ezGamerz Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for ezGamerz.com

The privacy of our visitors is important to us.

At ezGamerz.com, we take the privacy of your information seriously because we believe it is important to you. If your privacy is not important to you…well, just consider our attention to it as a bonus.

Following are the ways in which we collect personal information when you visit and use ezGamerz.com.  Our practice is to never provide your personal information to third parties unless you have given us specific permission to do so or we have been compelled by a law enforcement agency.

Log Files

The server on which ezGamerz.com is hosted collects information in log files. This is standard practice for websites. The information in the log files includes your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, the time you visited and which pages you visited throughout our site.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. We also use third party advertisements on ezGamerz.com to support our site.  Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed.  This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing Florida video game retailer ads to someone in Florida, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing MMORPG ads to someone who frequents MMORPG sites).

You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security.  However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites.  This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Newsletter Registration

We will collect your first/last name and email address when you sign up to receive our newsletter. This information will be used solely for the purpose of providing you with that periodic content. The process will include a double opt-in, which means that we will send you a confirmation email to make sure that you, in fact, are interested in receiving the newsletter. It will also include an unsubscribe feature, so that you can notify us if your desire to receive the newsletter changes at any point in the future. We’re sure that it won’t, but…hey…you never know.

Forum Registration

If you decide that just reading the information at ezGamerz.com is not enough and you’d like to participate more directly with the community, you may opt to join the ezGamerz Forum. In that case, we will ask that you provide personal information to establish a user account with us. This information will be used for the purpose of identifying you as a member of our community. In some cases, the preferences you specify may prompt us to reach out to you directly. For example, you may indicate an intense interest in Strawberry Shortcake vs. My Little Pony Online and if we don’t already have a correspondent for that title, we may touch base and ask you to contribute an article or other material.

To Reiterate

Regardless of the information we collect or the method used to collect it, we WILL NOT share your information with any third parties unless you have given us permission to do so.

Again, we take the privacy of your personal information very seriously and we appreciate your willingness to share it with us. If at any point you believe the privacy of your personal information has been compromised, please send a message immediately to our privacy watchdog and we will address your concerns.
