We may also determine the applicable technology available in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page, e-mail, advertisement, promotional announcement, or similar service.
With Your Consent
In certain circumstances, we collect personal information with your consent. For instance, when you complete a survey, make a subscription to our newsletter, or register for any portion of our services, you may be asked to provide personal information such as your e-mail address, name, gender, or phone number.
2. How We Use and Disclose Personal Information
To Deliver Our Services
We may utilize personal information related to our offerings, for instance, to send newsletters; engage with you about our services; provide technical support and troubleshooting; complete orders and requests; organize and oversee events; enhance the Site and services; and for other related purposes. We might share personal information with vendors who assist us by providing services like technical maintenance or forum software to enable their provision of relevant services.
For Our Featured Partnerships
You might also share personal information in sections of the Site managed by third-party entities, such as our featured partners. In such instances, personal information will be utilized by us and these third parties, each in accordance with their respective policies.
To Our Licensees
We may allow third parties to use our trademark for offering certain products, services, websites, and features, which are subject to separate terms of use and privacy policies.
Related to Other Collaborative and Third-Party Partnerships
We may collaborate with other organizations to co-sponsor events and activities. Please be aware that personal information collected during joint registrations may be governed by this Privacy Policy, the privacy policy of the other organization, and/or the privacy policy presented when you register. Links on our Site that lead to third-party sites are also subject to the privacy policy of those third parties, which we encourage you to review closely.
For Advertising, Marketing, and Analytical Purposes
We may utilize personal information to send you information that you register for or that we believe may interest you, and to manage, analyze, measure, and enhance our outreach efforts. In certain situations, we share your personal information with our advertisers so they can provide ads tailored to your needs or interests, and/or with our key industry partners to promote their products that we believe will appeal to you. For instance, similar sweepstakes products, poker-related materials and promotions, online gaming partners, etc. We accept no responsibility for any actions or policies enacted by third parties.
Security and Safeguarding of Rights
We may utilize personal information to protect the services and our business activities, to prevent and identify fraud, unauthorized actions, and misuse, and when we believe it's necessary to examine, avert, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, potential safety threats, or breaches of our terms or this Privacy Policy.
As Required by Law
There may be instances where we are legally compelled to grant access to our database in order to assist with government agency investigations or other legal processes. In such cases, personal information is disclosed for the specified purpose.
For General Business and Operational Assistance
We maintain the right to share, disclose, and/or transfer user information, including personal information, to evaluate and execute mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, bankruptcies, and other business transactions such as financing, and to manage our business, accounting, auditing, compliance, recordkeeping, and legal operations.
3. Minors
The Site is not directed toward minors and is intended solely for use by individuals who are of the legal age of majority. We take the protection of minors very seriously and ensure that we do not knowingly permit use of the Site by anyone under the legal age of majority.
In the event that we discover that a minor has provided us with personal information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such individual's personal information from our system. This includes not only deleting the specific data provided but also taking preventive measures to ensure that similar instances do not occur in the future.
4. Security
We employ a number of measures designed to protect the personal information we collect from our users. These measures include encryption, secure access controls, and regular security audits to help ensure that your data is safeguarded from unauthorized access. However, it is important to understand that security risks are inherent in all internet and information technologies. Despite our best efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security.
To enhance your protection, we strongly urge you to take proactive steps to keep your information safe. One effective way to do this is by choosing a strong password that includes a mix of upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessed information, such as birthdays or common phrases. Additionally, never share your password with anyone, regardless of the situation, and always log out of your account when you're finished using it, especially on public or shared devices.
5. External Links
The Site may include links to external websites or resources, which may or may not be clearly indicated ("External Sites"), as well as software, text, graphics, articles, photographs, designs, sounds, videos, music, information, software applications, and other content that comes from third parties (collectively, "External Applications, Software or Content"). Our provision of links to these External Sites does not signify our endorsement of any information, products, or services offered on or accessible through such External Sites or External Applications, Software, or Content. We do not monitor or verify the accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness of these External Sites and External Applications, Software, or Content, and we assume no responsibility for the content or performance of any External Sites accessed via the Site or any External Applications, Software or Content available or installed from the Site, including their content, accuracy, potential offensiveness, opinions, reliability, privacy practices, or other policies associated with the External Sites or External Applications, Software, or Content. Should you choose to leave the Site to access External Sites or utilize or install any External Applications, Software, or Content, you do so at your own risk, and you should recognize that the Privacy Policy no longer applies.
6. Severability
If any provision of the Privacy Policy is determined to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Privacy Policy and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The remaining provisions shall continue to be in full effect and shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with their original terms and intent, as if the invalid or unenforceable provision was never included in the first place.
7. Governing Law
The Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with common law principles. Nothing in this clause shall limit the right of AKPoker and its affiliates to take proceedings against you in any court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the taking of proceedings in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not, to the extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction.
