-based applications . We may also implement
pixel tags provided by other companies for the same purpose . We use clear gifs in
our HTML based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients .
You need not have cookies turned on to visit all of our sites , though cookies may
be required in order for you to participate in certain areas . If you choose to
become a member of certain Ziff Davis websites , you must have cookies enabled to
access any member related pages ( i.e. , Discussion Boards , Member Profile pages ,
Search for a Member ) . IP Addresses are a unique string of numbers that identifies
each computer attached to the Internet . We use IP Addresses to analyze trends ,
administer our web sites , track users ' movement , and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use . IP addresses that we collect are sometimes linked
to personally identifiable information . We use registration and email addresses
that you provide together with IP Addresses and other information we collect as
described in this policy , to understand our customer base and to market services
and products to our customers . Third Parties . To improve the quality of the some
of our services , we may supplement the information we collect with information
from third parties . For example , if you access My IGN ( my.ign.com ) or IGN
content through third party services ( such as Roku or Hulu ) through a third-party
connection or log-in , we may also collect your user ID and/or user name associated
with that third-party service , or any information you have made public in
connection with that service or which the third party shares with us . Statistical
Reports and Mailing Lists The aggregate statistics that describe our online
audience , which are often based on the information you provide when you
subscribe , register , or browse our sites , help us sell advertising and otherwise
publicize Ziff Davis and our brands . In addition , we make certain information
such as the name of our users , their mailing address , phone number , email
addresses , and - in certain circumstances - their employer 's name , company size
and other industry data available on a rental or other basis ( e.g. sale ) to third
party providers of goods and services . To learn how you can make choices about how
this information is used or shared , please visit the How You Can Change or Control
What is Collected section below . Email Deployment , Data Analysis E-Commerce and
Other Services We provide customer lists , email addresses and other information to
third party companies and contractors who provide us with specialized services ,
such as email message deployment , merge-purge ( identifying and removing duplicate
addresses ) , subscription fulfillment , and customer support and service ,
research , statistical analysis , data and website hosting and other data and
transaction processing . These companies work on our behalf and we do not provide
our lists or other data to them for their own , permanent use . Those service
providers will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to
deliver the service . They should also maintain the confidentiality of the
information and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose . Please note
that we engage third party service providers for the purpose of processing sales of
subscriptions , to fulfill your orders for product purchases , to honor your
request to be removed from promotional mailings , or other services . These service
providers have access to or are provided with certain personal information
( including credit card information ) in order to provide us with the applicable
service . Webcasts At times we produce and host sponsored webcasts for a variety of
companies ( " Sponsors " ) . Data collected during the registration process and the
actual event may be shared with those Sponsors and others , and is governed by our
policy and the third party 's privacy policy and may be used by us and the Sponsor
for follow-up purposes . Contests/Sweepstakes Data collected during the
registration for contests and sweepstakes is used by us and may be shared with
sponsors . Please read the contest rules carefully before you submit your data .
Co-Branded Sites and Services When you use a co-branded service ( a service
operated with a service or site partner of Ziff Davis ) , or register or otherwise
provide information on a co-branded site , you grant us permission to pass the
information collected back to that service or site partner . Use of your
information by such partners is subject to their privacy policies as well as ours .
White Papers/Other Sponsored Downloads Ziff Davis hosts product listings and offers
informational downloads for a variety of third party vendors . When registration is
required in order to receive or view the download , some or all data collected
during product registration and/or Ziff Davis web site registration may be shared
with the vendor ( and other third parties ) . Ecommerce When shopping on certain of
our sites or pages , users may need to provide personally identifiable information
necessary to fulfill an online order , including name , billing address , shipping
address , telephone number , email address , credit card number ( with expiration
date ) , and any of the above information needed to send a package to a gift

not be stored under their account . When placing an order , credit card information
may be either temporarily stored on a Ziff Davis server and then immediately
transferred to a secure server of a PCI compliant third party or will be
immediately entered onto a secure server of a PCI compliant third party . We
partner with a number of third parties to process and fulfill orders , send
transactional emails , and ensure delivery of downloads and packages . While these
third parties may have access to personal information in order to perform their
duties , they are not permitted to use it for other purposes . Online Ad Serving .
Ziff Davis and some of our advertisers use third-party
advertising service companies to serve advertisements when you visit our sites .
Often , these third-party advertising companies employ cookie , pixel tag and other
technologies to measure the effectiveness of Web and e-mail advertisement and to
create a record of interaction with our site content that they use in conjunction
with their advertising which appears on other sites , or for reporting web site
traffic , statistics , advertisement data and/or other activities on our sites . We
will also engage third party providers to assist with the segmentation of this data
. The specific providers we use are subject to change . As of the date of the
posting of this policy , some of the current providers include DoubleClick ,
Omniture SiteCatalyst , comScore , and Google Analytics ( for information about how
to opt out of tracking methods for these entities and others click here ) .
Personal Information . How we use personal information is described in the Section
What We Provide to Third Parties . Emails . We use email addresses to send offers
of services or products ( and as set forth in the Section What We Provide to Third
Parties ) . Any recipient will be able to unsubscribe from receiving these emails .
Other Information : Ad Serving and Ziff Davis . At times we display ads both on our
network of owned and operated web sites and on non-Ziff Davis web sites . When you
visit one of our web sites or view ads that we serve off of our network elsewhere
on the Internet , you may see multiple kinds of ads , such as text ads next to
search results and graphical ads shown on web pages . Sometimes these ads are based
on the content of the page on which they appear . Other times these ads are
generated by matching the ad to your interests as inferred from your browsing
activities collected online . Either way , Ziff Davis tries to show you relevant
ads , and to do so , we may use information we know or receive about you like your
gender , location or interests . Interest-based Ads : We use cookies , Javascript ,
pixel tags and other technology to collect information about your visit ( " Online
Data " ) to our sites and other third party partner websites that we do not own or
operate but with whom we have agreements . We analyze what pages you visit on our
sites and the third party sites , what products or services you view , and whether
you view or click on ads that are shown to you . We use this information to send
you interest based ads . All such data is also collected anonymously , and is
aggregated with other data we collect and/or similar data collected by partners to
create segments , groups of users and certain general interest categories or
segments that we have inferred based on ( a ) demographic or interest data , and a
general geographic location derived from your IP address , ( b ) the pages you view
and links you click when using our sites and services and those of our partners ,
and/or ( c ) the search terms you enter when using certain search services . We use
this information to get a more accurate picture of audience interests in order to
serve ads we believe are more relevant to your interests . We store page views ,
clicks and search terms used for ad personalization targeting separately from your
contact information or other data that directly identifies you ( such as your
name , e-mail address ) which we obtained as described above under Personal
Information and in some situations we combine the two sets of data . We will engage
third party providers to assist with the collection , storage and segmentation of
this Online Data ; and the providers are required to maintain the confidentiality
of this information . These efforts do not result in the collection of personally
identifiable information such as name or address ; and we do not intentionally
collect data that we consider to be sensitive such as health or medical information
. This data is not sold or transferred to any third party . Except as may be set
forth elsewhere in this policy , this Online Data is retained for not more than 180
days after which it shall expire except in certain situations when the same user
subsequently visits one of our sites or a partner 's site in which event the 180
day period will commence again . To allow other users to find you . In order to
locate My IGN Members that a user may already know in the physical world and/or
want to get to know in the online world , we allows users to search for members
using information the user already knows , such as username , full name , or gamer
profile , and identifies users matching that search information . Cookies . Most
web browsers automatically accept cookies but allow you to modify security settings
so you can approve or reject cookies on a case-by-case basis . You may stop or
restrict cookies on your computer or purge them from your browser by adjusting your
web browser preferences . If you would prefer that we not collect anonymous data
that may be used to help determine which advertisements to serve you , opt out by
clicking this icon AdChoices However , if you ' turn off ' , purge or disable

Advertising of the Digital Advertising Alliance ( for more information click here )
, and has Evidon Inc. 's assurance platform to comply with these Principles . As
part of this service , online ads that we place using behavioral data we collect

information that are stored by your web browser software on your computer 's hard

industry standard , and users will find them on most major web sites , pch.com may
place and store Internet cookies on a user 's hard drive . Cookies can save any of
the types of information noted above . Cookies enable us to recognize you and

be used in connection with advertisements on other sites , involves the use of
pixel tags that are not visible to the user of the site and consist of a few lines
of computer coding . Pixel tracking measures the effectiveness of these
advertisements and compiles aggregate and specific usage statistics . A " pixel tag
" is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of websites you may visit and is used
to track an individual user 's activity . We may access these pixel tags to
identify activity and interests that may allow us to better match our offers with
your interests . For example , if you visit our Web site from an advertisement on
another site , the pixel tag will allow the advertiser to track that their
advertisement brought you to the PCH site . If you visit our website and we link
you to another site we may also be able to determine that you were sent to and/or
transacted with a third party web site . This data is collected for use in our
marketing and research . Personal information about you is not collected by the
third party advertising company , nor is any tracking information generated from
the pixel tag allowed to be used by them for any other purpose other than to report
web site activity to us . We use local shared objects , also known as Flash cookies

