Your privacy is very important to us. At Games, we follow a few fundamental principles:
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Games collects non-personally-identifying information, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose of collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how visitors use our website. From time to time, we may release this information in aggregate, for example, by publishing a report on website usage trends.
We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments. We disclose logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances as personally-identifying information, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to blog administrators where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Games choose to interact with us in ways that require gathering personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information we collect depend on the interaction. For instance, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a username and email address. For those who wish to receive email updates, we collect their emails. We collect only the necessary information to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction. Visitors can refuse to supply personally-identifying information, though this may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
We do not rent or sell personally-identifying information to anyone. Games discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the property or rights of Games, third parties, or the public. If you are a registered user and have supplied your email, we may send occasional emails to inform you about new features, solicit feedback, or keep you updated. We primarily use our blogs to communicate such updates and aim to keep emails minimal. If you send us a request (e.g., via support email), we reserve the right to publish it to help clarify or respond to your request or to support other users. We take all necessary measures to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of personal information.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time they return. We use cookies to help track visitors, their usage of the site, and their access preferences. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies, with the drawback that some features of the website may not function properly without cookies.
External Links
Other Internet sites linked from our website or emails may have privacy provisions that differ from ours. To protect your privacy, we recommend reviewing the privacy statements of those linked sites.
Ads
Ads appearing on our websites may be delivered by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time an ad is sent to you, compiling information about you or others using your computer. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Games, but not by advertisers.
Comments
Comments and other content submitted to the Akismet anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to improve the service and prevent future false positives.
Children
We recognize the importance of protecting children’s privacy. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 16. Our services are not intended for children. If you are under 16, do not provide any information on our website.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
While most changes are likely to be minor, Games may update its Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion. We encourage visitors to check this page frequently for any changes. Continued use of the site after any changes will constitute acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
