We warned you!!! This was written by our lawyers. So, it is going to be
pretty boring. But, one thing we have to say about lawyers, at least they let
you know where you stand.

customize and personalize your experience with our service.
Our Commitment to Protecting Your Privacy

Products and Services, we would like, but do not require, your parent's

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND WHY
Requested Information
When we refer to "requested" information ("Requested
Information"), we mean the information you provide to us directly, like
your name, e-mail, or address. Some of the Requested Information we receive from
you is required in order for us to actually provide you with our own products
and services. For example, we need to get your e-mail address in order to send
you new ZapSpot e-mail games.
Calculated Information
When we say "calculated" information ("Calculated
Information"), we mean the information that we capture and send back to our
servers such as which advertisements have been viewed or clicked-on, which games
are most popular, and whether you are using a ZapSpot product or service brought
to you directly from ZapSpot or via a third party. Calculated Information is
generated from the various actions that you take within our service and is sent
back to us when you are online. If you register for our service by providing
your e-mail address, we will associate your Requested and Calculated Information
with your e-mail and we may use this information to customize and improve the
games, services, and promotions that you receive from us.
Roaming Information
When we refer to "roaming" information ("Roaming
Information"), we mean the information that allows you to use ZapSpot from
any machine connected to the Internet, such as your high-scores, sound, video,
and computer settings, or the ZapSpot options that you select for the service or
a particular game.
PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY
Information that we Collect
ZapSpot will not sell, trade, or rent to others any Requested, Calculated, or
Roaming Information that identifies you as an individual.
Information we Provide to Independent Third Parties
In order for us to provide you with the best service possible, we may at
times be required to submit certain Requested Information to the independent
contractors or independent, third party agents to whom we outsource certain
parts of our business processes, or who perform certain services for us. We
request contractual obligations from these independent contractors and agents to
safeguard the confidentiality of all information they process for us. While we
seek to protect the confidentiality of the information we provide to those
independent companies and individuals, we cannot guarantee what uses those
parties will make of that information nor do we assume any liability whatsoever
for them.
Information you Provide to Independent Third Parties
ZapSpot reserves the right to release Requested, Collected and Roaming
Information when we believe that such release is necessary to comply with any
applicable law or to protect the rights, property, interests, or safety of
ZapSpot, our customers or others.
Necessary Release of Information
ZapSpot may release Requested, Calculated, and Roaming Information when we,
in good faith, believe that such release is reasonably necessary to comply with
the law or protect the rights, property or safety of ZapSpot, our customers, or
others.
WHAT WE USE THE INFORMATION FOR
Game Optimizations
ZapSpot is committed to providing you with the best service possible, which
means delivering the best games to you. In order to do that, we will use
Calculated Information about game-play behavior for every user of ZapSpot. This
Calculated Information may include, but is not limited to, usage information on
when a game is opened and how much time is spent within a game. Calculated
information is normally anonymous, i.e. it does not identify you as an
individual. However, if you subscribe to our e-mail gave update, we will
associate this information with your e-mail in order to deliver a personalized
game to you every couple of weeks. If you do not wish to receive our
personalized e-mail update, you can simply unsubscribe from our mailing list.
Roaming
Because ZapSpot allows users to experience the ZapSpot service from any
machine connected to the internet, we track and store information such as
high-scores, game settings, and sound, video and computer settings to ensure
that users have a similar ZapSpot experience regardless of their location.
Roaming information will be used by ZapSpot to allow users to move to a
different machine or to recreate their ZapSpot experience on one of their own
machines.
Marketing and Advertising
ZapSpot may provide certain Requested, Calculated, or Roaming information to
third parties such as marketers and advertisers, who make use of general
customer data. We assure you that such disclosure does not include any
information which could personally identify you or be directly associated with
you as an individual. For example, we may provide an advertiser with the ability
to target customers that are playing a certain game or live in certain zip codes
or countries.
In the course of using ZapSpot products and services, ZapSpot will also be
tracking usage information such as which games you tend to play most often and
which advertisements you've clicked on. In general, we will use this Calculated
Information to help target special offers and advertisements to you. If you do
not want us to use usage information to present personalized advertisements and
promotions, you can simply opt-out of the personalization.
