1. How We Collect Personal Information
Automated Information
Collection Technologies
As described below, when you access
our Services, we collect certain technical information and may associate such information with your user
or account ID number for our internal use.
Cookies
A “cookie” is a small
text file that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive.
We may use cookies to track general, non-personal information about our users (e.g., user name, pages
viewed, time spent on our Site(s), games, and the sites visited just before and just after our Site(s))
for statistical and market research purposes.
We use cookies to gather
information about our users’ browser activities in order to constantly improve our Service. This
information assists us to design and arrange our web pages in a most user-friendly manner and to
continually improve our Service to better meet the needs of our customers, prospective customers, and
visitors.
We may also use local shared
objects known as “flash cookies”, which help us to prevent fraud, remember your in-game
settings and to track your progress on certain in-game tasks.
You have choices with respect to
cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the option to reject all cookies, or limit the
type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently from browser cookies and cookie management
tools available in a web browser will not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash
cookies you can visit www.adobe.com. Rejecting or
limiting the type of cookies may, however, in limited
instances prevent you from accessing certain features on our Service.
Log Files
Like most Internet services, we may
also use log files on the server side. The data held in log files includes your computer’s or Mobile
Device’s IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, browser language, e-mail application,
Internet service provider, referring/exit Web pages, computer platform type, date/time stamp, and user
activity. The company uses server log data to analyze trends, administer the services offered through our
Service. We and our third party partners may use this information for product and service improvements,
and in marketing and advertising services.
The software enabling our Services
has associated log and temporary files that are stored on Company’s servers. These files store your
account information, preference settings, system notifications as well as other data necessary to enable
you to participate in our Service. Your information may also exist within regularly performed server
backups.
Tracking
Technologies
Our Services may utilize a variety
of methods for tracking purposes, including web beacons (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear
GIFs). Web beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites to
analyze the traffic patterns, such as the frequency users visit various areas of our Services. Pixel tags
may allow us to advertise more efficiently by excluding our current users from certain promotional
messages or identifying the source of a new installation. These methods may involve transmitting
information either directly to us or to another entity authorized by us to collect information on our
behalf. We also use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that we send our guests to determine whether
our guests have opened those e-mails or clicked on links in those e-mails. With web beacon technology, the
information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain
your name, address, telephone number, or email address.
Third Party
Advertisers
Many advertisements are managed and
placed on the service by third parties. These third party advertisers may use cookies, web beacons or
similar automated information collection technologies on your computer or Mobile Devices to help present,
better target, and measure the effectiveness of their advertisements, by collecting non-personally
identifiable information when you click on or move your cursor over one of their advertisements. We may
share certain non-personally identifiable information about you as a user with certain third party
advertisers to help them deliver more relevant advertisements through their ad networks. In some cases, we
may have access to information from cookies, web beacons and similar automated information collection
technologies used by third party advertisers on our Services and this information may permit us to
identify other sites or services that you have visited that are also associated with the third party
advertiser.
The use of cookies, web beacons, or
similar automated information collection technologies by third party advertisers is subject to their own
privacy policies. Finally, once you have clicked on an advertisement and have left the Service, our
Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the applicable third party
advertiser to see how your personal information will be collected, stored and used as part of their
service.
Click Through URLs
Some of our Services, including
email messages, use “click-through URLs” linked to other content on our Services. We track
this click-through data to help us determine interest in topics and use of the Services.
Monitoring/Public
Information
You may also choose to disclose
personal information in our Forums. Personal information you disclose in such Forums is public
information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality. Please refer to the Terms of
Service for additional information relating to the disclosure of personal information in such Forums.
Other
Sources
We may collect or receive
information from other sources including other users of the Service and third party information providers
and partners. For example, we receive and store the information you provide when you enter any promotion,
sweepstakes or loyalty program. Such information may be used to supplement your account information and/or
profile and may be combined with other information we collect from you.

elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we will not use or disclose any personal information collected from you.
Your personal information may be used alone or in the aggregate with information collected from other
users.

