Our Commitment To Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we are providing this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage, via the “Site Stuff” menu

The Information We Collect:

Talking About Games uses prevalent analytics software to collect aggregate and non-identifying information about our visitors.  This information includes, but is not limited to, items such as your general geographic location (down to a city region), what web browser you utilize, how often you visit us, and which pages you view most frequently. The information we collect is for our internal use only, to help us facilitate the site

Talking About Games does NOT use any automated tools to collect specific information about your machine, yourself as a user, or any information which might be used to identify you as an individual.

The Way We Use Information:

Aggregate information allows us to determine which web browsers are most commonly used when viewing our site, and allows us to make sure that we are presenting our website in the most efficient and professional manner possible, while making sure that our various site pages are accessible to all users viewing our site.  We use information such as this internally, to develop the site and present a consistently evolving page that best meets the needs of our users.

Aggregate information may be used with outside third party companies, but we do not provide identification information.  For example, this also allows us to tell potential advertisers or supporting companies that we have X number of visitors from Iceland, or that Y number of visitors utilize Google Chrome when visiting us.  However, we would disclose to these companies which individual(s) are in those groups, nor would we provide them with any information which might be used to identify those individuals.

Like many sites, we use “cookies” or other similar technologies to collect AA Data. A cookie is a small data file that writes to your hard drive for record keeping purposes when you visit the Site. Cookies allow the Site to measure traffic activity on the Site and to improve your user experience, for example by remembering your passwords and viewing preferences, allowing you to visit “member only” portions of the Site without re-registering, and tracking the progress and number of entries in activities that require registration or entry, such as sweepstakes. Similarly, if you have asked us to send you information about upcoming products and promotions, using cookies we collect information about which Site pages you have visited and in what order (“Clickstream Data”) that may allow us to narrow or limit the materials provided to you based on your prior online activities or preferences. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent, but it is possible that some parts of the Site will not function properly if you do so.If you would like the option to opt out of using cookies please click here.

We use email addresses provided by you in order to send notification email relating to our forums, our various web site components, as well as system-wide messages.  Every email sent from this site can be disabled on a user-by-user basis, either through the individual component or by a request submitted to our feedback address.  Email addresses are never shared, sold, or distributed to outside parties.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. Ever.  Talking About Games values your privacy as an individual.

Our Commitment To Data Security
