We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the personal information we collect and how we use and disclose it. This Policy applies solely to personal information collected from Canadian residents through this Site and not other sources. For information about how we collect, use and disclose personal information collected by other means, please contact us at the contact information provided above.

CONDITIONAL USE OF THIS SITE
Your access to and use of this website and its contents (the "Site") is subject to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy" or "Policy"), and all applicable laws. By accessing and using this Site, you (the "User" or "you") accept and agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy without any limitation or qualification.

TERMS OF USE
Your use of this Site is also subject to the Terms of Use posted on this Site ("Terms of Use").

COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We collect personal information about you (i.e. information which may identify you in some way, such as your name, address, age, other contact details such as telephone number, email address etc. and passwords) through this Site only when you voluntarily submit it.  This may be when you register on the Site, request information, submit comments or participate in some game, promotion, survey or other feature of the Site.  Providing personal information is up to you.  If you do not want your personal information collected, please do not submit it.  If you choose not to give personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with access to some or all of the pages on this Site or our other products and services. Occasionally, we may ask you for personal information about other people - for example, your family or authorized representatives. If you give us this information, we rely on you to tell those people that you are giving their personal information to us and to make them aware of this Privacy Policy.

USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may use and disclose your personal information as follows:
We may use your personal information to respond to your questions and requests, to provide you with access to certain areas, features, promotions and games and to communicate with you about your activities on this website.

We may share your personal information with our Related Parties as required in order for them to be able to perform certain functions on our behalf in connection with the Site (such as data hosting and processing, delivery of merchandise, website hosting, administration of the website or promotions or other features on it, marketing, data analysis or customer services). To do so, it may be necessary for us to transmit your personal information outside of Canada, including to Australia, and you agree to this transfer. Further use or disclosure of your personal information by our Related Parties for other purposes is not permitted, except as described below.

We may use your personal information to provide you with product information or promotional and other offers from us or our Related Parties and may disclose your personal information to our Related Parties so that they may send you product information or promotional information directly.*

* However, at the point of collection of your information we will provide you either an "opt in" or "opt-out" mechanism. An "opt-in" mechanism will provide you the opportunity to positively indicate that you would like or do not object to our sending you such further communications or sharing your personal information with Related Parties and we will not send you any further communications or share your personal information unless you have "opted-in". An "opt-out" mechanism will provide you the opportunity to indicate that you do not want us to send you such further communications or share your personal information with Related Parties, and if you "opt-out" we will not send you any further communications or share your personal information.

* Either way, opting-in or opting-out will be up to you and, in addition, if you do not want us to use your personal information for a particular purpose or disclose it to a third party, you may "opt out" at any time by contacting us as provided above. Please note though, by opting-out, you may not be able to participate in certain activities on the Site.

We may use your personal information to manage and administer our business, including to maintain business records for reasonable periods and to meet legal, regulatory, insurance, security and processing requirements.

We may also use your personal information for other purposes set out when your information is collected or in any additional terms and conditions applicable to the particular feature of the Site.

We may use and disclose your personal information as permitted or required by law, regulation or court order, such as for the purpose of or in connection with legal proceedings, as necessary for establishing, defending or exercising our legal rights, or in an emergency to protect the health or safety of Site users or the general public or in the interests of national security.

Except as provided herein, we will not provide any of your personal information to any third parties without your specific consent or as required by law.

CONSENT
Generally, by providing us with personal information we will assume that you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of such information for the purposes identified or described in this Policy, or otherwise at the time of collection. You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use and disclosure of personal information at any time, subject to contractual and legal restrictions and reasonable notice. Note that if you withdraw your consent to certain uses of your personal information we may no longer be able to provide you with access to certain areas of our Site or certain products or services.

We take the protection of children's privacy seriously. We will not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without parental consent. If we determine upon collection that a user is under this age, we will not use or maintain his/her personal information without the parent/guardian's consent. However, in certain circumstances, we may maintain and use such information (in accordance with the rest of this Policy and applicable law) in order to notify and obtain consent from the parent/guardian and for certain safety, security, liability and other purposes permitted under applicable law. A parent/ guardian can review, remove, change or refuse further collection or use of their child's personal information by contacting us as provided above (include child's name, address and e-mail address).
