PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR ONLINE INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE PRACTICES MAY DIFFER FROM OUR PRACTICES REGARDING INFORMATION OBTAINED OFFLINE.

We maintain the right to change the Privacy Policy at any time. It is important that you check this Privacy Policy periodically for updates. The time of the last update will be listed at the bottom of this policy page.
The Personal Information We Collect. When using our Services or registering for the website, you may be asked to provide, or you may choose to upload, certain personally identifiable information about yourself (i.e. information that can directly identify you or indicate where you might be contacted) (hereinafter referred to as "Personal Information").
How We Use Your Personal Information.
The information we receive will be used in such a way that it is consistent with our Privacy Policy. Information collected will be used for specific purposes, usually in tandem with the reasoning for the information to be collected. For example, information collected during account creation will be used to create your account and allow you further access to our services. This information also allows us to better identify and distinguish our users as we monitor the usage of our services. If you buy a game, sending to you the game in the mail or, if you have won a contest, sending to you an e-mail notification that you have won. In addition, we may send to you an e-mail offering products or services which we think may interest you or asking you to participate in a survey. For example, we may send to you an e-mail regarding special merchandise offers and announcements about products or services offered by GTD Gaming, LTD. We may also contact you offline. For example, when you provide your mailing address, GTD Gaming, LTD. may send to you in the mail exclusive offers, promotions and catalogs, which we think may be of interest to you. If you want us to stop using the Personal Information you provided in these ways, please send an e-mail to support@gtdgaming.com
Other examples include, you can order products, enter competitions, participate in surveys, vote in polls, subscribe to a service (like our newsletter) or participate in a chat room, message board or forum. The types of Personal Information that may be collected through your participation in the Services may include, but not limited to: name, address, age, date of birth, gender, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information, Xbox LIVE account information, PlayStation Network account information and information about your interests in and use of various products, programs and services. Sometimes you can submit Personal Information about other people. For example, you might submit a person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic greeting card and, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to a friend, you might submit the friend's name and address. The types of personally identifiable information that may be collected about other people at these pages may include: recipient's name, address, age, date of birth, e-mail address, gender and telephone number.
In addition, you may choose to include Personal Information in your GTD public profile. For example, you may include information such as your name, address, age, date of birth, gender, contact information, what video games you play, your Xbox LIVE and/or PlayStation Network account name and what video game consoles you own. By sharing such information on your GTD public profile, you acknowledge that others may view and access such information from your public profile.
We collect this Personal Information, so we can better understand your interests and tailor the Services to suit you better. In any event, you may always decline to submit Personal Information to any of our Services, in which case we may not be able to provide those Services to you.
How We Share Your Personal Information.
Unless disclosed at time of collection, we will not share the Personal Information you provide with anyone not affiliated with GTD Gaming, LTD. except (a) if it is for the purpose(s) you provided the information; (b) with your explicit consent; (c) with other persons or companies with whom we contract with to carry out or fulfill internal Services operations (for example, hosting part of the website) or our business activities (for example, sending out a product or a promotional item that you have requested on the website); and/or (d) if required by courts, government authorities and other regulatory agencies, and to the extent required to permit us to investigate any potential violations of any law, rule, regulation, GTD rules or policies, rights of third parties, or to investigate any other potentially improper conduct.
One example of where we may share your Personal Information for the purpose submitted is if you enter a contest, sweepstakes or promotion sponsored by or co-sponsored by a non-affiliated third party. Based on our agreement with them, these third parties may obtain Personal Information that you voluntarily submit to participate in the contest, sweepstakes, or promotion. We have no control over the use of this information by these companies.
When your explicit consent is required for use of Personal Information that is not otherwise authorized by this Privacy Policy, we will seek to obtain your explicit consent at the place where the information is collected by an “opt-in” method. If you wish to “opt out” you must send an email to support@gtdgaming.com. Please include in the subject line “Opt Out” and your “User Name”. We may share Personal Information with our affiliated companies, including companies owned directly or indirectly by GTD Events, LTD., or under common ownership. Any of these companies may use and further share this information in the same ways we do.
