The Anonymous Information we collect automatically is statistical data and does not identify any individual. It helps us to administer and improve our Offerings and to deliver a better and more personalized service by enabling us to estimate our audience size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Offerings according to your individual interests, speed up your searches and recognize you when you return to our Offerings. We do not collect Personally Identifiable Information automatically, but we may tie this information to personal information about you that we collect from other sources or you provide to us.
The Offerings are intended for use by residents of the United States only (but are subject to additional geographical restrictions as described in the Terms of Use). The technologies we use for the automatic collection of Anonymous Information may include:
• Cookies (or browser cookies). As is the case with many websites, our Offerings use a technology called “cookies” which are small data files that are downloaded onto your computer. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet, and allows us to tailor your visits to our Offerings to your individual preferences. We may also contract with third party service providers who assign cookies to conduct site tracking for us. These companies use cookies solely to provide us with aggregate data about traffic on our Offerings. Although most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can change your browser to prevent cookies or notify you whenever you are sent a cookie. Cookies may be session-based cookies that are removed after a user leaves a website or persistent cookies that are stored on a user’s computer permanently or until the expiration date. Even without accepting a cookie, you can still access certain of the features on our Offerings, but some features may not function as intended. Users can delete cookies via their browser settings.

Scattered throughout the Offerings are links or forms that can be used to contact us so you can comment, make a complaint, make suggestions and ask questions, register to use our Offerings, post material or request further services. We may also ask you for information when you report a problem with our Offerings. Your email address is required on these forms so we can answer your questions.

We may use Anonymous Information we have collected from you to enable us to display advertisements to our advertisers’ target audiences.