identify individual users , to analyze trends , to administer the site , to track
users ' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our
user base as a whole . We do not link this automatically-collected data to personal
information . Some of our business partners ( e.g. , tracking utility company ) use
cookies on our site . We have no access to or control over these cookies . We use
mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our
Mobile Software on your phone . This software may record information such as how
often you use the application , the events that occur within the application ,
aggregated usage , performance data , and where the application was downloaded from
. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any
personal information you submit within the mobile application . Except as otherwise
noted in this policy , pch.com only discloses user information in aggregate form to
marketing partners . For example , we might tell a marketing partner how many users
visited pch.com over a period of time , but we will never tell them who it was that
saw or clicked on their offer , unless that user has given us permission to do so .
We share our users Android ID with application tracking companies so that we can
track whether a user has downloaded one of our Customer 's applications . We will
share our unique ID for the user with our customer 's so that we are able to
provide users with their prizes . pch.com believes that consumers should be able to
control the use of their data . We will not share personal information with
marketing partners if you follow the simple unsubscribe procedure of removing the
check mark located at the permission notice box appearing on the pch.com
registration and entry page . If an opt-out is not submitted , we will notify users
of exciting offers of interest from pch.com and our marketing partners . We may
also share your name , land address and e-mail address with marketing partners so
that they can send you offers directly for products and services that may be of
interest to you . The personal information our users provide to us may be combined
with other personal information ( such as demographic information and past purchase
information ) available from our records and other sources . We use a third party
to verify your address , in order to process your order prior to shipping . This
allows us and our marketing partners , with permission , to present our users with
offers and information geared towards their interests . We require each permission
based e-mail our partners send to include a description of a simple opt-out process
that will enable you to stop receiving promotional e-mail from them in the future .
We will only deal with marketing partners who offer products or services that we
believe may be of interest to our users . Nevertheless , pch.com is not and can not
be responsible for the activities or privacy policies of these third parties . We
may share our unsubscribe list with select marketing partners for the sole purpose
of insuring that individuals on this list do not receive electronic commercial mail
messages containing Publishers Clearing House advertisements that may be sent by
such partners . We do not rent , license , or sell personal data to third parties
unless permission is granted through user submission of the checked permission
notice box appearing at the registration and entry page of pch.com . In the event
of a merger , acquisition , or change of control of pch.com , customer data would
be considered a business asset and would be transferred . We will disclose
information we maintain when required to do so by law , for example , in response
to a court order or a subpoena . We may also disclose personal information as
required by law or to protect the safety and security of our users . You should
also know that when you order a magazine subscription from pch.com , we need to
provide your name and address to the magazine publisher so they can start your
service . Publishers may exchange or rent their subscriber names , typically to
third party companies that match reader interests . If you do not wish to receive
such offers , we suggest that you notify the publisher directly ( the contact
information is usually found in each magazine issue ) . We use other third parties
such as credit card processors and e-mail service providers to provide order
fulfillment and e-mail delivery services on our site . When you register on our
site , we will share your personal information as necessary for these third parties
to provide these services . These third parties
are prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose
including their own marketing purposes . When you register with pch.com we may
share your name and information with third parties who may contact you by mail with
relevant offers . If you wish to opt out of such exchanges you may click : here .
Targeted or Behavioral Advertising : Targeted advertising ( also known as
Behavioral Advertising ) uses information collected on an individual 's web
browsing behavior such as the pages they have visited or the searches they have
made . This information is then used to select which pch.com advertisement should
be displayed to a particular individual on websites other than pch.com . For
example , if you have shown a preference for cooking while visiting pch.com , you
may be served an advertisement from pch.com for cooking related products when you
visit a site other than pch.com . The information collected is only linked to an
anonymous cookie ID ( alphanumeric number ) ; it does not include any information
that could be linked back to a particular person , such as their name , address or
credit card number . The information used for targeted advertising either comes
from pch.com or through third party website publishers . If you would like to opt
out of targeted advertising from pch.com that occurs when visiting our third party
advertising publishers , please click here : Please note that this will opt you out
of targeted ads from pch.com and any other participating advertisers . If you opt
out , you will continue to receive online advertising from Publishers Clearing
House ; however , these ads may not be as relevant to you . Receiving email
messages from pch.com , our affiliates and partners is optional . As noted
earlier , the collection , use , and distribution of personal data helps us create
a more personalized , relevant , and intelligent web service for our users . While
some basic data is necessary to provide certain services , such as entry into the
sweepstakes and fulfillment of products and services ordered through pch.com ,
there are some cases where the submission of information is optional . We will not
contact you with e-mail offers or share personal information with marketing
partners if you follow the simple opt-out procedure of removing the check mark
located at the permission notice box appearing on the pch.com registration and
entry page . If you are already receiving pch.com emails and no longer wish to
receive such communications , simply follow the " unsubscribe " instructions that
appear in every pch.com e-mail , or contact us through our " Ask Us " page found in
our Info Center section or by writing directly to Christopher L. Irving , Consumer
& Privacy Affairs , pch.com , 382 Channel Drive , Port Washington , New York ,
11050 . If you have provided personal information directly to our third party
marketing partners and are receiving email communications directly from these third
parties pch.com can not , in most instances , unsubscribe users from these third
parties . If you wish to unsubscribe from one of our marketing partner 's e-mail
programs , please follow their unsubscribe procedures which will be found within
their e-mails or in their privacy policy . To the extent hyperlinks or banner
advertisements incorporating hyperlinks are utilized on this Site to access third
party sites , users should be aware that these third party web sites are not
controlled by pch.com and , therefore , are not subject to this privacy policy . We
recommend that users check the privacy policies of these individual sites to see
how their personal information will be utilized . Please note that our Web sites
utilize framing techniques to make it appear that the user is still on the site
when the user is actually on a third party Web site . For example , if you are on a
page that has the look and feel of www.pch.com , but the url listed in your browser
is a different url than www.pch.com , then know that the information is being
collected by this third party and their privacy policy governs the collection and
use of this information . Users can access the personal information they have
provided to pch.com for the purposes of reviewing and updating such information by
following instructions in the " Your Account " section of the Site . We have

we collect from our users . Moreover , password and credit card information you
submit to pch.com is always encrypted during transmission . Users should be aware
that e-mail is not encrypted and is not considered a secure means of transmitting

technology ( SSL ) . We will retain your information for as long as your account is

its online visitors and users of its products and services . Valve recognizes the
importance of protecting information collected from users and has adopted this
privacy policy to inform users about how Valve gathers , stores , and uses
information derived from their use of Valve products , services and online sites .
This policy is current as of its last revision date . However , please note that
this policy may be amended from time to time to reflect changes and additions to
the privacy policy . Please check back for the most current version before relying
on any of the provisions in this privacy policy . By using Valve 's online sites ,
products , and services , users agree that Valve may collect personally
identifiable information ( as defined below ) . Valve will not share personally
identifiable information with other parties except as described in this policy .
Valve may also collect aggregate information and individual information . "
Aggregate information " is information that describes the habits , usage patterns ,
and demographics of users as a group but does not describe or reveal the identity
of any particular user . " Individual information " is information about a user or
user 's machine that is presented in a form distinguishable from information
relating to other users but not in a form that personally identifies any user or
enables the recipient to communicate directly with any user . Valve may share
aggregate and individual information with other parties without restriction . "
Personally identifiable information " is information that can be used to uniquely
identify a user , such as name , address or credit card number . You may be asked
to provide personally identifiable information in connection with the use of Valve
's products , services and online sites . While Valve collects personally
identifiable information on a voluntary basis , for certain products and services
Valve 's collection of personally identifiable information may be a requirement for
access to the product or service or to process a user 's order . Personally
identifiable information is used internally by Valve to develop , deliver and
improve our products,content and services . In addition , Valve may allow third
parties performing services under contract with Valve , such as order or payment
processors or merchandise warehouse and fulfillment services , to access and use
personally identifiable information , but only to the extent necessary to provide
those services . Valve will not share personally identifying information with third
parties for marketing purposes . Valve may use personally identifying information
provided by users to send information about Valve , including news about product
updates , contests , events , and other promotional materials , but only if the
users agree to receive such communications . In some situations , personally
identifiable information that users input in connection with their use of Steam may
be available to other users of Steam . For example , during the creation of a Steam
account , Valve collects a user 's email address and username , and at the user 's
option , first and last name . Some of this information is searchable and available
to other users within Steam . Valve has no obligation to keep private personally
identifiable information that a user makes available to other users via Steam or

to Steam , Valve stores your user id and a combination of your IP address and time
of login as a cookie on your hard drive . This cookie allows you to move from page
to page without having to sign in again on each page . Similarly , if you enter

and allow access to Valve 's products , services and third party games .

connection and the Valve software installed on a user 's computer is uploaded to

reporting information manually submitted by users ( e.g. through Valve 's Bug
Reporter form ) is associated and stored with personally identifiable information .

player name and current player statistics ) is public information and may be
displayed to other users . Valve gives users the option to receive promotional
email communications from Valve . Users may opt out of these communications .

merger , acquisition , reorganization , bankruptcy , or other similar event , your
personal information may be transferred to Blizzard ' s successor or assign .

we are unable to do so and why . Blizzard allows you to control the way that we use
personal identifying information that we might obtain . At the time you provide
personal information , Blizzard may give you the option of declining any future
offers or information about new products , promotions , or services . In addition ,
many of the " mailings " Blizzard may send you , such as newsletters , have
procedures within them to cancel the receipt of any future mailings . Lastly , you
may be given the opportunity to " opt-out " of certain features or functionality
( e.g. Real ID ) . Under California law , our customers that are California
residents may request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal
information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes . As detailed
above , we do not share our customer 's personal information with unaffiliated
third parties for direct marketing purposes without their approval . If at any time

information . Our third-party tracking service uses cookies and clear gifs to track
non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate
. They capture usage and volume statistics to help improve our Web site . We have
no access or control of these third-party tracking utilities . We also use clear
gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by
recipients . This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications
and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns . For this reason , these types of
clear gifs are tied to personally identifiable information . An Internet protocol (
" IP " ) address is the unique number assigned to your server or Internet Service
Provider ( " ISP " ) . Blizzard may track such IP addresses for system
administration , to report aggregate information , site tracking , security
purposes , or to prevent our servers from being abused . If for any reason you are

share it , but we use reasonable efforts to obtain our affiliates ' and third
parties ' agreement to protect the confidentiality , security , and integrity of
any personal information we share with them or that we permit them to collect

others in these ways , they should not provide their personal information to us .

differently from information we receive in a non-business capacity . We may share
resumes or potential developer contact information submitted to us , for example ,
with other Sony companies or third parties , depending on the nature of the inquiry
. We take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality , security , and
integrity of the personal information collected from our website visitors .

available to the public and that are only accessible to authorized employees . We
also have security measures in place to protect the loss , misuse , and alteration
of the information under our control . Unfortunately , there is no such thing as

terms . Please do not use the Services if you do not agree to this Privacy Policy .
In this Privacy Policy ' non-personal data ' means data we may collect from you but
which does not identify you directly . This data may be ' aggregated ' with other
data to help us improve our Services and otherwise in accordance with our Privacy
Policy . We take special precautions respecting users under the age of 13 . If a
user chooses to register , they can input a date of birth , username and email
address to set up an account . The under-13 user 's account is limited to
participating in those aspects of the Services that are deemed to be appropriate
for users under 13 ; features of our Services that may involve the possibility of
posting personal information , such as comments , are automatically disabled .
Immediately upon registration , the under-13 user 's email address is turned into
an encrypted format , a " one way hash " , which we ca n't read and which is used
to authenticate the user login process . We do not permanently store the email
addresses of users under 13 in a recoverable format and , because we do not retain
the email addresses of under-13 users in a usable form after initial registration ,
we have no means of initiating contact with such users by email after
registration . The user name of registered users under 13 is not used as a means to
contact such users . We do not collect more personal data than is necessary to
respond to a question or one-off request from a user under 13 , to provide parental
notice or to obtain parental consent , nor do we distribute to third parties any
personal information collected from children known to be under 13 without parental
consent . Parents are invited to review their children 's information by contacting
us as described below . If you are 13 years of age or older and you choose to

operations of the Services , such as to prevent abuse of the Services or to provide

data from users of the Services , such as a user 's browser version , operating
system version , country , page loading time , type of device , number of visits ,
time using the Services , network , demographic estimates , flow-through the
website and/or Services or referral source , which may then be aggregated . We may
use non-personal data that we collect from you to improve the Services or to

longer than necessary . We may use information to ensure that users are in
compliance with our terms . By using the Services and agreeing to this Privacy
Policy , users over 13 years of age authorise us to use their information for our