As noted above, with your explicit consent, we may share the Personal Information you provide online with companies not affiliated with us (i.e. third-party companies) who want to market products or services to you or to ask you questions, both online and offline. If you want us to stop sharing your Personal Information with these companies, contact us at support@gtdgaming.com. You may also visit http://www.networkadvertising.org for more information on how to opt-out of the use of technologies for the delivery of behavioral advertising. If you consent to receive communications from non-affiliated companies, you may need to communicate with them directly if you later decide that you no longer wish to receive their communications or if you wish to change any data you provided online. In this instance, any changes or amendments to your Personal Information must be given directly to each company who communicates with you as these changes, amendments and/or deletions will not be exchanged between us and non-affiliated companies. We cannot guarantee how these non-affiliated companies will use your Personal Information.
Please note that we reserve the right to access or disclose your Personal Information and other information we gather as required by courts, government authorities or other regulatory agencies and to the extent required to permit us to investigate suspected fraud, harassment or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, GTD rules or policies, or rights of third parties or to investigate any suspected conduct which is deemed improper.
Use and Disclosure of Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
We also may collect certain non-personally identifiable information, such as pages viewed, advertisements clicked, browser type (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome), operating system (e.g., Windows or Mac OS) and other data.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our Services and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We may aggregate such information collected in a manner that does not identify any individual (“Aggregate Information”) to improve and enhance your experience with the Services and for our market research and advertising activities. For example, we may share Aggregate Information with affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, such as business partners, advertisers, ad networks, manufacturers, distributors and retailers, in an aggregate, anonymous form, which means that the shared information will not contain nor be linked to any Personal Information.
Other Web Sites. Our Services may contain links to other web sites whose information and privacy practices may be different than ours. We encourage you to be aware that when you leave our websites, or surf the Internet, that you read the privacy statement of each and every website you visit because we have no control over information that is submitted or collected by other sites. We do not endorse, screen, or approve, and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such other web sites.
Cookies.
“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a web site for purposes of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with the web site. Many web sites use cookies for these purposes. When you use our Services, we may send one or more cookies to your computer or other device that uniquely identifies your browser. We use such cookies to improve the quality of our service, including for storing user preferences, improving ad selection, measuring aggregate, anonymous data for usage and traffic of our Services, and tracking the frequency and placement of advertisements.
You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or flush them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences, in which case you may still use our Services, but certain GTD features and services may not function properly. For example, you may need to re-register with us every time you visit our website to participate in certain promotions and other offers.
Clickstream Data.
As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information is left at each web site you visit. This information, which is sometimes referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a web site’s server. Clickstream data can reveal the type of computer and browser you use and the address of the web site from which you linked to our Services. We may use clickstream data as a form of non-personally identifiable information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our website, how visitors navigate throughout the website and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of visitors.
Web Beacons.
Our Services may also use web beacon technology to help track usage. Web beacons (also called single pixel gifs or action tags) allow GTD Gaming, LTD. to track page viewing counts and patterns, which we use to focus and tailor future content development and otherwise measure and improve the performance of the Services.
At times, some of the advertisers on our Services and their ad service providers set cookies and web beacons when you click their advertisements. While we use cookies and web beacons in other parts of the Services (as discussed above), cookies and web beacons received with banner ads are collected by those advertisers and their ad service providers. The advertiser’s Privacy Policy and/or that of its service provider governs the use of this information and GTD Gaming, LTD. is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other companies.
Supplementing Information.
From time to time we may supplement information you give us with information from other sources, such as information validating your address. Thus, information we obtain through the Services may be intermingled with and used in conjunction with information obtained through sources other than the Services, including both offline and online sources.
Discussions and Community Tools.
We may, from time to time, make chat rooms, message boards, forums, blogs, news groups and other publicly accessible forums and community tools available to you. You should be aware that Personal Information you post to chat rooms, message boards, forums, blogs, news groups or other publicly accessible forums and community tools may be viewed and used by anyone with access to such forums. We are unable to control such uses of your Personal Information, and by using the Services you assume the risk that the Personal Information provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.
From time to time, we may use the content you write (including your name or screen name if you post it) for promotional purposes, in e-mail newsletters or elsewhere, and by using the Services, including without limitation these chat rooms, forums, message boards, news groups, and other community tools, and you agree that we may do so. Accordingly, you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your Personal Information in these areas, since anyone - not just us - may use publicly posted information.
Our Commitment to Security.
The security of your Personal Information is very important to us, and we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard and help protect your Personal Information.
No computer system or information can fully protect against every possible hazard, thus, we cannot guarantee communications between you and us or information stored on our Services or our servers will be completely free from unauthorized access, destruction, misuse, modification and improper disclosure by third parties.
