1. Under applicable law, Euchre Masters LLC (“EM” or “we”, “us” etc.) is the “controller” (as that term is used in the GPDR) of personal data collected through our services.
2. When you interact with us, we may collect information from you, as follows:
a. What You Tell us Directly: We collect information from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you register for access to our services or use certain Services. Information we collect may include but not be limited to username, email address, and any messages, images, transient VOIP data (to enable communication delivery only) or such information you provide in the course of game play or chat.
b. What We Collect Automatically: When you interact with us through our services, we receive and store certain information such as an IP address, device ID, and your activities within our services. We may store such information or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by affiliates, agents or service providers. Our services may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of messages users have sent, as well as the sites which refer visitors to EM.
c. Aggregated Information: In an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of our services, we may conduct research on our customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the information collected. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and we may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
d. Info through other Services: You may give us permission to collect your information in other services. For example, you may connect a social networking service (“SNS”) such as Facebook or Twitter to your EM account. When you do this, it allows us to obtain information from those accounts (for example, your friends or contacts).
e. Cookies: We may employ cookies and similar technologies to keep track of your local computer’s settings such as which account you have logged into and notification settings. Cookies are pieces of data that sites and services can set on your browser or device that can be read on future visits. We may expand our use of cookies to save additional data as new features are added to the Service. In addition, we may use technologies such as web beacons and single-pixel gifs to record log data such as open rates for emails sent by the system. Also, we may use third party web site analytic tools such as Google Analytics on our website that employ cookies to collect certain information concerning your use of our Services. However, you can disable cookies by changing your browser settings. Further information about the procedure to follow in order to disable cookies can be found on your Internet browser provider’s website via your help screen.
f. Advertisements: You may see our Service advertised in other applications or websites. After clicking on one of these advertisements and installing our Service, you will become a user of the Service. Sometimes advertising involves the collection of personal data when a user or potential user ‘clicks’ such advertising. EM does not offer a “Do Not Track” option directly. However, you may “opt out” of personalized advertising delivered by third parties through programs that are administered by certain third parties, including the Digital Advertising Alliance or Network Advertising Initiative.
3. Processors. EM is based in the United States. No matter where you are located, you consent to the processing and transferring of your information in and to the U.S. and other countries. The laws of the U.S. and other countries governing data collection and use may or may not be as comprehensive or protective as the laws of the EU or EU member-state where you live. However, it is the intention of EM to comply as far as possible with the laws of whichever jurisdiction provides the maximum privacy protection, and to ensure to our best ability that processors and other third parties also respect your privacy.
4.Our Use of Your Personal Data. When you provide us information for a certain reason, we may use the information in connection with the reason for which it was provided. EM or affiliates may also use your information collected through our services to help us improve the content and functionality of our services, to better understand our users and to improve our services. We may also use such information for marketing purposes, subject however, to your right to “opt out” as described above, or your right to instruct us to remove you from our mailing list. We may also use personal data for customer service, to maximize user experience, to optimize the service with improvements and advise you of such improvements, for the protection of users, or pursuant to legal requirements or process. And, of course, we may use where the user consents, expressly or impliedly. We consider unsolicited information to be information that the discloser consents to use or release.
5. EM does not sell personal data. However, there are some circumstances where sharing or transfer may occur, such as business reorganization, outside developers or necessary transactions with affiliated companies, channel partners, outside agents or consultants, or the like. There may also be legal obligations arising where such is reasonably necessary for our compliance.
6. Links on our site to unrelated sites do not constitute any representation or guarantee that such other sites are compliant with EM or the EU’s privacy policies
7. We do not knowingly do business with minors. A “minor” for purposes here is anyone under the age of 16, except in such EU member states where a lower age of consent has been established, but in no event under the age of 13. In the event that you are a parent or guardian of a minor and you have reason to believe that personal information has been disclosed by that minor to EM, please contact us at the address indicated below, so that we may take corrective action.
8. Retention and Security. We retain for as long as is reasonably necessary for our purposes, subject to backup or other legitimate business procedures. We may take steps to delete or “anonymize” (render not easily identifiable to an actual person by casual inspection.)
Security is to a large degree the responsibility of the individual user. In addition, however, EM takes reasonable steps to protect any data in our control from access or misuse by unauthorized parties.
9. We may periodically modify this. Please check back from time to time.
10. May reach us concerning your privacy rights, or you just want us to delete everything, please contact us at the following address: info@euchremasters.com. For deleting everything, you may request that at that address; we will respond by sending you a link. Please note that the link sent to you will require authenticating information (so we know it is really you) and note also that when we delete everything, it is permanent, i.e., we cannot “undelete” it.
Thank you for your business!