8. ACCESS AND CORRECTION
You have a right to know about the Personally Identifiable Information that we hold about you and gathered through the Offerings, including the right to correct, amend or delete the information that we have on file if it is incorrect. If you wish to exercise these rights please contact us by sending us an e-mail stating your request to [email protected] or contacting us in writing at the address provided below.
If you delete your User Contributions and Submissions from any of the Offerings, copies of your User Contributions and Submissions may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or might have been copied or stored by other users of our Offerings. Proper access and use of information provided on the Offerings, including User Contributions and Submissions, is governed by our terms of use ( playjack.com/terms-and-conditions).
9. SECURITY
The Offerings incorporate safeguards designed to protect the security, integrity and privacy of the Personally Identifiable Information we have collected. We have put in place reasonable precautions to protect information from loss, misuse and alteration, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. While on a secure page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just "surfing".
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Offerings, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the Offerings like message boards, forums or classifieds. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Offerings.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to any of our Offerings. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on any of our Offerings.
While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any Personally Identifiable Information you transmit to us or through any of our Offerings. Once we receive your transmission, we will use reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication may be discarded or archived.
Please note that your email, like most, if not all, non-encrypted Internet communications, may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider sensitive or confidential. If you wish, you may contact us instead via telephone at the numbers provided throughout our Offerings or at the address below.
10. EXTERNAL LINKS
The Offerings may provide links to various websites that we do not control. When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred out of our Offerings and connected to the website of the organization that you selected. Additionally, the Offerings make available to you Games that are owned, operated and controlled by GAN, and subject to GAN’s own terms, conditions, and privacy policies. You should familiarize yourself with such additional terms and policies before playing any Game.
We are not responsible for the nature, quality or accuracy of the content or opinions expressed on such websites, and such websites are not investigated, monitored or checked for quality, accuracy or completeness by us.
Inclusion of any linked website or services on our Offerings does not imply or express an approval or endorsement of the linked website or services by us, or of any of the content, opinions, products or services provided on such websites. Even if an affiliation exists between our Offerings and a third-party website or service, we exercise no control over linked sites or services.
Each of these linked sites or services maintains its own independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. While we expect our business partners and affiliates to respect the privacy of our users, we cannot be responsible for the actions of third parties. If you visit a website that is linked to or from any of our Offerings, we encourage you to consult that website’s privacy policy before providing any personal information and whenever interacting with any website.
11. CONSENT TO PRIVACY NOTICE
Our Offerings are controlled, operated and administered entirely within the United States. By using our Offerings, you signify your agreement to the terms of this Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Notice is part of our terms of use ( playjack.com/terms-and-conditions ). The use of our Offerings is governed by our terms of use ( playjack.com/terms-and-conditions ) and the laws of the State of Michigan.
This Privacy Notice and the notices outlined herein are not intended to and do not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any third party.
12. SPECIAL NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS AND USERS FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
Under California Civil Code § 1798.83, residents of the State of California that have provided any Personally Identifiable Information to us have the right to request a list of all third parties to which we have disclosed Personally Identifiable Information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes.
Alternatively, the law provides that if we have a privacy policy that gives either an opt out or opt-in choice for use of Personally Identifiable Information by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, we may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options. We qualify for the alternative option and have established this Privacy Notice that provides you with details on how you may either opt out or opt-in to the use of your Personally Identifiable Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes.
If you are a resident of the State of California and request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, please send a request to [email protected] with a preference on how our response to your request should be sent.
Additionally, the California Online Privacy Protection Act requires us to disclose how we respond to “do-not-track” requests from our users. At this time, we do not currently respond to “do-not-track” requests from our users’ browsers.
In the event you visit our Offerings from outside the United States, please know that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where our servers are located and our central database is operated. The data protection and other laws of the United States and other countries might not be as comprehensive as those in your country, but please be assured that we take steps to ensure that your privacy is protected. By using our services, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Privacy Notice.
13. MODIFICATIONS TO PRIVACY NOTICE
We may modify this Privacy Notice at any time, at our discretion, and modifications are effective upon being posted at this URL.
It is our policy to post any changes we make to our Privacy Notice on this page. The date on which this Privacy Notice was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable e-mail address for you, and for periodically visiting our Offerings and this Privacy Notice to check for any changes.
If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ Personally Identifiable Information, we will notify you through a notice at this URL or by other reasonable means.
14. ACCOUNT REVISIONS, REVOKING AND DELETING PERSONAL INFORMATION
We welcome your questions, comments and all feedback pertaining to your privacy or any other issue with regard to the Offerings.
At any time, you may ask us to cease any further use of your email address and direct us to delete any Personally Identifiable Information you have supplied. Although it is not always possible to remove or modify such information, we will make reasonable efforts to do so. We cannot delete your Personally Identifiable Information except by also deleting your user account. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. If you have given us information for one of those third parties we mentioned above and we have already passed it on, we may not be able to delete or change the information.
In the event that you have given us Personally Identifiable Information in the past and then have second thoughts or want to update it, or if you have any other questions regarding this Privacy Notice or the Offerings, you may contact us by sending us an e-mail stating your request to [email protected] or by contacting us in writing at the address provided below:

2. COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

You cannot win money or money’s worth from your use of the Games in any manner whatsoever and accordingly this website is not enabled for Internet gaming nor does this website offer real money Internet gaming in any form or format whatsoever.
Other than a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the Chips on the website, you hereby accept that you have no right or title in or to any such Chips and that we have the absolute right to manage, regulate, remove, control, modify and/or eliminate such Chips as we see fit and GAN shall not have any liability to you and anyone for the exercise of such rights, except as may be required by any applicable law or regulation.

> Person-to-person or multi-player games; and
> Single-player games.
3.2 You accept and recognize that the Games are provided for entertainment purposes only and do not afford opportunities to win prizes, money or other form of real currency or goods for any particular game outcome.
4. SESSION COMPLETION
4.1 After a one player Game begins, it will continue until:
> you win;
> you lose;
> you resign; or
> your connection is terminated for any reason or the game window is closed.
4.2 In the event of a multi-stage single-player game where there is still active play of Chips on the table, the Game state may be stored and resumed at a later date.
After a person-to-person Game begins, it will continue until:
> you win;
> you lose;
> you resign; or
> your connection is terminated for any reason in which case you will be deemed to have lost the Game if you cannot reconnect to the Game while it is still in progress (please see the terms of our disconnection policy as set out below).
