Collection and Use of Information
Anonymous Information/Cookies: You generally can visit this website without revealing your identity or any other personal information about yourself. However, like most other websites, we collect anonymous information from visitors to our website. For example, our Web servers collect the Internet protocol (IP) addresses, domain name addresses, and browser type of visitors to the website. We also collect and measure information on visitor activity on the Benchmark Games website, such as the number of visits to the website, average time spent on the website, pages viewed, and similar information. This anonymous information is sometimes known as "clickstream data".

Also, when we collect personal information from you in connection with a transaction, we may extract some information about that transaction in an anonymous format and combine it with other anonymous information such as clickstream data. This combined information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level to help us understand trends and patterns. (If you do not want your transaction details used in this manner, you can disable your cookies.)

We collect the anonymous information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one called "cookies". A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your system. Some pages of the Benchmark Games website use cookies sent by Benchmark Games or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some areas of the website may not function properly.

Personal Information: There are portions of this Web site where we may request "Individual Identification Information" from you, such as to provide you with certain information you request or to support a download. The "Individual Identification Information" collected from you may include your name, address, telephone, fax number, website address (URL) and e-mail address. If you wish to purchase any products or services through this Web site, "Individual Identification Information" will also include credit card information.

We use the Individual Identification Information you provide to respond to your inquiry or to process your request. We may also use Individual Identification Information (excluding credit card information) to provide product and service announcements and other promotional communications, unless you tell us otherwise (See "Choice/Opt-Out" below.)

Information Regarding Children:This Web site is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.

Legal Disclaimer
We may use and disclose information about you, including Individual Identification Information, if we believe it is appropriate to conform to requirements of the law or to comply with legal proceedings, a court order or legal process served on Benchmark Games, Inc. or the website, to protect the rights, property or safety of Benchmark Games, Inc., its users or others, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).

Sharing Information
We do not share, sell, trade or lease Individual Identification Information about you, except as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

If you choose to provide us with your Individual Identification Information, we may transfer this information within Benchmark Games, including any subsidiaries, affiliates and agents, as necessary to respond to and process your request. Also, if Benchmark Games. Inc. is merged with or acquired by another company, sells a portion of its assets or otherwise goes through a business transition, Individual Identification Information and other customer information will likely be part of the transferred assets.

We may share the Individual Identification Information you provide with other companies we have hired to provide services for us. These companies - our vendors and service providers - are permitted to use that information we share with them only to perform the services we have hired them to provide. They are not permitted to use that information for any other purpose. We may share the Individual Identification Information (excluding credit card information) with our business partners whose products or service we think may interest you. If you do not wish to receive such promotional communications from our business partners, see "Choice/Opt-Out" below.

We will release information about you if you direct us to do so. We also may disclose to third parties the anonymous information we collect from the website for purposes of analysis and improvement of the Web site and customer services.

Your information (including Individual Identification Information) may be stored, transferred and processed across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to the United States and other countries or jurisdictions around the world as described in this Privacy Policy, and by using this website, you consent to such cross-border activities.

Choice/Opt-Out
Benchmark Games does not require that you provide us with Individual Identification Information. The choice is yours. However, if you do not desire to give this information, access to some content on this website will not be available to you.

Benchmark Games' website may contain links to other sites, such as Benchmark Games' business partners and sales affiliates. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices used by other sites.

Security of Collected Information
When we collect any Individual Identification Information, we maintain safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access.
