Mini-Games.us is committed to protecting your online
privacy when using our web sites. We do not collect and
keep any personal information from you unless you
volunteer it. We also do not collect and keep personal
information online from children under the age of 13
without their parent's consent. Please review the
information below to familiarize yourself with our
policies on Web site privacy. This site and the servers
that make this site available are located in Holland. By
using this site you agree to the transfer, collection,
processing and use of data by this site. Some of our
Mini-Games.us family of Web sites offer different
features and may collect different types of personal
information for different purposes and activities.
A SPECIAL
NOTE FOR PARENTS: Mini-Games.us adheres to the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Parents should
monitor their children's online use. Please help us
protect your child's privacy by instructing them never
to provide personal information on this site or any
other without your permission.
Collection
of Personal Information
Mini-Games.us does not require anyone to share any
personal information in order to enjoy any of our Web
sites. That means you can visit our sites without any
need to register with us. However, most of our sites
contain special sections and privileges for members that
register. We do not collect any personal information
from you or your teenager unless it is voluntarily
provided, for instance when registering for online play,
contests, downloads, or free demos, to participate in
forums, completing online customer surveys or purchasing
products. We attempt to limit the personal information
we ask for, only to what is required to provide you with
the requested service. Those who are under the age of 18
may only purchase products from our online stores with
the permission of their parents or legal guardians.
Children's
Privacy
We do
not collect personal information online from children
under 13 without their parent's consent except in
special, limited circumstances. If your child is under
13 and wants to participate in online game play, forums
or other areas that require personal information, a
parent or guardian must mail or fax a signed permission
form to the administrator of this website before a user
under the age of 13 can complete registration. With
verifiable consent, we may collect personal information
from your child such as a last name, address or e-mail
address when the information is necessary for a
particular activity. When we ask for your permission we
will tell you how you can review your child's
information and ask us to delete the information.
To protect their privacy online, your child may use a
"Login Name" that is not their real name.
If you no longer wish your child to participate in any
website activities that require the collection or use of
personal information, contact our Customer Service. Upon
proper identification, parents may review the personal
information we have collected about their child, request
deletion, or refuse to allow further collection or use.
However, if you ask us to delete your child's
information, we may have to ask your child not to
participate in our activities.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, effective
April 21, 2000, applies to the online collection of
personal information from children under 13. The new
rules spell out what a Web site operator must include in
a privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable
consent from a parent and what responsibilities an
operator has to protect children's privacy and safety
online.

Our Use of
Collected Information
We
use the personal information we collect for the purposes
indicated at the time you or your teenager or child (with
your consent) provides such information. For instance,
if you register in a contest, we will use the
registration information to notify contest winners, or
if you purchase a product, we will use the information
to fulfill the order. Occasionally, and only with
consent at the time we ask for information, we might
also e-mail or mail you or your teenager or your child
to provide information on upcoming Mini-Games.us
products, Web site updates and promotions. If you want
to stop receiving such updates and product information
from Mini-Games.us or our affiliates at any time, just
contact our
Customer Service.
Our mailings and e-mails will also include information
allowing you to ask not to receive such information in
the future.
The Sharing
of Personal Information
Mini-Games.us will never share, sell, rent or otherwise
provide your personal information to any outside
companies or other party without your explicit consent.
If you consent, Mini-Games.us may provide your
information to outside companies that offer products or
services that may be of interest. Except as described in
this policy, we never share personal information that we
receive online from children under 13 with other
companies outside of Mini-Games.us. We will remove your
name from the list we provide to outside companies if
you just e-mail our Customer Service. In special
circumstances, Mini-Games.us may give other companies
access to our information database, but only if
necessary to allow them to provide database or server
maintenance or security, help us process and fulfill
orders or requests, or provide other similar services to
Mini-Games.us. If we do provide access, we require those
other companies to sign confidentiality agreements
promising to keep secret any information they see. If
Mini-Games.us believes that anyone's behavior on our
sites may damage us or our sites or anyone else, we may
disclose the relevant personal information in order to
prevent this harm. In that case, we might try to
identify the wrongdoer, contact them or bring legal
action against them. We may also disclose personal
information if we believe that the disclosure is
required by law, or in response to a legal request.
