Unfettered Games respects its players’ and users’ privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) is designed to help you understand how we and our affiliates collect, use, and share your personal information when you play our games or use our Services (as defined in the Terms of Service) through internet-connected platforms.
Please note that this Policy is integrated and made a part of the Terms of Service, as if fully restated in the Terms, and is expressly subject to the dispute resolution portions thereof, including the mandatory arbitration clause and class action waiver.
By engaging with Unfettered Games LLC, or its websites and Games, you represent that you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, you may not interact with our Services or play or participate in any of the games.
1. Information we collect from you.
1.1. Information you submit to us.
1.1.1. Account information. We may collect personal information from you to set up your account, including your name, contact information, account credentials, payment information, and your transaction history. To win prizes with us, you will be required to provide personal information including but not limited to date of birth. To facilitate withdrawals of prize money, you may also be required to provide a government issued ID, social security numbers, and other personal or financial information as needed to verify your identity and confirm you are legally eligible to receive payments to your account. We may also directly collect this information for anti-fraud purposes and for compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
1.1.2. User content. Playing our games may present opportunities for players to input freeform data. PLEASE DO NOT INPUT PERSONAL INFORMATION INTO SUCH FREEFORM FIELDS. We do not consider or treat anything that you input into a freeform field as Personal Information.
1.1.3. Communication. When you communicate with us directly, interact with our service team, give feedback, and respond to surveys, we will store a copy of those communications as permitted by applicable law. We may also store information if you interact with our accounts on social media.
1.2. Information we collect automatically.
When you use our Services or visit our website, we receive information about your visit and use including:
1.2.1. Login Information. Log information that your device and browser send whenever you use our services, such as your IP address, browser type and settings, date and time of your request, and how you interacted with our website. We collect information about your play and your interaction with other players to analyze user behavior. Please note that when you voluntarily disclose Personal Information during the game, that information may be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other internet users. We do not bear any responsibility for any actions or policies of third parties.
1.2.2. Transaction information. When you make a purchase through our services, we collect information about the transaction.
1.2.3. Location information. We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our services from certain geographic regions, and we may collect precise geolocation data from your device to determine whether you may legally participate in cash game or otherwise use certain features while located in a particular location.
1.2.4. Device information. Data from your computer or mobile device, such as the type of hardware and software you are using to access our site or services.
1.2.5. Cookies. A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and emails. We use cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our services, as well as track and understand email campaign effectiveness and to deliver targeted ads. You can disable cookies at any time, but if you do so, you may not be able to access or use the Service or certain features in the game. For more information about how third-party cookies are used for targeted advertising and how to opt out of certain third-party advertising related cookies, you can visit www.networkadvertising.org or www.aboutads.info/choices. Note that opting out does not mean you won’t see ads; rather, it means that the advertising you see may not be as relevant to you.
1.2.6. Analytics. We may use other companies under agreements with us to serve third-party advertisements when you visit the website and use the services. These companies may collect and use click stream information, browser type, time and date, subject of advertisements clicked or scrolled over during your visits to the services and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you. These companies typically use tracking technologies to collect this information. Other companies’ use of their tracking technologies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one.
1.3. Information we collect automatically from others.
1.3.1. If you decide to register or log in through a third-party account, such Google, Facebook, Twitter, or WordPress, then we may collect personal data that is already associated with that account (e.g., your username, basic profile information, friends list) via the authorization procedures for that service.
1.3.2. Referrals and Sharing features. You may be allowed to forward or share certain content with a friend or colleague, such as an email inviting your friend to participate in games (such as Treasure Hunt Champion). You are only allowed to send invitations, or post promotional content regarding our services, to people with whom you have a relationship (e.g., relatives, friends, neighbors, co-worker, or social media followers), and to persons who have agreed to receive such information from you (e.g., customers, subscribers, and social media followers). Sending invitations or promotional materials to any persons who do not fit this description is considered SPAM and is strictly prohibited and may result in termination of your account and potential legal action.
2. How we use the information we collect.
We may use any of the above information for the following purposes:
2.1 To enable you to use our services, to create an account or profile, to process information you provide via our website or services (including verifying that your email address is active and valid) and to process your transactions;
2.2. To provide related customer service and care, including responding to your questions, complaints, or comments and sending surveys and processing survey responses;
2.3. To provide you with information, products, or services that you have requested or that we otherwise believe will interest you, including special opportunities from us and our third-party partners, improve the features algorithms, and usability of our Site, and/or services;
2.4. To tailor content, recommendations, and advertisements we and third parties display to you, both on the website and elsewhere online;
2.5. To calculate aggregate statistics on the number of unique devices using our website, services and to detect and prevent fraud and misuse of those;
2.6. To use for internal business purposes, such as to improve our website and services or to develop new programs and services;
2.7. To contact you with administrative communications and, in our discretion, changes to our Policy, terms of use, or any of our other policies;
2.8. To prevent fraud, criminal activity, or misuses of our services, and to ensure the security of our IT systems, architecture, and networks; and
2.9. To comply with regulatory and legal obligations.
3. Sharing information.
We share information about you in limited circumstances, and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy.
3.1. Vendors and service providers. To assist us in meeting business operations needs and to perform certain services and functions, we may provide Personal Information to vendors and service providers, including providers of hosting services, cloud services, and other information technology services providers, event management services, email communication software and email newsletter services, and web analytics services. Pursuant to our instructions, these parties will access, process, or store Personal Information only in the course of performing their duties to us.
3.2. Affiliates. We may disclose information to another entity that we control.
3.3. Billing. We use a third-party payment processor for credit cards. This service provider is not permitted to store, retain, or use billing information except for the sole purpose of processing payments for our players.
3.4. Compelled disclosure. We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law.
3.5. Change of control. In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that we go out of business or enter bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Policy.
3.6. By consent. We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction. For example, we may share your information with third parties when you authorize us to do so, like when you connect your site to a social media service.
3.7. Aggregated or de-identified information. We may share information that has been aggregated or de-identified, so that it can no longer reasonably be used to identify you. For instance, we may publish aggregate statistics about the use of our services, or share a hashed version of your email address to facilitate customized ad campaigns on other platforms.
3.8. Information publicly shared. If you choose to make information public then you understand and agree that anyone may access, use, and disclose the information you post.
4. Storing information.
4.1. Unfettered Games retains your personal information to the extent necessary to reasonably serve customer relations, to meet our compliance and legal obligations, to enhance security and fraud prevention, and for audit purposes. For example, we may retain your information during the time in which you have an account to use our website or services and for a reasonable period of time afterward. We may also retain your information during the period of time needed for Us to pursue our legitim business interest, conduct audits, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. We determine the appropriate retention period for the data on the basis of the amount, nature and sensitivity of your data processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your data and whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, as well as on the basis of applicable legal requirements (such as applicable statutes of limitation).
4.2. Unfettered Games or its partners will only store credit card and other billing or payment information as per the terms agreed upon by the User in the User Agreement, and in accordance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Unfettered Games does not store Sensitive Authentication Data (Track Data, PIN, PIN Block, CVV). Sensitive Authentication Data (“SAD”) will never be stored after authorization.
5. Security.
While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so. We monitor our services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
6. Your rights.

