If you do not agree with this policy, or any part, please do not use our websites or services. Your use any of our websites or services is treated as an acceptance of the version of this policy in effect at the time of your use.

2. What Personally Identifiable Information do we collect and store?

No Personally Identifiable Information is collected when you merely access the public areas of our websites.

We collect and store information which our users voluntarily provide via forms or otherwise on our services, and in electronic or other communications with us. You may opt out of providing any such information by simply choosing not to complete the form requesting the information, and hence choosing not to use that particular service.

For example:

• To use many of the features of services you will need to open an account by choosing a username and password.
• To make use of our customer support service you will need to access the customer support section using your username and password and supply information relating to your query via the online form.
• To enable us to provide a better customer support service we may also ask you to provide contact information including: name, email address, postcode and country, and to provide a number of security questions which we can use to verify your identity if you require assistance in the future. (Note that the questions and the answers you provide are up to you. You may opt out of providing some of this information but it will limit the availability or effectiveness of our support service if you do, or you may not be eligible for a particular support service.)
• We may give you the option of supplying a valid email address so we can contact you in the future with email newsletters about our services, including new game features and special offers.

Some users may not be eligible for certain elements detailed above, for example because there are restrictions on the collection of Personally Identifiable Information from those users.

3. What other information is collected and stored?

We use Cookies, collect and store IP addresses, alphanumeric IDs and other unique identifiers in order to identify specific computers that access the services. See our Cookies page for information on cookies.

We generate and store logs indicating usage of the services such as activity in our games and public and private chat communications. This includes monitoring play patterns and anti-tamper checks which verify the correct internal operation of our software and are designed to spot abusive or inappropriate activities.

We may track your use of certain features and areas of the services to help us improve them.

We store 'save game' and 'game settings' information to enable us to provide a better games service in which your activities and achievements are remembered in the game, and we conduct polls to find better ways of serving the needs of our users.

5. Passing your personal information to third parties

We may supply your Personally Identifiable Information to external third parties who provide a service to us (such as fulfilment of orders placed for merchandise or to assist us in the supply of customer support) and purely for the purpose of that service.

We partner with a number of external payment service provider companies to enable you to make payment via a wide range of payment options. We share your billing information with such companies insofar as is necessary for the processing of your payment or to prevent or detect fraud. These companies have agreed not to retain, share, store or use your Personally Identifiable Information which we pass to them for any secondary purposes.

Your personal information may be transferred to, stored and processed in countries outside your country of residence both in and outside the United States, and used for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

You should be aware that the data protection laws of other countries may not be the same as the data protection laws of your country of residence. By submitting your personal information to Siggi.io, you agree to the transfer, storage and processing of your personal information as described in this section.

Please note that this privacy policy does not apply to any of your Personally Identifiable Information which is collected by the external payment provider companies themselves or to the websites or services of other companies to which we link or which link to us, or which provide goods or services to our users from their websites (such as co-branded, white label or affiliate sites or other sites selling merchandise). Please note that those companies (and not Siggi.io) are responsible for the information which they collect. Please check their privacy polices where appropriate.

We use external companies to provide and serve advertisements or other technologies on the Siggi.io (for example, to collect website statistics or to enable sharing of buttons or widgets). These companies may use information (not including Personally Identifiable Information) about your visits to this and other websites in order to personalize advertisements on this site or other sites and/or to personalize certain features on our site and/or to provide anonymised aggregated statistics concerning use of our site or use of certain features on our site which are shared with other sites (for example, buttons or widgets linking to our site). We do not have access to or control over cookies or other technologies that these third parties may use and the information practices of these advertisers and technology companies are not covered by this policy. If you would like more information about some of these practices and to know your choices about preventing this information being used by certain of these companies, please click here.

Furthermore, information collected from our users by third parties providing goods or services (including advertisements) at or via the services may be shared by those third parties with us and stored by us for the purposes stated in this policy.

Be very careful before making or posting any communications whilst using our services. Certain information is visible to other players of the game including: public and private chat communications, the appearance of your characters and your experience points. Players who include you on their friends list can see which in-game world you are playing on. We may share Game Data with third parties, such as survey and data analysis companies, to help improve the products and services we offer to our players and improve the player experience. "Game Data" includes, but is not limited to, communications posted on our services and player communications. Game Data may contain Personally Identifiable Information.

If you have agreed on our websites, we may provide your email address to our business partners so that they can send you emails with details of goods or services which may be of interest to you including information about special offers or promotions.

6. Safeguarding your Personally Identifiable Information

We will only collect Personally Identifiable Information to the extent we believe it reasonably necessary to serve our legitimate business purposes, and will protect it using the same level of safeguards we use to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of our own equivalent proprietary information. In addition, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that third parties to whom we transfer any Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with this policy will agree to provide sufficient protection.

Note that while we strive to protect all our Personally Identifiable Information, we have all heard of data breaches in well-respected financial and governmental institutions and we cannot ever fully guarantee that such breaches will not happen. We will inform you of any material data breaches that we discover that may compromise your Personally Identifiable Information.

7. Siggi.io's privacy practices in relation to children

We do not knowingly collect or store any Personally Identifiable Information from children under 13.

If we become aware that we hold or have inadvertently disclosed any Personally Identifiable Information for any user aged under 13, it will be deleted from our system to ensure the protection of the child's privacy.

8. Review, correction and deletion of information from our records

If for data protection purposes you are concerned that the Personally Identifiable Information which we hold about you is not accurate, or should you wish to have your Personally Identifiable Information removed from our records, please contact Siggi at hey@siggi.io.
