How We Collect Information
This Website collects information that
falls into one of two categories -- personally identifiable information
and aggregated information. Personally identifiable information is information
that can be used to identify you. Aggregated information is information
that is not associated with a specific user, such as the number of people
who visit the Website from various states.
We collect personally identifiable
information whenever you voluntarily submit it to the Website. Examples
of this type information include when you enter purchase order, or send
us feedback. You always have the option of choosing not to reveal this
personally identifiable information to us, although certain services may
be unavailable if you do not. In the event of a complaint, we may also
receive and collect personally identifiable information about you from
other parties in our Website or from other users or third parties who
may communicate information to us about you in relation to that complaint.
In addition, we collect and store statistics and other information about
the online activities of our visitors on an aggregated (collective) basis.
For example, we track the number of people who view each page, the order
in which pages are viewed, and other information to learn which features
are the most popular and to refine our design and marketing efforts.
Information We Gather or Track
Information on general usage and
any optional personal details you provide to us will be used to provide
you with enhanced features. The following are details of the information
we collect:
- collects data so that we may display personalized
content to our visitors. Additionally, usage information may be analyzed
so that we can judge our system's performance or execute your customized
features.
- Your computer reaches us via a particular IP, (Internet
Protocol), address. This can tell us things like what part of
the world you're connecting from. Or what service provider you are using.
- Your browser offers so-called "cookies"
which -- if you allow their use -- store small amounts of data on your
computer about your visit to any of our sites. Cookies assist us in
tracking which of our features you like best. And when you re-visit
our site, cookies can enable us to customize our content according to
your preferences. However, cookies tell us nothing about you personally
unless you specifically give us additional information.
- Some of the banner ads displayed in our site are provided by outside
companies. These ads may contain cookies. While we use cookies in other
parts of our Web site, cookies received with banner ads are collected
by our advertisers and we do not have access to this information. Cookies
in and of themselves do not contain any personally identifiable information
about you.
How We Use and Disclose Your Information
Our websites use your personal
information to operate and deliver the services you have requested. The
Company's websites also use your personally identifiable information to
inform you of other products or services available from the Company and
its affiliates when requested through its mailing list. The Company may
also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of
current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
GameGoody.com does not sell, rent or lease its client lists to third parties.
The Company may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external
business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest
to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information
(e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third
party. In addition, the Company may share data with trusted partners to
help us perform statistical analysis. All such third parties are prohibited
from using your personal information except to provide these services
to the Company, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality
of your information.
Cookies and Other Tracking Methods
We use cookies or IP addresses
for a number of uses, including to help us to tailor a Web site or a marketing
message to better match your needs and interests, and allowing us to better
understand how users use our site. You are always free to instruct your
web browser to decline our cookies if it has the capability to do so,
but some parts of our site may not work properly if you do.
Limits on Our Abilities
We cannot fully ensure that your private
communications and other personally identifiable information will not
be disclosed to third parties. We may be forced to disclose information
to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third
parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications.
If we need to investigate or resolve possible problems (such as Paypal
Fraud) or inquiries, we can (and you authorize us to do so) disclose any
information about you to private entities, law enforcement or other government
officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.
Security
We use industry-standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality
of your personal identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure
Socket Layers where appropriate.
