The Services capture some information about you automatically utilizing background local storage and session storage technologies (“Cookies”). Cookies are used to make a user’s experience more efficient, such as making site navigation easier and recognizing a returning visitor. Cookies are small files or other pieces of data which are downloaded or stored on your computer or other device, that can be tied to information about your use of the Services. Examples of information of this type are your IP address, the browser you are using, the operating system you are using, the pages on the website that you visit and details of your transaction activity. When we use Cookies, we may use “session” Cookies that last until you close your browser or “persistent” Cookies that last until you or your browser deletes them. You may change your browser settings to decline the use of Cookies.

We use third party analytics providers, including FullStory, Amplitude and Google Analytics, which use Cookies to identify the frequency of use of certain areas of our website and to identify preferences. They will use this information to analyze your use of the Services, compile reports on activity for us, and perform further services associated with website use and internet use. They may also transmit this information to third parties where required by law or to the extent that third parties process these data on their behalf. Google Analytics provides a browser add-on that you can download to deactivate Google Analytics, available here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Users of the Services may choose to provide their social media handles and link their social media public profiles. Any data that you choose to share will be available on the public networks. When you visit or link to social media pages, data is processed both by us and the applicable social media provider. Social media providers are unaffiliated with us, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of social media providers. Social media providers have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and we encourage you to review those policies whenever you visit their websites or interact with their platforms.

We also collect information that you provide to us voluntarily.

To create a Rainmaker Games account, we ask for your email and a password, or you may be authenticated through a Google or Discord account.  Registered users may link their online game accounts to their Rainmaker Games account. As we add more games, you will be able to link more game accounts. In order to play games on the Services, we ask that you select a username and choose an icon (from among the provided choices).  You may augment your profile at your option to include a 255-character bio (which will be visible to other users) and link your social media accounts. Your email address is not used to identify you on the Services but rather by us for account management and to communicate with you (e.g., marketing communications, notices of special offers, service announcements, and transactional notices about your game challenges).

Rainmaker Games collects the information that you provide to us when you sign up to receive newsletters, advisories, announcements, and invitations and contact us by email. Please do not submit to us any sensitive personal information.

Some of the games or features on the Services may require the payment of a fee, in which case we will ask for your name, billing address and a payment method, and if payments in crypto-currency are supported, then a wallet address.

If you inquire about a career at Rainmaker Games, you have the option of sending to us a resume containing personal data about you and which we will use solely for employment evaluation purposes. Providing this information is completely voluntary. Please do not submit to us any sensitive personal information.

We collect game play information from game operators. Users can create and join challenges and compete over a period of time with other players. The Services provide a leaderboard that shows how everyone did, so your game play will be available for viewing by other users. The Services automatically track participants’ live match data from the game’s platform via an API data stream. Game operators are unaffiliated with us, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of game operators. Game operators have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and we encourage you to review those policies whenever you play their games, including on the Services.

Creators of a challenge can invite others to join, so your personal information may be provided by another player.

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from users of our Services under the age of 13 and/or their internet usage, and such persons are not authorized to use the Services. If we obtain actual knowledge that a user is under 13, we will take steps to remove that user's personal information from our databases.

We use the personal data we collect to administer the Services and the game play for our users, manage user accounts, respond to your inquiries, complete transactions you initiate, enhance the Services, perform our contractual obligations, provide updates and other important information related to your activity on and with the Services (e.g., service announcements, and transactional notices about your game challenges), inform you of new services or changes in Services (e.g., marketing communications and notices of special offers), process payments, fulfill legal obligations we have to governmental authorities or other third parties, and for other legitimate business purposes.

We may also share your personal data to third parties (within or outside your country of residence) who perform services on our behalf, including without limitation our analytics providers, hosting provider, payment processors, other technology providers and professional advisors.

Rainmaker Games may disclose any information we have about you (including your identity) if we determine that such disclosure is necessary in connection with (i) any investigation or complaint, court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request regarding your use of the Services; (ii) to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, or the rights or property of visitors to or users of the Services; (iii) to enforce or apply Rainmaker Games’ Terms of Use and other agreements, including for billing and collection purposes; or (iv) if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of Rainmaker Games, our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Rainmaker Games reserves the right at all times to disclose any information that we deem necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. Rainmaker Games also may disclose your information when we determine that applicable law requires or permits such disclosure, including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection purposes.

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, we store email addresses and account information until the user requests to be removed from our databases at support@rmg.io.

If you pay fees with a payment card, we do not store payment card information; rather we utilize a payment processor and store only an electronic receipt that sets forth confirming payment details, such as purchase date, the expiration date of the payment card and the payment ID, but not complete payment card information. If payments in crypto-currency are supported, then the transaction data will be stored on the blockchain.

We take reasonable administrative, physical and technical precautions to protect your personal data and communications between us. This includes, when required or as we deem appropriate and feasible under the circumstances, encryption and written commitments from third parties that may have access to your data that they will protect the data with reasonable safeguards.

No Internet or e-mail transmission is ever fully secure or error free, however. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of your data, and we are not responsible for processes and networks that we do not control, including those of the games operators from whom we receive data via API. Users assume the risk of security breaches and the consequences resulting from them. Please be careful in deciding what information you send to us via email or over the Internet.
