Privacy Policy
Yabbly, Inc. ("Yabbly") knows that you care about how your personal
information is used and shared, and we take your privacy seriously. Please read
the following to learn more about our privacy policy. By accessing the Yabbly,
Inc Site or Games, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy
Statement.
What Does This Privacy Policy Cover?
This Privacy Policy covers Yabbly, Inc treatment of personal information
that Yabbly, Inc gathers when you are on the Yabbly, Inc website and when you use
Yabbly, Inc services. This policy does not apply to the practices of third
parties that Yabbly, Inc does not own or control, or to individuals that Yabbly,
Inc does not employ or manage.
What Personal Information About Customers Does Yabbly, Inc Collect?
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a
friendly, customized, and efficient experience. We collect the following types
of information from our customers:
Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our website or provide to
us in any other way. You can choose not to provide us with certain information,
but then you may not be able to take advantage of many of our special features.
The personal information you provide is used for such purposes as responding to
your requests for certain products and services, customizing the advertising and
content you see, and communicating with you about specials and new products.
* Registration: In order for you to use our services, you must complete a
registration form. We require your contact information (such as name and email
address). We may also request demographic information and unique identifiers in order
to provide you with a more personalized service. * Ordering: To use those
services on the site for which we charge a fee, we also will require contact
information (such as billing address) and financial information. This information is
used for billing purposes.
Automatic Information:
* We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact
with us via our website or the Yabbly, Inc Games. Yabbly, Inc automatically
receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server logs including your
IP address, Yabbly, Inc cookie information, the page you requested, and your
communications and interactions with other site registrants. Yabbly, Incuses this
traffic data to help diagnose problems with its server, analyze trends and
administer the service. * The Yabbly, Inc service automatically collects usage
information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and use of
the service components, similar to TV ratings that indicate how many people
watched a particular show. This data is only used in the aggregate. This type of
collective data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the
service, so we can make the service appealing to as many customers as possible. In
addition, we may provide statistical information to our partners about how our
customers, collectively, use our service. We share this type of statistical data so
that our partners also understand how often people use their areas and our
service, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal experience. * We also
collect and use information for internal purposes. For example, if you are a
registered user of the Yabbly, Inc services, we may keep records in your account
history of your complaints about other registered users online behavior, and any
reported violation of our Terms of Use that you or someone on your account may
have committed. * Many companies offer programs that help you to visit web sites
anonymously. While Yabbly, Inc will not be able to provide you with a
personalized experience if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these
programs are available.
E-mail and Short Message Service (SMS) Communications:
We may receive a confirmation when you open an e-mail from Yabbly, Inc if
your computer supports this type of program, in order to help us make e-mails more
interesting and helpful. We also send out emails and SMS messages with news or
promotions. If you are a registered user of the Yabbly, Inc services and do not
want to receive e-mail or SMS messages from us, please make sure you have
unselected this option in your user account settings.
Information From Other Sources:
For purposes such as improving personalization of our service, we may receive
information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.
We also sometimes receive updated delivery and address information from our
shippers or other sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next
purchase or communication more easily.

hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your
