INFORMATION COLLECTED In the course of operating the Gamers Guides Services, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.
"Personal Information" is personally identifiable information, such as your name, and email address. Personal Information is collected by us when you choose to provide it to us when registering for a Gamers Guides Service, such as when you choose to subscribe to a Gamers Guides Service, enter a Gamers Guides promotion, purchase an Gamers Guides product, or choose to receive an Gamers Guides news letter. In addition, if you choose to contact any of our customer service representatives, we may keep a record of that correspondence so that we may fully address the subject matter. We may also receive Personal Information from our business partners and other third parties, provided that such third parties confirm to us that you have permitted them to share such information.
"Non-Personal Information" is information of an anonymous nature, such as an Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) , the domain used to access a Gamers Guides Service, and the type and version of browser or operating system being used. Aggregate information, such as demographic statistics of our users (e.g. average age or geographical allocation of our users), number of visitors and average time spent on a Gamers Guides Service, is also considered Non-Personal Information. Non-Personal Information is collected or derived by us in the course of operating the Gamers Guides Services. For example, our Web servers may automatically collect Non-Personal Information which is provided through your browser or stored on a Cookie when you choose to visit a Gamers Guides Service. Non-Personal Information is used by Gamers Guides as described here .
