GetIntoTheGame.co.uk ("GetIntoTheGame.co.uk", "we",
"our") has a firm commitment to privacy. 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

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. If you are a registered member

that you provided at registration. If you are not a registered member

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

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.
