Our Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share, and help you make informed decisions when using Geeworld, located at GEEWORLD.COM and its directly associated domains (collectively, "Geeworld" or "Website"). By using or accessing Geeworld, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy, and you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.. Any improper collection or misuse of information provided on Geeworld is a violation of our Terms of Use and should be reported to us. Any inquiries regarding our Privacy Policy can be sent to: legal@geeworld.com
When you visit Geeworld you provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by us, and website use information collected by us as you interact with our Website. When you register with Geeworld, you provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, your gender and any other personal or preference information that you provide to us.
When you enter Geeworld, we collect your browser type and IP address. This information is gathered for all Geeworld visitors. In addition, we store certain information from your browser using "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We use session ID cookies to confirm that users are logged in. These cookies terminate once the user closes the browser. By default, we use a persistent cookie that stores your login ID (but not your password) to make it easier for you to login when you come back to Geeworld. You can remove or block this cookie using the settings in your browser if you want to disable this convenience feature.
When you use Geeworld, you may set up your personal profile, form relationships, send messages, perform searches and queries, form groups, and transmit information through various channels. We collect this information so that we can provide you the service and offer personalized features. In most cases, we retain it so that, for instance, you can return to view prior messages you have sent or easily see your contact list. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information.
You post User Content (as defined in our Terms of Use) on the Site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your content, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other Users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that User Content you post on the Site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of User Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other Users have copied or stored your User Content.
If you choose to use our invitation service to tell a friend about our site, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email or instant message inviting him or her to visit the site. Geeworld stores this information to send this one-time invitation, to register a friend connection if your invitation is accepted, and to track the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at the email address aforementioned to request that we remove this information from our database.
Geeworld may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the Geeworld service through the operation of the service in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalized experience.
Geeworld does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register for Geeworld or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 18 may provide any personal information to or on Geeworld. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a user under age 18, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a user under 18, please contact us at the email address aforementioned.
 Use of Information Obtained
| |
When you register with Geeworld, you create your own profile and privacy settings. Your profile information, as well as your name, email and photo, are displayed to other users in our network to enable you to connect with people on Geeworld. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Geeworld that we think you may find valuable.
Profile information is used by Geeworld primarily to be presented back to and edited by you when you access the service and to be presented to others permitted to view that information by your privacy settings. In some cases where your privacy settings permit it (e.g., commenting on your profile), other Geeworld users may be able to supplement your profile.
Profile information you submit to Geeworld will be available to other users and visitors of Geeworld. Your name, and profile picture will be available in search results across the Geeworld network, and those limited pieces of information may be made available to third party search engines. This is primarily so that other users can find and contact you. People who see your name in searches, however, will not be able to contact you unless they are a registered Geeworld user, given that your privacy settings allows for such activity. Geeworld may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service. For instance, if a user sends you a new message, or someone comments on your profile, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact. Generally, you may opt out of such emails, though Geeworld reserves the right to send you notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.
Geeworld may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band or movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you our Site and Service. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you and, where there are advertisements, they're more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you add a movie to your list of favorite movies, we might serve you suggestions of similar movies on the Site, without disclosing who you are to the owners of those movies.
We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of Geeworld, to supplement your profile. Where such information is used, we generally allow you to specify in your privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile.
Sharing Your Information with Third Parties
| |
Geeworld is about sharing information with others -fans and people in the Geeworld community- while providing you with privacy settings that restrict other users from accessing your information. We allow you to choose the information you provide to other users and visitors through our Site. Our network architecture and your privacy settings allow you to make informed choices about who has access to your information. We do not provide contact information to third party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you. Geeworld takes action to block access by search engines to personal information beyond your name, profile picture, and limited aggregated data about your profile (e.g. number of reviews).
We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business, such as to host the service at a co-location facility for servers, to send out email updates about Geeworld, to remove repetitive information from our user lists, to process payments for products or services, or to provide search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the Geeworld-specified purposes. We occasionally provide demonstration accounts that allow non-users a glimpse into Geeworld. Such accounts have only limited capabilities (e.g., messaging is disabled) and passwords are changed regularly to limit possible misuse.
We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Geeworld service or using the Geeworld name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies. We may offer stores or provide services jointly with other companies on Geeworld. You can tell when another company is involved in any store or service provided on Geeworld, and we may share customer information with that company in connection with your use of that store or service.
Like many other websites that interact with third party sites, we may receive some information even if you are logged out from Geeworld, or that pertains to non-Geeworld users, from those sites in conjunction with the technical operation of the system. In cases where Geeworld receives information on users that are not logged in, or on non-Geeworld users, we do not attempt to associate it with individual Geeworld accounts and will discard it. If the ownership of all or substantially all of the Geeworld business, or individual business units owned by The Geeworld Studios, were to change, your user information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your user information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.
When you use Geeworld, certain information you post or share with third parties (e.g., a fan or contact), such as personal information, comments, messages, photos, videos or other information, may be shared with other users in accordance with the privacy settings you select. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information in your profile or when posting comments, messages, photos, videos or other items, this information may become publicly available.
Geeworld may contain links to other websites. We are of course not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by Geeworld.
Advertisements that appear on Geeworld are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to users by third party advertisers. They automatically receive your IP address when this happens. These third party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "beacon" images to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. Geeworld does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third party advertisers. Third party advertisers have no access to your contact information stored on Geeworld unless you choose to share it with them. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Geeworld and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any of its advertisers.
Changing or Removing Information
| |
Access and control over most personal information on Geeworld is readily available through the profile editing tools. Geeworld users may modify any of their profile information at any time by logging into their account. Information will be updated immediately. Individuals who wish to deactivate their Geeworld account may do so on the Account page. Removed information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time but will not be generally available to members of Geeworld. Where you make use of the communication features of the service to share information with other individuals on Geeworld, however, (e.g., sending a message to another Geeworld user) you generally cannot remove such communications.
Geeworld takes appropriate precautions to protect user information. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), we make sure that the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services. If you have any questions about the security of our Website, please contact us at the email address aforementioned.
Terms of Use, Notices and Revisions

We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use at any time. Non-material changes and clarifications will take effect immediately, and material changes will take effect within 30 days of their posting on this site. If we make changes, we will post them and will indicate at the top of this page the policy's new effective date. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or through notice on our home page. We encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy. Unless stated otherwise, our current privacy policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
