COOKIES
When you visit this site we send "cookies" to your computer primarily
to enhance your on-line experience. "Cookies" are files which can identify
you as a unique customer and store your personal preferences as well as technical
information. On their own, cookies do not contain or reveal any personal information.
However, if you choose to provide the site with personal information, this information
may be linked to the data stored in the cookies.
We may also collect certain anonymous technical information when you visit many of our web pages such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using and the domain name of your Internet service provider.
We use cookies and technical information to personalise your visit to our site (e.g., to recognise you by name when you return to our site) and to track customer trends and patterns. This helps us improve the design and content of our site for visitors and assists us in our marketing initiatives. Although most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, you can set most browsers at any time to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent.
Certain ads appearing on ChaoticGame.com may be delivered to you by a third party ad service provider. In the course of serving ads, the ad service provider may place or recognize their own unique cookie on our browser and may use non-personally identifiable information about your visit to ChaoticGame.com, such as the number of times that you have viewed an ad.
The Website never uses cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Except as described in this Privacy Policy, the Website does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes; nor is that information shared with any unaffiliated third parties. The Website does not use cookies to identify specific individuals, except in such cases as online shopping (see above), sweepstakes and contest registration (where a cookie may allow you to enter a contest without registering again each time).
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some areas of the Website, such as any shopping, contest, and game area, may not function properly if you set your computer to refuse cookies.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
We do not disclose personally identifiable information to third parties that visitors
to this site provide, except from time to time we may transfer, disclose or share
such information with third parties who may be engaged by us specifically to handle
and deliver certain online activities (e.g. conducting contests and sweepstakes).
Such third parties have access to personal information needed to perform their functions,
but may not use it for other purposes. Any such use will comply fully with this
Privacy Policy.
We may also disclose personally identifiable information to third parties in the following circumstances:
GUIDANCE FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN 12 AND UNDER
We have a special Privacy Policy for children visiting this site under the age of
13. We urge children to check with their parents or guardians before entering information
on any website, and we urge parents and guardians to discuss this Special Privacy
Policy with their children, including restrictions regarding the online release
of personal information to anyone they don't know.
We do not collect personally identifiable information about any website visitor under 13 such as names and email addresses without either (a) emailing the parent/guardian to provide the option to remove their child's email address and any other information relating to the child from the relevant database for that activity or (b) obtaining verifiable consent from that child's parent or guardian.
We will obtain such verifiable consent from a parent or guardian of a child before s/he can register for an account on ChaoticGame.com. When registering a site visitor is asked to provide his/her age, email address and the email address for his/her parent or guardian. We email the parent or guardian confirming that the child has begun the registration process and providing a link where the parent or guardian can give permission to the child to complete registration. Once approved, an email is sent to both parent and child confirming the completion of registration. The registered child will then be able to: (1) create a ChaoticGame.com profile, (2) post on message boards, (3) challenge other Users to online games, and (4) chat with are Users during online games.
The parent or guardian who wishes to modify, correct, update or delete their child’s registration information or ChaoticGame.com profile can log onto their child’s account through the Parent Zone at http://support.chaoticgame.com/ParentalControls_Settings.aspx. The parent or guardian can lock, modify, delete and/ or approve specific activities for their child's account. A parent may suspend a User's account, including access to all membership, communities and on-line game play. Parents or guardians can also go to http://support.chaoticgame.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=5396&task=knowledge with any questions or problems.
We will only request personal information from children that is reasonably required to allow them to participate in a contest or activity on the Website. For example, for sweepstakes and contests, email addresses are collected only for the purpose of entering the online sweepstakes or contest on a one-time basis and are used to notify winners and winners’ parents directly of the sweepstakes or contest once by email. Notification and prizes will be sent to parents/guardians. All emails collected are deleted upon completion and fulfillment of the sweepstakes or contest.
We only keep any personally identifiable information we obtain through a contest or sweepstake until we have successfully selected the winner(s), awarded the prize(s), and completed the administration of the contest or sweepstake as legally required; and such information will not be used for any other purpose. We will not publish the names, ages, images or other personally identifiable information of any contest winner under 13 without first obtaining the consent of the contest winner's parent or guardian.
The email address of a child under 13 is never posted on the Website. No personally identifying information should be submitted to, or posted at, the Website by anyone under 13 without obtaining their parent/guardian’s prior consent.
GUIDANCE FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN 13 AND ABOVE
It is important to us that older children can enjoy our Website in a responsible
fashion. We therefore encourage them to consult with their parents before providing
personally identifiable information. We also encourage parents to supervise their
children’s online activities by, for example, adopting parental control tools available
from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a child-friendly
online environment. As with younger children, no personally identifying information
should be submitted to, or posted at, the Website by older children without obtaining
their parent/guardian’s prior consent.
We do not knowingly disclose personally identifiable information about any website visitor aged 13-17 (such as names and email addresses) without obtaining verifiable consent from that child's parent or guardian.
CHATS, MESSAGE BOARDS/FORUMS AND BLOGS
Please remember that whenever you give out personal information online (e.g. via
message boards/forums, chats and blogs) that same information can be collected and
used by people you don't know. Although we try to protect your personal information
and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online
and you do so at your own risk. Children under 13 may not participate in chatrooms,
message boards/forums and blogs without prior verifiable parental consent. To prevent
messages containing inappropriate or personally identifiable information, our message
boards are monitored. Messages that do not follow the guidelines of the message
board/forum will either be edited for content or removed. Continued failure to comply
with such guidelines could result in the suspension or termination of a user's ChaoticGame.com
account.
