B&B may supplement your data with data received from third parties in connection with demographic, advertisement, market and other analytics surveys or services.

 

2. Ad Serving Technology

 

B&B reserves the right to use and disclose the collected, non-personal data for purposes of advertising by B&B or B&B’s partners and contractors.

 

B&B may employ third party ad serving technologies that use certain methods to collect information as a result of ad serving through Services.

 

B&B or third parties operating the ad serving technology may use demographic and geo-location information (for more information regarding use of Location Data see below Section 3) as well as information logged from your hardware or device to ensure that relevant advertising is presented within the Service. B&B or third parties may collect and use data, for such purposes, including but not limited to, data such as IP address, Device ID, MAC address, installed software, application usage data, hardware type, Operating System information, browser information, unique identifiers in browser cookies, Flash cookies, and HTML5 local storage, Internet and on-line usage information and in-game information.

B&B may display to you behaviorally targeted advertising. If you wish to "opt out" of certain targeted advertising, please visit http://www.youradchoices.com and/or www.networkadvertising.org. Please note that the links above may not reach all B&B’s advertising partners and certain behaviorally targeted advertising may still be displayed to you. If you want to be certain that no behaviorally targeted advertisements are displayed to you, please do not use or access the Services.

 

Some services may include the use of in-game advertisements or brand placement. Such ads or sponsorships will be noted as such within the services.

 

Additionally please note that if you “opt out” it does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising. It just means that the advertising you see displayed will not be customized to you and your interests and may be less relevant to you.

 

3. Location Data

Your fine, GPS-based geo-location is not accessed without your consent. Notwithstanding B&B’s partners who are providing location related parts of the Service, B&B will not share your GPS geo-location with third parties without your consent. To the extent B&B makes available GPS geo-location to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy, it will be provided anonymously.

The Services may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags, local shared objects, hardware-based device identifiers, Operating System-based identifiers, clear GIFs and web beacons. B&B treats information collected by cookies and similar technologies as non-personal data.

 

Cookies: A “cookie” is a small file stored by your browser when told to do so by a website. Typically websites place a number of different cookies on an end-user’s machine. Some of the cookies are “1st Party,” from the website itself, and others are “3rd party,” belonging to advertising and analytics entities or social networks. B&B’s cookies do not include personal data and are typically used to quickly identify your device and to “remember” your browser during subsequent visits for purposes of functionality, preferences, and website performance. You can disable cookies or set your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent to your device; however, disabling cookies may affect your ability to use the Services.

 

Flash cookies & HTML5: B&B may also use Flash cookies (local shared objects) and HTML5 local storage. Flash cookies are small files similar to browser cookies, but which are not stored in the browser and can also be used to remember your settings, to personalize the look and feel of the Services, or for advertising and analytics. You may prevent Flash cookies from being stored by following the instructions provided by Adobe at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/disable-local-shared-objects-flash.html.

 

Web Beacons and pixel tags: A “web beacon” or a “pixel tag” is an electronic image (often not visible to the end-user) that allows B&B to count users who have visited certain pages or viewed certain advertisements.

 

Additionally, e-mails and other electronic communications B&B sends to you may contain pixel tags that enable B&B to track your usage of the communication, including whether the communication was opened and/or what links were followed, if any.

 

9. Third Party Terms and Conditions

Please note that your access to and use of the Services may be subject to certain third party terms and conditions and B&B is not liable for any such third parties’ use of your personal data.

 

Certain Services that B&B may offer, such as multiplayer gaming, social networking and gaming console services, may use third party services to provide authentication for the Services with a gaming console ID, social networking ID, or gaming network account. In connection with such use, certain personally identifiable user and/or membership data may be transferred automatically to and from B&B.

 

B&B may disclose your personal data to third parties in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, the sale of substantially all of B&B’s stock and/or assets or other corporate change, including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process provided, however, that this Privacy Policy shall continue to govern such personal data.

 

10. Safeguards

 

B&B follows generally accepted industry standards and maintains reasonable safeguards to attempt to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the information in B&B’s possession.

 

11. Other

 

You may choose to disclose data about yourself in the course of contributing user generated content to the Services.

 

Any data that you disclose in any of these forums, blogs, chats or the like will become public information, and there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality with respect to that data.

 

B&B may store and/or transfer your personal data to its affiliates and partners in and outside of EU/EEA member states and the United States in accordance with mandatory legislation and this Privacy Policy.

 

12. Special Note about Children’s Privacy

 

B&B does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. If B&B learns that B&B has inadvertently gathered personal data from children under 13 years of age, B&B will take reasonable measures to promptly delete such personal data from B&B’s records.

 

B&B understands the need to provide extra privacy protections to users who are children. To that end, features and services such as social networking plug-ins, behaviorally targeted advertising, and collection of data for the purpose of building user profiles are not available to users under 13. B&B also does not allow our third party partners who engage in such practices to access personally identifiable data from users under 13.

 

B&B and its partners do collect non-personally identifiable data from children. This includes, for example, collection of IP-based geolocation data to ensure that the product, service or features served comply with applicable laws of that nation.

 

B&B and its partners also collect data to assess general information about the use of products, such as the number of visitors to our sites and services and which sections of a site or service are popular. B&B also uses this data to provide contextually-relevant advertising to users, to prevent users from seeing the same ad repeatedly, and to allow users to personalize their experience on the site or service (for example, to save a high score in a game). B&B and its partners may also use cookies, pixels, hardware-based identifiers, Operating System-based identifiers, and software-set identifiers, to manage and measure the performance of advertising.

Please note that B&B’s partners may have their own policies related to tracking technologies for analytics and ad-serving purposes. While B&B requires that companies comply with B&B’s privacy policy before B&B allows those companies to access our sites and services, B&B does not actually control third-party data collection and use. B&B encourages parents to review the list of operators below and to become familiar with those parties policies and practices.

 

If you have additional questions about B&B’s Privacy Practices related to children under the age of 13, please contact us at privacy@sticksgolfapp.com, or alternatively at Brain and Bones, 1407 Texas Street, Suite 200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.
