When We Share Information
We will share your information (in some cases personal information) with third parties, that is, parties other than Rubber Duck Software, in the following circumstances:
Friends and other players
In some cases other players will be able to see your username and a game profile. In certain cases your User ID number could be revealed. Access to this information may allow others to view the public information associated with your related social network account.
Legal compliance
Your information, and the contents of your private online communications, may be accessed and disclosed (i) in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); (ii) when we have a good faith belief that we are required to disclose the information in response to legal process; (iii) in other circumstances in which Rubber Duck Software believes the Site or Service are being used in the commission of a crime (including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction); (iv) when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person; and (v) when necessary either to protect the rights or property of Rubber Duck Software including to enforce our Terms of Service or for us to render the service you have requested.
Advertising and 3rd party products/services
We do not share personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes unless you affirmatively agree to such disclosure, typically by "opting in" to receive information from a third party that is participating in a sweepstakes or other promotion on one of our sites. If you do ask us to share your personal information with a third party for its marketing purposes, we will only share information in connection with that specific promotion, as we do not share information with any third party (other than our service providers) on a continual basis. To prevent disclosure of your personal information for use in direct marketing by a third party, do not opt in to such use when you provide personal information on one of our sites.
Business transition
In the event that Rubber Duck Software undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, we may transfer all of your information, including personal information, to the successor organization in such transition. If material changes to Rubber Duck Software's privacy practices will occur as a result of the business transition, we will notify you and others of the business transition prior to transferring your personal information.
Rubber Duck Software provides opt-in, two pass confirmation for its distribution lists. This approach ensures that the recipients of Rubber Duck Software notices have opted into such distributions.
Security of Your Information
Rubber Duck Software implements reasonable security measures to protect the security of your information both online and offline, and we are committed to the protection of customer information.
For user accounts registered directly, Rubber Duck Software profile information is protected by the password each member uses to access their online account. It is important that you protect and maintain the security of your account and that you immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account. If you forget the password to your Rubber Duck Software account, the website allows you to request that instructions be sent to you that explain how to reset your password. Third-party payment services in use by Rubber Duck Software are also expected to encrypt the transmission of payment information (such as a credit card number when purchasing virtual goods or currency).
Whilst we take reasonable precautions against possible security breaches of our websites and our customer databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. We urge you to take steps to keep your personal information safe (including your account password), and to log out of your account after use. If your social network account is hacked, this may lead to unauthorized access to your account on Rubber Duck Software's sites, so be careful to keep your account information secure.
Although we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data while it is being transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we have procedures and security features in place to try to prevent unauthorized access.
