THIRD BULLET POKER PRIVACY POLICY
Our Commitment to Privacy
We recognize the desire of our users to guard their privacy. This notice sets out
our privacy policy and the way your information is collected and used. This notice
applies to all information collected from or submitted to www.thirdbullet.com web
site ("our Web Site" or "Third Bullet Poker"). Third Bullet Poker's affiliate web
sites may operate under their own privacy notices as provided at said sites. Our
Web Site contains links to other web sites operated by third parties. Third Bullet
Poker is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third party
web sites and this Notice does not apply to those web sites.
Application of This Notice
This Notice applies only to the information collected from our Web Site by Third
Bullet Poker from the users of our Web Site. It does not apply to information collected
by Third Bullet Poker in any other way, including offline.
The Information We Collect
Our Web Site is not set up to automatically collect personally identifiable information
from each visitor to our Web Site. It does recognize the home server of visitors,
but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider
our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors
that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Web Site. This information
is used only for internal purposes by our technical support staff.
Our Web Site does track certain information about the visits to our Web Site. For
example, we compile statistics that show the numbers and frequency of visitors to
our Web Site and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics are used internally
to improve our Web Site and for product development and marketing purposes generally.
Those aggregated statistics may also be provided to advertisers and other third
parties, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be
used to gather such information. Where you are requested to provide information
to our Web Site, it will typically be relating to your name, e-mail address, phone
number, address, product preference information, as well as other similar personal
information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On
occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with
access to and use of certain information, materials and services. In the case of
newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings
at any time.
How We Use Information
Third Bullet Poker only uses your personal information for specific purposes.
The personal information you provide to us when using our Web Site will be kept
confidential and used to support your customer relationship with Third Bullet Poker,
and to notify you of special offers, updated information and new products and services
from Third Bullet Poker, offers from third parties that we think may be of interest
to you, or used by Third Bullet Poker or third parties for the purpose of conducting
market research or surveys on behalf of Third Bullet Poker. Agents or contractors
of Third Bullet Poker, who are given access to your personal information will be
required to keep the information confidential and not use it for any other purpose
than to carry out the services they are performing for Third Bullet Poker.
With respect to network advertising companies (companies that manage and provide
advertising for numerous unrelated companies), to the extent that Third Bullet Poker
utilizes such advertising companies to provide advertisements on our Web Site, Third
Bullet Poker may provide them with your log-in name and any demographic information
about you that we collect. Those advertising companies may combine that data with
non-personally identifiable data collected by the advertising company from your
computer solely for the purpose of delivering on our Web Site advertisements that
are targeted to you.
Circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal information
to third parties for purposes other than to support your customer relationship with
Third Bullet Poker, such as in connection with a corporate divestiture or dissolution
where we sell all or a portion of our business or assets (including our associated
customer lists containing your personal information), or if disclosure is required
by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.
You can opt out of receiving further marketing from Third Bullet Poker at any time.
We will send you information about our various products and services, or other products
and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only Third Bullet Poker (or agents
or contractors working on behalf of Third Bullet Poker) will send you these direct
mailings. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give
us your personal information. Or, at any time you can easily opt out of receiving
further marketing from Third Bullet Poker by emailing us at
unsubscribe@thirdbullet.com.
Consent to Use of Anti-Cheating Software. Our software package used to access and
use the Service contains certain features designed to detect use of automated programs
that enable artificial (non-human) intelligence to play on our site. Use of such
"bot" software programs violates our Terms and Conditions of Use, and is detrimental
to other players. By installing our software and using the Service, you consent
to our software performing the functions described in this section. Our software
may perform any or all of the following functions in order to detect the use of
illicit automated programs and ensure that we maintain a "cheat free" environment
for all users: (1) scan your list of active software applications while you are
using the Service, (2) scan your list of active processes while you are using the
service, (3) scan the files in your PartyPoker.com-related program folders to ensure
that only "non-hacked" versions of our software are being used. If any of the foregoing
processes reveals a suspect application or process, our software may (1) scan the
files associated with the suspect application or process and compile a composite
mesh (i.e. a profile that characterizes the files associated with the application
or process) to be matched against profiles for known illicit automated programs,
and (2) capture a screenshot of your desktop, and transmit these to PartyPoker.com
for review. Our software will not perform any random search of large portions of
your hard drive or other files, and will not transmit any information to us or to
any third party other than the information necessary to identify use of illicit
automated program as described above. Our software will not alter any files or information
on your computer, and will not interfere with the operation of any of your applications.
You may terminate use of our software at any time by uninstalling the PartyPoker.com
software package.
Legal Disclaimer. The Service operates "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE", without liability
of any kind. We are not responsible for events beyond our direct control. Because
of the complex and constantly changing nature of our technology and business, we
cannot guarantee nor do we represent that there will be error-free performance regarding
the privacy of your Personal Information, and we will not be liable for any indirect,
incidental, consequential or punitive damages relating to the use or release of
Personal Information.
Consent to Privacy Statement. By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
This is our entire and exclusive Privacy Policy. We may occasionally update this
Privacy Statement. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy.
Your continued use of the Service constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy
and any updates.

of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
