We take your privacy concerns seriously and want to make reasonable efforts to address them as we strive to offer our site visitors a high quality, interactive and personalized experience. This Privacy Policy explains our position on information gathering and how we intend to use and share any information we collect. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by GetIntoTheGame.co.uk and does not apply to information obtained or used by the site or its affiliates through other means.

You understand and agree that, by visiting GetIntoTheGame.co.uk and its affiliated sites, you are accepting, without modification, this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any portion of this Privacy Policy, then your only option is to not use GetIntoTheGame.co.uk.

GetIntoTheGame.co.uk collects and stores personally identifiable information such as your name, address, and e-mail address. The information that we collect and store about you depends on the page you visit and the services in which you elect to participate. We use this information to operate our services, improve the quality of our services, offer you opportunities we think will interest you, and better tailor the advertising you see from us to suit you. This information is not shared with anyone outside of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk except as provided for in this Privacy Policy or as explained at the time the information is collected. More specifics on the information we collect and how we use it are outlined within this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is subject to change from time to time by GetIntoTheGame.co.uk and your continued use of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk means you agree to, without modification, the revisions.

Whether or not you are a registered member of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk, it is your responsibility to check back and review this page regularly to ensure you are familiar with the most current terms. Should you object to any such modifications to this Privacy Policy or become dissatisfied with GetIntoTheGame.co.uk in any way, your only option is to immediately terminate your membership and discontinue use of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk. Otherwise, continuing to use the service after the effective date means that you agree to be bound by the changes, without modification.

Information we collect

Access to certain special content, services and features on GetIntoTheGame.co.uk requires users to be registered members at GetIntoTheGame.co.uk. Member registration may require you to provide certain personally identifiable information, such as your name, e-mail address, organisation address, telephone number, gender, and date of birth.

Some features and services of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk may require additional personally identifiable information or other demographic information. We may collect other personally identifiable information when you provide feedback, comments, or participate in surveys, or if you contact us offline. For example, when you enter contests you will be asked to also provide your phone number so that we can reach you in the event you have won a prize. All users may decline to share such information with us, by choosing not to register on GetIntoTheGame.co.uk or not to use our services. Only registered members, however, may access certain content, services and features.

You may also be asked to create a separate registration account with some of the services provided by partners and other third-party providers on GetIntoTheGame.co.uk. Be aware that the information collected by a third-party provider will be subject to that provider's privacy policy and terms of service, rather than this Privacy Policy. We, therefore, recommend you review the privacy policy of each third-party service provider with whom you interact and each Web site you visit prior to submitting information in connection therewith.

If you wish to forward content to a friend, we will ask that you provide your friend's name and e-mail address. While we may collect statistics on which articles are forwarded, we do not sell, rent, or market your friend's personal information, and retain the information only as long as necessary to provide this service.

Passive data collection and use

Like most Web sites, GetIntoTheGame.co.uk also collects and logs information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that may be transparent to you, such as your IP address, the name and location of your Internet Service Provider, the type and version of your browser, the length of time that you stay on GetIntoTheGame.co.uk, search queries, your click-stream data, the location that referred you to GetIntoTheGame.co.uk and the average number of pages viewed. If you visit another Web site prior to browsing GetIntoTheGame.co.uk, that Web site might place personally identifiable information within a URL, which may be logged by us. Your IP address is the identifier assigned to your particular computer when you access the Internet. Depending on how you connect to the Internet, your IP address may always be the same, or it may change each time you access the Internet. Note that logging your IP address does not in and of itself provide us with your name, e-mail address or home or work address. We use this log information for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes and may also use it to gather general demographic information about you such as your general location and your Internet Service Provider. To better provide our services to you and to develop member profiles that enable us to tailor GetIntoTheGame.co.uk's services and its advertisements to your interests, we may correlate this log information with other information about you, such as your registration information or newspaper subscription records. We may provide to third parties anonymous aggregated (non-personally identifiable) general information about our Web site and its users.

Use of cookies

Most standard Web browsers contain a feature called "cookies," which allow a Web site to place information about a user's visit to that Web site in a small data text file that is stored on the user's computer. Our use of cookie technology will likely be transparent to you and is used to recognize you and hold information from one visit to the next in an effort to increase your ease of use of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk and to allow us to better understand how people use GetIntoTheGame.co.uk through click-stream analysis. For example, cookies may be used to store information such as your member name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time you visit. Another example is that we may use cookie technology to control the number of times you see a particular advertisement while visiting GetIntoTheGame.co.uk. You can turn the cookies feature off by using your browser preference options, but doing so will severely limit your access to GetIntoTheGame.co.uk and may prevent you from registration.

Some of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk's third-party content providers also may place a cookie on your computer. If you choose to monitor or restrict cookies that are placed on his computer, you can determine the Web site that is attempting to place a cookie. Those cookies are controlled by the content provider, and you should refer to that provider's privacy policy for further information regarding its use of cookies.

Use of personally identifiable information

Personally identifiable information may be accessed by the user who entered it, by GetIntoTheGame.co.uk personnel, and by certain third parties, such as those who provide technical support or content services to GetIntoTheGame.co.uk. For example, your credit card information (should it be required for say, purchasing advertising) will be shared with third parties who perform tasks required to complete the purchase transaction. We ask these third parties to keep any personal information supplied by us confidential. We also endeavor to keep your personally identifiable information inaccessible to other users or advertisers of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk. Note that your name may be displayed on GetIntoTheGame.co.uk when you visit GetIntoTheGame.co.uk as a logged in member. We will also display your e-mail address and contact information in your Member Center. While no Web site is completely secure, we make reasonable efforts to secure all information, such that; it can only be accessed by logging in with your member name and password.

