In order to provide our users with certain products or services on
our Site, WESKEL Games
and its affiliates may collect different types of information. In
particular, we occasionally may need to collect certain types of
personal information in order to provide our users with particular
features, services or offers. “Personal Information” as used
herein means information that identifies a person or allows a
person to be located. Examples of Personal Information may include
a first and last name, a home address, an email address, or a
social security number. The following is a summary of the kinds of
information we collect at the Site from our users, and how we
collect that information:
- Passive Collection
Our software may be programmed to automatically collect certain
information from a user's computer when that user logs on or
moves about our Site. We do not link this information to any
other Personal Information the user tells us; we only use it to
get a broad picture of who is on our Site and which areas our
users are visiting. This information tells us what's important
to our users and what isn't, allows us to make our Site more
interesting and useful, and enhances security and efficiency on
our Site. The two main ways in which we may collect this general
information are through "log files" and "cookies."
- Log Files
Log files are records of user activity collected to analyze
trends, administer the Site, track users’ movements, and
gather broad types of information for aggregate use. The kinds
of general information we collect in the log files include:
- The IP address of the user's computer
- How many people visit our Site
- Which pages of our Site are visited most often
- Which ISPs our visitors come from (e.g. AOL, MSN, etc.)
- Which browsers users are used to visit our Site
(Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.)
- Time of day users visit our Site
- Cookies
WESKEL Games may
also use "cookies" to gauge how users interact with our Site.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. Cookies cannot execute
code or deliver a virus to a computer. Usage of a cookie is
not linked to any personal information, it merely helps the
Site to be more efficient. Typically, a cookie enables a
user's computer to load Web site files faster on subsequent
visits. We may also use cookies to track a user's path for
security purposes, as well as to target a user's interests in
an effort to enhance the user's experience on our Site. If a
user wishes to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, the user
may refer to the browser instructions or help screen to learn
about these functions. If a user rejects a cookie, the user
may still use our Site, however, the user may be limited in
the use of certain areas. For example, if the user disables
cookies the "shopping cart" feature will not work properly.
- Active Collection
At several places on our Site, we collect certain information
that users voluntarily provide to us which may contain Personal
Information. Here is a brief summary of some of the areas on our
Site where users may be asked to provide Personal Information:
- Registration
One or more areas of our Site may require users to register
for access. As part of the registration process we may ask
users for a username, password, or other personal information
in order to verify the user’s identity, establish the account,
promote security, and enable access to various online
features. We may also ask users to complete a survey as part
of the registration process to find out more about who is
using our Site (see more on surveys below).
- Order Fulfillment and Billing
When ordering products or services from us, we will collect
shipping, order and contact information from a user
(including, without limitation, name, address and telephone
number, the products or services ordered, and any comments
provided to WESKEL
Games—e.g., "we love your the game!") and store that
information in a customer database. We will also collect
credit card information when a user orders a product or
service, but this information is only used by WESKEL
Games to process the order and is not stored in the WESKEL
Games customer database.
- Surveys, Contests and Sweepstakes
From time-to-time our site may request information from users
as part of surveys, contests or sweepstakes. Participation in
these surveys, contests or sweepstakes is voluntary and users
have the choice whether or not to disclose such information.
Information requested may include contact information (such as
name and shipping address), demographic information (such as
zip code, gender and age level) and other information about a
user’s interests, preferences, opinions and ideas.
- WESKEL Games
Postcards
If a user sends an electronic postcard through our site, we
collect Personal Information that may include name, the user's
e-mail address, the e-mail address of the recipient, the text
of the message and other Personal Information and store that
information in a database. This allows the recipient to be
able to access and retrieve your electronic postcard, send an
electronic postcard back to the user or enable other features
or services.
- Product Updates and Other Communications
We may collect information whenever a user communicates with
us or asks to receive more information about WESKEL
Games or WESKEL
Games products, services and events (for example, if a
user sends us email or signs up to receive notification of
product updates or new product releases) This information may
include the user's name, e-mail address, or other contact
information.
- How Does WESKEL
Games Use Information Collected on this Site?
WESKEL Games is the
sole owner of the information collected on this Site. Personal
Information that is provided to WESKEL
Games (such as a personal e-mail address) may be used by WESKEL
Games in the following ways:
- to contact users or others about a user’s use of the Site or
about our products and services or about special events or
offers;
- to notify contest winners;
- to respond to comments or requests;
- to request feedback and enable us to develop and improve the
Site and our products and services;
- for internal and marketing/promotional purposes; and
- for the specific purpose for which the information was
provided.
- What Information is Shared
with Third Parties?
We will not sell, share, or rent any Personal Information to third
parties in ways different from that which is disclosed in this
policy without first obtaining the user's authorization.
We may disclose Personal Information to independent contractors,
service providers and consultants who are engaged by or working
with WESKEL Games in
connection with the operation of the Site or the provision of
goods and services offered by WESKEL
Games. For example, we may use credit card processing
companies to process payments for goods and services, outside
shipping companies to ship orders and credit bureaus to check
credit histories. Similarly, we may partner with other parties to
provide specific products or services and will share information
with them in order to facilitate their provision of products or
services (e.g., administration of our mailing lists, order
processing and fulfillment, contest fulfillment and customer
service functions). WESKEL
Games makes an effort to ensure, but cannot guarantee, that
all such independent contractors, service providers and
consultants agree to maintain the confidentiality, security and
integrity of the Personal Information they obtain and agree to the
same level of privacy safeguards that WESKEL
Games itself provides to its users.
