At Echievements.com, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is important.

How we gather information from users

Log Files

As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log files. The information in the log files includes your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL, Cable, or satellite), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Firefox), the time you visited our site, and which pages you visited throughout our site.

What we do with the information we collect

Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.

Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.

We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on www.echievements.com to communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy; services and products offered by Echievements.com and other topics we think you might find of interest.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.

While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather information. Echievements does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.

Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements

DoubleClick DART cookies

We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through the Google DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (this is called interest based targeting). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Boston, Massachusetts, you may see Boston hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as site about gardening). DART uses what is called non personally identifiable information. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using DoubleClick advertising by visiting DART Ad-Serving and Search Cookie Opt-Out
