Effective Date: January 1, 2009
At Social Sauce (“Muse Games”), we understand that privacy is important and are committed to protecting
the privacy of the users of our website. The following information is designed to help you better understand the
information we gather from our website, how we handle information once we gather it, whether we disclose it to anyone,
and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct, the information. Please note that this
Privacy Policy applies only to the
www.musegames.com website
and not to other companies’ or organizations’ sites to which we link. By visiting this website, you accept the practices
described in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collection
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience.
This allows us to provide features that most likely meet your needs, and to customize our website to make your experience easier.
Aggregate Data
We gather certain usage information like the number and frequency of visitors to our websites.
This information may include which URL you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using and your IP address.
We use such data only in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our users visit parts of our websites,
and do internal research on our users’ demographics, interests and behavior to better understand and serve you.
This type of aggregated, non-personally identifiable information may also be collected by third parties that support our services.
Personally Identifiable Information
If you register to use our website, we will request certain personally identifiable information about you, such as your first and
last name, birthday and email address and any other information that you wish to provide such as home address, phone number, gender,
occupation, e-mail address and credit/debit card number (collectively, “personally identifiable information”).
In addition, we may use such personally identifiable information to contact you and deliver information to you,
such as through e-mail updates, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, resolve disputes between users,
send system notices or community news, analyze website usage, improve our content and product offerings, and customize our website’s
content, layout and services.
Cookies
“Cookies” are small files placed on your hard drive; each web website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser
preferences allow it. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is set.
(Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.)
You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to login to our website.
Muse Games uses cookies to remember when you “sign in” to our websites, so that we can provide you with certain customized
information and services. Cookies also help us to provide customized services and information that is targeted to your interests.
We use cookies to tell us how and when pages in our website are visited, what our users’ technology preferences are
(such as what type of video player they use) and whether our website is functioning properly.
Additionally, you may encounter cookies or other similar devices on our website that are placed by third parties.
We do not control the use of cookies by third parties.
Sharing Information
As a matter of policy, we will not sell, share or rent information about you in ways different
from what is disclosed in this statement.
Unless you specifically decline, we may use personally identifiable information to contact you and deliver information
to you via your phone, address, email address, voice or text messages. Unless you specifically decline, we may also share
personally identifiable information with certain third parties so that these third parties can share information with you about
new products, services and promotions that we believe will interest you. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to
such usage and sharing of information. In addition, Muse Games may aggregate data and disclose such information in a non-personally
identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for marketing and promotional purposes.
Under certain circumstances we may be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties.
We cooperate with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties, to enforce laws such as those regarding intellectual
property rights, fraud and other personal rights. We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law
enforcement, government officials and third parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate in connection
with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement or other activity that is illegal or may expose us or you to
liability.
Other Information Collectors
We may use third party providers to facilitate our services, and therefore, may provide some of your personally identifiable
information directly to them. In addition, we employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as
contacting users, providing content for our website, analyzing data, processing credit card payments and providing customer service.
These companies and individuals have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for any
other purpose, except that they may aggregate your personally identifiable information with similar information from other users in
a manner that does not personally identify you.
Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses the use and disclosure of
information that we or our partners may collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to others,
different rules may apply – we do not control the privacy policies of others. We encourage you to ask questions before you
disclose your personal information to others.
Security
We care about the security of your transactions and use standard industry practices to safeguard your personally
identifiable information. We employ several different security techniques to protect your personally identifiable information
from unauthorized access. However, perfect security does not exist on the Internet; third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, Muse Games makes no representations or warranties regarding the
sufficiency of its security measures and is not responsible for any damages that result from a lapse in compliance with this
Privacy Policy due to a security breach, technical malfunction or similar problem.
We are not responsible for, and cannot control, the use by others of any information which you may provide to them via our
website or otherwise. Similarly, we cannot assume any responsibility for any personal information or communication you receive
from other users.
Policy Towards Children
We are concerned about the safety and privacy of children who use the Internet. Consistent with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of
13 without prior verifiable parental consent and may limit participation in certain services we provide to individuals over 13
years of age. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information without verifiable
parental consent, we will use our best efforts to remove such information from our files. If a parent or guardian becomes aware
that his or her child has provided us with personally identifiable information without verifiable parental consent, he or she
should contact customer service at
feedback@musegames.com.
