Vareos™ Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 14, 2011
Savarese Software Research Corporation has formulated the Vareos™ Privacy Policy to describe how it uses information collected through the Vareos™ Web site (“Web Site”) and through use of the Vareos™ online software service (“Service”). The Vareos™ Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection of information by any other means or by third parties.
Each time you access the Web Site or use the Service, the version of this Privacy Policy effective at that time will apply. Therefore, each time you access the Web Site or use the Service, you should check the date listed at the head of the Vareos™ Terms and Conditions. If that date is later than the date of your last Web Site access or Service use, you should review any changes to this Privacy Policy and the rest of the Terms and Conditions.
If at any time you find this privacy policy unacceptable, you must immediately stop accessing the Web Site and stop using the Service.
Personal Information
You do not have to provide Savarese Software Research Corporation with personally identifying information (e.g., name, telephone number, address, and/or email address) to access the Web Site. However, you may have to provide such information in order to use the Service. In addition, you may be required to provide such information in order to use portions of the Service requiring registration or payment. We reserve the right to collect personal information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests and our legitimate business objectives (e.g., for billing purposes).
Your failure to provide certain personally identifying information when requested will prevent certain features of the Service from functioning or will prevent Savarese Software Research Corporation from effectively responding to certain of your requests.
Other Information
Savarese Software Research Corporation may use Cookies to collect personally or non-personally identifying information in connection with the Web Site or Service. A Cookie is data that a Web site provides to your Web browser and your Web browser may store on your computer. Your Web browser provides that data back to the Web site each time you access the Web site. Cookies are used for different purposes, such as to identify you or store information required to complete a transaction.
Savarese Software Research Corporation uses common software tools to log and process information that Web browsers automatically provide (“Traffic Data”), such as IP addresses, browser type, requested URL, and referring URL.
Children
The Web Site and the Service are not directed to children under thirteen years old. Savarese Software Research Corporation does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen.
Information Use
Savarese Software Research Corporation, the Web Site, and the Service will use the personally identifying information you provide to perform the functions in connection with which you provide it. Savarese Software Research Corporation may disclose this information to third parties who assist Savarese Software Research Corporation in performing those functions (e.g., to complete a credit card transaction). Savarese Software Research Corporation reserves the right to disclose your personally identifying information when required to do so by law, in response to a subpoena or court order or other valid process, or when Savarese Software Research Corporation believes it is necessary to protect the property or rights of Savarese Software Research Corporation or third parties or the general public.
Traffic Data
Savarese Software Research Corporation collects and analyzes Traffic Data and Cookies to understand who is using the Web Site and Service and how they are using it. Savarese Software Research Corporation may release aggregate or statistically processed Traffic Data and information derived from Cookies, such as when reporting on site usage.
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Bankruptcy
Savarese Software Research Corporation reserves the right to transfer your personally identifying information to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy, or other sale of all or a portion of Savarese Software Research Corporation's assets. Personally identifying information submitted or collected before and/or after a transfer may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor organization.
Unaffiliated Sites
We reserve the right to include in the Web Site and/or Service links to sites not affiliated with Vareos™ or Savarese Software Research Corporation. For example, paid advertisements may be displayed on portions of the Service. If you visit an unaffiliated site by clicking on a link, we are not responsible for information you provide to that site and that information will not be protected by this Privacy Policy.
Personal Data Access and Updating
Savarese Software Research Corporation makes good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personally identifying information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected, or removed before processing such requests; and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort.
Online Discussion Forums, Chat Rooms, and Profiles
While accessing the Web Site and/or using the Service, you may choose to disclose information about yourself in discussion forums, chat rooms, or in creating a user profile. Information that you disclose in discussion forums, chat rooms, or in profile information is public information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in any of those places.
Other Public Data
Your participation in online social events, game matches, tournaments, or other online game events, is conditional upon you agreeing to us collecting, using, storing, transmitting and publicly displaying statistical data (such as your scores, rankings, and achievements) generated through your participation.
Data Security
Savarese Software Research Corporation maintains reasonable security procedures and practices to protect against the unauthorized access, use, modification, destruction or disclosure of your personally identifying information.
