If you use a third-party social networking site or “SNS” (e.g., Facebook, Google +, etc.) to access and use any of our Services, you may be required to read and accept the applicable SNS’s separate terms of service (or terms of use) and privacy policy. We strongly encourage all Users to carefully examine the appropriate terms of service (or terms of use) and privacy policies for any and all online services that they wish to use.
2. Managing Your Information Preferences
We do not share your Personal Information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent. If you desire to opt out of having your Personal Information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes, please contact us and let us know by sending an email to support@vegasgames.com or by writing to us at Vegas Games Inc., Attn: Customer Service – Privacy, 850 Stanton Road, Suite D, Burlingame, CA 94010. If such a need should arise, we ask that you please include your full name, email address, mailing address, and a declaration stating that you do not want your Personal Information shared with third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
3. Information We Collect
Personally Identifiable Information
We collect information that personally identifies you or that could be used to identify or contact you (collectively, “Personal Information” or “PI”). Such Personal Information includes your name, full address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card number, billing information, devices’ IP addresses, and other such individually identifiable information if and when you choose to provide it to us and/or that you provide in connection with your Vegas Games profile or account. For example, you will be required to provide us with certain Personal Information when you register for one of our Services, or when you use any of our Apps or choose to make a purchase, and at other times when you elect to participate in any activities that are part of the Services. Please note that each time you use the Services, we automatically collect your devices’ IP addresses. Your decision whether to provide the requested information (or not) is entirely optional. We only collect Personal Information from you if you volunteer such information to us.
Unless you give us authorization to do so, we will not share, license, lease, sell or trade your Personal Information other than as referenced in this Privacy Policy. However, please understand that if you do not satisfy the minimum criteria for participation (e.g., minimum age requirements, residency requirements, geographical restrictions, etc.) and provide the minimum information that’s requested by us or any of our affiliates, you will not be authorized to use the Services or will not be able to participate in certain activities that are part of the Services or be able to use some or all of the features of the Services (e.g., be a contributor to a blog, or make a particular purchase, etc.).
Non-Personal Information
We also collect information that by itself cannot be used to identify or contact you, which includes demographic information (e.g., your age, gender, profession, etc.) (collectively, “Non-Personal Information”). Non-Personal Information also includes information regarding browser types, domain names, and other statistical data, that is automatically collected through the actions you take in connection with the Services (collectively, “Usage Data”). For example, in addition to your devices’ IP addresses as previously mentioned, each time you use one of the Services we automatically collect information regarding your web browser, operating system, internet service provider, webpages you view, and the time and duration of your visit to and use of the Services. This usage information is coupled with your username and profile, but we do not disclose the associated information to third parties. Non-Personal Information is used to help us garner insights into our Users, their interests, and their preferences, so that we are better able to create effective content for advertising and promotional purposes and so that we can design and develop more compelling versions of our casino games and other Apps.
We use log files (e.g., server log files or web log files), along with state-of-the-art tracking technologies (e.g., browser cookies, clear GIFs, etc.) and third-party SNS and mobile device software development kits to gather and analyze technical information and related data of or concerning our Services. Some forms of the tracking technologies that we use are linked to the user ID number(s) of your personal computer or mobile device. For more information on our use of cookies and other such tracking technologies, please review the relevant portion of Section 4, below (“How We Collect Information”).
Information You Provide to Us
We collect information that you choose to provide to us directly. For example, we collect information when you register with us and create an account, manage your user profile, participate in any interactive features of the Services, participate in a promotion or survey, request customer support, or choose to communicate with us for any other reason. Additionally, individuals who win prizes as a result of participating in any contests or sweepstakes may be required to provide certain Personal Information (e.g., the winner’s Social Security Number, street address, telephone number, etc.) for prize fulfillment and for tax purposes.
User Accounts
You are required to register with Vegas Games to access and use some of our Services. In completing the registration process, you must provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. The required information will vary depending on the activity and, for example, may include your age (or birth date), name, e-mail address, passwords, etc.
You may also create a user profile that is viewable by other users of the Services. Generally, a user profile includes a profile photo (or other digital image); user name(s); age and gender; miscellaneous information provided by you (e.g., hobbies, interests, etc.); particulars regarding your game play; and a user ID number (created by Vegas Games) that’s used to identify your account and profile.
We will only permit access to information that is considered “public” or that you have designated as “public” in your settings. Your name (including both your first and last names) and profile picture are considered “public,” and, as is true of any publicly available information, third-party search engines may index such information.
You may choose to import your address book contacts and/or manually enter e-mail addresses into your user profile or account information to (i) identify and locate your contacts that are using any of our Services; and/or (ii) invite your contacts to join you when you utilize a particular Service. Your designated contact information will be stored for the purpose of aiding you and your contacts to connect online so that you can play our Apps together and/or jointly participate in other aspects of the Services. If you do not want us to store your contacts, you must either refrain from sending requests to any of your contacts, or, if such a request has been sent, then you must terminate your account and create a new account where you refrain from sending any requests to any of your contacts.
We take your security seriously and will use diligent efforts to respect your privacy throughout our relationship. Please be advised that any password(s) that you choose to provide to Vegas Games so that we are able to access your address book contacts will not be stored or shared with any unaffiliated third parties.
Mobile Devices
Information collected from users through a mobile device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or other mobile communications or computing device, etc.) includes the mobile device identifier(s) (e.g., IP address, MAC address, etc.), name associated with the device, type of device, mobile device model, mobile phone number, the mobile carrier used with the device, country, geo-location, and email address. We will, at our discretion, create and assign an account number or other such identifier(s) to your device(s). If permission is granted, we will also access your contacts so that you may invite your friends to join you in playing one of our Apps or in connection with another aspect of the Services.
Social Networking Sites
The Services may be offered to you if you establish an account or profile for one or more of our Services using an SNS authentication option or applicable third-party authentication process. When you access or use one or more of our Apps through an SNS, or participate through an SNS in any other activity that’s part of the Services, you are granting the SNS permission to share information with us. This includes information such as your name, address, zip code, gender, age, profile picture, occupation, hobbies, and interests. Whenever you access and use the Services through an SNS, we collect information concerning your use in compliance with the applicable SNS’ separate terms of service (or terms of use) and privacy policy, in addition to the information collected from your SNS profile. When you choose to play any of our Apps by means of an SNS, you thereby authorize Vegas Games to collect, store, and use such information in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy. Additionally, this authorization will extend to the collection, storage, and use of the various types of information that you allow the SNS to provide to us through its Application Programming Interface (“API”) in conformance with the SNS’s platform guidelines and separate terms of service (or terms of use) and privacy policy. Vegas Games will access information that you allow depending on the particular App and the particular SNS that you choose to use in order to access and use the Services and/or any of our SNS-enabled Apps. Our ability to access and collect any such information submitted by or concerning you or any of your contacts is also affected by your privacy settings on the SNS, as well as those of your contacts. You can review and learn more about these settings by visiting the SNS that you use to play any of our Apps and reviewing their policies.
Billing Information
You will need to provide certain Personal Information to make a purchase and/or pay for certain activities or aspects of the Services. For example, such information will be required when acquiring a license for virtual currency, purchasing digital items, and/or obtaining upgrades or customized versions of any of our Apps. Vegas Games will collect your accurate, current, and complete billing information when it is necessary to complete a transaction. This may include your mailing address, as well as your e-mail address. If any update(s) to your billing information is required, you must make them promptly. For example, updates would include any changes with respect to your billing address, shipping address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date. Please review our Terms of Service, which describes the relevant terms and conditions regarding our billing practices and related activities, including, but not limited to, our billing practices.