Disclosure and Transfer to
Third Parties
We generally do not disclose or
transfer any personal information about our customers, prospects, or visitors to any third parties. We may
however, disclose and transfer data which does not contain or reveal any personally identifiable
information or is specifically attributable to you to our business partners, third party analytics service
providers, ad networks and advertisers (collectively, “Partners”). Provided, however, some
Partners may also act as third party service providers (described below) to us and may have access to your
personally identifiable information. Moreover, Partners may obtain public information about you from your
profile or other public sources.
We may also periodically engage in
co-marketing activities, where we work with a complementary solution provider to launch a joint marketing
program. In these situations, we will only send information to you on behalf of the other; we do not
provide your personally identifiable information to such partner. We may also enter into business
partnerships with other parties to provide specific services. If a user signs up for these services or
responds to a particular marketing offer, we may share personally identifiable information such as your
name or other contact information that is necessary for our business partner to provide these services or
get in contact with you.
Disclosure of your personally
identifiable information may occur when we engage or employ service providers, vendors or other third
parties to facilitate the provision of our Services (including, without limitation, payment processing,
data analysis, e-mail delivery, hosting services, customer service and promotional services) to provide
the Services on our behalf, or to assist us in analyzing how our Services are being used. Such third party
service provider ( “Third Party Partner”) may have access to your personally identifiable
information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any
other purpose.
In the event Company combines with
another company in the future through a corporate merger, sale, acquisition, liquidation or other similar
process, your personally identifiable information may be transferred with the business or a part of it, or
may be sold as an asset of the business, to the successor organization in such transaction. If material
changes to the Company’s privacy practices will occur as a result of such transaction, we will
notify you and other users in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.
In addition, upon the expiration or
the termination of any third party license arrangements involving one or more parts of the Service, your

transferred to the subject third party licensor in accordance with the terms of the applicable license
agreement. In advance of such transfer to a third party licensor, the Company will notify you and other
users in writing in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.
Safety, Security and
Legally Required Disclosures
Your personally identifiable
information, and communications you make within the Service, may be accessed and disclosed if we believe
that our Service is being used in the commission of a crime, when we believe in good faith that there is
an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person and when necessary either to
protect our rights or property including to enforce our Terms of Service, or for us to render the service
you have requested.
We may also disclose personally
identifiable information when required by law, regulation, court order, or in response to a subpoena or
litigation discovery request, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to
conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on us. In addition, we will make
any legally required disclosures to government authorities and provide notice to you of any breach of
security, confidentiality or unauthorized release of personal or private data in accordance with
applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Storage and Security
We employ reasonable measures (both
online and offline) to protect the security of information we collect from you. Such information is housed
in secure databases, equipment and servers located in Singapore, South Korea and/or in other countries.
The databases, equipment and servers we utilize may be owned by third party providers. To prevent
unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of
information, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure
the information we maintain. We use industry-standard technology, such as firewalls, in an effort to
protect the confidentiality of your personal information. Moreover, in addition to password protection
offered in connection with your Service account, we encrypt your transmission of sensitive information to
us (e.g., account passwords and payment-related identifiable information) via SSL (secured socket layer)
protocol in the interest of heightened privacy protection and information integrity.
Although we take reasonable
precautions against possible security breaches of our Service, databases, equipment or servers, and
records, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other security breaches and
factors beyond our control will never take place and result in disclosure of your personal information.
Accordingly, we disclaim any guarantees, warranties or representations relating to maintenance or
nondisclosure of any personal information collected from you. We strongly urge you to take reasonable
measures at all times (online and offline) to protect your personal information, including your password
and other sensitive information..
In addition, while we strive to
protect your personal information, you should know that information sent over the Internet, whether by
e-mail or by using one of our on-line forms, is not necessarily secure against interception. Therefore, we
cannot be responsible for such interception and cannot guarantee the security of such information..
We will investigate, attempt to
resolve and take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that your personal information and data is
treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy..
We will retain your personal
information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as needed to
provide you with Services. We may retain your personal information after you have closed any account you
have with us or after we have ceased providing Services to you if retention of your Personal Information
is reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations, meet regulatory requirements, resolve