( Mobile Applications ) . It also applies to information we collect about you
offline , such as in telephone calls or through email correspondence . By accessing
the Site and/or the Mobile Applications , you agree to and accept this Privacy
Policy . This privacy policy is effective as of July 1 , 2013 . In the future , our
Site or Mobile Application practices may change , and if appropriate , we will
revise this Privacy Policy to reflect the changes , and you agree that the
information we collect will be subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time
we collect that information . We 'll post the updated version here and may contact
you with notices concerning our Privacy Policy . In addition , we suggest that you
review this Privacy Policy periodically , as it may be updated from time to time .
Information You Provide on Site : You provide certain personally identifiable
information ( such as your name and email address ) to Kongregate when choosing to
participate in various activities on the Site such as chat , posting messages in
the games comment section or in our forums , sending feedback , entering contests ,
responding to surveys , or subscribing to newsletters or other mailing lists . Such
information , and additional information ( such as address and credit or debit card
information ) may be collected when uploading a game , or making a purchase . You
may choose to disclose information about yourself in our online chat rooms , forums
, game comments or in creating user " profiles " . Information that you disclose in
these areas is public information , and will be accessible to anyone who uses our
Site . However , you may choose to have your profile page be public or private . In
the case where you chose to make your profile page private , the information there
( including challenges won , " my friends " list , etc. ) will only be visible to
you . Other Site Information We Track : This Site uses passive tracking
technologies to log information such as IP address , browser type , pages visited ,
and Site usage ( for example : what pages are accessed , how often , referring/exit
pages and URLs ) . We may also employ " cookies " or similar technologies such as
web beacons , match scripts , or pixel tags that provide additional functionality
to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more accurately . You can set your

to Mobile Applications , and information we receive via your Mobile account may
also apply to your usage of the Site and your Site account . Information We Receive
Through Mobile Applications : If you play a Kongregate game on a mobile device
( such as your phone or tablet ) we can collect mobile device identifiers that can
include things like your MAC address and IP address . We may also collect
information such as device name and type , operating system , telephone number ,

information . We may only collect this information with your authorization and
according to the rules you have established within your device permissions . Mobile

updates , or other relevant information . You can manage these updates from the
options ' or settings ' page from within the Mobile Application or from your device
control panel that manages these notifications . Do Not Track : Do Not Track
( DNT ) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers , allowing
users to opt out of tracking by websites and online services . At the present
time , the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C ) has not yet established universal
standards for recognizable DNT signals , and , therefore , Kongregate does not
recognize DNT . We use the information we collect from the Site and Mobile
Applications to respond to your requests and provide customer service , to remit
revenue share payments , process credit card payments , let you know about new
games and other news from Kongregate , ask for your input and feedback on what we
are doing , provide personalized services and recommendations , to make certain
offers available that we believe may be of interest to you , and as may otherwise
be described in this Privacy Policy or at the time that we collect information from
you . We use both your personally identifiable information and certain non-
personally identifiable Site usage data to improve the quality and design of the
Site and Mobile Applications , to make certain offers and available that we believe
may be of interest to you,and to create new features , promotions , and services by
storing , tracking , and analyzing user preferences and trends . We may also
combine the information you submit to us with information we have collected from
you in other forums , such as through emails or offline , or with publicly
available information or information we obtain from third parties . When so
combined , we or our business partners may use the combined information to make
offers to you that we believe may be of interest to you . As part of our regular
business conduct , we may share information with companies or individuals providing
services or acting on our behalf , such as companies providing technological or
fulfillment services or acting as our marketing partners . In the event that there
is a change of corporate ownership , the new owners will of course be provided with
our files , including information you have submitted . We will provide information
in response to subpoenas , and we also will share information with government
officials , including law enforcement officials or court authorities , in order to
initiate or cooperate with any law enforcement or governmental investigation .
Unless we tell you first ( such as at the time we collect information from you ) ,
or unless it is part of a specific program or feature in which you have elected to
participate , we do not share personally identifiable information that we have
collected ( such as name or email address ) with other , third-party companies for
their own commercial or marketing purposes . From time to time we may include at
the Site or on Mobile Applications links to other websites as a service to you .
The third party sites are operated by companies that are outside of our control ,
and your activities at those sites will be governed by the policies and practices
of those third parties . We encourage you to review the privacy practices of these
third parties before disclosing any personally identifiable information , as we are
not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites . We sometimes work with
third parties to add features , advertisements , or offers to our Site or Mobile
Applications . These third parties may place cookies on your browser when you visit
certain pages , or collect cookies that they have previously placed , along with
the URL of the page you visited . We may have to pass these providers a non-
personally identifiable user number specific to your Mobile Application to properly
credit your account . Additionally , both the Site and Mobile Applications may
utilize third party tracking services to anonymously analyze your usage activity ,
which will be used to improve your Site or Mobile Application experience . We do
not control those third parties or their use of data . In some cases we may provide
tools for you to limit data sent to third parties . This privacy policy does not
cover those third parties ' use of data . To personalize the Site , and to simplify
the registration process , we give you the option to link your account with
Facebook . When you link your account , Facebook may share data about you with us ,
and we may share information about you with Facebook . In addition , Kongregate
users who are your friends on Facebook will be shown your Kongregate username if
you have both linked your Facebook accounts . For more detail on how this feature
works , please see our FAQ . We use standard and reasonable technological and
procedural measures to protect the information you provide . We urge you to protect
your password by not sharing it with anyone else , and to take measures to prevent
it from unauthorized access
or disclosure . For example , select number and letter combinations that would be
difficult for a third party ( or hacking program ) to determine , and do not write
down your password next to your computer . To learn more about how to protect
yourself online , we encourage you to visit the government 's website at
www.onguardonline.gov . The Site and Mobile Applications are designed for and
directed at people 18 years of age or older . We do not knowingly collect
information from children under 13 . If Kongregate learns that a child under the
age of 13 has submitted personally identifiable information online in contravention
of these measures , it will terminate access to the account immediately and will
take all reasonable measures to delete such information from its databases and to
not use such information for any purpose ( except where necessary to protect the
safety of the child or other as required or allowed by law ) . If you become aware
of any personal information we have collected from children under 13 , please
contact us at privacy @ kongregate.com . For additional tips on how to help
children stay safe on the Internet , we recommend that you visit the following
sites : www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens.html

//www.onguardonline.gov/features/feature-0002-featured-info-parents If you are
receiving Kongregate email advertisements and no longer wish to receive those email
messages , you may opt out at the time you receive the message by following the
instructions in that email . Please allow ten ( 10 ) days for your request to be
processed . If you wish to review and edit or delete information you have provided
to Kongregate , you may access your account information on the Site at any time by
clicking on your username at the top of the Site homepage . If you do not agree
with the privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy , it may be best to
limit your level of interaction with our Site or Mobile Applications , which could
include simply not providing us with personal information . While this will limit
the services that our Site and Mobile Applications are able to provide ( chat ,
friends lists , challenges , etc. ) , most of the games will remain playable . This
option may be best for those who do not wish to provide the mandatory information
required to set up an account . For questions or concerns regarding the use of
personal information you submit to us , please contact us at privacy @

Information Does EA Collect ? When you use EA online and mobile products and
services or you play our games on your PC or game system , we may collect certain
non-personally identifiable information for purposes including improving our
products and services , troubleshooting bugs , providing services to you ,
facilitating the provision of software updates , dynamically served content and
product support as well as communicating with you . The non-personal information
collected may include demographic information including gender , age , zip code ,
information about your computer , hardware , software , platform , game system ,
media , mobile device , including unique device IDs or other device identifiers ,
incident data , Internet Protocol ( IP ) address , network Media Access Control
( MAC ) address and connection . We also collect other non-personal information
such as username , user ID or persona , feature usage , game play statistics ,
scores and achievements , user rankings , time spent playing our games , and click
paths as well as other data that you may provide in surveys , via your account
preferences and online profiles such as friends lists or purchases , for instance .
We may also receive information from third parties in connection with market and
demographic studies and/or other data that we use to supplement personal
information provided directly by you . B . How Does EA Collect Non-Personal
Information ? EA collects non-personal information along with personal information
when you actively provide it in the context of various online and mobile activities
including online and mobile purchases , game registration and marketing surveys ,
for instance . In addition , we and other third parties use cookies and other
technologies to passively collect non-personal demographic information ,
personalize your experience on our sites and monitor advertisements and other
activities as described below . We may also derive from the information collected
other facts , such as determining the applicable tax rate based on your IP
address . 1 . Cookies Cookies are small files applied to your Internet browser to
track movements within websites . We may link cookie information to personal
information . Cookies link to information regarding what items you have selected
for purchase at our store , pages
you have viewed , or games you have played . This information is used to keep
track of your shopping cart and make sure you do n't see the same ad repeatedly ,
for example . Also , we use cookies to deliver content specific to your interest
and to monitor website or game usage . We and third parties collect information on
what games are played , how much time is spent playing the games and which ads or
links are clicked . Some of our sites use an outside ad company to display ads .
These ads contain cookies . Cookies received with banner ads are applied by our ad
companies , and EA does not have access to this information . Most browsers are
automatically set to accept cookies whenever you visit a website . You can disable
cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent . However some
areas of our sites will not function properly if you do so . You can set your web
browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer , or limit the
type of cookies you allow . For more information concerning how to disable your
cookies , please visit help.ea.com . We and other third parties may also use flash
cookies , also known as " local shared objects , " on our sites that employ Flash
technology . Flash cookies are small files similar to browser cookies and are used
to remember the site 's settings to personalize the look and feel of the site .
Like normal cookies , Flash cookies are represented as small files on your computer
. One method of preventing Flash cookies from being placed is to adjust your
preferences in the Macromedia Website Privacy Settings Panel at
www.macromedia.com . If you disable cookies , you may lose some of the features and
functionality of playing our games , as cookies are necessary to track and enhance
your game activities . Please note that companies delivering advertisements in our
games or on our websites may also use cookies or other technologies , and those
practices are subject to their own policies . Please note that this privacy policy
covers the use of cookies by EA only and does not cover the use of cookies by any
advertisers . 2 . Clear GIFs And Tracking Pixels Clear GIFs ( a.k.a. web bugs ,
beacons or tags ) are small graphic images placed on a web page , web-based
document , or in an email message . Clear GIFs are invisible to the user because
they are typically very small ( only 1-by-1 pixel ) and the same color as the
background of the web page , document or email message . We do not use clear GIFs
to collect personal information about you . However , we may use clear GIFs to
capture statistical usage information for our web pages , features or other
elements on a web page . We correlate this information to a user to personalize
user experience and for statistical analysis of user experiences on our web pages .
We and third parties may also use tracking pixels , which allow us to advertise
more efficiently by excluding our current users from certain promotional messages
or identifying the source of a new installation . 3 . Internet Log Files EA and
other third parties also may maintain log files which contain IP addresses . An IP
address is a numeric address that may be assigned to your computer by your Internet
Service Provider . In general , we use log files to monitor traffic on our websites
, to troubleshoot technical problems and authenticate users ' entitlements to our
products . In the event of user abuse of our websites , however , we may block
certain IP addresses or game system IDs provided by our licensed hardware
manufacturers . If available , IP addresses and game system IDs may be used in

