Privacy Policy
Collection
of Information
By using Vemico's
online sites, products, and services, users agree that Vemico collects and
processes the personally identifiable information (as defined below) they
provide by creating a Steam account, by purchasing or selling subscriptions, or
during any exchange with Vemico in connection with the use of their Steam
account. Vemico will not share any personally identifiable information with
other parties except as described in this policy. Vemico also processes
anonymous data, aggregated or not, in order to analyze and produce statistics
related to the habits, usage patterns, and demographics of users as a group or
as individuals. Such anonymous data does not allow the identification of the
users to which it relates. Vemico may share anonymous data, aggregated or not,
with third parties.
Personally
Identifiable Information
"Personally
identifiable information" is information that can be used to uniquely
identify a user such as name, address or credit card number. If you are an EU
user, "personally identifiable information" means "personal
data" within the meaning of article 2 a) of the Directive 95/46 of 24
October 1995. You may be asked to provide personally identifiable information
during the sign in process, and then in connection with the use of Vemico’s products,
services and online sites. While Vemico collects personally identifiable
information on a voluntary basis, for certain products and services Vemico's
collection of personally identifiable information may be a requirement for
access to the product or service or to process a user’s order.
Use of personally
identifiable information
Personally
identifiable information is used internally by Vemico to deliver, develop and
improve products, content and services, to which users have subscribed, and to
answer users’ requests. In addition, Vemico may allow third parties performing
services under contract with Vemico, such as order or payment processors or
merchandise warehouse and fulfillment services, located in and outside the
European Union, to access and use personally identifiable information, but only
to the extent necessary to provide those services.
Vemico
may use personally identifiable information provided by users to send them
information about Vemico, including news about product updates, contests, events,
and other promotional materials, but only if the users agree to receive such
communications. Vemico will not share any personally identifiable information
with third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.
When you
create a Steam account, Vemico collects a user's email address and username,
and at the user's option, first and last name. Depending on their settings,
users agree that some of this information may be searchable and available to
other users within Steam. Vemico has no obligation to keep private personally
identifiable information that a user makes available to other users via Steam
or other Vemico software, such as in multiplayer chat or other public
functions.
External
websites and companies with links to and from Vemico's online sites and
products may collect personally identifiable information about users when users
visit their websites. Third party publishers may also collect personally
identifiable information as a requirement of accessing their games or content. Vemico's
privacy policy does not extend to external websites and companies or third
party publishers with links to or from Vemico’s products and online websites or
who collect personally identifiable information through their game available on
Steam. Please refer directly to these companies and websites regarding their
privacy policies.
Vemico
may release personally identifiable information to comply with court orders or
laws that require us to disclose such information. In the event of a
reorganization, sale or merger we may transfer personally identifiable
information to the relevant third party with the user’s consent if required by
law.
Children Under The
Age of 13
Vemico
will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from any person
under the age of 13. Vemico encourages parents to instruct their children to
never give out personal information when online. Parents who are concerned
about the transfer of personal information from their children may contact us.
Cookies and Other
Information on a User's Machine
Vemico’s
products, services and sites may employ cookies and other technologies such as
web beacons and pixel tags. Cookies are bits of electronic information that can
be transferred to a user's hard drive to customize a person's use of a product
or online site, keep records of a user's access to an online site or product,
or store information needed by the user on a regular basis. Use of cookies is
typically associated with websites. For example, when you sign in to Steam, Vemico
stores your user id and a combination of your IP address and time of login as a
cookie on your hard drive. This cookie allows you to move from page to page
without having to sign in again on each page. Similarly, if you enter
information during your session, such as age verification data, this will be
stored as a cookie and you will not have to re-enter such information during
that session. We may also use third party web site analytic tools that employ
cookies to collect certain non-personally identifiable information concerning
use of our websites, such as referring web site addresses, page views and
browser types.
However,
users can disable cookies by changing their browser settings.
Vemico
also stores on a user’s hard drive a unique authorization key or CD-Key that is
either entered by the user or downloaded automatically during product
registration. This authorization key is used to identify a user as valid and
allow access to Vemico's products, services and third party games. This key is
necessary for Vemico to supply any products and services subscribed by users.
Information
regarding Steam billing, a user’s Steam account, a user’s Internet connection
and the Vemico software installed on a user’s computer is uploaded to the
server in connection with the user’s use of Steam and Vemico software. Vemico
software automatically generates and submits to Vemico bug reports upon a crash
or other fault in the Vemico software, services or Steam games. This
automatically generated bug report information may include information about
other software or hardware on a user's system. Vemico does not associate and
store the automatically generated bug report information with users’ personally
identifiable information. Any bug reporting information manually submitted by
users (e.g. through Vemico's Bug Reporter form) is associated and stored with
personally identifiable information sent voluntarily by the user through a bug
report.
