the applicable tax rate based on your IP address.
1.
Cookies
Cookies
are small files applied to your Internet browser to track movements within
websites. We may link cookie information to personal information. Cookies link
to information regarding what items you have selected for purchase at our
store, pages you have viewed, or games you have played. This information is
used to keep track of your shopping cart and make sure you don't see the same
ad repeatedly, for example. Also, we use cookies to deliver content specific to
your interest and to monitor website or game usage. We and third parties
collect information on what games are played, how much time is spent playing
the games and which ads or links are clicked. Some of our sites use an outside
ad company to display ads. These ads contain cookies. Cookies received with
banner ads are applied by our ad companies, and PM Studios does not have access
to this information. Most browsers are automatically set to accept cookies
whenever you visit a website. You can disable cookies or set your browser to
alert you when cookies are being sent. However some areas of our sites may not
function properly if you do so. You can set your web browser to warn you about
attempts to place cookies on your computer, or limit the type of cookies you
allow.
We
and other third parties may also use flash cookies, also known as "local
shared objects," on our sites that employ Flash technology. Flash cookies
are small files similar to browser cookies and are used to remember the site's
settings to personalize the look and feel of the site. Like normal cookies,
Flash cookies are represented as small files on your computer. One method of preventing
Flash cookies from being placed is to adjust your preferences in the Macromedia Website
Privacy Settings Panel at www.macromedia.com, which is being provided merely
for your convenience.
If
you disable cookies, you may lose some of the features and functionality of
playing Wonderball, as cookies are necessary to track and enhance your game
activities. Please note that companies delivering advertisements in our games
or on our websites may also use cookies or other technologies, and those
practices are subject to their own policies.
Please
note that this privacy policy covers the use of cookies by PM Studios only and
does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers or third-parties.
2.
Clear GIFs And Tracking Pixels
Clear
GIFs (a.k.a. web bugs, beacons or tags) are small graphic images placed on a
web page, web-based document, or in an email message. Clear GIFs are invisible
to the user because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the
same color as the background of the web page, document or email message. We do
not use clear GIFs to collect personal information about you. However, we may
use clear GIFs to capture statistical usage information for our web pages,
features or other elements on a web page. We correlate this information to a
user to personalize user experience and for statistical analysis of user
experiences on our web pages.
We
and third parties may also use tracking pixels, which allow us to advertise
more efficiently by excluding our current users from certain promotional
messages or identifying the source of a new installation.
3.
Internet Log Files
PM
Studios and other third parties also may maintain log files which contain IP
addresses. An IP address is a numeric address that may be assigned to your
computer by your Internet Service Provider. In general, we use log files to
monitor traffic on our websites, to troubleshoot technical problems and
authenticate users' entitlements to our products. In the event of user abuse of
our websites, however, we may block certain IP addresses or game system IDs
provided by our licensed hardware manufacturers. If available, IP addresses and
game system IDs may be used in order to enforce our Terms of Service.
4.
Analytic Metrics Tools and Other Technologies
PM
Studios also uses its own proprietary analytic metrics tool and other third
party analytics technologies to collect information when you use our online
products and services and/or play our games on online and/or on a mobile
device. These tools and technologies use server log files, web beacons,
cookies, tracking pixels and other technologies to collect and analyze certain
types of information, including cookies, IP addresses (including for purposes
of determining your approximate geographic location), mobile or other hardware
device ID or other device identifiers, browser types, browser language,
information passed from your browser (if any), referring and exit pages, and
URLs, platform type, click information, information about your media,
peripheral hardware, software and/or applications installed on your machine
and/or device, domain names and types, landing pages, pages viewed and the
order of those pages, advertising conversion rates, the date and amount of time
spent on particular pages, other Internet and website usage information, game
state and the date and time of activity on our websites or games, information about
how your game is used, including game metrics and statistics, feature usage and
purchase history, as well as unique hardware identifiers such as MAC Address,
mobile unique device ID (if applicable) and other similar information.
The
third party analytics companies who collect information on our sites and in the
context of our online and mobile products and/or services, and other similar
companies like Facebook in connection with the Facebook "Like"
button, may combine the information collected with other information they have
independently collected from other websites and/or other online or mobile
products and services relating to your activities across their network of
websites as well as online and/or mobile products and services. Many of these companies
collect and use information under their own privacy policies.
Some
of PM Studios¡¯ websites and services, including Wonderball and certain websites
and services made available through Wonderball, use Google Analytics, a web

Ad Serving Technology
Wonderball

clear GIFs, web beacons, tracking pixels or other technologies to collect
information as a result of ad serving through our products or services as well

technology enable advertising to be temporarily uploaded into your game, web
browser or mobile device and replaced while you are online. We or third
parties operating the advertisement serving technology may use information such
as age and gender as well as information logged from your hardware or device to
ensure that appropriate advertising is presented within the site, online or
mobile product or service and to calculate or control the number of
unique and repeat views of a given ad, and/or deliver ads that relate to your
interests and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. We or
third parties may collect data for this purpose including IP address (including
for purposes of determining your approximate geographic location), device ID's,
information about your software, applications and hardware, browser information
(and/or information passed via your browser), hardware, machine or device make

network of websites. Many of these companies collect and use information under

Children
Many
PM Studios online or mobile products and services are intended for general
audiences and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
When a PM Studios online or mobile product or service does request age
information, and users identify themselves as under 13, the product or service
will either block such users from providing personal information, or we will
ensure consent is obtained from parents for the collection, use and sharing of
their children's personal information. At that time, we will provide a
description of the information that the child may make publically available,
how we will use the information and other practices. We will not knowingly ask
children under the age of 13 to provide more information than is reasonably
necessary to provide our services.
Please

include such general audience communication services as email, instant
messaging, and online groups, and your child will be able to communicate with,
and disclose personal information to, other users of all ages. Parents can
review, edit, request the deletion, or prevent further collection or use of
their children's personal information or make inquiries regarding this policy
by sending an email support@pm-games.com.

Third Party Sites.
Our
website may contain advertising or services which link to other websites such
as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The fact that we link to a website is not an
endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third
party. If you click on a link to a third party site, including on an
advertisement, you will leave the PM Studios site you are visiting and go to
the site you selected. Because we cannot control the activities of third
parties, we cannot accept responsibility for any use of your personal
information by such third parties, and we cannot guarantee that they will
adhere to the same privacy and security practices as PM Studios. We encourage
you to review the privacy policies of any other service provider from whom you
request services. If you visit a third party website that is linked to Wonderball,
you should consult that site's privacy policy before providing any personal
information.
