Introduction
This policy describes our practices with respect to information we collect from you. We do not knowingly collect your personally identifiable information without your consent and we will not condition your participation in activities on GoPlay on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary. Also we do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we actually know is under the age of 13 (or older, if posted upon signup) . The Service is not designed for or directed to children under the age of 13 (or older, if posted upon signup) .
GoPlay enables its users to disclose certain personal information to fully utilize its messaging services. Privacy and the sharing of this information are always delicate issues, however GoPlay cares deeply about the privacy of users' information and we make it our highest priority to protect the privacy of our users.
GoPlay will adhere to this policy when dealing with any information collected within the GoPlay website. The information will only be used to provide you with an enriched and finely personalized experience within the site. No personal information collected from our users will ever be sold or leased to any third party without the proper consent.
Use and Disclosure of information we Collect
Most of the information we collect is used for managing your account as well as internal research purposes so that GoPlay can offer a better user experience (If you do not enter the requested data, we will not be able to provide you with certain services). We DO NOT rent, sell or disclose our users' private information to any third parties outside of those companies stipulated in our Terms of Service.
Your Personal Information may be processed by GoPlay in the country where it was collected as well as other countries (including the United States of America) where laws regarding processing of Personal Information may be less stringent than the laws in your country.
Information we Collect
There are two ways information is collected by us: 1. you voluntarily submit it to us during the registration process by completing a form on our site or by communicating with us and providing that information as part of the communication; or 2. we collect it from all our site users electronically to track how the site is used, where our users come from and their preferences.
During our registration process we use Facebook Connect to collect your profile photo, name, gender, date of birth, postal code, e-mail address, login and password. By using Facebook Connect to log in to GoPlay, you agree and provide GoPlay with these. We also enable you to sign up for the service by creating a unique username and password or via a loyalty/players club account. By using these (and other) alternative sign up metods to log in to GoPlay, you agree and provide GoPlay with the information requested of you at the time of sign up. Please be advised that any visitor on GoPlay can view your profile information and photos that you have uploaded. We also may collect and store Personally identifiable information you provide to us in inquiries, reporting forms and customer service communications with us. If you submit information to us to register for a special offer, contest or for access to select or premium services, that information is collected and stored as well. You may submit information to us offline, as well, through special offers or offline registration processes. (Only registered users may enter contests, sweepstakes or participate in any other promotion on the website). All of this information is governed by this Privacy Policy, unless it is indicated otherwise at the time the information is collected or submitted. If special terms are indicated, then those terms, not these, would apply.
To provide you with some of the features that GoPlay offers to its members, we may use your Personal Information, for example to send invitation emails to people that you specified as being interested in joining GoPlay, becoming your friend or playing a game on the Sites. We may use your Personal Information to provide useful information about social networks to people who might be interested in joining GoPlay, becoming your friend or playing a game on the Sites, for example when we send birthday reminders to GoPlay users or when we send general newsletters to users of GoPlay.
Personally identifiable information is information that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you. Such information may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, birth date (primarily for eligibility purposes) and billing and credit card information. In all of these cases, we will collect personally identifiable information from you only if you voluntarily submit the information to us. We may also receive personally identifiable information about you from parties providing credit and debit card authorization and fraud screening services as part of your use of such Service. Unless you give us permission to do so, we will not sell, share, license, trade or rent your personally identifiable information other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.
Non-personally identifiable information is information that by itself cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information (like age, profession or gender). Non-personally identifiable information may also include user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of the Service. This information is not shared with third parties (except those working with us to maintain or operate the Site, handle your financial transactions, provide certain customer services, maintain or improve our site integrity and security, maintain the users', public's or Site's safety, address risks or comply with applicable law, as more fully described below.) We may use it to send you messages we believe to be of interest or about the Site itself, from time to time if you opt-in for such messages upon registration.
Except as set forth herein, we do not collect any personally identifiable information or contact information about our users. We do not knowingly permit users from outside of the US or Canada, or North American users under the age of 13 (or older, if posted upon signup) to register for this Site or participate in any contests nor do we knowingly collect any personally identifiable information or contact information about or communicate with any user we believe to be from outside of North America or under the age of 13 (or older, if posted upon signup) from North America.
If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will send your friend an email inviting him or her to visit the site. GoPlay stores this information to send these invitations, to register a friend connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at help@GoPlay to request that we remove this information from our database.
Online Purchases
When you purchase goods or services from us or through one of our vendors using our site, we collect information to enable that purchase. This includes shipping, payment, delivery confirmation and any customer service issues. In some cases, you may purchases a subscription to premium accounts or virtual goods at other websites from a screen accessed from our Site. That information is collected by that other website, and not by us, and their privacy policies (not ours) apply to that interaction.
Advertising
GoPlay accepts advertisements from third party advertisers. These advertisers are carefully selected to provide information about products and services that we think may be of interest to our users. Please note that if you click on any of these advertisements, these advertisers may use cookies and other web-tracking technologies to collect this non-personal information about you. They will not have any personal information identifying you or linking you to your account unless you directly provide it to them. We recommend that you review the terms of use and privacy policy for any advertiser with which you are interacting before doing so. Their privacy policy, not ours, will apply to any of those interactions.
