The types of information we collect
We have one area where you can submit information directly
to us, and we also have features that automatically collect information from
the users of the Furious Gamer Services and visitors to our Site.
Information voluntarily provided by you
Registration: You must register with us to use our
free Furious Gamer Services. We may also offer options for you to sign up for
our newsletters. During registration to the Furious Gamer Services, you must provide
your email address, a username, and you must supply a password to us. It is
your responsibility to keep your password strictly confidential.
Communications from Furious Gamer Radio and our
newsletters: In order to keep our registered
users informed about the Furious Gamer Services' latest developments and features,
we may send messages to the email address you provided to us. If you elected to
opt in to our email list, we may also send newsletters or promotional emails to
you. You are always free to change your email preferences by following the
instructions provided in the "Edit Your Account Info" section of the
Site. In the event we send you a promotional e-mail, each such email will
include instructions detailing how you may unsubscribe from our mailing list.
Contacting Us:
You are always free to contact us with a question or problem related to your
use of the Furious Gamer Services. Our standard business practice is to retain
any communications from our registered Furious Gamer Services users and Site
visitors to help us to serve each of you better.
Third-party information provided to us
Partners: We
may receive information about you from third parties. For example, we may have
contractual relationships with other Web sites, retailers, original equipment
manufacturers, software suppliers and product or service providers through
which we provide access to registration for the Furious Gamer Services among
others (collectively, our "Partners"). Depending on a particular
promotion, a Partner may provide us with a user/member name that you already
use in connection with that Partner's products or services or that you or it
have otherwise pre-selected as part of the promotion.
Links: When
using our Furious Gamer Services, you may click through certain links or
promotions that will enable you to purchase products or use services provided
by our Partners. Some of these Partners may share certain information that you
provide to them with us. By clicking on and through to a link or promotion via
the Furious Gamer Services, you agree to allow us to receive and use any
information (except for credit card information) that you may provide to our
Partners, under the same terms and conditions as if you provided your
information directly to us. We are not, however, responsible for any other Web
sites or services, or their respective privacy policies or how they treat
information about their members. We strongly advise you to check their privacy
policies to find out how they are treating your personal information.
Third Party Usage: You may also separately share your information with other Web sites
or entities, such as those that create professional marketing lists, to receive
special offers and promotions from their affiliates. These Web sites or
entities may agree to share your information with us. Whether or not any third
party actually shares your information with us and to what extent they do share
your information with us will depend on their agreement with us and their respective
privacy policies. Furious Gamer is not responsible for, and will assume no
liability, if a Partner or other Web site or entity collects, uses or shares,
any information about you in violation of its own privacy policy, or applicable
law.
Marketing Data:
We may purchase marketing data from third parties and add it to our existing
user database to better target our advertising and to provide pertinent offers
in which we think you would be interested. We may also associate this marketing
data to the personally identifiable information they have provided to us.
Automatic Data Collection
Cookies: We
use what are commonly called "cookies," a small data string our
server writes to your hard drive, which allow Furious Gamer to identify you as
a valid registered user so that we can deliver programming to you, to ensure
that no one else can sign on simultaneously with your account from another
computer or device and to help us serve you better based on your registration
preferences (such as your preferences with regard to what types of programming
you would like to receive). We may also use cookies to collect non-personally
identifiable information regarding your visits to help us facilitate any
promotions or surveys that we provide. In addition, we may also use cookies in
connection with a sign-in feature that allows you to save your email address
and password each subsequent time you sign in and to track your use of free
trial features.
Partner Access:
When you access the Furious Gamer Services through a Partner, we may add select
aspects of your registration information (such as your email address and, if
applicable, the Partner or promotion through which you registered) to the
registry settings on your computer's hard drive, so that we can recognize which
of our Partners or other sign-in pages to send to you when you log on to the
Furious Gamer Services.
Performance tracking: We sometimes use cookies, as well as tracking technology, such as web
beacons, within the promotional emails that we send to our registered users and
subscribers. These performance tracking devices help us to track whether an
e-mail recipient has completed an event, such as signing up for a free trial
for example. Such information is non-personally identifying and collected on an
aggregate level. We may sometimes utilize third-party service providers to help
us track the activity within our Furious Gamer Services. These third parties
may use temporary cookies and/or web beaconing technology to facilitate such
tracking, but the data would not be tracked in a personally identifiable way.
Third parties whose products or services are accessible or advertised via the
Furious Gamer Services may also use cookies, and we advise you to check their
privacy policies for information about their cookies and other privacy
practices.
