OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our home page.

This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the take Inc. web site and/or used in creating a Stake My Game account.

This notice is incorporated into and is subject to the Stake My Game Terms of Use. Your use of our Web Site and any personal information you provide on the Web Site remains subject to the terms of this notice and the Stake My Game Terms of Use.

Our Web Site may contain links to other web sites operated by third parties. Stake My Game is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third party web sites and this notice does not apply to those web sites.

Please note that any video, image, or other content you post on Stake My Game.com (e.g., your name with a comment to a blog post) is not considered personally identifiable information subject to this Privacy Policy and may be published by Stake My Game.

APPLICATION OF THIS NOTICE

This notice applies only to the information collected by Stake My Game from the users of our Web Site. It does not apply to information collected by Stake My Game in any other way.

THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Our Web Site tracks certain information about the visits to our Web Site. For example, we compile statistics that show the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Web Site and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics are used internally to improve our Web Site and for product development and marketing purposes generally. Those aggregated statistics may also be provided to advertisers and other third parties, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

Our Web Site is not set up to automatically collect personally identifiable information from new visitors to our Web Site. It does recognize the home server of new visitors. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our new visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Web Site. Once a user has visited the Web Site at least once, we may be able to match that user the next time he/she visits the Web Site. Any information previously obtained, such as an email address provided at registration, may be associated with that user but only if it were previously provided. This information will be used by Stake My Game to provide a superior user experience and relevant information and promotions.

We may also request information from our users when they perform specific activities on the Web Site.

For example, we request information from you when you:

Log-on to certain areas of our Web Site, where you are prompted to provide us with your Username and password as a condition to gaining access to certain information, materials or services.
Register or sign-up to use a service.
Subscribe to a newsletter or desire to be added to our mailing lists for other products or services.
Deposit funds into your account.
Withdraw funds from your account.
Provide feedback in an online survey.

In each of the instances above, we typically ask for items such as your name, e-mail address, phone number, address, product preference information, Stake My Game username and password, as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access to and use of certain information, materials and services. In the case of newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

Our subsidiaries, affiliated companies, agents, or other businesses or persons may have authorized access to your information (such as name or email address) for the purpose of processing such information on our behalf, including by using the information to make improvements to the services they provide. We may share your personally identifiable information third parties for their commercial or marketing use with your consent or as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to your requests for customer service.

As agreed in our Terms of Use, we may use personal information about you (such as your name and photo) in connection with marketing and publicity purposes. We will publish a profile page that includes your username, the date you became a member, your stats from previous contests and, if you uploaded one, your profile picture. When you participate in a contest, we may publish your username on a list of the contest participants, along with a link to your profile page. We also may share personally identifiable information in other situations with your consent.

Stake My Game also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information that Stake My Game believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Terms of Use, take precautions against liability or harm, to investigate and respond to third-party claims or allegations, to respond to a subpoena, legal order, or official request, to protect the security or integrity of our Service, and to protect the rights, property, or safety of Stake My Game, our Users or others. Information also may be shared as described in the Merger, Sale or Bankruptcy section below.

We do not share your personal information with other, third-party companies for their commercial or marketing use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature for which you will have the ability to opt-in or opt-out. You can opt out of receiving further marketing from Stake My Game at any time. We will send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only Stake My Game (or agents or contractors working on behalf of Stake My Game and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings.
