Also, whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information on publicly-viewable areas, that information will be publicly available and can be collected and used by others. For example, if you post your email address, you may receive unsolicited messages. We cannot control who reads your posting or what other users may do with the information you voluntarily post, so we encourage you to exercise discretion and caution with respect to your personal information. Information Received from SNS and APIs When you use an Application at an SNS, you allow us to access certain information from your profile through such SNS and the applicable SNS platform Application Programming Interface (“API”). The information we receive varies by the Application and by the privacy settings you choose for the SNS and may include any or all of the following information, as allowed by you, the SNS and your privacy preferences: (i) your first and last name; (ii) your profile picture or its URL; (iii) your user ID number; which is linked to publicly available information such as name and profile photo; (iv) the user ID numbers for your friends that are also connected to our Application(s); (v) login e-mail you provided to the SNS when you registered; (vi) your physical location and that of your access device(s) and (vii) your gender. By using our Application(s) through an SNS, you are authorizing us to collect, store and use/share any and all information you agreed the SNS could disclose to us through the API in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Your agreement is evidenced when you “accept” or “allow” (or comparable terms) one of our Applications on an SNS. 2. How We Collect Personal Information Automated Information Collection Technologies As described below, when you access our Services, we collect certain technical information and may associate such information with your user or account ID number for our internal use. Cookies A “cookie” is a small text file that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. We may use cookies to track general, non-personal information about our users (e.g., user name, pages viewed, time spent on our Site(s), games, and the sites visited just before and just after our Site(s)) for statistical and market research purposes. We use cookies to gather information about our users’ browser activities in order to constantly improve our Service. This information assists us to design and arrange our web pages in a most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Service to better meet the needs of our customers, prospective customers, and visitors. We may also use local shared objects known as “flash cookies”, which help us to prevent fraud, remember your in-game settings and to track your progress on certain in-game tasks. You have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the option to reject all cookies or limit the type of cookies you allow. Flash cookies operate differently from browser cookies and cookie management tools available in a web browser will not remove flash cookies. To learn more about and manage flash cookies you can visit www.adobe.com. Rejecting or limiting the type of cookies may, however, in limited instances prevent you from accessing certain features on our Service. Log Files Like most Internet services, we may also use log files on the server-side. The data held in log files includes your computer’s or Mobile Device’s IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, browser language, e-mail application, Internet service provider, referring/exit Web pages, computer platform type, date/time stamp, and user activity. Company uses server log data to analyze trends, administer the services offered through our Service. We and our third-party partners may use this information for product and service improvements and in marketing and advertising services. The software enabling our Services has associated log and temporary files that are stored on Company’s servers. These files store your account information, preference settings, system notifications as well as other data necessary to enable you to participate in our Service. Your information may also exist within regularly performed server backups. Tracking Technologies Our Services may utilize a variety of methods for tracking purposes, including web beacons (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). Web beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of websites to analyze the traffic patterns, such as the frequency users visit various areas of our Services. Pixel tags may allow us to advertise more efficiently by excluding our current users from certain promotional messages or identifying the source of a new installation. These methods may involve transmitting information either directly to us or to another entity authorized by us to collect information on our behalf. We also use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that we send our guests to determine whether our guests have opened those e-mails or clicked on links in those e-mails. With web beacon technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, or email address. Third-Party Advertisers Many advertisements are managed and placed on the service by third parties. These third-party advertisers may use cookies, web beacons or similar automated information collection technologies on your computer or Mobile Devices to help present, better target, and measure the effectiveness of their advertisements, by collecting non-personally identifiable information when you click on or move your cursor over one of their advertisements. We may share certain non-personally identifiable information about you as a user with certain third-party advertisers to help them deliver more relevant advertisements through their ad networks. In some cases, we may have access to information from cookies, web beacons, and similar automated information collection technologies used by third-party advertisers on our Services and this information may permit us to identify other sites or services that you have visited that are also associated with the third-party advertiser. The use of cookies, web beacons, or similar automated information collection technologies by third-party advertisers is subject to their own privacy policies. Finally, once you have clicked on an advertisement and have left the Service, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the applicable third-party advertiser to see how your personal information will be collected, stored and used as part of their service. Click-Through URLs Some of our Services, including email messages, use “click-through URLs” linked to other content on our Services. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in topics and use of the Services. Monitoring/Public Information You may also choose to disclose personal information in our Forums. Personal information you disclose in such Forums is public information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality. Please refer to the Terms of Service for additional information relating to the disclosure of personal information in such Forums. Other Sources We may collect or receive information from other sources including other users of the Service and third-party information providers and partners. For example, we receive and store the information you provide when you enter any promotion, sweepstakes or loyalty program. Such information may be used to supplement your account information and/or profile and may be combined with other information we collect from you.

Provided, however, some Partners may also act as third-party service providers (described below) to us and may have access to your personally identifiable information. Moreover, Partners may obtain public information about you from your profile or other public sources. We may also periodically engage in co-marketing activities, where we work with a complementary solution provider to launch a joint marketing program. In these situations, we will only send information to you on behalf of the other; we do not provide your personally identifiable information to such a partner. We may also enter into business partnerships with other parties to provide specific services. If a user signs up for these services or responds to a particular marketing offer, we may share personally identifiable information such as your name or other contact information that is necessary for our business partner to provide these services or get in contact with you. Disclosure of your personally identifiable information may occur when we engage or employ service providers, vendors or other third parties to facilitate the provision of our Services (including, without limitation, payment processing, data analysis, e-mail delivery, hosting services, customer service, and promotional services) to provide the Services on our behalf, or to assist us in analyzing how our Services are being used. Such third party service provider ( “Third Party Partner”) may have access to your personally identifiable information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Safety, Security and Legally Required Disclosures Your personally identifiable information, and communications you make within the Service, may be accessed and disclosed if we believe that our Service is being used in the commission of a crime, when we believe in good faith that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person and when necessary either to protect our rights or property including to enforce our Terms of Service, or for us to render the service you have requested. We may also disclose personally identifiable information when required by law, regulation, court order, or in response to a subpoena or litigation discovery request, or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in order to conform to the edicts of the law or comply with a legal process served on us. In addition, we will make any legally required disclosures to government authorities and provide notice to you of any breach of security, confidentiality, or unauthorized release of personal or private data in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Storage and Security We employ reasonable measures (both online and offline) to protect the security of information we collect from you. Such information is housed in secure databases, equipment, and servers located in South Korea and/or in other countries. The databases, equipment, and servers we utilize may be owned by third-party providers. To prevent unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we maintain. We use industry-standard technology, such as firewalls, in an effort to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. Moreover, in addition to password protection offered in connection with your Service account, we encrypt your transmission of sensitive information to us (e.g., account passwords and payment-related identifiable information) via SSL (secured socket layer) protocol in the interest of heightened privacy protection and information integrity. Although we take reasonable precautions against possible security breaches of our Service, databases, equipment or servers, and records, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other security breaches and factors beyond our control will never take place and result in disclosure of your personal information. Accordingly, we disclaim any guarantees, warranties, or representations relating to maintenance or nondisclosure of any personal information collected from you. We strongly urge you to take reasonable measures at all times (online and offline) to protect your personal information, including your password and other sensitive information. In addition, while we strive to protect your personal information, you should know that information sent over the Internet, whether by e-mail or by using one of our on-line forms, is not necessarily secure against interception. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for such interception and cannot guarantee the security of such information. We will investigate, attempt to resolve, and take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that your personal information and data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We will retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as needed to provide you with Services.