method for resolution of disputes between us if they arise . As discussed below ,
if we can not resolve our disputes informally and you are awarded a sum at
arbitration greater than EA 's last settlement offer to you ( if any ) , EA will
pay you 150 % of your arbitration award , up to $ 5000 over and above your
arbitration award . PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY . IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS . Most
customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by logging into
our customer support interface with your Origin Account at help.ea.com . In the
unlikely event that EA can not resolve a concern to your satisfaction ( or if EA
can not resolve a concern it has with you after attempting to do so informally ) ,
then you and EA agree to be bound by the following procedure to resolve any and all
disputes between us . This provision applies to all consumers to the fullest extent
allowable by law , but expressly excludes residents of Quebec , Russia ,
Switzerland , the Member States of the European Union , and the Republic of Korea .
By accepting these terms , you and EA expressly waive the right to a trial by jury
or to participate in a class action . This agreement is intended to be interpreted
broadly . This Section covers any and all disputes between us ( " Disputes " ) ,
including without limitation : - claims arising out of or relating to any aspect
of the relationship between us , whether based in contract , tort , statute , fraud
, misrepresentation or any other legal theory ; - claims that arose before this
Agreement or any prior agreement ( including , but not limited to , claims relating
to advertising ) ; - claims that are currently the subject of purported class
action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class ; and - claims
that may arise after the termination of this Agreement . The only disputes that are

or concerning the validity of , any of your or EA 's ( or any of EA 's licensors
' ) intellectual property rights ; - a claim related to , or arising from ,
allegations of theft , piracy , or unauthorized use ; - In addition , nothing in
this Section shall prevent either party from initiating a small claims court action
. References to " EA , " " you , " and " us " include our respective subsidiaries ,
affiliates , agents , employees , predecessors in interest , successors , and
assigns , as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of
services or Software under this or prior Agreements between us . This arbitration
provision evidences a transaction in interstate commerce , and thus the Federal
Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision . This
arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Service . A.
Informal Negotiations/Notice of Dispute . You and EA agree to first attempt to
negotiate any Dispute informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration
. Such informal negotiations commence upon receipt of written notice from one
person to the other ( " Notice of Dispute " ) . Notices of Dispute must : ( a )
include the full name and contact information of the complaining party ; ( b )
describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute ; and ( c ) set forth the

Redwood Shores Parkway , Redwood City CA 94065 , ATTENTION : Legal Department . B.
Binding Arbitration . If you and EA are unable to resolve a Dispute through
informal negotiations within 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Dispute ,
either you or EA may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by
binding arbitration . Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and
binding on the other . YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS PROVISION , YOU AND EA ARE
FOREGOING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL . The arbitration shall
be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ( AAA ) and , where appropriate , the AAA 's Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ( AAA Consumer Rules ) , both of which are
available at the AAA website www.adr.org . Your arbitration fees and your share of
arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and , where
appropriate , limited by the AAA Consumer Rules . If such costs are determined by
the arbitrator to be excessive , or if you send EA a notice to the Notice of
Dispute address above indicating that you are unable to pay the fees required to
initiate an arbitration , then EA will promptly pay all arbitration fees and
expenses . The arbitration may be conducted in person , through the submission of
documents , by phone or online . The arbitrator will make a decision in writing ,
and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party . The
arbitrator must follow applicable law , and any award may be challenged if the
arbitrator fails to do so . You and EA may litigate in court to compel
arbitration , to stay proceeding pending arbitration , or to confirm , modify ,
vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator . C. Restrictions .
You and EA agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between EA
and you individually . To the full extent permitted by law , ( 1 ) no arbitration
shall be joined with any other ; ( 2 ) there is no right or authority for any
Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action-basis or to utilize class action
procedures ; and ( 3 ) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought
in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other
persons . YOU AND EA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN
YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY , AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY
PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING . Further , unless both you and EA
agree otherwise , the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person 's claims
, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class
proceeding . If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable , then the
entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void . D. Location . If
you are a resident of the United States , arbitration will take place at any
reasonable location convenient for you . For residents outside the United States ,
arbitration shall be initiated in the County of San Mateo , State of California ,
United States of America , and you and EA agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of that court , in order to compel arbitration , to stay proceedings
pending arbitration , or to confirm , modify , vacate or enter judgment on the
award entered by the arbitrator . E. Recovery and Attorneys ' Fees . If the
arbitrator rules in your favor on the merits of any claim you bring against EA and
issues you an award that is greater in monetary value than EA 's last written
settlement offer made before written submissions are made to the arbitrator , then
EA will
: - Pay you 150 % of your arbitration award , up to $ 5,000 over and above your
arbitration award ; and - Pay your attorney , if any , the amount of attorneys '
fees , and reimburse any expenses ( including expert witness fees and costs ) that
you or your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating , preparing , and
pursuing your claim in arbitration ( " the attorney premium " ) . The arbitrator
may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees ,
expenses , and the alternative payment and the attorney premium at any time during
the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the
arbitrator 's ruling on the merits . The right to attorneys ' fees and expenses
discussed above supplements any right to attorneys ' fees and expenses you may have
under applicable law , although you may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys
' fees or costs . EA waives any right it may have to seek an award of attorneys '
fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration between us . F. Limitation on
Arbitrator 's Authority . The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief
only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent
necessary to provide relief warranted by that party 's individual claim . G.
Changes to This Provision . Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary , we agree that if EA makes any future change to this arbitration
provision ( other than a change to the Notice Address ) , you may reject any such
change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the Arbitration
Notice Address provided above . By rejecting any future change , you are agreeing

address . 1 . Cookies Cookies are small files applied to your Internet browser to
track movements within websites . We may link cookie information to personal
information . Cookies link to information regarding what items you have
selected for purchase at our store , pages you have viewed , or games you have

deliver content specific to your interest and to monitor website or game usage . We
and third parties collect information on what games are played , how much time is
spent playing the games and which ads or links are clicked . Some of our sites use
an outside ad company to display ads . These ads contain cookies . Cookies received
with banner ads are applied by our ad companies , and EA does not have access to
this information . Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies whenever
you visit a website . You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when
cookies are being sent . However some areas of our sites will not function properly
if you do so . You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place

clear GIFs to capture statistical usage information for our web pages , features or

disputes between us . This provision applies to all consumers to the fullest extent
allowable by law , but expressly excludes residents of Quebec , Russia ,

affiliates , agents , employees , predecessors in interest , successors , and
assigns , as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of
services or Software under this or prior Agreements between us . This arbitration
provision evidences a transaction in interstate commerce , and thus the Federal
Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision . This
arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Service . A.
Informal Negotiations/Notice of Dispute . You and EA agree to first attempt to
negotiate any Dispute informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration
. Such informal negotiations commence upon receipt of written notice from one
person to the other ( " Notice of Dispute " ) . Notices of Dispute must : ( a )
include the full name and contact information of the complaining party ; ( b )

either you or EA may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by
binding arbitration . Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and
binding on the other . YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS PROVISION , YOU AND EA ARE
FOREGOING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL . The arbitration shall
be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ( AAA ) and , where appropriate , the AAA 's Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ( AAA Consumer Rules ) , both of which are
available at the AAA website www.adr.org . Your arbitration fees and your share of
arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and , where
appropriate , limited by the AAA Consumer Rules . If such costs are determined by
the arbitrator to be excessive , or if you send EA a notice to the Notice of
Dispute address above indicating that you are unable to pay the fees required to
initiate an arbitration , then EA will promptly pay all arbitration fees and
expenses . The arbitration may be conducted in person , through the submission of
documents , by phone or online . The arbitrator will make a decision in writing ,
and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party . The
arbitrator must follow applicable law , and any award may be challenged if the
arbitrator fails to do so . You and EA may litigate in court to compel
arbitration , to stay proceeding pending arbitration , or to confirm , modify ,
vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator . C. Restrictions .
You and EA agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between EA
and you individually . To the full extent permitted by law , ( 1 ) no arbitration
shall be joined with any other ; ( 2 ) there is no right or authority for any
Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action-basis or to utilize class action
procedures ; and ( 3 ) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought
in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other
persons . YOU AND EA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN
YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY , AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY
PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING . Further , unless both you and EA
agree otherwise , the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person 's claims
, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class
proceeding . If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable , then the
entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void . D. Location . If
you are a resident of the United States , arbitration will take place at any
reasonable location convenient for you . For residents outside the United States ,
arbitration shall be initiated in the County of San Mateo , State of California ,
United States of America , and you and EA agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of that court , in order to compel arbitration , to stay proceedings
pending arbitration , or to confirm , modify , vacate or enter judgment on the
award entered by the arbitrator . E. Recovery and Attorneys ' Fees . If the
arbitrator rules in your favor on the merits of any claim you bring against EA and
issues you an award that is greater in monetary value than EA 's last written
settlement offer made before written submissions
are made to the arbitrator , then EA will : - Pay you 150 % of your arbitration
award , up to $ 5,000 over and above your arbitration award ; and - Pay your
attorney , if any , the amount of attorneys ' fees , and reimburse any expenses
( including expert witness fees and costs ) that you or your attorney reasonably
accrues for investigating , preparing , and pursuing your claim in arbitration ( "
the attorney premium " ) . The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as
to the payment and reimbursement of fees , expenses , and the alternative payment
and the attorney premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from
either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator 's ruling on the merits . The
right to attorneys ' fees and expenses discussed above supplements any right to
attorneys ' fees and expenses you may have under applicable law , although you may
not recover duplicative awards of attorneys ' fees or costs . EA waives any right
it may have to seek an award of attorneys ' fees and expenses in connection with
any arbitration between us . F. Limitation on Arbitrator 's Authority . The
arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the
individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief
warranted by that party 's individual claim . G. Changes to This Provision .
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary , we agree that if
EA makes any future change to this arbitration provision ( other than a change to
the Notice Address ) , you may reject any such change by sending us written notice
within 30 days of the change to the Arbitration Notice Address provided above . By

between us in accordance with the language of this provision .

