DeviantWar - Privacy policy
At deviantwar.com, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is important.
Deviantwar has adopted this Privacy Statement in order to inform you of its policies with respect to information collected from this Web site. You should read it in conjunction with the Terms and Conditions, of which this Privacy Policy forms part.
(I) Emails
Emails from DeviantWar. We hate spam and will never ever send you unsolicited emails. But there are some emails that we will need to send you to provide you with a good service. These include:
* validation email – the email we use to verify your email address when you first register;
* game updates – if we need to notify you about important game updates (example: new game server);
* important questions - if we need information about bugs, hacking and other game related problems.
(II) Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as game servers and forums.
We also use third party advertisements on deviantwar.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 Dutch real estate ads to someone in the Netherlands, for example). 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 accounts or forums.
(III) The information we gather and track
Information gathered on registration. When you register at DeviantWar, you enter your email address and a player name (pseudonym) of your choice. Your password is digitally encrypted and saved.
Only your password is available to you, and capable of being changed.
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data we get from the installed Google Analytics code, an independent measurement and research service from Google.
They use cookies and code on the site to gather non-personal data regarding the number and frequency of visitors to our site. Both the cookies and the embedded code provide general site and not personal statistical information about visits to pages on the site,
the duration of individual page view, paths taken by visitors through the site and other general information. We use this type of information to help us improve our game and promotion campaigns.
The Google Analytics privacy statement can be found at http://www.google.com/privacy.html.
(V) Sharing and use of information
DeviantWar.com may use the personally information collected through its Web site primarily for such purposes as:
* helping to establish and verify the identity of users;
* opening, maintaining, administering and servicing users' accounts;
* processing, servicing or enforcing transactions and sending related communications;
* providing services and support to users;
* improving the Web site, providing users with game updates, promotional notices and offers, and other;
* responding to your questions, inquiries, comments and instructions;
* maintaining the security and integrity of its systems.
If all of the assets which online games uses to operate its business are acquired by a third party, we may transfer personal data we then hold to that party so that the acquirer can continue to provide the Service.
(IV) Children's Privacy

We have security measures in place to protect our customer database and access to this database is restricted internally. However, it remains each Member's responsibility:
* to protect against unauthorised access to your account details;
