Like most website operators, GameHive collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. GameHive purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how GameHive visitors use its website. From time to time, GameHive may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
GameHive also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users of the GameHive API. GameHive only discloses logged in user IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Certain visitors to GameHive's websites choose to interact with GameHive in ways that require GameHive to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that GameHive gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a GameHive account to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with GameHive – by purchasing games or items in games, for example – are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, GameHive collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with GameHive. GameHive does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