Other types of information collected: In order to better improve the Furious Gamer
Services, we capture other data such as a registered user's search criteria and
results, date, time, connection speed and the IP address of each registered
Furious Gamer Services user and Site visitor. We keep this information for our
internal security audit log, aggregate trend analysis, and system
administration. We also track a
userÕs pause points when Furious Gamer Services are used in connection with a
mobile device. We track this information
so that our users may reconnect to the programming from where they previously
paused when using a mobile device or listening through the Site.
When and with whom we may share your information:
Other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we do
not share your personal information with other companies.
Partners: If
you access the Furious Gamer Services through a Partner, we may share your
registration information (such as your email address) with our Partner that you
registered with for the Furious Gamer Services.
Vendors: We
will share your personal information with companies acting as our agents in
providing our service (e.g., customer/support services) to you, all of whom
agree to use it only for such specified purposes. Each vendor must also agree
to keep your personal information reasonably secure and confidential in
accordance with applicable laws.
Legally affiliated entities: In the event that Furious Gamer is merged with
another entity, or in the event of a transfer of our assets, Site or
operations, Furious Gamer may disclose or transfer your personal information in
connection with such transaction. In the event of such a transfer, Furious
Gamer will notify you via email or by posting a prominent notice via the
Furious Gamer Services for 30 days of any such change in ownership of Furious
Gamer resulting in a change of control of your personal information.
Legally compelled disclosure: We will also disclose your personal information when
required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a
subpoena or other legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's
request, or in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing
your personal information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (whether
intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property.
Bankruptcy:
You should also be aware that courts of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts,
may have the authority under certain circumstances to permit your personal
information to be shared or transferred to third parties without your
permission.
Consent to processing: Use of Furious Gamer outside of the United States is
a violation of our Terms of Use. If
you should nonetheless use Furious Gamer outside of the United States, by
providing any personal information to us, you fully understand and
unambiguously consent to the transfer of such personal information to, and the
collection and processing of such personal information in, the United States
and other countries or territories. Your personal information will be stored
and processed on our computers in the United States. The laws on holding
personal information in the United States may vary and be less stringent than
laws of your state or country.
Security
Furious Gamer endeavors to protect the security of
your personal information and your choices for its intended use. We store your
personal information on a secure server, and use procedures designed to protect
the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or
disclosure, alteration or destruction.
Although we will take commercially reasonable security
precautions regarding your personal information collected from and stored by
the Furious Gamer Services, due to the open nature of the Internet, we cannot
guarantee that any of your personal information stored on our servers, or
transmitted to or from a user, will be free from unauthorized access, and we
disclaim any liability for any theft or loss of, unauthorized access or damage
to, or interception of any data or communications. By using the Furious Gamer
Services, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks.
Email is not recognized as a secure medium of
communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send any personal
information to us by email. However, doing so is allowed, but at your own risk.
We follow commercially reasonable security precautions to protect the personal
information submitted to us, both during the transmission and once we receive
it.
Compromise of personal information
In the event that personal information is compromised
as a result of a breach of security, Furious Gamer will promptly notify those
persons whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the
notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise
required by applicable law.
Modification of your choices and preferences
You may modify your registration information at any
time by following the instructions provided in the account management area of
our Site. In addition, you may email us at contact@furiousgamer.com. Any
promotional e-mail from Furious Gamer will come with instructions for
unsubscribing from Furious Gamer's email mailing list.
Opt-out right:
If you have
elected to receive newsletters or promotional or marketing correspondence from
us previously and later decide that you no longer wish to receive such
correspondence from us in the future, you may opt-out from further receipt by
sending an email to contact@furiousgamer.com
or by following the opt-out
instructions provided in such correspondence. (If you use more than one email
address, then send your opt-out email from each of your email addresses.)
Your election not to receive newsletters or
promotional and marketing correspondence from us will not: (a) preclude us from
corresponding with you, by email or otherwise, regarding your existing or past
relationship with us, and (b) preclude us, including our employees,
contractors, agents and other representatives, from accessing and viewing your
personal information in the course of maintaining and improving the Furious
Gamer Services.
Notification procedures
It is Furious Gamer's policy to provide notifications,
whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other
business related purposes, to users via email or through conspicuous posting of
such notice on our Site, as determined by Furious Gamer in its sole discretion.
Furious Gamer reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing
notifications to our users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of
notification as described in this Privacy Policy.