permitted by applicable law , we also may disclose personally identifiable
information in response to a law enforcement agencies or other public agencies
( including schools or children services ) request or if we feel that such
disclosure may prevent the instigation of a crime , facilitate an investigation

against liability . We will not use or transfer personally identifiable information
in ways that are materially different from the ones described above without also
providing parental notification of such practices and obtaining consent for any
materially different uses . Parents have the right to consent to the site 's use of
their child 's personal information without having to consent to the disclosure of

receives an email notification of the account creation and an invitation to review
chat and privacy settings for the account . The parent may also provide their
consent to allow their child to receive targeted ads on our site at this time . A
parent receiving a verification email has two options . First , the parent can
choose not to respond ; in this case , the child remains with all default privacy
settings and whitelisted chat options . Second , the parent can choose to click the
link in the email and review the settings ; in this case , the child may be opted-
in to free ( but filtered ) text communications , including free-text chat and
personal messaging ( site limited ) , forum posts , and site commentary . A child
can send an email request to their parent to change the settings at any time .
Requests for changes to an account can be made by contacting info @ roblox.com .
Parents can close a child 's account by contacting ROBLOX customer service at info
@ roblox.com . This hides the account from all other ROBLOX users and outside
parties . The account data is not deleted , but retained internally for three
purposes . Billing information and transaction histories are retained to resolve
subsequent billing disputes and inquiries . Public domain content is retained for
use by the community e.g. a virtual shirt sold by the child to another user is kept
in the system because the recipient now owns a copy of that article . Finally ,
user account history is retained to support subsequent customer service inquiries .
All retained data for a closed account is private and visible only to employees of
ROBLOX . We may store the date of birth of your child and graduate a player to have
more Web site access once they turn 13 . We will notify the parent once their child
has reached 13 and may prompt the child to then provide us with their email address
the next time they sign into their account . If your child opts-in to receive our
monthly newsletter we will send you a notice ( to the email address your child
provides for you ) . We will only collect your child 's email address for the sole

aggregate information " , which is data we collect about the use of the Services or
about a group or category of services or users , from which individual identities
or other personal information has been removed . This Policy in no way restricts or
limits our collection and use of aggregate information . Personal information also
does not include a Device Identifier ( as defined below ) that is not connected to
personal information . A2 . We collect several types of personal information about
our guests in a number of ways when you visit or use the Services : Information You
Provide to Us or Active Collection . We collect certain information from you when
you voluntarily provide it , such as if you : Create a Ubi.com account ; Apply for
a beta tester position ; Subscribe to one of our newsletters ; Email-a-friend ;
Participate in our community forums or chat rooms ; Shop at one of our online
stores or purchase virtual items within a Ubisoft 's game ; Receive customer or
technical support ; Participate in contests , events , or promotions ; Register
product online for warranty protection ; and Polls , surveys , or questionnaires .
Typically , the personal information collected includes : Name ; email address ;
telephone number ; shipping and billing address ; date of birth , and for those
purchasing products through the Services . Additionally , we may also collect
demographic information such as your age , gender , country and zip code of
residence , recent game purchases , and game ownership and preferences . This
demographic information may be associated with your personal information . If this
demographic information is connected with personal information , we will treat the
demographic information as personal information . Furthermore , Ubisoft may collect
information regarding the user 's behavior , and his/her use of Ubisoft 's demos
and in-game data such as achievements , rankings , time played to better adapt our
products and Services to users ' interests and for a better quality of our services
For some features of the Service , you may be able to submit information about
other people . For instance , if you wish to send a coupon or advertisement to a
friend you may submit some of your friend 's personal information . Ubisoft will
use any such information that we collect from you about another person to carry out
your request . Passive Collection When you use the Services , some information is
also automatically collected . Ubisoft as well as any third party advertisers
and/or service provides , may use a variety of technologies that automatically or
passively collect information about how the Services are accessed and used ( "
Usage Information " ) . For example , when you come to use or visit the Services ,
we collect your IP address or other unique identifier ( " Device Identifier " ) for
the computer , mobile device , technology or other device ( collectively , " Device
" ) you use to access the Services , your operating system , the browser type , the
address of the referring web site and your activity on the Site or your console
ID . An Device Identifier is often associated with the portal through which you
enter the Internet , like your ISP ( Internet service provider ) , your company ,
or your university . We also can use the Device Identifier to determine the general
physical location of your Device and understand from what regions on the world the
visitors to the Services come . Standing alone , your Device Identifier is not
personally identifiable . At times , we also use Device Identifiers to collect
information regarding the frequency with which our guests visit various parts of
our websites . If we combine this information with personally identifiable
information , we treat this information as personal information . Cookies We may
also automatically collect certain information and monitor user activity through
the use of " cookies " or web beacons ( also known as web bugs , pixel tags ,
tracking pixels , or clear gif 's or by monitoring a user 's Device Identifier ) on
the Services . If we link cookies to any personally identifying information , we
will treat this information as personal information . The web beacons we use do not
collect any personal information . If you wish to block , erase , or be warned of
cookies on the Site , please refer to your browser manufacturer to learn about
these functions . However , if you choose to remove or reject cookies , this could
affect certain features on the Services . Information provided by cookies , web
beacons , Device Identifier 's or other devices may be used , among other things to
analyze data , to determine the popularity of certain content , to deliver
advertising targeted to your interests , to make recommendations to you and to
better understand the usage and visitation of the Services and the effectiveness of
Ads . Finally , once you 've clicked on an advertisement and have left our websites
, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the
advertiser to see how your personal information will be handled on their website .
Third parties may also use cookies , web beacons , or other devices to collect
information when you use the Services . Ubisoft does not control any cookies or
other data collection tools that may be placed on the Services by a third party ,
and this Policy does not cover the use of such cookies and/or other data collection
tools by any third party . We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the
website and applications you use to find out more about the information that may be
collected by third parties and the choices you have regarding the collection , use
and sharing of such information . Advertisements We may partner with third party
online advertising companies to deliver advertisements on our Services . Because
your internet browser or mobile device must request these advertising banners from
ad networks ' servers , these companies can send their own cookies to your cookie
file , just as if you had requested a web page from the Service . Please note that
if an advertiser on a third party ad network asks us to show an advertisement to a
certain audience ( for example , males ages 18-34 ) or audience segment ( for
example , men ages 18-34 who have viewed video game related items ) and you respond
to that ad , the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description
of the audience they are trying to reach . However , we would only authorize third
party ad servers to employ anonymous cookies for ad delivery and anonymous
targeting . We would not knowingly permit a third party ad server to collect
Personal Information about you . If you want to prevent a third party ad server
and/or third party service provider from sending and reading cookies on your
computer or mobile device , you must visit each third party ad server network 's
website individually and opt out ( if they offer this capability ) . Information
Received From
Third Parties We also may obtain certain non-personal information about you from
third parties . This information may include demographic , geographic ,
psychographic and other usage information that does not personally identify an
individual user and may be associated with anonymous device ID and/or a console
identification number . You may also choose to participate in a third party

similar application or feature on a third party website ) through which you allow
us to collect and share ( or the third party to collect and share ) information
about you , including personal information . If you access the Services through a
third-party connection or log-in , we may also collect your user ID and/or username
associated with that third-party service , and any information you have made public
in connection with that service or with the third party shares with partner
services . In addition , we may receive information about you if other users of a
third party web site give us access to their providers and you are one of their "
connections " or information about you is otherwise accessible through your "
connections " webpage , profile page , or similar page on a social networking or
other third party website or interactive service . The collection and use of this
information is pursuant to such third party 's information collection practices ,
which are typically outlined in a privacy policy like this one , provided on the
third party 's website or in an application . This Policy does not apply to
information received from third parties , and Ubisoft is not responsible for the
privacy and security practices and policies of such third parties . We also may
supplement the information we collect about you through the Services with our
information from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you , to
tailor our content to you and to offer you opportunities to purchase products or
services that we believe may be of interest to you . We may combine the information
we receive from these third parties with information we collect through the
Services . In those cases , we will apply this Policy to any personal information
received , unless we have disclosed otherwise . A3 . We do n't sell or rent your
personal information to third parties without your consent . We do n't require
personal information to access our website . However , if you prefer not to
disclose personal information , you will not be able to enjoy certain features of
our website . We use personal information we collect through the Site for the

connection therewith ; To request feedback and to otherwise contact you about your
account or your use of the Services . For instance , if you create a Ubi.com and
your account is later cancelled ( e.g. , due to lack of activity ) , we may
subsequently contact you to let you know that we 've reactivated your account for a
short period of time . We may also use your personal information for other purposes
such as " Operational Uses. " For example , we may use your information to send
you administrative communications either about your account with us or about
features of our websites , including any future changes to this Privacy Policy ; To
communicate with you and respond to your emails , submissions , questions ,
inquiries , comments , requests , and complaints and to provide customer service .