Additionally, we may share aggregated information (i.e.
information we collect that does not allow a user to be personally
identified or contacted, for example demographic and site usage
information) with third parties such as partners and advertisers.
This aggregated data is not linked to any Personal Information.
WESKEL Games reserves
the right to share information with third parties if we are
required to do so by law or if in our good faith judgment, such
action is reasonably necessary to comply with the legal process,
to respond to any claims, or to protect the rights of WESKEL
Games, its customers, or the public. Information about our
users, including Personal Information, may be disclosed as part of
any merger, acquisition, debt financing, sale of company assets,
as well as in the unlikely event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or
receivership in which Personal Information could be transferred to
third parties as one of the business assets of the company.
- What choices do I have in the
use and collection of information?
Users who no longer wish to receive promotional e-mail materials
from WESKEL Games may
opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to the
e-mail with "unsubscribe" in the subject line, or e-mailing
WESKELGames@aol.com
and requesting to be taken off the list.
- What security precautions are
taken to protect my information online?
WESKEL Games takes
commercially reasonable precautions to protect our users’
information. Physical, electronic and policy measures are in place
to minimize the loss, misuse, or altering of any information we
receive from users. Additionally, when users are asked to enter a
credit card number, that information is encrypted and is protected
with the advanced SSL encryption software. Encryption makes
unauthorized access to the information much more difficult. While
we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we
also take reasonable precautions to protect user-information
off-line. If you have any questions about the security at our Web
site, you can send an email to
WESKELGames@aol.com
for more information.
- How do links affect my
privacy?
This Site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that WESKEL
Games is not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave
our Site and to read the privacy polices of each and every web
site that collects personally identifiable information. This
privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this
Site. Similarly, if a user enters this Site through a link from
another Web site, WESKEL
Games is not responsible for or bound by the privacy
policies or processes of that Web site.
- How can I update or correct my
Personal Information?
WESKEL Games has an
interest in making sure that the information we do collect is
accurate. To check, verify, correct or update the accuracy of
Personal Information collected by WESKEL
Games, users may contact
WESKELGames@aol.com.
- Special Provisions applicable
to Children under 13.
Although the Site is a general audience site, portions of the Site
pertaining to WESKEL
Games may appeal to children under 13. In order to help
protect children and to comply with applicable law, WESKEL
Games takes special measures to protect the privacy of
those under age 13 (“Children”). Therefore, the following
provisions apply to that portion of the Site and to any user that
WESKEL Games has
actual knowledge is under 13:
To determine who is younger than 13 years old and whether parental
consent is required, we ask all users who wish to register to
submit their date of birth. Those users that indicate they
are less than 13 years of age are taken through a parental consent
process required by law. If given verifiable permission from
a parent, WESKEL Games
may collect and store the following types of personal information
about a child under 13:
Name, email address, mailing address, parent's or guardian's name,
and parent's or guardian's email address.
WESKEL Games makes an
effort to minimize the Personal Information (e.g. first and last
name, address, phone number, email address, etc.), that it
knowingly collects from Children and generally limits the
information it knowingly collects to non-personal information
(e.g. screen name, gender, zip code, etc.). However, from time to
time, we may collect online contact information (i.e. the child’s
and/or the parents email address) from Children in order to
conduct contests or sweepstakes, to offer various online
activities and services (e.g. electronic postcards or
newsletters), or to otherwise respond to a request from child. We
do not condition a child’s participation in any of our online
activities on the disclosure of more Personal Information than is
reasonably necessary to participate in the activity. In accordance
with applicable law, we may also collect name and online contact
information to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the
safety of a child participant on the Site, to protect the security
or integrity of the Site, to take precautions against liability,
to respond to judicial process or to provide information to law
enforcement agencies or for an investigation on matters related to
public safety. In certain circumstances, we are required to notify
parents that we have collected such information and give parents
the opportunity to request that we make no further use of such
information. We do not collect other personal information from
Children unless we first obtain parental consent. The child’s and
his or her parent’s online contact information may be collected in
order to obtain parental consent.
Unless we have obtained parental consent to use Personal
Information for some other purpose, Personal Information knowingly
collected from Children is used only for the purpose for which it
was collected (e.g. to respond to the child’s request or notify a
contest winner), and it is deleted when it is no longer needed for
such purpose. Furthermore, unless we obtain parental consent to
disclose Personal Information to third parties, we will not share
Personal Information about Children with anyone other than the
agents, consultants and service providers who assist WESKEL
Games with the operations of the Site or in providing or
administering the contests, activities, products or services
offered on the Site (e.g. fulfillment houses, delivery companies,
credit card processors, etc.). If WESKEL
Games requests consent to collect any Personal Information
about a child, the child’s parent or legal guardian has the option
to consent to the collection and use of the child’s Personal
Information without consenting to the disclosure of the
information to third parties.
If WESKEL Games has
collected any Personal Information about a child, parents can
review the Personal Information their child has submitted online
and request that any such information be deleted. Parents can also
revoke their consent to the further collection of information from
their child. All such requests must be made in a letter addressed
to WESKEL Games, 1323
Echo Creek St. Henderson, NV 89052-3070 and signed by the parent.
If a parent gives us consents to collect, use and/or disclose
Personal Information from his or her child and we make any
material changes in the collection, use or disclosure practices to
which the parent has previously consented, we will notify the
parent of such changes and obtain consent before using a child's
information in any new way.

questions about this site?

Information collected on our Web site is used, you can contact WESKEL