We may also disclose personally identifiable information when deemed necessary or appropriate:

• to comply with a service of process, court order, or other legal proceeding, or if otherwise requested by a legitimate law enforcement body to cooperate in their investigations;
• to otherwise comply with applicable law;
• to prevent, investigate, or to take some other action against illegal activities, potential fraud, potential physical threats to any person, or as required by law;
• to comply with part of the sale or transfer of business assets, if we sell all or a part of our business;
• to protect the rights, property, or safety of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk, its affiliates or others.

Use of aggregated information

To describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers and others, we may use your personally identifiable information to create a compiled, aggregate and anonymous view of the GetIntoTheGame.co.uk audience and their usage patterns ("Aggregated Information"). We use Aggregated Information to operate our services and to better understand our audience as we develop new content and services. Aggregated Information may also be shared with third parties with whom we contract to provide content and services on GetIntoTheGame.co.uk as well as advertisers so that they can better understand our audience. For example, we might disclose that a certain percentage of our users are female or within a certain age range or live within a cluster of a certain postcode.

Children's privacy

GetIntoTheGame.co.uk is particularly concerned with providing a safe online environment for children.

Under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA .pdf file), no web site operator can require, as a condition to participation in an activity, that a child younger than 13 years of age disclose more information than is reasonably necessary.

GetIntoTheGame.co.uk complies with this requirement and only collects information voluntarily provided; no information is collected passively. Children under 13 must always obtain permission for a parent or legal guardian before submitting their personal information on the website. Although children under 13 may be allowed to participate in some contests and promotions by providing their e-mail address, if such a child wins, notification is sent to the child's e-mail address asking for their parent's e-mail address so an e-mail can be sent to their parent who will provide the required information. This information is used solely to conduct the sweepstakes and fulfill prizes.

GetIntoTheGame.co.uk does not share children's personally identifiable information with anyone, except as herein set forth. No information collected from children under 13 is used for any marketing or promotional activities. GetIntoTheGame.co.uk will share personally identifiable information about a child with other third parties providing services on our behalf, such as in connection with the winning of a prize or contest or when we need to send the information to companies that work on our behalf to provide a product or service that has been requested by a parent on behalf of a child.

We may also disclose children's personally identifiable information in order to respond to court orders or legal process, to the extent permitted by law, or when any future subsidiaries, affiliated companies or successor companies (resulting from a merger or acquisition) have a need for such information. Unless we tell you otherwise, any companies that work on our behalf to provide a product or service do not have any right to use the personally identifiable information we provide to them beyond what is necessary to assist us.

Member mail and e-mail offers

GetIntoTheGame.co.uk does not rent, sell, barter or give away its user or member lists or its users' or members' names, e-mail addresses or mailing addresses for use by advertisers and other third parties for the purpose of solicitations, unless the user has previously given his or her consent at the time of general registration or registration for a specific contest or service. If a user granted permission to receive solicitations (referred to on GetIntoTheGame.co.uk as e-mail Offers) at the time of registration but subsequently wishes to opt out from receiving such solicitations, the user may do so via a link contained in any e-mail received.

Our HTML-encoded e-mail messages may include graphic files, which we use to gather information about e-mails sent our members. When such a message is opened in an HTML-capable e-mail program, the recipient's computer accesses our server to retrieve the graphic file, and allows us to record and store the date and time, the recipient's e-mail address, and other standard logging information. These HTML-encoded e-mail messages may also read cookies.

Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements

GetIntoTheGame.co.uk expects its partners, providers of content and services and advertisers to respect the privacy of its users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, providers of content and services, advertisers and others accessible through our site may have their own privacy and data collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to GetIntoTheGame.co.uk you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a GetIntoTheGame.co.uk page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also through GetIntoTheGame.co.uk you may be introduced to, or be able to access information, services, Web sites, features, contest or sweepstakes offered by other parties. GetIntoTheGame.co.uk are not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You should use common sense when you navigate the Web and be aware of when you travel outside of GetIntoTheGame.co.uk. In addition, you should carefully review the applicable privacy policies of each Web site you visit and each Web service you use.

Electronic commerce

For certain electronic commerce services on GetIntoTheGame.co.uk, such as placing classified ads electronically or bidding on charity auctions, we require additional information. To complete these transactions, we may collect information from you such as your name, credit card number and other financial or personally identifiable information. We endeavor to protect the security of your payment information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, which encrypts information you submit. GetIntoTheGame.co.uk uses the credit card and shipping information for the purpose of completing the transaction and does not provide this information to third parties except for the providers of the transaction processing and the issuers of credit cards in order to process the transaction, or as otherwise set forth in this policy.

Changing your personal information and deleting your account

In general, if you are a registered member, you may return to your account information page to update the information you previously provided to us. To prevent minors from improperly entering contests for which they are not eligible, we may require additional proof from people asking to change information regarding their date of birth. GetIntoTheGame.co.uk may retain personal information for an indefinite amount of time.

Remember the risks when you use the Internet

You should know that when you voluntarily disclose personal information on the GetIntoTheGame.co.uk Web site (for example, in comments or discussion forums), that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people. While we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot be responsible for information that you choose to publicly disclose. Further, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information. Although we make good faith efforts to store the information we collect in a secure operating environment that is not available to the public and to work with responsible third parties, we cannot guarantee complete security for your information.

In addition, our advertisers, content providers, partners and other Internet sites or services that may be accessible through GetIntoTheGame.co.uk have separate data and privacy practices that are independent of us, and we disclaim any responsibility or liability for their policies or actions. Please contact those sites directly if you have questions about their privacy policies.
