At xMU, available at www.xmu.md, one of our top priorities is the privacy of our visitors and members. We can also refer to xMU as "we" or "us". This Privacy Policy describes:
- Information we collect
- How we use and with whom we share this information
- Choices you can make about how we collect, use and share your information
- How we protect the information we hold about you

When you use any xMU service on a game site or service, you gain access to its online community. Further, we can call the site and service of the game, as simply "Service". By using our service, you authorize xMU to collect, store and use in accordance with this Privacy Policy any and all information that you have agreed to provide to us.

When you interact with our Service, we may collect and store information directly from you, as described below.

We may allow you to "register" with us using the account creation form within the Service. You will be required to provide the following information: your email address, password, and other information that helps us verify that you are accessing your account.

xMU may also receive the payment information you provide when your purchase is processed by our payment partner.

When you contact our customer support team for assistance, we will collect and store the contact information you provide (usually your name and email address), information about your game or activity on the Service, and your username. We will also store the correspondence and any information contained therein.

To provide a richer gaming and social experience, we collect information about your game and interaction with other players. Most of this information is collected and stored using log files, which are files on our servers that record the actions taken on our Service.

You may take part in certain activities on our Service that enable you to communicate or exchange information not only with xMU, but also with other users of our Service. These include: participating in player forums and posting public comments, sending private messages or invitations to other users, chatting with other users, posting web links.

We may record and store archives of these communications on xMU's servers to protect the safety and well-being of our users and the rights and property of xMU in connection with the Service. You acknowledge and agree to the recording and storage of such communications for these purposes.

When you access the Service, we collect certain technical information to (i) analyze how you use our sites and services; (ii) provide a more personalized experience; and (iii) manage advertising. We and service providers acting on our behalf, such as Google Analytics, use log files and tracking technologies to collect and analyze certain types of technical information, including cookies, IP addresses, device type, device identifiers, browser types, browser language, links and exit pages and URLs, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, amount of time spent on specific pages, game state, date and time of activity on our websites or games and other similar information. In some cases, we associate this information with your user identification number for internal use. We may also use other technologies, including (i) web beacons that let Us know if a particular page has been visited or an email has been opened; (ii) tracking pixels that allow Us to advertise more effectively by excluding our current users from certain advertisements, identifying the source of a new registration, or showing you advertisements on other websites; and (iii) Local Shared Objects, also known as Flash cookies, which help us prevent fraud, remember your gaming preferences and speed up loading times. You can set your web browser to warn you of attempts to place cookies on your computer, or to restrict the type of cookie that is allowed. Flash cookies act differently than browser cookies and the cookie management tools available in a web browser may not delete flash cookies. To learn more about and manage Flash cookies, you can visit adobe.com and make changes in the privacy settings panel. If you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of playing our games as xMU cookies are necessary to track and improve your gaming experience. Please note that companies that serve ads in our games or on our websites may also use cookies or other technologies, and this practice is governed by their own policies.

We may collect or receive information from other sources, including (i) other xMU users who choose to upload their email contacts; and (ii) third party information providers. This information will be used to complete your profile - primarily to help you and your friends connect. It will be combined with other information we collect.

In general, we collect, store and use your information to provide you with a safe, convenient, efficient, fun and personalized experience. For example, we may use the information we collect from you in one or more of the following ways: - To create your game accounts and allow you to play our games.

We may share your information with third parties, i.e. parties other than xMU, in the following circumstances:

We will share your information with third parties to provide services on our behalf, including payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service, and to assist Us in our marketing efforts. We instruct all such third party service providers to maintain the confidentiality of the information they disclose and not to use your information for any purpose other than to provide services on behalf of xMU.

We do not actively share personal information with third party advertisers for their direct marketing purposes unless you give Us your consent. We may share (i) aggregated information (information about you and other users in the aggregate, but not personally identifiable to you); (ii) anonymous information; and (iii) certain technical information (including IP addresses, MAC addresses of computers) for the development and delivery of targeted advertising on the Service and third party websites. We may also allow advertisers to collect this type of information within the Service and they may share it with Us. Advertisers may collect this information through the use of tracking technologies such as browser cookies and web beacons. The information collected may be used to provide you with targeted selection and delivery of advertisements, to personalize your user experience, to ensure that advertisements for the products and services you see are of interest to you, a practice known as behavioral advertising, and to perform web analytics ( i.e. to analyze traffic and other end user activities to improve your experience). To learn more about behavioral advertising or to opt out of this type of advertising for participating ad networks, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance. Our collection, use and disclosure of anonymous or aggregated information is not subject to any of the restrictions set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Your information and the content of all your online communications (including, but not limited to, chat text, IP addresses, and your personal information) may be accessed and monitored as necessary to provide the Service and may be disclosed: (i) when We believe in good faith, that we are required to disclose information in response to legal process (such as a court order, search warrant, or subpoena); (ii) to comply with any applicable laws or regulations; (iii) if we believe that the Service used to commit a crime, including reporting such criminal activity or exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction; (iv) when We have reason to believe that an emergency has arisen that poses a threat to the health and/or safety of you, another person, or the public at large; and (v) to protect the rights or property of xMU.

In the event that xMU undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or part of its assets, We may transfer all of your information, including personal information, to the successor entity in such transition. If a business transfer results in material changes to xMU's privacy practices, we will notify you and other users (in the manner described in the "Changes to Our Privacy Policy" section below) of the business transfer prior to the transfer of your personal information.

Our websites and games are not intended for children under the age of 13, and We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. Children under the age of 13 must not use our websites or games at any time. In the event that we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from children under the age of 13, we will take reasonable steps to remove such information from our records immediately.

xMU implements reasonable security measures to protect your information both online and offline, and we are committed to protecting customer information. While we take reasonable precautions against potential breaches of the security of our websites and our customers' databases and records, no website or transmission over the Internet is completely secure and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or other breaches will never occur. We encourage you to take steps to keep your personal information (including your account password) secure and log out of your account after use. Hacking your account may result in unauthorized play of your xMU games, so keep your account information secure. If you have questions about the security of our websites, please contact us. Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data during transmission to our site; any transfer is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we have security procedures and features in place to try and prevent unauthorized access.

If we decide to make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will notify you and other users by posting a notice on www.xmu.md or by sending you a notice to the email address we have for you. We may supplement this process by posting notices in our games and other xMU websites. You should check www.xmu.md and this page periodically for updates.

We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively consent to such disclosure, typically by "consenting" to receive information from a third party on one of our sites. If you ask us to share your personal information with a third party for marketing purposes, we will only share the information in connection with that particular promotion as we do not share information with any third party (other than our service providers) on an ongoing basis.
