one40games Privacy Policy

We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can't stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Below is our privacy policy, which incorporates these goals:

one40games, LLC ("one40games"), a division of Surging Systeams, LLC, operates several contest websites including one40games.com and twittyquestions.com. It is one40games's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors
Like most website operators, one40games collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. one40games’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how one40games’s visitors use its website. From time to time, one40games may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

one40games also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. one40games does not use such information to identify its visitors, however, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally Identifying Information
Certain visitors to one40games’s websites choose to interact with one40games in ways that require one40games to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that one40games gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who register to play Twitty Questions to provide an email address. Those who win contests and games sponsored by one40games are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to award the prizes. In each case, one40games collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with one40games. one40games does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities or collecting prizes.

Aggregated Statistics
one40games may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. one40games may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, one40games does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally Identifying Information
one40games discloses potentially personally identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on one40games’s behalf or to provide services available at one40games’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using one40games’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. one40games will not rent or sell potentially personally identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, one40games discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when one40games believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of one40games, third parties or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of a one40games website and have supplied your email address, one40games may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with one40games and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. one40games takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally identifying information.
