BeatingTheCasino.com strives
to offer its visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to
provide an interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone
number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell,
barter, or rent your email address to any unauthorized third party. Period."
How we gather information
from users
How we collect and store
information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in which you
elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked
to provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our
site or request certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a
purchase. You may provide information when you participate in sweepstakes and
contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our
site. Like most Web sites, our company also collects information automatically
and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to our
visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider
or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your
visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your user name and password,
sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit, or
may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while
visiting our site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to
provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to
accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of
the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and password, and we may
not be able to customize the site’s features according to your preferences.
What we do with the
information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we
collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized
content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your
information with anyone.
Aggregated Information
(information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways.
For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar
information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services
(e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most
attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our
advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include
any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify
you individually.
We may use Personally
Identifiable Information collected on
BeatingTheCasino.com to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy
policy; services and products offered by
BeatingTheCasino.com and other topics we think you might
find of interest.
Personally Identifiable
Information collected by
BeatingTheCasino.com may also be used for other
purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting,
processing of e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and
contests, and other communications with you. Certain third parties who provide
technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service for
example) may access such information. We will use your information only as
permitted by law. In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our
business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or
businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the
transferred assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a
court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do
so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us,
and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or
necessary. Please note we may not provide you with notice prior to disclosure
in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked
sites and advertisements
BeatingTheCasino.com expects its partners, advertisers
and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that
third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other
content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and
data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our
site you may link to, or view as part of a frame of content that is actually
created or hosted by a third party. Also, through our company web sites you
may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
BeatingTheCasino.com is not responsible for the actions
or policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy
policies of those third parties when providing information on a feature or
page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our
advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or
other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve
information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third
parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine
whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features
available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use
cookies or other technology to gather information.
BeatingTheCasino.com does not control the use of this
technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that
if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on message
boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be
collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in
unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities
are beyond the control of
BeatingTheCasino.com and this policy.
Children
BeatingTheCasino.com does not knowingly collect or
solicit Personally Identifiable Information from or about children under 18
except as permitted by law. If we discover we have received any information
from a child under 18 in violation of this policy, we will delete that
information immediately. If you believe
BeatingTheCasino.com has any information from or about
anyone under 18, please contact us at
admin@beatingthecasino.com
BeatingTheCasino.com reserves the right to change this
policy at any time. Please check this page periodically for changes. Your
continued use of our site following the posting of changes to these terms will
mean you accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any
change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that applied at
the time the information was collected.
Governing law
This policy and the use of
this Site are governed by the law. If a dispute arises under this Policy we
agree to first try to resolve it with the help of a mutually agreed-upon
mediator. Any costs and
fees other than attorney fees associated with the mediation will be shared
equally by each of us.
If it proves impossible to
arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution through mediation, we agree to
submit the dispute to binding arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by
the arbitration may be entered in any court with jurisdiction to do so.
This statement and the
policies outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual
or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
