iPowow! Ltd. created this privacy policy statement (‘Privacy Policy’) for the use of iPowow (“iPowow” or “we” or “us” or “our”) to demonstrate our commitment to protecting the privacy of our users and to explain our privacy policies and procedures.

This Privacy Policy governs the privacy practices and procedures of iPowow with respect to the data it collects via the iPowow web sites that post this Privacy Policy and all sub-domains, wireless application protocol versions and other mobile versions thereof (collectively, the “Web Sites”).

Neither this Privacy Policy nor iPowow’s Terms and Conditions apply to data collected by any other means, including any offline means.

By visiting our Web Sites or accessing the iPowow application, you are consenting to the practices and procedures described in this Privacy Policy. Please take a moment to review the sections below. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into, and part of, the Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of iPowow.

Policy Changes

We suggest that you review this Privacy Policy and the Terms and Conditions periodically as we may modify them from time to time as our services evolve. Your continued use of iPowow after the posting of a revised Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the revised terms. Under certain circumstances (e.g., with respect to material changes), we may also elect to notify you of changes or updates to our Privacy Policy by additional means, such as posting a notice on the front page of the affected sites or sending you an e-mail.

What Information Does iPowow Collect?

iPowow collects two types of information from users of iPowow: (1) non-personal information collected, for example, as you interact with our services, that cannot be used to specifically identify or contact an individual (“Non-Personal Information”); and (2) personal information that can be used to specifically identify or contact an individual (“Personal Information”).

Non-Personal Information

When you use iPowow, our web server and or applications, automatically recognizes and collects certain Non-Personal Information about your visit, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) Address and domain name.

iPowow also collects clickstream data, which includes a trail of electronic information left at each Web Site you visit, Game you play or Application that you use. These data tell us, for example, the type of computer or device and browsing software you are using and the address of the web site, if applicable, from which you linked to iPowow. We may use this clickstream data to determine how much time visitors spend on each page of our sites or applications, how visitors navigate throughout those sites and application, and how we may tailor our services to better meet the needs of visitors. Collection or use of clickstream data will be anonymous, aggregated, and will not intentionally contain any Personal Information.

iPowow also uses cookies, which are small pieces of data stored by your web browser that contain data regarding your settings and preferences or other data about your visits to our Web Sites or Games. We use this information to, for example, recognize you and your computer or device when you return to iPowow, provide you with access to account information you may have entered on iPowow, compile statistics about traffic to iPowow, and for other purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. We do not use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer.

iPowow may also use Web beacon technology to help track usage and viewing of the iPowow Web Sites and certain iPowow applications and communications (such as emails), and usage of and access to iPowow services. Web beacons, also sometimes called single pixel gifs or action tags, allow iPowow to track page and message viewing counts and patterns, which we use to focus and tailor future content development and otherwise measure and improve the performance of our services.

Any or all of the above-described activities may be performed on our behalf by third party service providers of iPowow.

Personal Information

When you use iPowow, you may be asked to provide or otherwise choose to provide Personal Information, which may include, but is not limited to your name and e-mail address. We may also request information about your likes, demographic information, your social networking preferences, and other interests you have. We collect or request Personal Information for many reasons and on different occasions during your visits to our sites and application. For example, you may provide certain Personal Information when you sign up for iPowow.

You may be able to send information about our services to your friends and family members by clicking on a “Send-to-a-Friend” or similar button within the application, or in an e-mail that we have sent you. In doing so, you may provide to us the name and e-mail address of your friend or family member. We will treat this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

The above are only examples of the types of Personal Information we may collect. The actual types of Personal Information collected depend on the specific product or service you request, the types of transactions you conduct within the application and the other various activities in which you participate.

Location Information

If you use location-enabled products or devices to access iPowow, you may be sending us location information, including information about the real-time geographic location of your device. You may also choose to note your location in your profile or otherwise voluntarily send us information about your location.

Information Obtained from Third Parties

We may supplement the information collected from you with information that is received or otherwise obtained from third parties. For example, this information may be received or obtained from our partners in sponsored content sections or our affiliates with whom you have previously done business. Such supplemental information could include, for example, user contact information (like name, e-mail address and telephone number), user preferences (like the types of products you buy or request information about) and user demographic information (like zip code, age or income level).
We receive information about consumers from third parties to enable targeted advertising on the website(s) and application(s) that we support. The collection and use of that data is governed by the privacy policy and legal terms of the data collector and the website using the data; it is not governed by iPowow.

How does iPowow use my information?

We will use information we collect from and about you to provide services to you, process and respond to your requests, help you connect with other users of our application, develop new features and offerings, improve our service offerings and protect our rights and property as well as that of third parties. We may also use your information to maintain our internal record keeping, to show you a history of your activity, to provide you with statistics about your use of iPowow or to enhance your user experience. We may analyze user behavior as a measure of interest in, and use of our services, e-mails and other messaging campaigns both on an individual basis and in the aggregate. We may match information collected from you through different means or at different times, including both Personal Information and Non-Personal Information, and use such information along with supplemental information obtained from other sources.

In addition, we may use your information to send you notices (in the form of e-mails, text messages, SMS communications, notifications, mailings, and the like) as part of the services or our other offerings, or to inform you about products, services, companies and events that we think might interest you. You may opt out of receiving certain notices from us by following the instructions in the Opt Out section below.

These advertisements may appear on iPowow or on other iPowow web sites. These companies may employ cookies and clear GIFs to cause relevant ads to be displayed to you.

How Does iPowow Aim to Protect My Information?

While iPowow endeavors to protect the security and integrity of the information provided to us, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot guarantee that information, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your Personal Information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If a notification is appropriate, we would endeavor to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances, and, to the extent we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail. Unless you provide us with another method to notify you in this situation, you consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification.

Links to Other Web Sites

iPowow may contain or provide links, banners, widgets or advertisements that lead to other Web sites. When you click on these types of third-party content, the privacy policies of the Web sites to which you are linked will govern the collection and use of your information. iPowow does not have access to or control over any technologies or practices that may be used on linked to sites, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of them. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site visited after leaving iPowow to learn about how your information is treated.