This information is collected and stored through the use of log files, which includes IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of the Services.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Unless you decline, we use cookies (a small file placed on your computer to identify you and to obtain information regarding your personal computer or mobile device, browser, and use of the Services) when you access or use the Services. Our servers may automatically collect and store information about you through built-in tracking features (e.g., web beacons (an electronic file placed on a website that monitors traffic and usage of the site), tracking pixels, local shared objects, or tags). We use cookies and web beacons to improve Users’ experiences with the Services, such as, for example, pre-populating your username for an easier login experience.

We also monitor network traffic to make the Services available to all Users, and to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise attempt to cause damage or to undermine the security or integrity of the Services. We use mobile device application development kits (which include both hardware and software), metrics tools, and other analytics technologies to collect usage information. We, and various third-party service providers acting on our behalf, use log files and other tracking technologies, such as cookies, to collect and analyze certain technical information and data about your hardware system, including, without limitation, IP addresses, hard drive serial number, device types, device identifiers, browser types, browser language, referral and exit pages, website usage and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and ordering of such pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, game state, the date and time of activity on our Site or within any of our Apps, and other such information that relates to your access and use of the Services. In certain cases, we associate this information with your specific user ID number for our internal use. We link this information to Personal Information for these and other purposes, such as improving your experiences while using the Services and/or evaluating any future Apps and related services.
We do not use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect Personal Information unrelated to your device. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. We hope that all our Users are aware that they can adjust the settings of their particular web browser so that a warning is provided when attempts are made to place cookies on your computer or mobile device. You can reset your web browser to reject or decline all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent to your computer or mobile device. These settings may also allow you to limit the type of cookies that you allow. Please also be aware that flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies. Therefore, cookie management tools that are made available in a particular web browser might not remove flash cookies. To learn more about managing flash cookies, we recommend that you visit adobe.com and make the appropriate changes to your privacy settings. However, please be aware that if you disable cookies, certain features of the Service may not work, and you may lose access to certain features or functionality that are offered as part of the Services. This is because Vegas Games’ cookies are an important technology that allow us to monitor your activities when you elect to use the Services, which information is, in turn, used by us to make improvements to the Services, to make updates and other modifications to our Apps, and to enhance your experience when using the Services. Additionally, please take note that unaffiliated third parties that display or perform advertisements in or around our Apps, or on our Site, may also use cookies or other tracking technologies. Please note, however, that the policies and practices of such third parties are outside of the control of Vegas Games and are subject to the separate privacy policies of each third-party advertising company or other persons or entities that are not affiliated with Vegas Games.

