This Privacy Policy applies to the Social Cow website located at

collect about you offline (such as over the phone) or in different situations
(such as through email correspondence).
This privacy policy is effective as of
August 1, 2010. In the future, our Site or our practices may change, and if

Information We Collect
Information You Provide: You provide certain personally
identifiable information (such as your name and email address) to Social Cow
when choosing to participate in various activities on the Site such as chat,
posting messages in the games comment section or in our forums, sending
feedback, entering contests, responding to surveys, or subscribing to
newsletters or other mailing lists. Additional information (such as address) may
be collected when uploading a game, or making a purchase.
You may choose to
disclose information about yourself in our online chat rooms, forums, game
comments or in creating user "profiles". Information that you disclose in these
areas is public information, and will be accessible to anyone who uses our Site.
However, you may choose to have your profile page be public or private. In the
case where you chose to make your profile page private, the information there
(including challenges won, "my friends" list, etc.) will only be visible to you.
Other Information We Track: This Site uses passive tracking technologies to log
non-identifiable information such as IP address, browser type and Site usage
(for example: what pages are accessed, how often, referring/exit pages and
URLs). We may also employ "cookies" or similar technologies that provide
additional functionality to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more
accurately. You can set your browser to reject cookies, but if you do, some
features on our Site will not function normally.
How We Use This Information
We use the
information we collect to respond to your requests and provide customer service,
process credit card payments, let you know
about new games and other news from Social Cow, ask for your input and feedback
on what we are doing, provide personalized services and recommendations, and as
may otherwise be described in this Privacy Policy or at the time that we collect
information from you. We use both your personally identifiable information and
certain non-personally identifiable site usage data to improve the quality and
design of the Site and to create new features, promotions, and services by
storing, tracking, and analyzing user preferences and trends. We may also
combine the information you submit to us with information we have collected from
you in other forums, such as through emails or offline, or with publicly
available information or information we obtain from third parties.
