1. What information does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information collected on the Services where this Privacy Policy is posted, and, unless Existence Games specifies otherwise in writing, does not apply to any other information collected by Existence Games through any other means.
Please note that this Privacy Policy applies only to information submitted and collected online, and does not apply to information that may be collected by Existence Games offline. This Privacy Policy applies only to Services maintained by Existence Games, and not to our international affiliates, or any websites or apps maintained by other companies or organizations to which we link. Existence Games is therefore not responsible for the content or activities provided on those websites or mobile apps.
This Privacy Policy applies to use and sharing of personal information collected as of the date this Privacy Policy is posted. Finally, the terms of this Privacy Policy are subject to all applicable laws.
2. What types of personally identifiable information do we collect about our guests?
Other than the technical information required for the support of our internal operations (e.g. IP address), we don't require personal information to access our Services. If you prefer not to disclose personal information, you will not be able to enjoy certain features of our Services. Personal information is information that identifies you and may be used to contact you.
Information You Provide to Us
We receive information from our guests and, with our guests' consent, from third parties such as Exodus TCG Emissaries or tournament organizers. We collect personal information directly from our guests when they:
Create an account for Exodus TCG Services
Link an account from one of Exodus’ Services with an account from another Service operated by Existence Games
Participate in games, reward programs, contests, sweepstakes, events, or promotions
Send questions, correspond with us via e-mail or our customer support portal concerning the Services, or their participation in organized events
Participate in polls, surveys, or questionnaires
Provide us with business information, such as when they apply for or have a special role in Exodus TCG Organized Play (such as an Emissary or tournament organizer) or seek employment
Typically, this information includes:
Personal first and last name
Email address
Telephone number
Address and location based information (where necessary for the provision of services)
IP address and persistent device identifier (where necessary for the provision of services)
We may re-post pictures uploaded to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube which contain a pre-determined hashtag. By adding this tag to your picture, you are allowing us to choose to display the picture publicly on one of our Sites. Due to the amount of content available, we are unfortunately not able to notify individual users that their photos have been selected. If you decide that you no longer wish to have your photo displayed, you may: (i) take down the picture from the original website you have posted it on; or (ii) change your profile settings to private on the third-party website.
Additionally, we may also collect other types of non-personal information (known as demographic information) such as your age and/or date of birth, gender, the country where you live, hobbies, and toy and game ownership preferences. This demographic information may be associated with your personal information.
Business Information (Including Emissary or Tournament Organizer Applications)
When you apply to be or serve as an Emissary or tournament organizer, you agree that we may use any personal information submitted to or collected by us may be used for any lawful business purpose. We may share this personal information with independent third parties who run Exodus TCG Organized Play events so that they can contact the Exodus TCG Organized Play organizers about participating in those events and other Exodus TCG Organized Play matters. These independent third parties may not have agreed to abide by the terms of this Privacy Policy. You should ask about such third parties' privacy policies.
Any personal information submitted to us online by job applicants, and by persons specifying that they are submitting personal information in a business capacity, will be used solely for its intended purpose.
Information Collected Through Technology
We collect information through technology to make our Services more interesting and useful to you. For example, when you use one of our online Services, we collect your device ID. Additionally, when you come to one of our Sites, we collect your IP address. An IP address is often associated with the portal through which you enter the Internet, like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your company, or your university.
Location Based Information
We may collect and store your device's source IP address which may disclose the location of your device at the time you access the Services. Advertisements and certain content could be directed to you as a result of this data. In addition, in some cases the Services can deliver content based on your current location if you choose to enable that feature. If you have added your address or your location to your Exodus TCG Organized Play account Settings, we will store such information on our servers (collectively, all location based information collected by Existence Games is “Location Information”). You may always remove this information at any time. However, if you prefer not to disclose Location Information, you may be able to enjoy certain features of our Services and in some cases may not be able to use certain Services at all.
Cookies
Our Sites also use cookies. Cookies are pieces of information that a Site sends to your computer while you are viewing the Site. We and other companies use cookies for a variety of purposes. For example, when you return to one of our Sites after logging in, cookies provide information to the Site so that the Site will remember who you are. You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You can do this through your browser (like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your experience smoother, like the features mentioned above, and some of our services may not function properly.
Web Beacons and Log Files
Our Sites use a variety of technical methods for tracking purposes, including Web beacons. Web beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in images on the pages of various Sites. We also use these technical methods to analyze the traffic patterns on our Sites, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of our Sites. These technical methods may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to another party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf. Our Sites use log files to record which pages visitors to our Site accessed, how long they stayed on the Site, where they came from and other data. We also use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that we send our guests to determine whether our guests have opened those e-mails or clicked on links in those e-mails. The information from use of these technical methods may be collected in a form that is personally identifiable.
Finally, once you've clicked on an advertisement or other link and have left our Sites, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the host of that site to see how your personal information will be handled on their site.
3. How is your personally identifiable information used and shared?
We do not share, sell, or rent your personal information to third parties. Other than the technical information described earlier, we don't require personal information to access our Services. However, if you prefer not to disclose personal information, you may not be able to enjoy certain features of our Services.
Whatever the purpose may be, we will only collect information to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill your requests and our legitimate business objectives.
Exodus TCG Organized Play Tools and Events
For example, if you register on our Sites, your information will be used to provide you the benefits associated with registration, including the ability to create a change Drifter icons and to earn points.

Exodus TCG Organized Play Participants
If you chose to participate in the Exodus TCG Organized Play tournament ratings and rankings portion of our Site, https://exodus-players.com/, then we will use your personal information about you to track your tournament results, Player Ranking, rating, player status (e.g., active, terminated, winner, etc.).

Also if you chose to participate in the Exodus TCG Organized Play tournament ratings and rankings portion of our Site, https://exodus-players.com/, we will share your personal information with independent third parties who run Exodus TCG Organized Play events (such as Emissaries and tournament organizers) so that they can run Exodus TCG Organized Play events that you may participate in. In most cases, these are independent third parties and not Existence Games employees. They've agreed to abide by the terms of this Privacy Policy, but Existence Games cannot guarantee that these independent third parties will safeguard your personal information. If you don't want your personal information shared with independent third parties who run offline Exodus TCG Organized Play events, then don't apply to participate in the Exodus TCG Organized Play tournament ratings and rankings portion of our Site.
Operational Uses
We may also use your personal information for other purposes such as "Operational Uses."

These entities have agreed to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of all the personal information they obtain from us.

Given the nature of this information, no restrictions apply under this Privacy Policy on our right to aggregate or de-personalize your personal information, and we may use and share in any way with third parties the resulting non-personally identifiable information.

6. What kinds of security measures do we take to safeguard your personally identifiable information?
The security and confidentiality of your personal information is extremely important to us. We have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and improper use. To prevent unauthorized electronic access to personal information, we limit access to only those individuals performing a legitimate business function; maintain information collected online behind a firewall-protected server; verify your identity by asking you for an email address or by other means; store your personal information on servers separate from other corporate information and systems; and notify you by email if we learn that a breach has occurred. We also collect personal information from you only on SSL-protected (encrypted) access points and it is transmitted over the Internet only through an SSL-protected (encrypted) channel. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. However, please understand that, despite our best efforts, no security measure is perfect or impenetrable.
