This Privacy Policy is presented by billsgame.org to apprise you of our protocols and practices concerning the acquisition, utilization, and dissemination of personal data obtained from users of Bills Game websites. Our Privacy Policy pertains solely to information that you furnish to us via our Sites. It is subject to periodic revisions, and we will apprise you of any significant modifications by publishing the updated Privacy Policy on the Site. We recommend that you review this policy frequently to stay informed of any changes.

As employed in this policy, the terms “utilizing” and “manipulating” information encompass the utilization of cookies on a computer, subjecting the information to statistical or other forms of analysis, and employing or accessing information in any manner. This includes, but is not restricted to, the collection, storage, assessment, alteration, deletion, utilization, consolidation, disclosure, and transfer of information within the United States or across international borders.

Information Collection and Use

Our main objectives in gathering data are to enhance and optimize our services, features, and content, to manage your Membership effectively (collectively referred to as the “Service”), and to facilitate users in enjoying and effortlessly navigating the Site. Additionally, we may utilize your information to gain a deeper comprehension of the usage patterns of our Site and Service.

Personally Identifiable Information

When you sign up with us via the Site, either as a Member or when opting to create your own profile webpage, we will request personally identifiable information from you. This pertains to information about you that, either on its own or when combined with other identifiers, can be utilized to get in touch with you or ascertain your identity (“Personal Information”). Personal Information encompasses, but is not restricted to, your name, email address, and postal address. Our primary utilization of your Personal Information is to furnish the Service and manage your inquiries.

We collect additional information provided during registration and the management and customization of your profile webpage. This information, referred to as “Non-Identifying Information,” includes details such as zip code and individual preferences. Non-Identifying Information may be considered part of your Personal Information if combined with other identifiers, such as your street address, in a way that allows for your identification. However, when these pieces of information are taken alone or combined solely with other non-identifying information, such as your viewing preferences, they are considered Non-Identifying Information. We may merge your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and combine it with data collected from other users in order to enhance your experience, improve the quality and value of our service, and analyze and comprehend how our site and service are utilized.

We may utilize your Personal Information to reach out to you regarding newsletters, marketing or promotional materials, and other relevant information. Members who consent to the terms and conditions of the billsgame.org Terms of Service Agreement are offered the chance to opt-in for receiving such communications from us in the future. If you ever choose to discontinue receiving these communications, kindly refer to the unsubscribe instructions provided in any of the communications or update your “user preferences” information. (Refer to “Changing or Deleting Information,” below.)

When accessing the Site, whether as a Member or a non-registered user, our servers automatically record Log Data, which comprises information transmitted by your browser during website visits. This Log Data may encompass details like your computer’s IP address, browser type, or the domain you are visiting from. We utilize this information to oversee and analyze the usage of the Site and the Service, as well as for the technical administration of the Site. It is important to note that we do not consider Log Data as Personal Information, nor do we combine it with other Personal Information. However, we may aggregate, analyze, and evaluate such information for the same purposes as mentioned above in relation to other Non-Identifying Information.

Cookies

We employ the use of “cookies” on our website, similar to many other websites, in order to gather information. A cookie is a small file of data that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive for the purpose of record-keeping. These cookies serve two main purposes. Firstly, we utilize persistent cookies to store your registration ID and login password for future logins to the website. Secondly, we utilize session ID cookies to enable specific features of the website, gain a better understanding of your interactions with the site, and monitor overall usage by users and web traffic routing. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are automatically deleted from your computer once you close your browser. Additionally, third-party advertisers on our website may also place or access cookies on your browser. You have the ability to instruct your browser, through modifying its settings, to either stop accepting cookies or prompt you before accepting a cookie from any visited websites. However, please note that if you choose not to accept cookies, certain portions of the website may not be accessible or certain functionalities of the service may be limited.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We may disclose aggregated information that excludes Personal Information, as well as Non-Identifying Information and Log Data, to third parties for the purpose of industry analysis, demographic profiling, and other relevant purposes. Rest assured that any aggregated information shared will not include your Personal Information.

To ensure the smooth delivery of our Service, we collaborate with external organizations and individuals who assist us in various tasks related to our Site. These tasks include maintenance, database management, web analytics, and improving Site features. Additionally, they help us evaluate how our Site and Service are being used. These third-party entities are given access to your Personal Information solely for the purpose of carrying out these responsibilities on our behalf. They are obligated to maintain confidentiality and are prohibited from disclosing or using your information for any other purpose.

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, billsgame.org reserves the right to sell, transfer, or otherwise share its assets, including your Personal Information. Similarly, in the unfortunate event of bankruptcy, billsgame.org may take such actions. However, rest assured that if billsgame.org becomes involved in any of these scenarios, we will notify you beforehand about the transfer of your Personal Information and any changes in the privacy policy that may arise as a result.

Changing or Deleting Your Information

Members have the option to review, update, correct, or delete their Personal Information in their registration profile by contacting us. However, if all such information is deleted, the account may become deactivated. To request the deletion of your record from our system, please contact us and we will make every effort to fulfill your request. For privacy contact information, please refer below.

Security & International Transfer

billsgame.org prioritizes the security of your information and takes extensive measures to ensure its protection. We utilize administrative, physical, and electronic safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to your data. It is important to note that your information might be transferred to and stored on computers situated outside of your jurisdiction, including different states, provinces, or countries. In such cases, the privacy laws governing these locations may not offer the same level of protection as those in your jurisdiction.

We want to assure you that if there is ever a breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored Personal Data (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification), we will promptly inform you. We will do this either through email or by posting a clear notice on this Site. Our priority is to notify you as quickly as possible and without any unnecessary delay. However, we will also ensure that we balance this with the legitimate needs of law enforcement and any necessary measures to assess the extent of the breach and restore the integrity of our data system.

It is important to understand that our linking to a website or displaying an advertisement does not indicate our endorsement, authorization, or affiliation with that third party. Additionally, we do not endorse the privacy or information security policies or practices of these third-party websites, nor do we have control over them.
