Aggregate Information
The operators may gather aggregate information, which refers to information that your computer automatically provides to us and that cannot be tied back to you as a specific individual. Examples include referral data (the websites you visited just before and just after our site), the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. For example, when you request a page from one of our sites, our servers log your IP address to create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns and for purposes of system administration.
Log Files
WikiGames follows a standard procedure for using log files. These files log visitors visits to websites. All hosting companies do this and are a part of hosting services’ analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring and exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information. The purpose of this information is to analyze trends, administer the site, track users’ movements on the website, and gather demographic information.
Every time you request or download a file from the website, the operators may store data about these events and your IP address in a log file. The operators may use this information to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use or other business purposes.

Personal Information
What personal information do we collect from people who visit our website? We do not collect any personal information. When you visit the website, our servers automatically record the information that your browser sends. This data may include information such as your device’s IP address, browser type and version, operating system type and version, language preferences, the web-page you were visiting before you came to our website, pages of our website that you visit, the time spent on those pages, the information you search for on our website, access times and dates, and other statistics.

The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages may include your name, email address, or user ID information.
Children’s Privacy
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor their children’s online activity. WikiGames does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you think your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records. In general, all of our content is safe for children.
How We Use Your Information
The operators may use non-personal data that is aggregated for reporting about the operators’ website usability, performance, and effectiveness. It may be used to improve the user experience, usability, and content of the site. Any information we collect from you may be used to improve, run, and operate our website and services.
Non-personal information collected is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding website usage. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that it would identify any particular user of the system. We only provide articles and information. We use an SSL certificate, but we never ask for personal or private information like full names, work email addresses, credit cards, or phone numbers.
Information Security
The operators make every effort to protect the personal information of users of the website, including using firewalls and other security measures on their servers. No server, however, is 100% secure, and you should take this into account when submitting personal or confidential information about yourself on any website, including this one.
Much of the personal information is used in conjunction with member services, such as collaboration and discussion. So some types of personal information, such as your username and email address, will be visible to other operators’ members and to the public. The operators assume no liability for the interception, alteration, or misuse of the information you provide. You alone are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please use care when accessing this website and providing personal information.
We secure the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of personal information under our control and custody. However, no data transmission over the internet or wireless network can be guaranteed. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that:
- There are security and privacy limitations of the internet that are beyond our control.
- The security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and our website cannot be guaranteed.
- Despite our best efforts, a third party may view or tamper with any such information and data while it is in transit.
In the event we become aware that the security of the website has been compromised or the user’s personal information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including but not limited to security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities.
In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe there is a reasonable risk of harm to the user as a result of the breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. When we do, we will post a notice on the website and email you.
Advertisements Policy
We respect your right to privacy in all the services we provide. We partner with third-party advertising networks to either display or manage advertising on our website. Our advertising network partner uses cookies to collect information about your activities on this and other websites to provide you with targeted advertising based on your interests.
If you wish to opt out of being served targeted ads, you may do so by clicking here. Please note that this does not opt you out of being served advertising. You will still continue to receive generic ads. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on WikiGames, which are sent directly to users’ browsers.
They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit. Keep in mind that WikiGames has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
Links To Non-Operators’ Websites