6.1.1. Identifiers (like your name, contact information, and device and online identifiers);
6.1.2. Commercial information (your billing information and purchase history, for example);

6.3. Additional privacy rights for California residents:
6.3.1. Sales of personal information. For purposes of the CCPA, we do not sell personal information, nor do we have actual knowledge of any sale of personal information of minors under 18 years of age, as the term “sell” is commonly understood. That said, we do share information with third-party advertisers for the purpose of promoting our Services. To the extent that such sharing is considered a “sale” under the CCPA, you may opt-out of having your information shared by disabling third-party cookies on your device, or by contacting us at email address.
6.3.2. Correction and Deletion. If you would like to modify or delete from our database any Personal Information you previously submitted to us, please let us know by emailing [email address]. Please note that any Personal Information that we have copied may remain in back-up storage for some period of time after your request, and that if you delete certain information you may not be able to order services in the future without re-submitting such information.
6.3.3. Non-Discrimination. California residents have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the exercise of their rights conferred by the CCPA.
6.3.4. Making a request. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. To designate an authorized agent, please contact us as set forth in “Contact Us” below and provide written authorization signed by you and your designated agent. You may only make a verifiable consumer request twice within a 12-month period. If we can’t verify that it’s you or understand what you are requesting, we will not be able to respond to your request or provide you with personal information. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify your identity.

7.1. Where you have provided consent for us to use your personal data.

7.3. Where we need to use your data to protect your vital interests or those of a third party.

We may transfer your personal data to countries other than your own country, including to the United States. These countries may have data protection rules that are different from those in your country. When transferring data across borders, we take measures to comply with applicable data protection laws related to such transfer. In certain situations, we may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests from officials (such as law enforcement or security authorities).
9. Links to other websites.
Our services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us. The information that you share with these third parties will be governed by their specific privacy policies and terms of service and not by this privacy policy. By providing these links to you or other users, we do not imply that we endorse or have reviewed these sites. Please contact those third parties directly for information on their privacy practices and policies.
10. Updates to this Policy.
We may change this Policy at any time. When we do, we will post an updated version on this page, unless another type of notice is required by applicable law.
