We want to be clear about what information we collect and how we use it to deliver our Services to you, operate our business, and help make our Services useful, more intelligent, and work better for you.

We get information about you in a range of ways.
Information You Give to Us
We collect your name, email address, and other information you directly give us on our Sites. This happens when you register an account, sign in, pay a bill, purchase a Service, use a Service, or provide feedback. Certain information may be required to register with us or to take advantage of some of the features of the Services. We may also get information from other companies or third parties, such as when you sync a third-party account or service with your Tatum Games’ Service, or when we may use service providers to supplement the Personal Information you give us (e.g., validate your mailing address) to help us maintain the accuracy of your data and provide you with better service. Finally, we also collect content or other information that you may provide or create when you interact with our Services.
Information Automatically Collected
Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information about you and your computer (“Usage Data”) on our server logs from your browser or devices. For example, when visiting our website, we log your computer operating system type, browser type, browser language, the website you visited before browsing our website, pages you viewed, how long you spent on a page, access times, internet protocol (IP) address, log files, unique device identifiers, and information about your use of and actions on our website.
Cookies: We may log information using “cookies.” Cookies are small data files stored on your hard drive by a website. Cookies help us make our Services and your experience better. We use cookies to see which parts of our Services people use and like and to count individual visits to our website.
Web Beacons: We may log information about you using digital images called web beacons on our website or in our emails. We use web beacons to manage cookies, count visits, and to learn what marketing works and what does not. We also use web beacons to analyze whether you open or act on our emails to you.
Our Services may change over time and we may introduce new features that may collect new or different types of information.
Mobile Applications
When you use any of the Tatum Games' games on a mobile platform, we may record certain information and data, such as your application usage, access, session times, in-app purchases, your unique device ID (persistent / non-persistent), hardware type, media access control ("MAC") address, international mobile equipment identity ("IMEI"), the version of your operating system ("OS"), your device name, your email address (if you have connected to Facebook or Google+), and your location (based on your Internet Protocol ("IP") address). This information is useful to us for troubleshooting and helps us understand usage trends and improve and optimize the Services and your user experience, and may also be utilized for other purposes, such as interest based advertising as described elsewhere in this Statement.
In addition, we create a unique user ID to track your use of our Service. This unique user ID is stored in connection with your profile information to track the Tatum Games' games you are playing.
We may occasionally send you push notifications through our mobile applications to send you product updates, friend requests, high scores and other service-related notifications that may be of importance to you. You may at any time opt-out from receiving these types of communications by turning them off at the device level through your settings.
With only your express consent, we or our partners may collect your precise location based information (GPS) for the purpose of matching you with opponent players in your local area, to tailor content specific to your area (such as event announcements), to show your location to other players, and to match your device location to certain points of interest for purposes of interest based advertising as described elsewhere in this Statement. Other players in our games may then be able to see that you are available to play when you participate in specific areas of our games. Please note, participation in this part of the Service is not a requirement for all gameplay in our games, but it may be a requirement, for example, to participate in local gameplay with others in your area.
Other Collection Practices
The Sites include Social Media Features, such as the Facebook Like button and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our Sites. These Features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Sites, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third-party or hosted directly on our Sites. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy statement of the company providing it.
Tatum Games may offer you the opportunity to invite your contacts from a Social Network Service (such as your Facebook friends) so that those contacts can be located in Tatum Games' games and/or you can invite them to join you in Tatum Games' games. Such contact information will be used only for the purpose of sending communications to the addressee. You or the third-party may contact us to request the removal of this information from our database to the extent Tatum Games' stores any of this information.

The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name, shipping/billing address and email address), and geographic information (such as zip code).