such information to carry out their work for us From time to time , we may share
your personal information with technical partners which help Ubisoft with the

the practices described in this Policy ; Upon your request or with your consent ,

characteristics ( such as your name ) that make the information personally
identifiable to you ( de-personalizing your information ) . This can include a
Device Identifier , usage information and/or information that is not connected to
personal information . Given the nature of this information , no restrictions apply

parties , nor are we responsible for any additional information you provide

residents who have an established business relationship with Ubisoft . If we

companies for their marketing and promotional purposes , please send an e-mail to

share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes .
You opt out request will be processed within thirty ( 30 ) days of the date of
which we receive it . A5 . Ubisoft is very sensitive to privacy issues . We are
especially careful in any communications with children under the age of 13 ( "
Child " or " Children " ) . Ubisoft restricts access to certain Services on age
grounds and , in certain jurisdictions , for certain Services and functions , asks
for parent approval when a Child wishes to register for the Services . When we
intend to collect personal information from a Child , we take additional steps to
protect children 's privacy , including : Notifying parents about our information
practices with regard to Children , including the types of personal information we
may collect from Children , the uses to which we may put that information , and
whether and with whom we may share that information In accordance with applicable
law , obtaining consent from parents for the collection of personal information
from their Children , or for sending information about our products and services
directly to their Children Limiting our collection of personal information from
Children to no more than is reasonably necessary to participate in an online
activity Giving parents access or the ability to request access to personal
information we have collected from their Children and the ability to request that
the personal information be changed or deleted More specifically , when a Child
under the age of 13 registers , ( s ) he must supply the e-mail address of a parent
or legal guardian who will be contacted by Ubisoft to ask him/her to confirm ,
refuse to modify his/her Minor 's registration . Ubisoft reserves the right to
limit the period during which a child under the age of 13 may play pending
confirmation and activation by his/her parent or guardian . Ubisoft reserves the
right to ask for written proof of parental consent for any user or potential user
of the services suspected to be a Child . Parental consent applies exclusively to
the specific service for which it has been granted . Certain Services are
specifically designed for Children and enable Children under the age of 13 to
create their own free accounts for which Ubisoft collects their username , password
, date of birth ( or age ) , country , and parent or guardian 's e-mail address .
Such services sometimes offer the possibility of paying for a subscription or
certain game functions which enable Children to participate in more activies on the
Services by making a payment . The subscription services may also allow parents or
guardians to manage their Child 's account and create their own player accounts .
Certain services enable Children to create personalized avatars which they can use
in numerous activies in the services , including mini-games and virtual worlds .
Children may also use other functions of the Services such as " Recommend to a
friend " to invite a friend to find out about the servies . The " Recommend to a
friend " functions enable Children to send their friends a single message inviting
them to visit the related service . Ubisoft will collect the first name and e-mail
address of your Child ( or , failing that , the e-mail address of the parent or
guardian ) and the e-mail address of his/her friend for the sole purpose of sending
a single message . This information is neither stored nor used for any other
purpose and we do not reveal your child 's e-mail address to the recipient .
Parents may delete their Child 's Account or change their Child 's privacy settings
at any time by creating a parental Account or by sending an e-mail to the
administrator of the Privacy Policy , who is identified below . In all cases , use
of the Services by Children must take place under the responsibility of their
parents or legal guardians and any use of the Services is assumed to have been
validated by them . AS FAR AS IS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LEGISLATION , UBISOFT
DECLINES ANY RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING ANY ACTIVITIES WHICH MAY BE CONDUCTED BY
CHILDREN WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THEIR PARENTS OR LEGAL GUARDIANS . IF YOU ARE A
PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN AND YOU GIVE YOUR PERMISSION FOR YOUR CHILD TO REGISTER
FOR ONE OR OTHER OF THE SERVICES , YOU THEREBY AGREE TO THE TERMS RELATING TO USE
OF THE SERVICES BY YOUR CHILD . A6 . The services may contain links to other
websites . For instance , purchases of Virtual Currency or Virtual Items for
Ubisoft Services may be transacted on a third party processors site . Any personal
information you provide on linked pages or applications is provided directly to
that third party and is subject to that third party 's privacy policy . This
Privacy Policy does not apply to such linked sites , and we are not responsible for
the content or privacy and security practices and policies of these websites or any
other sites that are linked to or from the Services . We encourage you to learn
about their privacy and security practices and policies before providing them with
personal information . A7 . The security and confidentiality of your personal
information is extremely important to us . We have implemented technical ,
administrative , and physical security measures to protect your personal
information from unauthorized access and improper use . From time to time , we
review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods .
However , please understand that , despite our best efforts , no security measure
is perfect or impenetrable . To protect the confidentiality of personal information
maintained in your account , you must keep your password confidential and not
disclose it to any other person . You are responsible for all uses of the Services
by any person using your password . Please advise us immediately if you believe
your password has been misused . DESPITE OUR EFFORTS TO KEEP YOUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION SECURE , NO COMPANY CAN GUARANTY THE SECURITY AND PRIVACY OF ITS
SERVICES , INFORMATION AND OTHER DATA . ACCORDINGLY , UBISOFT DISCLAIMS AND DOES
NOT REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN YOUR PRIVACY OR THE
SECURITY OF ITS DATA IN REGARD TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION . OUR PRIVACY POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES ARE " AS IS " AND UBISOFT MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR MERCHANTABILITY . A8 . You can access and update the
contact information you gave us during registration ( that is , your e-mail address
or any other information that would directly enable us to contact you ) , by
logging in and clicking the Edit Profile section , or contacting us at privacy @
ubisoft.com . In your email , please include the name of the website you used to
register so we can verify your request . If you do not wish to receive promotional
e-mails , texts , or other communications from Ubisoft , please follow one of the
two options below : 1 . You must opt-out to receive promotional e-mails , texts ,
or other communications . When providing your personal information , simply uncheck
the box that asks whether you would like to receive such communications , and we
will not send you any promotional information via these communications methods .
2 . When you receive an e-mail , text , or other communications from us , it will
contain a link or other instruction that allows you to stop the delivery of such
messages from us . If you decide to use this opt-out method , you will no longer
receive special offers , valuable coupons , new product introductions or e-
newsletters from Ubisoft ; however , you will continue to receive non-promotional
communications from us , such as order confirmations . A9 . If you have questions
or wish to send us comments about this Privacy Policy , please send an e-mail with
your questions or comments to privacy @ ubisoft.com or write us : Ubisoft ,

activate this feature , it is not always clear whether users intend for these
signals to be transmitted , or whether they even are aware of them . There
currently is disagreement , including among participants in the leading Internet
standards-setting organization , concerning what , if anything , websites should do
when they receive such signals . We currently do not take action in response to
these signals , but , if and when a final standard is established and accepted , we
may reassess how to respond to these signals . Instead , as set forth above ,

such electronic postcards or email messages . Visitors must only provide email
addresses of people who they know would be happy to receive such electronic

newsletter database . The link to remove the child 's information will expire
approximately 48 hours from the time it is sent , but at any time after receiving
this notification email , the child 's parent/guardian may request that we stop
sending the child the newsletter ( s ) by following the " unsubscribe "
instructions found at the end of any of the newsletter emails . Parents/guardians
may at any time review any personally identifiable information collected online

Communication channels The games and websites operated by TRAVIAN GAMES offer
various opportunities to communicate with TRAVIAN GAMES or other players . TRAVIAN
GAMES automatically uses filtering systems that prohibit any communications that
violate 9 of the Travian Game GmbH General Terms and Conditions . In particular ,
TRAVIAN GAMES automatically uses filtering systems to block any mass mailings and
messages that are of an offensive , obscene or racist nature , that glorify
violence or any other objectionable statements or messages that advertise products
or services . Moreover , TRAVIAN GAMES records the use of the communication
channels for a short period to analyze and fix any technical errors , to guarantee
system security and integrity , to combat abusive and/or unauthorized use and to
generate user statistics on a non-personal basis . The reports that are generated
contain the date and time of the message , the sender and recipient , the message
text and the volume of data sent . No employees or agents of TRAVIAN GAMES will

recipient reports a message ) , TRAVIAN GAMES reserves the right to investigate the
relevant game account and the messages sent from that account and to take further
action where appropriate . d ) Investigating manipulations of game operations
TRAVIAN GAMES will collect and store records which reflect how the websites and
games operated by TRAVIAN GAMES are used , e.g. in-game user activities and in-game
communication between users or communication within game-related services . This
includes the monitoring of playing patterns and checks for possible manipulations
of game operations which can then serve to detect any abusive or improper
activities of users . TRAVIAN GAMES uses special programs to detect violations of
the rules of the games , e.g. programs that can detect the use of unauthorized
scripts . In order to do that it can store IP addresses , login data of the last
fourteen days and any other data the browser transfers as header information .
Furthermore , TRAVIAN GAMES employs individuals who are specifically trained to do
this and who may be employees or freelancers working for TRAVIAN GAMES . TRAVIAN
GAMES will also select suitable individuals from its ranks of players who have
expressed an interest in performing such tasks voluntarily . The employees ,
freelancers and volunteers ( specifically trained personnel ) will have access to
the same data as the special programs used by TRAVIAN GAMES to carry out their
duties . The specifically trained employees will also be assigned to identify ,
detect and penalize any infringements against the current General Terms and
Conditions and game rules , e.g. the illegal use of several game accounts or
insults to other players . The specifically trained employees act exclusively in
accordance with the stipulations and instructions of TRAVIAN GAMES and are tasked
in particular with ensuring compliance with prevailing data protection
regulations . In terms of processing personal data , TRAVIAN GAMES remains the
liable party . If TRAVIAN GAMES ascertains that you are acting in breach of your
contractual obligations , e.g. by using unauthorized scripts , TRAVIAN GAMES
expressly reserves the right to merge your IP address with other data which TRAVIAN
GAMES has stored on you to advise you of such infringement . TRAVIAN GAMES may then
take further action against the respective user to restore normal game operations .

your revocation to the email address indicated below . No other costs shall be
incurred for a revocation apart from the costs of transmitting such revocation .

selected . TRAVIAN GAMES offers a range of anonymous payment methods . TRAVIAN
GAMES will forward the data required to process the payment to the service

