What personal information is collected?
BoardGamingEvents only collects personal information on a voluntary basis. If an on-line visitor submits information to BoardGamingEvents, it will usually take the form of either: (1) the purchase of goods or services through our on-line stores, (2) product registration or registration for on-line customer relations, (3) requests for service, sales or support, (4) message boards, (5) warranty registrations, (6) contest registrations, (7) a consumer complaint, and/or (8) surveys. Personal information collected may include your name, home and/or work address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, age, gender, and/or birth date. We do not require this information to gain access to our sites, however, you will not be able to access certain areas that require registration or receive materials, such as newsletters, unless such information is provided. Visitors purchasing products or services through our on-line stores will be required to provide additional information such as a valid credit card number and expiration date.
What other types of information may we collect?
Your web browser or client software may transmit certain geographic information or information regarding the capabilities of your computer to BoardGamingEvents. BoardGamingEvents may use this information to generate aggregate statistics about our user community. This information is never linked to you, or your household, in any way.
How do we use your personal information?
The personal information you provide BoardGamingEvents will allow us to fulfill your product or service order; alert you of new products, features, or enhancements; and/or notify you of upgrade opportunities, contests, or special events. We may also provide your personal information to our affiliates, or other companies or organizations that offer products that may be of interest to you. BoardGamingEvents may enhance or merge the personal information collected at an BoardGamingEvents site with data collected from third parties. Lastly, we may use your personal information for internal marketing, profiling, or demographic purposes, so we can adapt our products and services to better suit your needs. We do this to better understand and serve our customers.
Who is collecting your information?
When you are asked for information while on a BoardGamingEvents, you are sharing that information only with BoardGamingEvents unless specifically stated otherwise. Some services, however, are provided in conjunction with partner companies. If another company other than BoardGamingEvents is collecting your personal information, you will be notified at the time the information is collected. If you do not want your information shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of information by not using that particular service or by not providing any information at that time. Please be aware that advertisers or websites with links to our sites may collect personal information about you. Remember, the BoardGamingEvents Privacy Policy does not apply to, and cannot control the activities of, those other advertisers or websites.
With whom may my personal information be shared?
As a general rule, BoardGamingEvents will not disclose any of your personal information except when we have your permission. However, we may need to disclose your personal information to third party vendors to fulfill orders or to process mailings. In special circumstances, we may also disclose such information if there is a violation of our Terms of Service or Use Agreements or if we have a good faith belief that the law requires it. BoardGamingEvents sites also have message boards and/or chat areas, where users can exchange ideas and communicate with one another. When posting to a message board or chat area, please be aware that the information is being made publicly available on-line.
What choices do I have regarding the collection, use, and distribution of my personal information?
BoardGamingEvents allows you to control the way that we use personal identifying information that we might obtain. In fact, many of the "mailings" BoardGamingEvents may send you, such as newsletters, have procedures within them to cancel the receipt of any future mailings. If at any time you wish to opt-out of: (1) providing us your personal information, (2) having your personal information shared with third parties, and/or (3) receiving information (via email or postal mail) about new products, services, or promotions, you can do so. Visit your member control panel on our website to select your opt-out options, e-mail us, or write to BoardGamingEvents. Please indicate in your request your user name (password is neither necessary nor recommended) and what publications or services you no longer wish to receive so that we may better address your needs.
What about children?
Children Under 13. Once a child states that their age is under 13, we do not collect or store any personally identifiable information such as name, address, or email address. Note to Parents :
We recognize a special obligation to protect personal information obtained from young children. We urge parents to instruct their children to never give out their real names, addresses, or phone numbers, without permission, when on-line. No information should be submitted to BoardGamingEvents by children 12 and under. Children under the age of 17 and over the age of 12 should encourage their parents to review this policy and to contact us if they would like to evoke our opt-out policy or to raise any concerns.

Cookies are a feature of your Web browser that allows websites to transfer bits of information to your computer for record-keeping purposes.
