Information Sharing and Disclosure

ThePlayr.com does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies except to provide products or services you've requested, when we have your permission, or under the following circumstances:

• We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or with ThePlayr.com under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use your personal information to help ThePlayr.com communicate with you about offers from ThePlayr.com and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information.
• We respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.
• We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of ThePlayr.com's terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
• We transfer information about you if ThePlayr.com is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, ThePlayr.com will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

ThePlayr.com may display targeted advertisements based on personal information. Advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria—for example, men ages 18-24 from a particular geographic area.

• ThePlayr.com does not provide any personal information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted ad. However, by interacting with or viewing an ad you are consenting to the possibility that the advertiser will make the assumption that you meet the targeting criteria used to display the ad.
• ThePlayr.com advertisers include non-financial companies (such as poker rooms, stores etc.).


Cookies

ThePlayr.com may set and access ThePlayr.com cookies on your computer.

ThePlayr.com lets other companies that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other companies do not have access to ThePlayr.com's cookies.

ThePlayr.com uses web beacons to access ThePlayr.com cookies inside and outside our network of web sites and in connection with ThePlayr.com products and services.

Information supplied by cookies can help us to analyse the profile of our visitors and help us to provide you with a better user experience.


What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

Cookies record information about your online preferences and allow us to tailor the websites to your interests. Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. The last of these means that certain personalised services cannot then be provided to that user and accordingly you may not be able to take full advantage of all of the ThePlayr.com features. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.

During the course of any visit to ThePlayr.com, the pages you see, along with a cookie, are downloaded to your device. Many websites do this, because cookies enable website publishers to do useful things like find out whether the device (and probably its user) has visited the website before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit.


Your Ability to Edit and Delete Your Account Information and Preferences

General
You can edit your ThePlayr.com Account Information at any time.

We reserve the right to send you certain communications relating to the ThePlayr.com service, such as service announcements, administrative messages and the ThePlayr.com Newsletter, that are considered part of your ThePlayr.com account, without offering you the opportunity to opt out of receiving them.

You can delete your ThePlayr.com account by contacting ThePlayr.com support.


Confidentiality and Security

We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs.


Changes to this Privacy Policy

ThePlayr.com may update this policy. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the primary email address specified in your ThePlayr.com account or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
