PRIVACY STATEMENT
Welcome to the USATACTICS.COM website run by IDNMEDIA, Inc. and its affiliate, ("IDNMEDIA," "we," "us," or "our"). IDNMEDIA is committed to respecting the privacy rights and concerns of all users of our USATACTICS.COM ("USATACTICS.COM", "USATACTICS.NET", "USARPG.COM" and "USARPG.NET") website and/or service (collectively, the "Site") and our PC game entitled "USATACTICS" and related software (the "Software") (we refer to the Site and the Software collectively as the "USATACTICS Features"). As such, we have established and implemented this privacy statement to inform visitors to the Site and users of the Software how we use and protect the information we collect. If you have any questions regarding this information or our privacy practices, please see the section entitled "Questions? Contact us" at the end of this privacy statement.
This privacy statement is effective as of October 17, 2007.
What information does IDNMEDIA collect?
IDNMEDIA does not collect personally identifiable information other than that which our visitors voluntarily provide it to us, such as when you set up an account. The following sections describe what type of information we collect, when we collect it and how we use it.
Setting up an account
In order to use certain functionality of the USATACTICS Features, we ask that you submit certain personal information to create a user account. When you register and create an account, we ask for certain information including your e-mail address and your age. Upon activating an account, we will ask you to select a user name and password that will be used so you can securely access and maintain your account.
Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of electronic information that a web site can transfer to a visitor's hard drive to help tailor and keep records of his or her visit to the site. The use of cookies is common on the Internet and many web sites use them. Cookies allow web site operators to better customize visits to the site to the visitor's individual preferences. For example, by setting a cookie you would not have to blog in a user name or password more than once, thereby saving time. We currently save password information in cookies; however, we do not receive or record any personal information in the cookies we use.
Although most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually change your browser to prevent that or to notify you when you are sent a cookie. Even without accepting a cookie, you can still access the USATACTICS Features. However, to access your account, you will have to re-enter your user name and password each time you visit the Site.
Bulletin Boards, Blogs, User Forums and Chat Services
The USATACTICS Features might include certain community features such as blogs, bulletin boards, user forums and in-game chat services. While IDNMEDIA does not actively use any information posted on blogs, bulletin boards, user forums or in-game chat services, IDNMEDIA does keep an ongoing archive of some of such information for record-keeping purposes. We will display an account holder's user name when that account holder posts a message on a blog, bulletin board, or user forum. It is important for each account holder of the USATACTICS Features to understand that if he or she provides personal information in a blog, bulletin board or user forum posting or in-game chat session, other USATACTICS Features account holders will have access to that personal information.
Customer Service
We provide customer service support through e-mail, FAQ and our searchable database. In order to provide customer support, in some cases, we will ask for your e-mail address and user name. Aside from this information, we do not ask for any personal information to provide customer support. We only use information received from customer support requests, including e-mail addresses and user names, for customer support services and we do not transfer or share this information with any third parties.
How do we use the information you provide us?
As stated above, we will use your e-mail address and user name to contact you when we provide customer support.
In addition, we may also use your e-mail address to send you information on updates to the USATACTICS Features from time to time. To opt out of receiving these e-mails, please see the section below titled "How do you opt out?" Please note that if you are participating in a pre-release testing program for the USATACTICS Features, such as an Alpha test or a Beta test, should you opt out, you may no longer be able to participate in the applicable testing program.
We may also provide information about our visitors and account holders to outside parties from time to time. For further details, please see the section below titled "Does IDNMEDIA disclose the information it collects to outside parties?"
We may use the information we collect to tailor your experience through the USATACTICS Features by providing a faster method for you to access your account and submit information to us and allowing us to contact you, if necessary, such as when you win a contest or sweepstakes.
How does IDNMEDIA protect customer information?
We implement a variety of security measures to ensure the security of your personal information on our systems. User personal information is contained in secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of employees and contractors who have special access rights to such systems. Any credit card information you supply us is transmitted and protected via Secure Socket Layer technology ("SSL") and then stored into our databases to be accessed only as stated above.
Does IDNMEDIA disclose the information it collects from its visitors to outside parties?
IDNMEDIA does not currently sell, trade, or otherwise transfer outside the company, its affiliate entities (such as its publisher), or its contractors (such as its customer support representatives) personally identifiable information that account holders voluntarily provide in any account registration, sweepstakes or contest submission. This information is used to better understand how account holders use the USATACTICS Features, to support related transactions made on the site, and to better know our visitors and possibly tailor any specific features, promotions, or other notifications to them. However, this data in an aggregate form without any personally identifiable information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses. Should you change your mind about permitting IDNMEDIA to store the personal information you provided to us, should you no longer wish to receive information from us, or should your information change, we have provided a way for you to correct, update or remove the personal data you gave us. For further details please see the section below titled
"How do you change the information we have for you?"
In the event IDNMEDIA goes through a business transition, such as a merger, is acquired by another company, or sells a portion of its assets, account holders' information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Should any of these events occur, visitors and account holders will be notified via prominent notice on the Site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of user information held by us. If, as a result of the business transition, information will be used in a way inconsistent with this Privacy Statement, users will have a choice with regard to their information as described in
"How do you change the information we have for you?"
Notwithstanding any other term of this privacy statement, we may release any personal information we obtain or collect when we believe its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our USATACTICS Features policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
Individuals under 13 years of age.
In accordance to the 1998 Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), our policy is not to collect information from individuals under the age of 13 years. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not permitted to use the USATACTICS Features. We therefore do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13 years of age. Should you register to this game, we are considering this registrations as, among other things, your statement that you are 13 years of age or older; All other data contradicting this statement, including filling the date of birth fields, is considered void and/or imaginary.
How do you opt out?

How do you change the information we have for you?
To update, modify or delete the information that we have on file for your account, simply log in or click [profile], then click [edit] - under [profile], there you may modify or delete your personal information and settings as you wish. If you wish to delete your email address, you will be required to terminate your account.
Third party links and co-brand relationships.
In an attempt to provide increased value to our visitors, we may choose various third party web sites to link to, and frame within, the Site. We also participate in co-branding and other relationships to offer e-commerce and other services and features to our visitors and account holders. However, even if the third party is affiliated with us, we have no control over these linked sites, each of which may have separate privacy and data collection practices independent of us. Data collected by our co-brand partners or third party web sites (even if offered on or through our site) may not be received by us. As such, we have no responsibility or liability for the actions of these third parties and are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any third party web sites. These linked sites are only for your convenience and you therefore access them at your own risk.
Polls
Polls are issued from time to time either by us or by fellow account holders. Participation in these polls is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as your email address), and demographic information (such as interests or age level). Poll information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the USATACTICS Features and will not be transferred to third parties.
