Privacy Policy
Effective as of March 4th, 2008
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share personally identifiable information (information that can be used to identify you, such as your full name, email address) ("PII") we obtain from and about individuals online.
This Policy applies to all web sites and services owned or provided by 8bitreview. New sites, domain names, or services that we add to the 8bitreview Sites will be subject to this Policy. The 8bitreview Sites are general audience web sites, and 8bitreview does not knowingly collect PII from children under 13 years of age.
From time to time we may revise this Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our information collection and use practices, the features of the 8bitreview Sites, or technology. If we make revisions that change the way we collect or use your PII, those changes will be posted in this Policy and the effective date will be noted at the beginning of this Policy. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices. If we materially change our practices regarding use of your PII, your PII will continue to be governed by the Policy under which it was collected unless you have been provided notice of, and have not objected to, the change.
Collection of PII
General. 8bitreview collects PII in order to create or enhance our relationship with you. When we collect PII from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting the information to us in order to participate in certain activities including (i) registration for certain online services and tools such as downloads, message boards, chat rooms or other community services; (ii) registration for special communications, such as email updates and newsletters; (iii) user surveys; (iv) events, sweepstakes, contests or promotions. We may obtain PII from third parties that we consider to be reputable. We also may receive on the 8bitreview Sites user-generated content or information of any type or medium, which may include PII, including but not limited to: audio conversations; text chat and video images from chat rooms; user reviews; and game guide submissions. Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information in public areas of an 8bitreview Site, such as the member home pages and message boards, your information can be viewed and possibly used by others. We advise users to be especially careful in such public areas about disclosing PII, such as full name, home address, or phone number. Cookies. Third party advertisements displayed on the 8bitreview Sites may contain cookies set by Internet advertising companies or advertisers. 8bitreview does not control these cookies. You should check the privacy policy of the Internet advertising company or advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies.
The 8bitreview Sites may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies. Some of these third party sites may be co-branded with an 8bitreview or affiliated entity's logo, even though they are not operated or maintained by 8bitreview. The 8bitreview Sites also carry advertisements from other companies. 8bitreview is not responsible for the privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to the 8bitreview Sites or for the privacy practices of third party or national Internet advertising companies. Once you've left an 8bitreview Site via such a link or by clicking on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
Sharing of Information
8bitreview will not use your PII for purposes different from those about which you have been notified, or share your PII with third parties that are not affiliated with 8bitreview, unless you have asked to receive certain information and/or services from third parties or participate in certain third-party programs (such as beta or demos) and have been notified that the fulfillment of such a request requires the sharing of your PII or you have consented to such sharing.
Security
8bitreview uses reasonable administrative, technical, personnel, and physical measures to safeguard PII in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. Passwords and other sensitive information stored by 8bitreview are encrypted in transit.
Notwithstanding these security measures, please be aware that when you submit PII to the 8bitreview Sites over the Internet, the information may travel over many systems that are not under the 8bitreview's control and may not be secure. If a password is used to help protect your accounts and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential. Do not share this information with anyone. Anyone who has access to your password will have access to your PII, as well as to any credit card information that you have submitted. If you are sharing a computer with anyone you should always log out before leaving a site or service to protect access to your information from subsequent users.
