When does EvoGames collect your personal information?

EvoGames collects your personal information at different times when you interact with our services, buy or products or otherwise contact us. Whatever the activity may be, we will only collect information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to fulfil your requests and our legitimate business objectives.

EvoGames collects personal information via conventional Internet forms. For example, a new user to any of the Sites may be asked to register by providing his or her name, phone number, fax number, and home address. This information will then be associated with your e-mail account, so that you may identify yourself during future visits to each of the Sites. EvoGames also stores and maintains personal information that you submit to us in an e-mail or that you post on our bulletin board.

What happens if I refuse to provide my personal information?

If you do not submit personal information when asked by EvoGames, your refusal may limit our ability to process your online product registration, contest registration, purchase via our online store, or request for technical support. However, you do not need to provide personal information to EvoGames in order to access and use the Sites.

Does EvoGames Use Cookies, Track IP Addresses or Use Other Passive Means to Collect Information?

EvoGames uses cookies on the Sites. A "cookie" is a small bit of record-keeping information that web sites often store on a user's computer. Cookies do not include people's names, e-mail addresses, or other information that is personally identifiable; they are typically used to quickly identify a user's computer and to "remember" things about the user's visit. For example, EvoGames uses cookies to keep track of selected items in your shopping cart and to remember your login name and password. Any information collected this way is held only up until midnight of the same day, at which point, the information is deleted. You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent to your computer, although this may affect your ability to shop online. For more information about cookies, please see http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

EvoGames also keep tracks of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for safety and security reasons. An IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer every time you log on to the Internet.

The only other information passively collected by EvoGames is in the form of logs - files that record web site activity, including how many "hits" a particular web page is getting (a.k.a. "click-through data"). This information is used in an aggregated form and not to identify specific use patterns of you or any individual. These entries enable EvoGames to assess overall site activity, track interest in advertised sales, and troubleshoot technical concerns. We also use the log file entries for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve the referral services we provide you.

EvoGames may collect information regarding the user’s behaviour, and his/her use of EvoGames’s demos and in-game data such as achievements, rankings, time played to better adapt our products and services to users’ interests and for a better quality of our services.

What about other websites?

In addition to the Sites, EvoGames also owns several other domain names that may provide links to the Sites. We may from time to time also offer new websites that may or may not be Sites. Please note, however, that this policy applies only to the Sites on which this Privacy Statement is made available by EvoGames and not to websites maintained by other companies or organizations to which we may provide links. Please note, however, that when you link to foreign sites or any other third party sites from our Sites, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. EvoGames does not control the activities on those third party sites and cannot and does not guarantee the security of any personal information disclosed on those third party sites.

Who is collecting my personal information and how will it be used?

The information you submit to our Sites is collected and used by EvoGames as set out above. In addition, EvoGames may use the submitted information to send you advertising or promotional materials, including information about special rebates, promotional offers and other events of interest in accordance with your choices. We also use your personal information for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can constantly improve the products and services we provide you and to better meet your needs.

From time to time, EvoGames may employ third-party vendors, to collect personal information on EvoGames's behalf. These third parties provide internal support to EvoGames by operating some of the services we provide you including free email services and online product fulfilment. If we solicit third parties to collect personal information on our behalf, we require all such third parties to comply with and adhere to this Privacy Statement. When requesting these services, you may be asked to supply your name, billing and mailing addresses, email address, credit card number and valid expiration date. Although these third-party vendors, not EvoGames, collect the personal information you provide when requesting such services, they do not share your personal information with third parties. In addition, EvoGames has access to all information a third party collects on EvoGames's behalf.

If you use our Sites from outside Canada, please be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in Canada. The data protection and other laws of Canada have been recognised as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. If you are transferring your personal data from the United Kingdom, please be assured that in processing any personal information in Canada, EvoGames complies with these laws.

With whom does EvoGames share my personal information?

EvoGames may share your personal information among the EvoGames group of companies. This sharing enables us to provide you with information about products and services, which might interest you.

From time to time, we are approached by companies and organizations that provide products or services that we believe may be of interest to you, and we may share your personal information with such third parties in accordance with your choices. We strive to limit use of the information you provide to those offers that we think you would appreciate receiving. If you do not wish to receive information from these third party partners, you can opt out at the time of information collection (i.e., when you fill out the product registration form).

Does EvoGames Collect Personal Information from Children Under 12?

EvoGames encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children. We urge parents to instruct their children to never give out their real names, addresses or phone numbers, without permission, when using the Internet. We recognize a special obligation to protect personal information obtained from young children. Therefore, in order for children under 12 years old to register on any Site, we require that the child provides the email address of a parent or guardian who will be contacted by EvoGames in order to confirm, modify or refuse his or her child’s registration. EvoGames reserves the right to request written proof of the parent or guardian’s authorization at any time. If the parent or guardian does not answer within 30 days of EvoGames’s email, the child’s personal information will be deleted and his or her registration refused.”

Personal information collected by EvoGames is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public (e.g., locked rooms). To prevent unauthorized electronic access to personal information, EvoGames maintains information collected online behind a firewall-protected server and uses SSH encryption.

In addition, we take reasonable steps to assure that third parties who collect personal information on our behalf provide sufficient protection of personal information in addition to requiring their compliance with this Privacy Statement at all times.
