Play With Matches LLC Privacy Policy

We at Play With Matches LLC ("we" or "Play With Matches") have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your personal information and informing you about how we handle it. This privacy policy only applies to transactions and activities in which you engage, and data gathered, on the Play With Matches Website (collectively, the "Website") but does not apply to any other site or offline point of contact between Play With Matches, or any other company, and consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may modify it from time to time. Each time you visit the Website or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.

Information Collected by Us

In order to operate the Website, we may collect "personal information" (i.e. information that could be used to contact you directly (without using the Website) such as full name, postal address, phone number or email address), "financial information" (i.e. credit card numbers or passwords) or "demographic information" (i.e. information that you submit, or that we collect, that is neither personal information nor financial information; this may include, but is not limited to, zip code, postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, browsing history information, searching history information, registration history information, and the content of communications between you and other members over the Website), subject to the rest of this paragraph. We ask that you do not enter personal information or financial information into your “Profile” (for example, don't use your address or password as your username, or include your name or address in your written communication). We also ask that you do not share financial information with any other User of the Website and that you use good judgment in choosing which users receive your personal and demographic information.  Any sharing of this information is done at your own risk.

Information Collected by Others

On the Website, we place links to other websites operated by other parties. Some of these other websites contain our brand names and trademarks and other intellectual property that we own; others do not. When you click on these links and visit these other websites, regardless of whether or not they contain our brand names, trademarks and other intellectual property, you need to be aware that we do not control these other websites or these other websites' business practices, and that this privacy policy does not apply to these other websites. Consequently, the operators of these other websites may collect different kinds of information about you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways than we would if it were collected on the Website. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible for their actions.

IP Address

A user's IP address is used by most e-commerce websites to collect demographic data and improve service. We use your IP address and other information after and during each visit and translate this information into a resource that we can use to identify and correct problems with our website and better understand our users, as well as continually update and expand our offerings.

Cookies & Web Beacons

We also use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your login information, and if you choose, to save other personal information so you do not have to reenter it each time you visit the Website. Third party advertisers on the Website may also place or read cookies on your browser. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas on the Website.

"Web beacons" or clear .gifs are small pieces of code placed on a web page to monitor the behavior and collect data about the visitors viewing a web page. For example, web beacons can be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page. We may use web beacons on this site from time to time for this and other purposes.

Use of Personal Information

We use your email address and your other personal information to help us efficiently operate the Website, to contact you in regards to your transactions and other activities on the Website (including, but not limited to, confirmation emails or important news that could affect your relationship with Play With Matches), and to forward messages to you from other Play With Matches users. These types of communications are known as "Operational Communications." In some cases, Operational Communications may also contain commercial messages, such as banner ads and special offers.

We also use personal information to send you newsletters, information, offers and other promotional materials for Play With Matches's or third parties' goods or services. We attempt to send you offers that are of value to you, such as discounts, exclusive offers or special event information. By registering an account on the Website, you are opting in to receive occasional promotional emails from Play With Matches.

During registration you will have the option of also allowing us to share your contact information with our affiliated companies that we believe may have offers that are of value to you. You can refuse this service by “opting out” on the registration.

To operate the Website, including processing your transactions and supporting your activities on the Website, we may share your personal information with our agents, representatives, contractors and service providers so they can provide us with support services. We require these entities not to use your information for any other purpose.

Sharing Personal Information

Your personal information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy. We may also disclose personal information when we determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, to cooperate with law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of Play With Matches or other users of the Website. We also may disclose your personal information to our subsidiary and parent companies and businesses, and other affiliated legal entities and businesses with whom we are under common corporate control. Whenever personal information is disclosed under this paragraph, we may also disclose your demographic information along with it, on a non-anonymous basis. All of our parent, subsidiary and affiliated legal entities and businesses that receive your personal information, financial information, or non-anonymous demographic information from us will comply with the terms of this privacy policy with respect to their use and disclosure of such information.

Use of Public & Demographic Information

We may review all demographic information. We may use demographic information to tailor the Website and communications to your interests. We may also share demographic information with advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers your identity). One of the reasons we may do this is to increase the likelihood that our advertisers' goods and services will appeal to Play With Matches's users, so that we may target specific ads at specific demographic groups. Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is anonymous (i.e., we do not tell advertisers which particular Play With Matches users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of this privacy policy. When you respond to an advertisement, however, we ask you to remember that if that ad is targeted to a demographic group and you decide to give the advertiser your personal information, then the advertiser may be able to identify you as being a member of that demographic group. Please also be aware that we may disclose your demographic information on a non-anonymous basis as described above in the paragraph titled "Sharing Personal Information." Also, to read further details about how we may use your public information, see our Terms of Use.

Our Security Precautions

The Website has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Our secure server software (SSL) is the industry standard. Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computer networks which may be located outside of the state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction in which you reside, and the country or jurisdiction in which these computer networks are located may not have privacy laws as protective as the laws in your country or jurisdiction. We, however, promise not to transfer your information to Raccoon City (for fear of zombie attack) or other virtual cities, worlds, or kingdoms without prior permission from you.

Updates to Privacy Policy

As stated in the first paragraph of this Privacy Policy, we reserve the right to change our privacy policy and practices at any time.  If we decide to change it in a manner that impacts our use of personally identifiable information, we will notify active users by way of an email and will post a notice for 30 days on the Website. At the end of the 30 days the changes will become effective. If you do not agree with the changes, you will need to cancel your account prior to the end of the 30 day period.

Access and Update Personal & Public Information

We give you the opportunity to modify personal information or demographic information you have provided to us. Please be aware that it may take several hours for the changes you make to take effect on the Website. We thank you for your patience. Please note that changing or deleting your information through the Website, will only change or delete the data in our database for purposes of future activities on the Website and for managing future communications from Play With Matches. These changes and deletions will not change or delete emails or information that we may have already forwarded to other users or credit card companies or any other third parties, all as provided above in this privacy policy.