Payment GmbH in Munich ( Germany ) to provide such payment services . Collaboration
with third parties also involves payment processing via external service providers
( PayPal , credit card companies , mobile network operators , etc. ) . These third
parties are legally bound to manage your personal data in a confidential and secure
manner in accordance with prevailing legislation and may only use your personal
data to fulfill their contractual obligations . When you initiate a payment during
the game , a cookie will be set that contains a randomly generated ID number . This
cookie will be required to return you to the game once the payment process has been
completed . TRAVIAN GAMES employs persons responsible for ensuring the correct
implementation of the payment processing is adhered to and who can therefore access
any information required to do so . Such employees act exclusively in accordance
with the stipulations and instructions of TRAVIAN GAMES and are tasked in
particular with ensuring compliance with prevailing data protection regulations .
Such employees use anonymized payment data to detect and prevent any misuse of the
payment processes . In the event of a violation , the payment process will be
canceled . In addition , TRAVIAN GAMES reserves the right to use the available data
to implement further measures and to potentially merge it with other personal
data . TRAVIAN GAMES is entitled to provide data to third parties to whom
receivables due to TRAVIAN GAMES from the user have been assigned or to third
parties who are responsible for collecting payment to the extent required to
fulfill the collection of the receivables or the collection of the charges . In
certain cases TRAVIAN GAMES will forward your personal data to the following third
parties : Payment providers ( see above ) IT service providers ( e.g. email
providers , host providers ) Database services ( e.g. analysis of advertising
campaigns ) Associated companies ( e.g. payment data to TG Payment GmbH ) State
agencies ( e.g. investigating authorities ) Such third parties are legally bound to
manage your personal data in a confidential and secure manner in accordance with
prevailing legislation and can only access your personal data if such data is
required to fulfill their contract , respectively there is a legal basis for such
access . Moreover , TRAVIAN GAMES will only allow third parties to contact you for
advertising purposes with your express , prior consent , in which case TRAVIAN
GAMES will forward your email address to such third parties . a ) Cookies Cookies
are small files that enable TRAVIAN GAMES to record certain information about your
device , for example to identify you when you revisit a website or to generate
statistics . Most cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser or
exit any websites or games operated by TRAVIAN GAMES . However , some cookies may
be stored for a longer period . The above sections describe in more detail how
TRAVIAN GAMES uses cookies . b ) Web beacons TRAVIAN GAMES uses web beacons ( aka
clear GIFs or web bugs , etc. ) . A web beacon is a link placed on a website and
which points to a small graphic image . When the website is then called up with the
embedded link , the small graphic image will automatically be requested . TRAVIAN
GAMES uses web beacons to optimize websites and advertising campaigns by counting
or recording the number of visits to a particular website , if and when an email
was opened , etc . The above sections describe in more detail how TRAVIAN GAMES
uses web beacons . c ) Social plug-ins TRAVIAN GAMES uses social plug-ins on its
websites and games such as Facebook 's Like button or Facebook Connect and Google
's Google +1 button . A shared feature of social plug-ins is that when you access a
TRAVIAN GAMES website that uses a social plug-in , the same data will be forwarded
to the social plug-in provider that would be forwarded if you accessed the provider
's website directly . So for example when you call up a provider website that has
Facebook 's Like button embedded , Facebook will receive your IP address , the
browser version and screen resolution and the operating system of the device you
have used to access the site and the URL of the website containing the Like
button . This applies even if you have used none of the services offered by such
providers . If the plug-in has been provided by Facebook or Google , the
abovementioned data will be transferred to the USA . Additional information will be
forwarded if you are logged in to one of these services and/or are using the social
plug-in while you are accessing the website . Please consult your relevant provider
regarding what data will be forwarded in this event . d ) Google Analytics TRAVIAN
GAMES uses the web analysis tool Google Analytics for its websites , games and game
homepages . Google Analytics uses cookies to enable us to analyze your visit to the
games and websites operated by TRAVIAN GAMES . To do this , Google Analytics
collects data using page views , i.e. the technical features of the device used to
visit the pages and your activities on the websites and in the games operated by
TRAVIAN GAMES . Google Analytics then analyses this data in the scope of its
contractual duties for TRAVIAN GAMES to compile reports to include information
regarding from which URL the website or TRAVIAN GAMES game was accessed , from
which approximate geographical location a website or TRAVIAN GAMES game was visited
, how long the user stayed on the website or in the TRAVIAN GAMES game and an
outline of the user 's activities during the visit . TRAVIAN GAMES has configured
the Google Analytics tool such that the last octet of your IP address will be
deleted before it is saved within Europe . You can disable the use of cookies in
your browser settings , but bear in mind that this may also restrict the use of any
TRAVIAN GAMES games or websites . Alternately , you can download and install the
relevant plug-in for your browser via this link : ( https :
//tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout ?hl=de ) and the Google Analytics JavaScript
code will be instructed to send no information on your visits to TRAVIAN GAMES
games and websites to Google Analytics . e ) Kontagent TRAVIAN GAMES uses the web
analysis tool Kontagent for its games . For this , code fragments are used in the
source code of the game or the mobile apps that are then activated when you carry
out a particular action specified by TRAVIAN GAMES ( e.g. registration , activation
, login , account deletion , purchase of Credits , etc. ) . Once activated , the
following data will be sent to the Kontagent servers located in the USA : name of
the game or website , country version of the game , a randomly generated and
anonymized ID number for your account , an ID number defined for the specified
action , description of the specified action , time stamp , browser session ID and

following data will also be transferred : network status ( e.g. 3G , Wi-Fi ) ,
operating system ( without the version number ) and whether the device is a
smartphone or tablet . Kontagent then analyzes this data in the scope of its
contractual duties for TRAVIAN GAMES to compile reports to ascertain how a game or
mobile app is used . In addition , Kontagent uses the transferred data in an
anonymized and aggregated form to TRAVIAN GAMES and additional clients of Kontagent
to make general statements regarding user behavior . Besides this use in an
anonymized and aggregated form , Kontagent saves and uses the data transferred from
TRAVIAN GAMES only in the scope of its contractual duties and as instructed by
TRAVIAN GAMES . You can object to this data collection and storage at any time with
effect for the future . Please send your revocation to the email address indicated
below . No other costs shall be incurred for a revocation apart from the costs of
transmitting such revocation . f ) Adeven TRAVIAN GAMES uses the external analysis
and tracking tool Adeven in its games . In this process , code fragments are
inserted into the source text of the mobile app and then activated when a
particular action or event defined by TRAVIAN GAMES ( e.g. installing an app ,
performing a specific action , purchasing credits , etc. ) is carried out . Once
these events are activated the following data is sent to the Adeven GmbH servers in
Germany : game name , country version of the game , a randomly generated and
anonymized ID number for your account , a defined ID number for the specific action
, description of the action , time stamp , browser session ID , http header , MAC
or IP address , network status ( e.g. 3G , Wi-Fi ) , OS type ( omitting the version

the scope of its contractual duties to TRAVIAN GAMES to compile reports for TRAVIAN
GAMES to make general statements regarding user behavior . Adeven uses the data
transferred from TRAVIAN GAMES only in the scope of its contractual
duties and as instructed by TRAVIAN GAMES . You may object to this data collection

information or any other emails , all game information or other emails sent to you
include the option to unsubscribe from any further game information or emails . No
other costs shall be incurred for a revocation apart from the costs of transmitting
such revocation . You may amend your personal data at any time ( e.g. to update or
correct such data ) or delete your personal data in its entirety . Please note that
TRAVIAN GAMES will not be able to comply with your deletion request if such request
conflicts with any obligations to preserve records or with any legitimate interests

Mechanisms . Some web browsers may transmit " do-not-track " signals to the
websites with which the browser communicates . Because of differences in how web
browsers incorporate and activate this feature , it is not always clear whether
users intend for these signals to be transmitted , or whether they even are aware
of them . There currently is disagreement , including among participants in the
leading Internet standards-setting organization , concerning what , if anything ,
websites should do when they receive such signals . We currently do not take action
in response to these signals , but , if and when a final standard is established
and accepted , we may reassess how to respond to these signals . Instead , as
described above , please see the link to the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online

and ( iii ) . GameTrailers may provide users and viewers with the opportunity to
register for special Promotions , services , news , programming and information
delivered via text messaging and other wireless devices such as mobile phones and ,
in the event we do so , users are required to provide their consent to receive such
information from GameTrailers , either by registering on the Site or via their
wireless device . Such services and promotional opportunities are provided by the
Parent Companies and/or Affiliates for GameTrailers . The Information requested as
part of the online registration process may include a user 's telephone number or a
wireless email address , but only if specifically requested , and the carrier 's
name . Additional Information may be requested for specific Promotions , such as a
user 's preferences regarding goods or services , choices of music or artists , or
other similar survey information . Depending on the Promotion , we may also collect
an Internet email address or other Information and , depending on the Information
collected , the user may also be required to confirm his or her agreement to this
Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use Agreement . We caution that most wireless
transmissions are not secured and there is a greater risk of an unknown third party
's interception of messages or a user 's Personal Information when using a wireless
communications device . Users that register for GameTrailers ' wireless marketing
services acknowledge , understand and agree that they will be charged by the user
's wireless carrier for all messages sent to the user from GameTrailers . Standard
messaging rates will apply , unless noted otherwise . Under no circumstances will
the Site , GameTrailers , its Parent Companies or Affiliates be responsible for any
wireless email or text messaging charges incurred by a user or by a person
that has access to a user 's wireless device , telephone number , or email address
. a . Registration . To the extent we provide wireless marketing services , there
are two registration methods provided for GameTrailers ' wireless marketing
services . Standard rate Promotions will be subject to either the " single opt-in "
or the " double-opt-in " ( Site/SMS ) method , at the discretion of GameTrailers
depending on the type of Promotion . Premium rate services will require the "
double opt-in " ( Site/SMS or SMS/SMS ) method . i . Single Opt-in Method : In
response to print , radio , television , Internet , or other promotional messages ,
users will be directed to send a specific word or code via a text message to a
designated telephone number to register for the service promoted . The user 's
voluntary submission of the designated word or code to GameTrailers will mean that
the user has freely and affirmatively granted permission to GameTrailers to send
text messages to him or her . GameTrailers will thank the user for his or her
registration by sending a " Thank you " message . The user may terminate the
service at any time by using the unsubscribe command in any text message from
GameTrailers or by sending a text message to GameTrailers that says " STOP " , "
END " , " CANCEL " , " REMOVE " , " UNSUBSCRIBE " or " QUIT " . ii . Double Opt-in
( Site/SMS ) Method : In response to print , radio , television , Internet , or
other promotional messages , users will be directed to this Site to start the
registration process . The user must affirmatively consent to GameTrailers '
sending of wireless messages to his or her designated wireless device by submitting
a telephone number ( or wireless email address , only if requested by
GameTrailers ) and by clicking the consent statement on the Site 's registration
page . The user must also agree to the Site 's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use
Agreement before the online registration process is completed . GameTrailers will
then send a " Confirmation " message to the user 's designated wireless device and
will request that the user confirm that he or she has agreed to receive messages
from GameTrailers to that particular telephone number ( or wireless domain name
when appropriate ) . The user must respond to the " Confirmation " message with a
text message that states " YES " or " Y " that will indicate the user 's acceptance
of GameTrailers ' wireless marketing service . Until the user responds to the "
Confirmation " message , the user is not registered for the specific wireless
marketing service subject to the Promotion . A user may respond to the "
Confirmation " message at any time provided that GameTrailers may choose to
terminate offering wireless marketing service at any time and the user 's response
to the " Confirmation " is only valid if the response is received while
GameTrailers continues to offer the specific wireless marketing service . iii .
Double Opt-in ( SMS/SMS ) Method : In response to print , radio , television ,
Internet , or other promotional messages , users will be directed to send a
specific word or code via a text message to a designated telephone number to
register for the service promoted . GameTrailers will then send a " Confirmation "
message to the user 's designated wireless device and will request that the user
confirm that he or she has agreed to receive messages from GameTrailers to that
particular telephone number ( or wireless domain name when appropriate ) . The user
must respond to the " Confirmation " message with a text message that states " YES
" or " Y " that will indicate the user 's acceptance of GameTrailers ' wireless
marketing service . Until the user responds to the " Confirmation " message , the
user is not registered for the specific wireless marketing service subject to the
Promotion . A user may respond to the " Confirmation " message at any time provided
that GameTrailers may choose to terminate offering wireless marketing service at
any time and the user 's response to the " Confirmation " is only valid if the
response is received while GameTrailers continues to offer the specific wireless
marketing service . b . Termination of Wireless Services by User . Regardless of
which one of the above opt-in methods was used to register , users may revoke their
consent to receive messages from GameTrailers by the following procedure : A user
may cancel one or more services via his or her wireless device at any time by using
the unsubscribe mechanism provided by GameTrailers at the time the message is
sent , or by sending a text message that says " STOP " , " END " , " CANCEL " , "
REMOVE " , " UNSUBSCRIBE " or " QUIT " . GameTrailers will terminate the user 's
registration for the most recent wireless service sent to the user . Any of these
words followed by the word " ALL " in the user 's termination request will cancel
all of the user 's registered wireless services with GameTrailers . If the user
unsubscribes from one or all of GameTrailers service ( s ) via his or her wireless
device , the service ( s ) will be terminated immediately and will cancel the user
's previous opt-in . c . Termination of Wireless Services by GameTrailers . A user
understands , acknowledges and agrees that GameTrailers may , in its sole
discretion and without liability to any user , terminate its offer of any specific
wireless marketing service or all wireless marketing services at any time without
advance notice . GameTrailers may provide notice of terminations or changes in
services on this Site . d . Use of Information . GameTrailers will not use a