Contests and Sweepstakes
If We offer you an opportunity to participate in a sweepstakes or contest, only enough information as is required to enroll will be collected. After the drawing or contest is concluded, we will not retain any additional personally identifiable information collected beyond the information already provided at the time of registration for the Website. If you win a sweepstake or contest, we notify you via the e-mail address provided to us during the registration process. We may publish a winner's first name, first initial of last name, city, and state of residence on the GoPlay service. If the contest, promotion or event involves a third-party site, you should refer to the third-party's privacy policy for information about their practices.
Passive Collection of Information
- Log Files
-
GoPlay may also document/record the metrics associated with the frequency of use, duration of online sessions, information read while onsite, web pages visited, communications with other users, content used or created, the Internet protocol (IP) address that serves users to access GoPlay and users' log-in geographic location. We automatically collect such information through the use of log files and other means. Additional information may be collected when we exchange communications with users, such as a request to customer support. We will use any information that we collect in accordance with this Policy, irrespective of how it is collected.
- Tracking Cookies
Like most websites, we use cookies to remember who you are if you choose the "remember me" option when you log in. If you choose "remember me", your username will be kept in a cookie on your computer for up to 7 days.
Data Retention Period
We will only retain personally identifiable information (PII) about you for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer retention period is required by law and/or regulations.
Third Party Applications Operating On GoPlay
We do not own or operate the applications or websites that use the GoPlay Platform. When you use those applications and websites you are making your GoPlay information available to someone other than GoPlay. Prior to allowing them to access any information about you, we require them to agree to terms that limit their use of your information. When you connect with an application or website it will have access to General Information about you. The term General Information includes your and your online friends’ names, profile pictures, gender, user IDs, connections. We may also make information about the location of your computer or access device and your age available to applications and websites in order to help them implement appropriate security measures and control the distribution of age-appropriate content. If the application or website wants to access any other data, it will have to ask for your permission. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SHARE ANY INFORMATION WITH A THIRD PARTY APPLICATION OR WEBSITE DO NOT USE THE APPLICATION OR WEBSITE.
You should review the policies of third party applications and websites to make sure you are comfortable with the ways in which they use information you share with them. We do not guarantee that they will follow our rules. If you find an application or website that violates our rules, you should report the violation to us and we will take action as necessary. The email for this is privacy@GoPlay.com
If your online friend connects with an application or website, it will be able to access your name, profile picture, gender, user ID. If you have already connected with (or have a separate account with) that website or application, it may also be able to connect you with your friend on that application or website. If the application or website wants to access any of your other content or information (including your friend list), it will have to obtain specific permission from your friend. If your friend grants specific permission to the application or website, it will generally only be able to access content and information about you that your friend can access. In addition, it will only be allowed to use that content and information in connection with that friend. For example, if a friend gives an application access to a photo you only shared with your friends, that application could allow your friend to view or print the photo, but it cannot show that photo to anyone else.
In order to provide you with useful social experiences off of GoPlay, we occasionally need to provide General Information about you to pre-approved third party websites and applications that use Platform at the time you visit them (if you are still logged in to GoPlay). Similarly, when one of your friends visits a pre-approved website or application, it will receive General Information about you so you and your friend can be connected on that website as well (if you also have an account with that website). In these cases we require these websites and applications to go through an approval process, and to enter into separate agreements designed to protect your privacy. For example, these agreements include provisions relating to the access and deletion of your General Information, along with your ability to opt-out of the experience being offered.
As GoPlay utilizes Facebook Connect to access this personal information that you and your connected friends give – you may also want to consult the Facebook terms of service and privacy policy before making any connections.
GoPlay may also use certain (casino) players clubs to access this personal information that you and your connected friends give - you may also want to consult their individual terms of service and privacy policy before making any connections
Individual games may also contain links to other sites whose information practicies may be different than ours. You should consult these other privacy policies as we have no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by, these sites
GoPlay will not sell, lease or give your personal information to third parties without your explicit consent, unless required by law. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- If sharing your information is necessary to execute a specific request by you. In these specific cases, third parties will not retain, share or store any personally identifiable information except to provide the specific services requested by you, and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements which limit their use of such information.
- If sharing your information is required by law or is necessary to respond to a subpoena, warrant or court order, or to protect the rights of GoPlay or its users. We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Website; or
- If you give us explicit permission to share your information for any reason not stated in this privacy policy.
GoPlay may also utilize anonymous, statistical or aggregated information about users, including any aggregated information related to users' personal accounts, and share, publish, post, disseminate, transmit or otherwise communicate or make available such information (i.e. without revealing a specific users' identity), to suppliers, business partners, sponsors, affiliates and any other third party, at our sole discretion, provided however, that such information will not personally identify users and that we will not knowingly, or intentionally use such information to reveal users' identity without users' consent, under the terms of this policy.
