 California Privacy Rights

Effective January 1, 2005, under California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (known as the “Shine the Light” law), if an individual who is a California resident has provided personal information to a business in connection with a business relationship that is primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, and if that business has within the immediately preceding calendar year disclosed such individual’s personal information to a third party, knowing or having reason to know that such third party used the information for its direct marketing purposes, then that business is obligated to disclose in writing to such individual upon request, what personal information was shared and with whom it was shared. A business may comply with this law by: 

• (1) having EITHER a published privacy policy of not sharing a customer’s personal information for third-parties’ direct marketing use unless the customer has first affirmatively opted in to such sharing OR a published privacy policy of not sharing a customer’s personal information for third-parties’ direct marketing use if the customer has opted out to prevent his/her personal information from being shared for direct marketing use; AND 
• (2) notifying the customer of his/her right to opt out and providing a cost-free means for the customer to exercise that right. As a nonprofit, Krieger does NOT knowingly sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing uses. For information on how to contact us regarding our data privacy practices, see the Contact Us section at the end of this Privacy Policy.

This refers to a user’s personally identifiable information, such as first and last name, telephone number, email address, mailing address, birth date, and credit card information. Although you may use and access most areas on the Site without having to disclose any personal information, in limited circumstances (described below) we do ask you to provide your personal information. To the extent you disclose your personal information to us, we will only use such information for the purposes for which it was disclosed by you.
• Non-personal Information. When you visit the site, we may collect non-personal information, such as a catalog of the Site pages you visit. Non-personal information is generally collected through the Site from the following sources: server log files, cookies, and other technologies and information that you voluntarily provide.
• Online Donations: Krieger Gaming utilizes PayPal for donations collected on our website. Please read over the PayPal Privacy Policy for information on how your information is used for donations.

• Email Contacts: If you make an inquiry, submit a form, or join our Electronic Mailing list we will collect and use your email address to communicate with you regarding your inquiry or request. 
• Cookies and similar technologies. We and our service providers may use "cookies" or similar technologies on our Site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on your computer that ties your computer to a web server for recordkeeping purposes. Most browsers allow you to control the use of cookies on your computer.

We use your IP address for purposes of calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose problems with our servers, and generally administering the Site. Collecting IP addresses is a standard practice on the Internet. If you wish to keep your IP address private, we recommend investing in a Virtual Private Network. 

Sharing of information about you with third parties

As a general matter, we do not sell, rent or share your personal information with others, except in the following limited circumstances:

• (1) We may employ outside contractors, vendors and service providers to perform services for us or for the Site, and may share your personal information with such contractors, vendors and service providers to the extent necessary for them to perform such services. For example, if you make a donation to us using your credit card, our credit card processing vendors will be given access to your credit card and other personal information for purposes of processing your donation. As another example, our IT service providers may be given access to your personal information as necessary to perform support or maintenance for the operation of the Site, such as data backup and storage. We require that our contractors, vendors and service providers limit their use of our users’ personal information solely to the purposes for which it was disclosed by us, and that they maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such information and not make any further disclosure to others.
• (2) We may disclose your personal information to third parties if doing so is required by law or in response to a court or government order or subpoena or, in our good faith belief, is reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with legal process; (ii) enforce this Privacy Policy and/or our Terms of Use; (iii) respond to third-party infringement claims relating to any information or material you furnish to us; (iv) respond to an emergency; or (v) protect the rights, property or safety of the Organization, the Site, and/or the public.

In the event of such a transfer of your personal information we (or the potential transferee) will provide you with notice and an opportunity to opt out of any such transfer.

How We Protect Your Information

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to data, but unfortunately there is no data on the internet that is 100% secure. While we’ve taken reasonable steps to safeguard your personal information against unauthorized access and disclosure, we do not guarantee the security of any information you transmit to, from, or on the Site. These measures include internal and external reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures, including physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data.

We restrict access to personal information to employees and contractors who have a need to know such information in order to operate, develop, or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations. When visitors to our Site provide personal information, the data is encrypted and protected using industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Amendments - We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy to incorporate, adopt, or comply with changes in law or industry practices at any time and without prior notice. We will not reduce your rights under this policy without your explicit written consent. If we make major changes to this Privacy Policy, we will announce the changes on website, or through email if you have opted into our emailing list. By continuing to use the Site after such notice, you signify your affirmative consent and agreement to all changes and updates of which you have been given notice.
