This includes software that you have downloaded or are about to download, any software you have embedded on a website or are about to embed ("GameVH"), any application created by GameVH and available through social networking sites (“SNS Apps”), any application created by GameVH and available through mobile devices (“Mobile App”). Your privacy is very important to us and, as described in this Privacy Policy, we have designed the Services to protect information about you from unauthorized disclosure to others. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and, in certain circumstances, share your personally identifiable information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, and if you have any questions, please contact us.

By registering for, accessing, using, and/or downloading any Service, you agree to GameVH's Privacy Policy and that you will abide by GameVH's Terms of Service. Among other things, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy, as such policy may be amended from time to time.

What we collect

GameVH gives you a number of options regarding what information you will give us:

- When you register your profile with GameVH, your profile including any information (name, address, gender) will be registered with GameVH. When you identify yourself on a GameVH site, you may identify yourself using a GameVH account. When you identify yourself on a GameVH site, you may identify yourself through a social network account in which GameVH may receive additional information about your profile.

- In each case, we will collect and record the information you have provided. Other than names and email addresses provided at your discretion, we don’t generally collect any “Personally Identifying Information” about our users (such as social security numbers, street address, drivers license number, etc.), exception being for billing and payment where we store your billing information such as name, street address, phone number. We may offer you the opportunity to submit other information about yourself (such as gender, age, occupation, hobbies, interests, zip codes, etc.), or we may be able to collect that information from social networking systems on which you have used GameVH Games or SNS Apps (in accordance with the terms of use of those systems), which would then also be covered by this Privacy Policy.

- In addition to information about yourself, you may choose to share information about yourself in other content (“Content”), such as in games. Any action you perform with other players are considered public, and at your own discretion.

- When you use an SNS App on your social network page or use an SNS App on someone else’s page, we may record information regarding the use of that SNS App, and we may collect other information that is visible on your social network page in accordance with the relevant terms of use associated with that page.

- Note that since most GameVH is served through SNS Apps, it is your responsibility to read and accept their Terms of Use, as well as Privacy Policy prior to continuing.

- When you use a Mobile App, which includes telephones and other devices such as tablets, you agree that information about your use of the Service through your mobile device and carrier may be communicated to us. This information includes, but is not limited to your carrier, device, geo-location, IP address, telephone number, country or other information you provide. With your permission, we may also access your contacts. Your carrier’s standard fees and rates will still apply, including without limitation SMS/text messaging fees, and you accept responsibility for all charges.

- When you invite new members into your network or send messages through the Service, we collect and maintain on secure servers the information associated with those messages, including email addresses and content.

- We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, GameVH Games and other users of GameVH, to supplement your profile.

- GameVH may contain links to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by GameVH.

- Finally, in order to provide the best possible service and to allow us to make certain internal reports and make recommendations, we collect aggregate information about the use of the Service, including information about users accessing the GameVH site, playing GameVH Games, using SNS Apps on other sites or using Mobile Apps, such as internet protocol addresses, browser type, browser language, referring / exit pages and URLs, other browser history, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time (“Activity Information”).

In such an event, GameVH will notify users who have provided email addresses when information about those users is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Others’ Information

- You may decide to provide us with another person’s email address so that person may be invited to join GameVH or so that we may facilitate your communication with other people through the Service (such as when you upload an address book).

- You may also provide us with another person’s contact information for purposes of delivering information through SNS Apps or Mobile Apps.

We may disclose such information if required to do so in order to comply with legal process, as described above.

Cookies

- The Service sends “cookies” to your computer when you access the GameVH site, or otherwise view content through a GameVH Game, or use an SNS App or Mobile App, and the Service uses such cookies as described in here. The Service uses cookies to improve the quality of our service, make recommendations, and make the Service easier to use for our users. A cookie is a small text file recorded on your device that identifies you as a unique user and contains certain information about your particular login session and/or your use of the Service.

Use of Information

- GameVH may contain links to other web sites, and content in GameVH Games, Mobile Apps and SNS Apps may be hosted by other web sites. In addition, as described above, most content offered through GameVH Games or SNS Apps is served or hosted by other sites. These other sites maintain their own policies regarding cookies and the collection and use of personal information. It is up to you to review those policies yourself.

Security

- GameVH takes appropriate precautions to protect our users’ information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as your password), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). (To learn more about SSL, go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer). However, regardless of the precautions taken by you or by us, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information or private communications will always remain private. We cannot ensure or warrant the ultimate security of any information you transmit. Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions about the security of GameVH Web Site, please contact us at [email protected].

How To Delete Your Data

- You can contact us via in-game support channels, fanpage or mailbox [email protected]. We will immediately delete the data after receiving your request.

Additional Questions

- Again, feel free to contact us by sending an email to [email protected], any time, if you have further questions about GameVH or this Privacy Policy, or if you want to receive a previous version of this document.
