IncrediBots.com,
IncrediBotsGold.com and IncrediBots2.com (individually and collectively, "IncrediBots")
are owned and operated by Big Fish Games, Inc. ("Big Fish Games"). Big Fish Games and the IncrediBots team
have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy.
The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices. By
visiting IncrediBots, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy
Policy.
INFORMATION
THAT WE MAY COLLECT
Personally

We collect no personally identifiable information when you create an IncrediBots account. We may collect the following information if you sign up to become an IncrediBots supporter:
- First name, last name, e-mail address, billing
address, phone number
- credit or debit card information, depending
on your form of payment. We do not store any credit card information after
your transaction is complete.

When a user visits IncrediBots,
we may collect the IP address that requested the display of this Web site.
Sign Up and
Survey information:
Any information you provide to us
as part of your use of IncrediBots will be stored as entered.
Cookies:
Cookies are small data files that
are stored on your computer by Web sites. Through your Web browser, cookies are
only used by the Web site that wrote the cookie. Data stored in a cookie from IncrediBots
is encrypted and only accessible by the Big Fish Games Web sites. Personal
information stored in our cookies is limited to your username and the e-mail
address associated with your account.
Other Information
Collected:
The Web browser or client
software that you use to access IncrediBots may transmit certain geographic
information and information regarding the capabilities or features of your
computer and/or software to us. We may also track other types of information,
such as what games users play, how long our users have participated in
IncrediBots, the last time a user visited IncrediBots, and whether a user has
won any sweepstakes, contests or other promotions featured on IncrediBots.
SECURITY OF
COLLECTED INFORMATION
We take all reasonable precautions to
safeguard the privacy of your data.
All data that we collect is stored on one or more secure database
servers that cannot be accessed from outside our corporate network. Outside of
our network, the only access to this data is that provided through our Web
sites. Through our sites, access to personal information is completely
controlled by user-defined e-mail addresses and passwords. Within our company,
access to data is secured through a private user ID and password known only to
personnel who have a need to know such information to perform their essential
job functions. All employees of Big Fish Games are legally bound by a
nondisclosure agreement that prevents the disclosure of any corporate or
customer information to other parties.
USE OF
COLLECTED INFORMATION
We use your username, e-mail
address, and password to uniquely identify you as an IncrediBots user. We may
use or display your username for the purposes of rankings, competitions or sweepstakes,
message board/chat identification, and/or game high scores.
If you opt in to receiving our
newsletters and e-mail campaigns, we may use your contact information to
process our newsletters and/or e-mail campaigns. Your contact information will allow us to notify you
about new features, enhancements, resolution of site problems, handle and/or
route your customer support questions and issues, and inform you of upgrade
opportunities, sweepstakes, contests, prizes, and/or special events.
We use cookies to enhance your
online experience. The information
in cookies may enable you to automatically sign in when you visit IncrediBots,
and offers other operational site activities.
We may use other identifying
information collected to calculate aggregate statistics about our user
community or for security purposes.
SHARING
INFORMATION
We will not resell your
information to any third parties.
We will not share your information with any third parties, except that
we may disclose your personal information to third parties who perform services
for us. We do not control the
activities of such third party vendors. While we cannot guarantee that they
will adhere to the same privacy and security procedures as Big Fish Games, we
will take all reasonable precautions under the circumstances to ensure the
protection of your personal information.
We may also disclose your information if there is a violation of the IncrediBots
Terms of Use or if we have a
good faith belief that the law requires it. Big Fish Games may provide other aggregate, non-personally
identifiable information about our user community to partners with whom we do
business.
As Big Fish Games continues to grow,
we might sell or buy certain business units. In such transactions, customer
information is generally one of the transferred assets, but would remain
subject to the protections described in this Privacy Policy (unless you consent
otherwise). Also, in the unlikely
event that Big Fish Games or substantially all of its assets are acquired,
customer information would in most cases be one of the transferred assets.
Apart from what is described above, you will receive
notice when information about you might otherwise go to third parties, and you
will have an opportunity to choose not to share that information.
E-MAIL/OPT-IN
When you create an IncrediBots
account, you may sign up to receive one or more of our newsletters. At any
time, you may opt-out of receiving these newsletters by selecting the "unsubscribe"
link at the bottom of any newsletter. Big Fish Games treats each of its
consumer offerings individually, so if you are receiving mailings from more
than one area of our website, if you want to unsubscribe you must do so with
respect to each such area individually.
LINKS TO THIRD PARTY
SITES
Web sites that link to or from IncrediBots
may collect personal information about you. This IncrediBots Privacy Policy
does not apply to, and cannot control the activities of, other Web sites.
CHAT &
MESSAGING
IncrediBots may operate message
boards and/or chat areas where users can exchange ideas and communicate with each
another. When posting to a message board or chat area, the information is being
made publicly available in an online environment. Any information posted is the
sole responsibility of the individual user.
CHILDREN
IncrediBots does not offer products for
purchase by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from
children. If you are under 13, you
may use and access IncrediBots only with the involvement of a parent or
guardian.
Big Fish Games respects
the privacy of parents and children and is committed to complying with the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act. If a
parent believes that his or her child has submitted personal information to Big
Fish Games, he or she can contact us via e-mail at privacy@bigfishgames.com or postal
mail at the address listed below. We will promptly delete the information upon
learning that it relates to a child under the age of 13. We recognize the importance of
safeguarding the privacy of children and encourage parents to check and monitor
their children's use of online activities regularly.
