When you register to play on PCHGames.com, we collect personal information including
name, address, birthday and email address. We may use this information to contact
you for lost username or password purposes, to present you with advertising when
you visit PCHGames that you may find of interest and to send you the PCHGames.com
newsletter. The newsletter is emailed to you only if you indicated that you would
like to receive it when you register for PCHGames.com. Each time the newsletter
is emailed to you, you will have the opportunity to unsubscribe.

profile using the "Profiles" menu. The information collected, such as name, age,
sex and location is displayed to other users and is completely voluntary. PCHGames.com
does not require users to create a user profile.

PCHGames.com collects information needed to fulfill prizes and to track and verify
compliance with PCHGames.com policies and federal, state, and local laws.
Unless otherwise indicated by the provisions of this Privacy Policy, information
specific to a user's personal identity will not be revealed to third parties unless
the user “opts-in” to receive other specific information such as partner and advertiser
offers.
We may utilize the services of third party service providers and subcontractors
to collect or maintain such information for administrative purposes and to improve
the user experience when you visit PCHGames.com.
The information you supply to us when you register and set up your personal PCHGames.com
account is additionally used to provide our basic services and for the purpose of
awarding prizes. Because we store your personal information, we don't have to ask
you to re-register each time you visit our site.
PCHGames.com uses “cookies” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file
that most major Web sites write to your hard drive for record keeping purposes when
you visit them. Cookies allow PCHGames.com to measure activity on the Site and to
improve your user experience.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers, which is standard in the
Internet industry. PCHgames.com does not control these cookies, and these cookies
are not subject to PCHGames.com’s privacy policies. Most browsers are initially
set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to
alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of
the Site will not function properly if you do so.
PCHGames.com may also disclose personal information to law enforcement or appropriate
civil authorities when we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with a judicial
proceeding, court order, legal proceeding or investigation. We may also disclose
such information when it is necessary to address potential or actually injury or
interference with our rights, property, users or others who may be harmed or suffer
loss or damage.
PCHGames.com is required by law to provide personal information regarding prizes
or rewards of $600 or more to the IRS. This information may include information
such as a player's social security number, name and address. Except as provided
in this section, PCHGames.com does not share social security numbers with any organization
other than the IRS for tax-reporting purposes.
Collection and use of players' IP addresses
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you surf the Web. Web servers - the big computers that "serve up" Web pages - automatically
identify your computer by its IP address.
PCHGames.com collects IP addresses to analyze trends, administer our site, anonymously
track players' movements on our site, and to gather broad demographic information
for statistical purposes. When guests request pages from the Site, our servers log
those guests' IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to any personal information,
so that while a player's session will be logged, the player remains anonymous -
to us, and to anyone else.
We use IP addresses in only a few types of situations. We may use these addresses
to identify a player when it's necessary to enforce compliance with our policies
or terms of service, or to protect our service, Site, customers or others. We may
also use these addresses to capture time stamps so that we can determine peak and
off-peak load times. These addresses may also be used to determine browser type
for demographic information. PCHGames.com also may be required to disclose IP address
information when required in legal proceedings or by law enforcement agencies.
Children and Privacy
PCHGames.com does not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 13.
Your acceptance of this privacy policy
By using the Site, you indicate your agreement with the terms and conditions of this
privacy policy. If you do not agree with this privacy policy, then do not use the
Site. We reserve the right to change the terms of this privacy policy. We will notify
you of any material changes to this policy via email or by posting a prominent notice
on the Site stating that the privacy policy has been updated. We will give you an
opportunity to "opt out" of having your information collected and used pursuant
to this materially different privacy policy. Also, we encourage you to review this
privacy policy on a regular basis. Last update: August, 2009.
