Privacy
Policy
Pimpernel Games realizes that privacy
on the Internet is a great concern to many people. Pimpernel Games has
created this privacy policy to clarify its collection and use of personal
information. Please note that this site contains links to other sites
and Pimpernel Games is not responsible for the privacy practices or
the content of any website not owned or operated by Pimpernel Games.
The following policy describes and discloses the information gathering
and dissemination practices of Pimpernel Games.
1. Collection and Use of Personal Information
In general, Pimpernel Games gathers personal information about its users
when they voluntarily register to use our services, enter certain contests
or sweepstakes and when Pimpernel Games aggregates information gathered
by tracking the usage of certain features available on the Website.
Our collection and use of personal information will enable us to tailor
our content to your needs and to help our advertisers, sponsors and
business associates better understand the demographics of our audience,
which is essential to providing Pimpernel Games as a free service to
you as the consumer.
2. Registration Process
Our site's registration form only requires new users to provide a "user
name" (their "handle" or moniker on our system) and sometimes contact
information in the form of their e-mail address.
3. "Cookies"
A cookie is a small data file that certain Websites write to your hard
drive when you visit them. They are designed to enhance your browsing
experience on the site. A cookie file can contain information such as
screen names and passwords, demographic information and other tracking
data. The only personal information a cookie contains is the information
you supply yourself. Our cookies cannot read any information, personal
or otherwise, from your hard drive or read cookie files created by other
sites. Pimpernel Games uses cookies to track user traffic patterns when
you register as a user, and when you click on an advertisement.
4. Feedback
Our users have the option to provide us with feedback and also to report
"bugs" (defects) in our games. This feedback is read and reviewed by
Pimpernel Games employees and forwarded to the appropriate department
in our company (i.e., engineering, marketing, etc.). Both the feedback
and "bug" reporting forms ask for the user's screen name and an e-mail
address and may ask what browser and version of browser the user has
on their computer. The information and email address may be used in
case we need further information about a reported "bug" or for other
feedback-related purposes, and could therefore be distributed to third
parties. Our feedback section is designed to be used in a number of
ways. Users can report on abusive players (which are identified by their
screen name) a request features or games to our service, pass along
compliments or gripes, and enter various other comments. "Bug" reports
are entered by our users and contain information on the following: problems
with our registration process, problems with a specific game, browser
issues and compatibility problems, and other miscellaneous problems.
Feedback and "bug" reports, and the data therein, are primarily gathered
for our internal use, but may be distributed to third parties.
5. Member Surveys
We may occasionally run marketing-driven surveys on our site. These
surveys are used to fully understand our audience, to provide better
service, as a factor in determining new features and games to add to
our service and to collect more specific aggregate demographic information.
These surveys are always optional to the user. Data collected from member
surveys are used by our marketing department and could be shared with
our advertisers and sponsors.
6. Miscellaneous Information
Collected and Used In addition to the above-listed data that we collect
or track, we also display some non-personally identifiable data. These
items consist of player rating information (your skill level and ranking
on a particular game) and player games statistics (number of games played,
wins and losses, etc.) In the cases stated on the previous line, only
a player's screen name (their chosen "handle") will be displayed, and
no personally-identifiable information will be shown, unless the screen
name the user has chosen is somehow personally identifiable.
7. Use Of Public Chat Rooms
As part of our service, Pimpernel Games provides areas where players
can chat with other users. Users in these chat rooms are identified
solely by their user-created screen names on our service. Please remember,
however, that any information you disclose within this context/forum
becomes public knowledge. You should exercise caution before disclosing
any information to other users in a public chat room, and Pimpernel
Games is not responsible for any information you choose to disclose
to other users.
8. Business Associates
Our business associates are companies with whom Pimpernel Games has
established relationships with to provide communications services, games,
personalized marketing, prizes, and other products and services to Pimpernel
Games.
9. Security
Pimpernel Games has implemented security measures to protect against
the loss, misuse or alteration of the information under our control.
Once your information is in our possession we take every precaution
to protect it against unauthorized access.
