Information Collection and Use
WGWorld.com collects optional data supplied by
visitors to our web site through registration, surveys, sweepstakes or
contests, as well as information that we gather from visitors via our
server log. This information enables us to better tailor our content to
your interests, and to help our advertisers better understand the
audience they are reaching. Our site is completely free, and is
supported by paid advertisements and it is therefore critically
important for us to be able to identify our audience. Information is
only shared with advertisers or any other third parties in aggregate
form. We are also firmly committed to identifying whether information
presented on our sites is written by our editorial staff or is
contributed by a user or vendor.
WGWorld.com does its best to protect the privacy of our younger audience. We do not actively collect information through our Website from children aged 12 and under, without prior parental permission. We encourage parents to take an active role to protect the privacy of their children. In addition, we encourage parents to instruct their children never to give out real names or any other identifying information over the Internet without first getting permission and to monitor their Internet activities.
Use of IP Addresses
For each visitor to our site, our web server
automatically records the visitor's domain and IP address. We use your
IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer
our Web site.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are small files that contain information a
web site uses for tracking a visit. Our site uses cookies to
authenticate who you are and what information you have registered for
access to. We also use this to keep track of your service selections
and to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your
password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site.
You password is encrypted within the cookie, so this cannot be accessed
by any outside parties. As an option, a visitor may choose to reject a
cookie and instead use their personal identifier each time they visit
and select services that require authentication. Not all areas of our
sites require authentication. We use an outside serving company to
display ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies. While we use
cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies received with banner
ads are collected by our ad company, and we do not have access to this
information.
Use of Registration Data
Some optional services that WGWorld.com offers
require registration. Our site's registration process requests that
users give us contact information (like their name and email address),
unique identifiers for authentication, and demographic information that
pertains to their profession such as business industry and job
function. We use customer contact information from the registration
form to send the user relevant information about our company and
promotional material from some of our partners, but only to those who
opt to receive it. We deliver these messages ourselves, and do not
allow email addresses or other contact information out of our control.
Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out
section below. The customer's contact information is also used to
contact the visitor when necessary, for the administration of prizes,
rewards, or to respond to customer service requests. This information
is only shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis. Unique
identifiers such as passwords, are collected to verify the user's
identity and for use as account numbers in our database. This site
contains links to other sites and WGWorld.com is not responsible for
the privacy practices or the content of such Web sites.
User Reviews
By posting content on the Service (WGWorld.com),
including, without limitation, any game reviews, you automatically
grant, or warrant, that the owner of such content has expressly granted
WGWorld the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, nonexclusive right
and license to use, reproduce, publish, translate, sublicense, copy,
and distribute the content in whole or in part worldwide and/or to
incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now
known or hereafter developed for the full term of any copyright that
may exist in such content. In addition, you agree to permit any other
user of the Service to access, store, or reproduce the content for that
user's personal use. Subject to this grant, the owner of the content
posted on the Service retains any and all rights which may exist in
such content.
User Surveys
We occasionally run surveys that are optional to
participate in. We only ask participants for contact information and
demographic information that pertains to their gaming habits. The
customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor when
necessary, or for the delivery of prizes or rewards. Users may opt-out
of receiving future survey mailings; please see the choice/opt-out
section below. The survey data is only used in aggregate form and may
be used to guide our editorial process or site development process.
Partner Sites
Information that is shared with or collected at
partner sites is used to provide the services that the user selects at
that site. Communication by our partners with WGWorld.com customers is
limited to the services that our customers select. For example, if a
customer requests to be notified when information on a selected topic
becomes available, the partner site may contact our customers.
Customers are given the option to discontinue services at any time.
Additionally a user name and password may be shared with partner sites
for the purpose of logging a customer in to a WGWorld.com service
hosted in another domain. If desired, customers may choose to exclude
the sharing of this information during the registration process, or by
modifying their profile and service selections.
Access to Other Sites through WGWorld
You may visit independent web sites, not owned or
operated by WGWorld, through links on WGWorld. Such sites are operated
by external, third-party service providers. Some of these sites will
have their own separate membership processes and privacy policies. We
do not control sites that are operated by others and are not
responsible for the information practices of these sites. Other sites
may set their own cookies, collect data or solicit personal
information. It is always a good idea to check the privacy policy and
terms of use of any site before offering any of your Personal
Information. We do not share your Personal Information with these
independent web sites.
Site Security
This site has security measures in place to
protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our
control. These hardened security systems include firewalls,
authenticated access to internal databases, and audit of regular
procedures.
Choice/Opt-Out
WGWorld.com gives visitors the opportunity to
opt-out of receiving communications from us, at the point we request
information from you. To remove personal information from our database