Demographic Information with the Personal Information we collect directly from you
on the Services , we will treat the combined data as Personal Information under
this Privacy Policy . Information We Collect as You Access and Use the Services We
and our thirdparty service providers may use a variety of technologies that
passively collect certain nonpersonal information whenever you use the Services ( "
Usage Information " ) via a device or browser used to interact with our Services
( any , a " Device " ) . This Usage Information may include the type or browser
and/or platform that you are using , the location that referred you to our Services
, the areas within our Services that you visit and your activities there , your
Device location , your Device characteristics and certain Device data , and the
time of day you access our Services , among other information . We may use Usage

otherwise improving our Services
 or our activities in connection with them . In addition , we may collect your IP
address or other unique identifier , or assign one to your Device ( each a " Device
Identifier " ) , so that our computers can identify the Device . We may access and
use Device Identifiers that have already been associated with your Device , and may
modify such identifiers to create a new identifier or associate a wholly new
identifier with you or your Device . Usage Information may be nonidentifying or may
be associated with you . Neither Usage Information nor a Device Identifier is
treated by us as Personal Information unless we combine it with Personal
Information , in which case we will treat such combined data as Personal
Information under this SEA Privacy Policy . Some of our Services may collect and
transmit precise , realtime information about the location of your Device . For
mobile games , you are made aware of this at the time you first open the Services
with this functionality . Unless it is needed for operation or monetization of the
Services , the Services may give you the option to turn location tracking on or off
or otherwise manage location services . You can always terminate our location
tracking by uninstalling the Services . We may use various now , and later ,
developed technologies to collect Device Identifiers , Usage Information and
Demographic Information about you ( " Tracking Technologies " ) . A few of the
methods that may be used to collect such data include , without limitation , the
following ( and subsequent technology and methods later developed ) : Cookies . A
cookie is a data file placed on a Device when it is used to visit the Services ( "
Cookies " ) . Cookies may be used for many purposes described in our SEA Cookie
Policy , including , without limitation , remembering you and your preferences and
tracking your visits to and activities on the Services . Some features of the
Services may not function properly if you choose to disable Cookies , and some
types of Flash and HTML5 Cookies may not be disabled using browsers . In some
instances , especially with respect to mobile , we may require you to uninstall /
not use the Services rather than have a poor experience from disabling Cookies .
Embedded Scripts . An embedded script is programming code that is designed to
collect information about your interactions with the Services , such as the links
you click on . The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our web
server or a thirdparty service provider , is active only while you are connected to
the Services , and is deactivated or deleted thereafter . Web Beacons . Small
graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons ( also known as "
1x1 GIFs " or " clear GIFs " ) may be included in our Services ' pages and messages
. Web beacons may be invisible to you , but any electronic image or other web
programming code inserted into a page or email can act as a web beacon . Web
beacons or similar technologies may be used for a number of purposes , including ,
without limitation , to count visitors to the Services , to monitor how users
navigate the Services , to count how many emails that were sent were actually
opened , or to count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed .
ETag , or entity tag . A feature of the cache in browsers , an ETag is an opaque
identifier assigned by a web server to a specific version of a resource found at a
URL . If the resource content at that URL ever changes , a new and different ETag
is assigned . Used in this manner , ETags are a form of Device Identifier . ETag
tracking may generate unique tracking values even where the consumer blocks HTTP ,
Flash , and HTML5 cookies . Third parties may use Tracking Technologies with our
Services . We may not control those third-party Tracking Technologies and in such
event , we are not responsible for them . However , you consent to potentially
encountering third-party Tracking Technologies in connection with the use of our
Services , and accept that our representations under this SEA Privacy Policy do not
apply to the Tracking Technologies or practices of such third parties . This
applies even if they share the collected data with us , except that if we combine
that data with Personal Information we have collected on the Services , we will
treat it as Personal Information under this SEA Privacy Policy . For more
information on advertising and related Tracking Technologies , click here Certain
third parties that associate Tracking Devices with our Services have given us
notice of their privacy policies , some of which include the ability to exercise
certain opt-out elections and other choices . A list of these is available here .
Please note that optingout may require you to uninstall or otherwise stop using the
Services . We do not represent the completeness or accuracy of the information they
provide or their compliance with their representations . Information Third Parties
Provide About You We may , from time to time , supplement the information we
collect directly from you on our Services with outside records from third parties
for various purposes , including to enhance our ability to serve you , to tailor
content and ads to you , and to offer you opportunities that may be of interest to

objects , usually a graphic image such as a transparent one pixel-by-one pixel GIF
( Graphics Interchange Format , one of the two most common file formats for images
on the Web ) , that are placed on a Web page or in an e-mail message to monitor
user behavior . The GIF tells us the IP address of the computer that fetched our
page , the URL of the page the GIF is on , the time the page was viewed , the type
of browser used , and it can also identify a previously set cookie value . This
anonymous information is returned by the clear GIF to Wizards and we use this
information to accurately count visitors across our web sites and understand how
they navigate and use our network of web sites . Wizards does not combine
information gathered through clear GIFs with your personal information . Wizards
uses " cookies " to enhance your experience at our Sites . Cookies are pieces of

address ( an IP address is the string of numbers that identifies each sender or
receiver of information that is sent across the Internet ) , such as the time and
duration of your visits , how you navigated through our content and where you
exited a particular site . Wizards ' web sites collect IP addresses for the
purposes of system administration , to report aggregate information to our
advertisers , and to audit the use of our web sites . When visitors request pages
on one of our web sites
, our servers log the visitors ' IP addresses . We do not normally link IP
addresses to anything personally identifiable , which means that a user 's session
will be logged , but the user remains anonymous to us . We can and will use IP
addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance
with our community rules Code of Conduct or posted Legal Notice , or to protect our
services , web sites , customers , or others . Back to top Other information
passively collected by Wizards is in the form of logs -- files that record web site
activity and gather statistics about web users ' browsing habits . These entries
are generated anonymously , and help Wizards determine ( among other things ) how
many and how often users have visited our web sites , which pages they 've
visited , and other similar data . We also use the log file entries for our
internal marketing and demographic studies , so we can constantly improve the
online services we provide you . Back to top To provide relevant information not

personal information from users over 13 and under 18 ( " teenager " ) . When a web
site user in this age category submits personal information , Wizards may request a
parent or guardian 's e-mail address to notify the parent or guardian of the
teenager 's activity . Personal information collected from these visitors is
subject to the policies set forth above .. Back to top Children Under 13
Collection and Use of Children 's Personal Information Wizards may collect and
store personal information about children under 13 ( " children " or " child " ) if
it is submitted by way of our registration form and with the parent 's or legal
guardian 's verifiable consent . To determine who is younger than 13 years old and
whether parental consent is required , we ask all users who wish to register to
submit their date of birth . Those users that indicate they are under 13 years of
age are directed to a Parental Consent Form . The Parental Consent Form is
available for viewing here , and it must be signed and returned to Wizards by mail
or fax , before we will collect information from users who have indicated they are
under 13 . If given verifiable permission from a parent or legal guardian , Wizards
may collect and store the following types of personal information about a child
under 13 : name , e-mail address , mailing address , parent 's or legal guardian 's
name , and parent 's or legal guardian 's email address . Wizards may also collect
demographic information about a child such as the child 's date of birth , gender ,
and other preferences ; and , combine such information with the child 's personal
information . Wizards will only collect this information if it is voluntarily
submitted to us by the child or parent/ legal guardian and provided with the parent
's or legal guardian 's signed permission . We do not gather personal information
about a child through the use of passive collection mechanisms such as cookies .
For more information on how we use cookies and other information collection tools ,
please see our section on cookies ( provided above ) . The information that a child
provides on his/her registration form may be used to : ( a ) allow the child to
participate in activities on our web sites ( e.g. , contests ) ; and , ( b ) allow
us to send the child promotional materials , including information about new
products , contests , features and enhancements , special offers , and other events
of interest . Wizards may share kids ' personal information with outside entities
hired to assist with internal website support operations ( e.g. , online product
fulfillment , e-mail services , or technical support ) . These entities will not
use kids ' personal information for any other purpose , and have agreed to maintain
confidentiality , surveys , security , and integrity of all the personal
information they obtain from us . We may also use the information for our internal
marketing and demographic studies , so that we can constantly improve the products
and services we provide our visitors and to better meet their needs . Please note
that we are prohibited from conditioning a child 's participation in an activity -
like contests - on
the child 's disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary
to participate in the activity . To read about the steps Wizards takes to protect
the confidentiality , security , and integrity of children 's personal
information , please see our section on " Safeguarding your personal information "
( above ) . In some instances , certain portions of our web sites ( e.g. ,
electronic postcards ) will allow children under 13 to submit personal information
such as their e-mail addresses without first obtaining their parents ' or legal
guardians ' consent . Such portions of our web sites operate activities or provide
services in a way that does not require prior parental consent under the law .
Other areas of our web sites will facilitate a child 's participation in our
Community features such as forums , wikis , and blogs , as well as creation of a
profile . Your child 's participation may result in public disclosure of the
personal information he or she posts through these features . We will take all
reasonable measures to delete any personal information of a child posted through
our Community features if and when such information is discovered . Back to top
