We use third-party advertising companies to serve our ads on the Internet. These
third-party advertising companies employ cookie and 1x1 pixel .gif technology
to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads for their clients. To do so, these
companies may use anonymous information about your visits to our Web site and
other Web sites. This information can include: date/time of banner ad shown, the
banner ad that was shown, their cookie, the IP address. This information can also
be used for online preference marketing purposes.

Newsletter
The subscribers
of the GR weekly newsletter, Spam
Revolution, are kept as a list of email addresses only. No other information
is tied to or contained in this list and we have no idea who these maniacs are.
Occasionally, third parties may send special offers or advertisements to newsletter
subscribers, but not very often.
Contest
GR has periodic contests giving away video and computer game oriented prizes.
The demographic data collected by this contest for internal use only. It is used
to assess our audience and to assist in the sale of advertising.
IP
Address
Your IP address is a number that is assigned by your ISP to your
computer to identify it on the internet. GR uses your IP address to determine
total site traffic, help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer
our website. We also sometimes use IP addresses to contact users and occasionally
ban those users who are not complying with our Terms of Use.
Public
Forums
This site provides chat rooms, forums, message boards, and email
discussion groups to its users. Use of these boards, and the entire site, is governed
by GR's Terms of Use. Data collected from the bulletin
boards is used for verification purposes only and is not used in any other way.
Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes
public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your
personal information.
Other
sites
GR contains links to other websites. We cannot be responsible for
their content or for private information that they collect. Please note: Information
you release directly to parties who provide services to Game Revolution, such
as any services or vendors in the SmartShop
or other sites you encounter on the Internet (even sites that are co-branded with
Game Revolution) may be subject to different rules of use or disclosure. We encourage
you to investigate and ask questions before disclosing personal information to
third parties.
Protection
Game Revolution uses industry standard protections, such as firewalls, to make
sure that your data remains confidential. While we will not disclose all our security
measures, they may also include machine gun towers, zombies, a moat, Lee Majors,
pungee stakes, vicious guard monkeys, and a surly elf who will not relinquish
the blue key.
No
Warrantee
Nobody is perfect. We cannot completely ensure that your private
communications and other personal information will not be disclosed to others.
By way of example, without limiting the foregoing, under certain circumstances
we may be forced to disclose information to the government, or hackers may unlawfully
intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or we might disclose
your information to other parties as part of providing additional services to
you. Plus, our wives and girlfriends are extremely nosy. Therefore, although we
try, we can not promise that your personal information or private communications
will remain entirely private.
COPPA
Compliance
Game Revolution is not subject to the terms of COPPA because
the site is not targeted at children under 13. Parts of the site contain depictions
of violence, references to the consumption of alcohol and drugs, Taoist philosophy,
nude video game characters, strong language, and the Spice Girls. The Game Revolution
website is restricted by both Cyberpatrol and AOL Parental Controls. We urge concerned
parents to get involved in their children's online experiences, rather than using
those flawed tools as a crutch.
Game Revolution is committed to protecting
the privacy of children online. Children should not reveal their addresses, phone
numbers or any other personal information to strangers on the Internet. Children
under the age of 13 are prohibited from supplying Game Revolution with any personal
information, through the above services or by any means, without first providing
parental consent. This consent, in the form of a signed letter, must be submitted
by mail to Game Revolution, 740 Gilman St., Berkeley, CA 94710.
