This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and used. We promise that we will take steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the Web pages, newsletters, and opt-in announcement lists owned and operated by GamePolitics, ("GamePolitics"). (The GamePolitics Network includes all Web sites and certain other Internet media properties hyper linked from the GamePolitics corporate Web site.) The following discloses our Privacy Policy.

What information are you collecting and how are you collecting it?

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" or IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the GamePolitics Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site.

Our Web servers also collect information about the type of Internet browser you are using, operating system, as well as which of GamePolitics' Web pages you have accessed. This information is used to help our team develop Web sites to display properly for the majority of our visitors.

Our Web servers do not automatically record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

Does GamePolitics use cookies?

Yes, GamePolitics uses cookies. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies are often used to provide you with a customized experience. At no time is any personal information stored within one of our cookies.

GamePolitics will not sell or otherwise provide the information we collect to outside third parties for the purpose of direct or indirect mass email marketing.

GamePolitics will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

1. Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on GamePolitics,
2. Protect and defend the rights or property of the GamePolitics Network of sites and related properties, or visitors to the GamePolitics Network of sites and related properties,

What safeguards are in place?

GamePolitics is obligated to protect your personal information by making reasonable security arrangements against such risks as unauthorized access, use, collection, disclosure or disposal. Security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation and day-to-day operating practices as part of GamePolitics' commitment to protect the personal information it holds. What else should I know about my privacy when online?

The GamePolitics Network contains many hyperlinks to third party Web sites. GamePolitics is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such third party Web sites or advertisers. GamePolitics does not share any of the individual personal information you provide GamePolitics with the third parties to which GamePolitics links. Please check with those Web sites to determine their privacy policy.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online - for example through e-mail, discussion lists, or elsewhere - that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you're online. Consent To This Agreement