5. How We Use Collected Information
In most cases we use the information that we collect to better understand our Users, including to perform statistical analyses of our Users’ preferences, and to help us improve our Services, including to troubleshoot issues, to develop future implementations of the Services and to evaluate and improve our marketing and promotional materials and activities. We also use Personal Information to provide you with access to and use of the Services; respond to your specific requests and inquiries; process your transactions and fulfill your orders; provide you notifications, solicit your feedback and input, notify you of new products and services, and otherwise communicate with you about the Services; enforce our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use; and protect the functioning, security and integrity of the Services.
We also combine non-personal information with Personal Information to assist us in determining what kind of content or related services you would likely enjoy, to assist third-party sponsors and advertisers in targeting their communications regarding particular products or services, and to enable the Services to be customized by you.
6. Sharing and Disclosing Information
We do not disclose Personal Information to third parties without your consent except as expressly set forth in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose to third parties certain Usage Data regarding the Services.

Third-Party Providers
We may establish a business relationship with other persons or entities whom we believe are trustworthy and who have confirmed that their privacy practices are capable of maintaining the confidentiality, security, and integrity of information that is provided to them and who provide assurances that they will maintain the information in such a manner (collectively, “Third-Party Providers”). For example, we may contract with Third-Party Providers to undertake a particular service on our behalf (e.g., responding to requests, order fulfillment, payment processing, data analysis, e-mail services, hosting services, data storage, customer service, to provide marketing and promotional information, and to enhance your activities and experiences while accessing and using the Services. If any Third-Party Provider needs to have access to any Personal Information that you provide to us, we will provide the applicable Third-Party Provider with only the information that is needed to perform the corresponding services. Each Third-Party Provider must comply with our privacy policies and maintain the confidentiality of the information that we share with them by using reasonable security procedures and practices that are suitable according to the nature of the information involved, and that are capable of protecting your Personal Information and maintaining the confidentiality, security and integrity of such information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Third-Party Providers are prohibited from using Personal Information for any purpose other than providing their contracted service(s) on our behalf.
In some situations, we provide services in cooperation with another company or other such entity. In such cases, it may be necessary to share your Personal Information with such Third-Party Providers to facilitate the performance of the affected services. However, before we do so, we will identify the Third-Party Provider and request your permission to share your Personal Information.
Friends and Other Vegas Games Users
The Services are designed, support and encourage interaction among our Users and other individuals who access and use the Services. For that reason, your SNS friends may be allowed to see your name, profile photo and your game-related activities. Within our Apps, your SNS friends and other Users are able to see your game profile, which may include your name or a “game name” (e.g., a made-up, anonymous account name) and your profile photo and related information, which in some cases may reveal your SNS User ID or Vegas Games ID. For example, in Vegas Games’ Texas Hold ‘Em Poker App, any User may encounter your game profile if you are playing at the same table. Access to a Vegas Games ID or your SNS User ID allows other Users to view the public information associated with your related SNS account or the account that you choose to establish with Vegas Games. Other Users may also be able to send you requests asking you to join in playing a particular App at a given time or may contact you with friend requests through the applicable SNS’s communication channels.
Third-Party Advertisers
We care about our Users’ privacy concerns and do not actively share Personal Information with third-party advertisers, search providers or online advertising networks (collectively, “Third-Party Advertisers”) for their direct marketing purposes, unless you provide us with your consent to disclose such information for such purposes. These companies collect and use information about your use of the Services provide you with advertisements regarding certain goods and services that may be of interest to you. Advertisements may be shown on and within the Services, and by means of third-party websites.

