PRIVACY POLICY
MyCalendar (collectively, "MyCalendar" or
"we"), under parent company K-Factor Media LLC, respects the privacy rights of our online users and is
committed to protecting the personal information collected about or provided by
you. We have adopted this Online Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy")
to guide how we store, collect, manage and use the personal information you
provided in connection with the Service .
Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to
information submitted and collected by MyCalendar through use of the Service in any way whether on the
Social Networking Site (as defined in the Terms of Use) or otherwise online, but does not apply to information that may be collected
offline or collected through any other method including your use of any web
site MyCalendar's affiliated entities may operate. Moreover, this Privacy
Policy applies to the Service, but not to websites maintained by other
companies or organizations to which we may provide links. When you link to
these websites, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are therefore not
responsible for the content or activities provided or created on such sites.
By using and accessing the Service, you
signify your assent to our Online Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this
Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service. We reserve the right to make changes
to this Privacy Policy. If we make a material change to this Privacy Policy, we
will notify you by posting the change in this Privacy Policy and, if necessary,
give you additional choices regarding such change. Please check back from time
to time to ensure that you are aware of these changes. Your continued use of the
Service will signify your acceptance of these changes.
Information Collected
In order to give you the best experience in use of the Service, MyCalendar may collect information about you from your account on the Social Networking Site, but only if you voluntarily provide it to us, in accordance with the policies and terms of the Social Networking Site. Additionally, we may obtain information from you through your Service registration, your access and participation in message boards, comments, etc on the Service; your email of a question to our customer service desk; or your purchase of a virtual product of any type. Further, we may ask you for personal information (such as name, phone number, or email address) if you choose to sign up for any particular Service we offer (such as a newsletter or reminder service). In all such cases, the information provided will not be disclosed to third parties and will be used solely for the purpose of providing you with the Service.
The types of personal information collected in conjunction
with the activities listed above will vary depending on the activity. The
requested information may include: (i) your name, (ii) mailing address, (iii)
telephone number, (iv) email address, and, for those purchasing products or
services online, credit card and billing information; and (v) information about
the identity of your friends.
For some activities, MyCalendar may also ask you to provide other non-personal
information such as: (i) your age or date of birth; (ii) your gender; (iii)
your game and platform preferences; (iv) information about the hardware you may
own and/or games you may have recently purchased; (v) your interests, websites,
friend information and fan pages; and, (vi) other service-related
information (collectively referred to as "demographic information"). If
demographic information is collected for an activity that also requires
personal information, MyCalendar may combine your demographic information with
your personal information. Before providing the Service any email addresses or phone numbers of your friends, you should obtain their consent.
You may provide us with another person's email address or phone number to invite that person to participate in the Service, or to provide you with information for use on the Service. MyCalendar may but is not obligated to use this information to contact the person to join the Service and in all events will do so only with your express permission. In addition, we may help connect you to your friends who already use our Service based on such information.
The information you provide to MyCalendar will be used for the following reasons:
MyCalendar will only use the personal information collected about you from Social Networking Site for the operation of the Service in accordance with the policies and terms of the social network. MyCalendar does not rent, lease, loan, sell, voluntarily distribute or redistribute your personal information to any unaffiliated third parties.
MyCalendar may use your email address or other personal
information to send you a newsletter, marketing or advertising materials, or service
announcements that tell you about updates to our Privacy Policy, changes in
pricing, changes to our online service or customer service policies, and other
related service changes. MyCalendar will not voluntarily disclose this personal
information to unaffiliated third parties for any other purpose. Information
collected either directly from you or from the Social Networking Site is solely
used in the operation of the Service. For example, personal and/or demographic
information collected through one of the activities set forth above may be used for our internal
demographic studies, so we can constantly improve the online products and
services we provide you and better meet your needs. Additionally, we may use
information that we collected to ensure that someone who is cheating is
excluded, and to enforce our rights under our Terms of Service.
No matter what method we use to collect information and no matter how we use that information, we will only collect the information deemed reasonably necessary to fulfill your online requests and our legitimate business objectives, and such information will not be provided to any third parties.
Consistent with MyCalendar's Copyright and Intellectual
Property Policy and in its sole discretion, we reserve the right to remove any
of your personal information or content from the Service if we receive a notice
of intellectual property infringement or other complaint.
Warning Note about Message Boards
Note that whenever you give out personal information in public areas such as on
our message board, that information can be collected and used by people you do
not know. While we strive to protect those who wish to participate in these
activities, we cannot guarantee the security and privacy of any information
that you post in these areas and you acknowledge this fact.
Other Disclosure of Your Personal Information
Notwithstanding any other terms of this Privacy Policy, we
may disclose personal information in the good faith belief that we are required
to do so by law, including but not limited to disclosure to law enforcement or
other government officials in connection with an investigation of fraud,
intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may
expose you or us to legal liability.
In addition, in the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy,
or other similar event, customer information may be transferred to MyCalendar's
successor or assign, if permitted by and done in accordance with applicable
law.
We may also share aggregate information about our visitors to our Service. For
example, we may say a particular game title's audience is X% female and Y%
male. This data is used to customize the content and advertising of our Service
to deliver better experience for our visitors. It can also help to tailor our
products and services to meet the needs of our customers.
We may send to your web browser, directly or in directly, advertisements you
see when you visit our Service. However, we may allow other companies, called
third party ad servers, to serve advertisements within our Service. This
Privacy Policy does not apply to, and cannot control the activities of, these
other companies. If you want to prevent a third party ad server from sending
or reading cookies on your computer, you must visit the company's web sites
individually and opt-out.
If you choose not to submit personal information when requested, you may not be able to use many of the features the Service offers.
Passive Means of Information Collection (Cookies, IP addresses, etc.)
Cookies
We may use cookies in the operation of the Service. A "cookie" is a
small bit of record-keeping information that sites often store on a user's
computer. Cookies are typically used to quickly identify a user's computer and
to "remember" things about the user's visit. For example, we may use
cookies to keep track of your preferences and your username and password. Information
contained in a cookie may be linked to your personal information for this
purpose. You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies
are being sent to your computer, although this may affect your ability to use
many of the features of the Service.
IP Addresses
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is used by computers on the
network to identify your computer every time you log on to the Internet. Although
we do not generally collect IP addresses, we may collect and use your IP address
when we feel it is necessary to protect our service, websites, customers, or
others.
If you use the Service, we may collect other unique numbers associated
with a computer's identity on a network.
Log Files
Other information that may be passively collected by MyCalendar is in the form of
logs - files that record website activity, including how many "hits"
a particular web page is getting (a.k.a. "navigational data"). These
entries are generated anonymously, and enable us to gather statistics about
users' browsing habits, assess overall website activity, track interest in
advertised sales, and maintain website security. We also use the log file
entries for our internal marketing and demographic studies, so we can
constantly improve the online services we provide you. Log files are used
internally only, and may be combined with data collected via cookies to help us
aggregate behavior patterns of registered users.
Privacy Policy and Third Party Web Sites, Links, Advertisements and Services
You should be aware that while you are using our Service, you may be directed to other sites that are beyond our control and for which we are not responsible. Additionally, third parties provide advertisements and offer other products and services to you when you are using our Service, which may receive your IP address or other technology such as cookies, web beacons and the like. By using the Service, you consent to such use by third parties of your personal information, which is subject to the privacy policies of these third parties.
You should consult the privacy policies of these third parties for more detailed information.