The information gathering practices of any and all such third parties are subject to their own policies, and we encourage you to read and become familiar with the applicable third-party privacy policies. You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance web sites, which offer information about Internet advertising companies, as well as methods for opting-out of their information collection practices.
Please be aware that our collection, use and disclosure of anonymous, aggregated data and related information that does not personally identify any specific individuals are not subject to any of the restrictions described in this Privacy Policy.
Special Offers
Our Services may display one or more special offers that are hosted by a third-party sponsor. Such special offers typically allow third-party sponsors (which may include Third-Party Advertisers) to provide virtual currency to you in exchange for completing a particular marketing offer.
Please be aware that any such special offers are not made or otherwise provided by Vegas Games. These offers will be displayed to you as the result of certain information being collected regarding you or your mobile or non-mobile device (e.g., anonymous demographic information, etc.). If you choose to click on one of these special offer advertisements, you likely will be directed to a site that is not owned or operated by Vegas Games or a partnering SNS.

You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to transfer your Personal Information to a successor-in-interest or assignee should a transfer of ownership, merger, consolidation or other form of acquisition be made with another company, or the sale of all or a portion of our assets relating to the Services be undertaken, or some other form of business transfer occur.

12. Information Security
Vegas Games is committed to enhancing our Users’ enjoyment of the Services, and we recognize the importance of protecting and safeguarding our Users’ privacy and their Personal Information. To protect the security and integrity of the information submitted by or about you, we have adopted security measures that we believe are reasonable and appropriate to secure your Personal Information. We strive to enable the secure transmission of information concerning you (whether submitted by you or collected by us or on our behalf), and we employ industry-standard techniques that are designed and intended to protect your information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When you send sensitive information, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (“SSL”). We also take steps to secure the Personal Information that you choose to provide to us on servers that are located in controlled, secure environments, which are protected from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. Only employees or contractors of Vegas Games or one or more of its affiliates, who have a bona fide need to have access to your Personal Information on behalf of Vegas Games or its affiliates or other business partners are provided with access to such information. In addition, any employee or contractor of Vegas Games or any of its affiliates or business partners who violates any of the material terms or conditions of this Privacy Policy is subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of his or her employment or contractor relationship.
However, notwithstanding our best intentions and commitments (as expressly set forth in this Privacy Policy) to guard your information and prevent unauthorized access, use, damage, loss, modification, alteration, misappropriation or disclosure by third parties, please be advised that there is always risk involved in transmitting information over the Internet and/or by means of mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, tablet computers, personal digital assistants, or other handheld computing or communications devices). No method of transmission over the Internet is (or indeed is ever likely to be) completely secure, and there can be no guarantee that any information that is submitted by or collected about you is completely safe from any human or machine processing error, damage, loss, modification, alteration, misappropriation, or unauthorized use or disclosure. There is always a risk that others could find a way to bypass or otherwise defeat our security systems. As a result, despite our adopted security measures and practices for preventing possible breaches of our systems or records, we cannot provide any guarantee of absolute security, nor can we guarantee that we will never experience any act of unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other form of breach, or warrant the security and privacy of any information that you choose to transmit to Vegas Games or any of its affiliates via the Internet, and you do so at your sole risk and expense (e.g., fees for Internet services, etc.). We would like to encourage you, along with all other Users who access our Services, and who choose to use the Services, to take precautionary measures to protect your Personal Information (e.g., protect all account passwords, log out of an account when ending a session, etc.). The unauthorized use of any account that you elect to establish with Vegas Games or any of its affiliates may occur as a result of your SNS account being hacked or otherwise compromised, so please be careful to safeguard your account information for any SNS or third-party service provider that you elect to use to access and use our Services.
If you have questions regarding any of the security measures that we have adopted and implemented, please feel free to contact us at legal@vegasgames.com.

14. California Privacy Rights
For all California residents, please read and review our California Consumer Privacy Act Notice
California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits Users who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. As noted above, our policy is not to share a User’s personal information that is collected online or disclose such information to any third parties for direct marketing purposes without the User’s consent. This can be done by “opting in” to receive such marketing or advertising information from a third party at the time that the User chooses to participate in a particular marketing event or promotional activity through Vegas Games in connection with the Site, the Service, and/or any of our Apps (e.g., a sweepstakes or contest, etc.). Furthermore, should a User ask us to share his or her information in connection with the direct marketing purposes of any third party (or third parties), we will endeavor to make sure that we only share such information in connection with the direct marketing purposes and related promotional activities approved by the relevant User, as we do not have a policy of sharing information with any third party (other than our service providers) on an ongoing and recurring basis. Please do not opt-in if you want to avoid the disclosure of your PII to a third party for its direct marketing efforts. As importantly, if you would like to opt-out of the disclosure of your personal information to any third party for its direct marketing efforts at any time after initially giving your approval, or have a question about our disclosure of your personal information, please contact us at support@vegasgames.com.
