By using our site/service you signify your agreement to the privacy polices described herein. If you do not agree with our privacy policies, please do not use our site/service.

Information Collected and Stored by EV-Plus

When you sign up for EV-Plus, EV-Plus will collect and store certain personal information that you knowingly choose to disclose and that is automatically collected by EV-Plus or provided by its users. Personal information you provide us with includes your name, email, gender, and birth date. You will also be able to add a picture of yourself. In some cases we may ask for additional information for security reasons or to provide specific services to you. Once you register you can provide other information about yourself, for example, your current city, hometown, family, relationships, networks, activities, interests, and places. You can also provide personal information about yourself, such as your political and religious views.

The personal information collected by us will be used in several ways: to enable us to provide you the service and offer personalized features; to enable us to respond to you or to process, validate, and verify service requests and to perform the requested services; to allow us to charge and invoice you and to contact you regarding changes to the subscribed services; and to give our own web site/service designers information useful for developing new features and services that meet our registrants' needs.

You post Content (as defined in the EV-Plus Terms and Conditions) on the site at your own risk. Although we allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your pages, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We cannot control the actions of other users with whom you may choose to share your pages and information. Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that Content you post on the site will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the site. You understand and acknowledge that, even after removal, copies of Content may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored your Content.

We may collect information about your visit to the http://www.poker-buddy.com/ web site. For example, we may use web site analytics tools to retrieve information from your browser, including the site you came from, the search engine(s) and the keywords you used to find our web site, the pages you view within the web site, your browser add-ons, and your browser's width and height. Additionally, we collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every web site you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring web site addresses.

In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with EV-Plus, information collected through one EV-Plus service may be combined with information obtained through other EV-Plus services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies.

No Sharing of Information

Except as may be stated expressly in this Privacy Policy, EV-Plus will not share personal information that you give us with any third parties.

Disclosures Required By Law

There are a limited number of situations requiring us to disclose your personal information to others without first receiving your consent: (1) when ordered to do so by a subpoena or court order; (2) if you violate or breach an agreement with us; (3) if we believe conduct by you will harm the property or rights of EV-Plus or those of EV-Plus customers; (4) under exigent circumstances to protect the physical safety of EV-Plus, its employees, users, or the general public; (5) to validate credit card numbers.

Security Information

Our site/service has physical, electronic, and managerial security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We take many measures to protect this information while it is stored:

• When you use a secure browser, all information you submit to us is transmitted to us over the Internet in an SSL encrypted form. Every secure page has been secured with a digital certificate issued by a third party certification authority.
• We monitor system and application activity logs to identify any unusual activity, from authorized or unauthorized individuals accessing our systems or making changes to stored information. We regularly perform preventative system maintenance and monitoring to ensure the security of our data systems.
• Our employees sign confidentiality agreements and only our employees who need information to perform their job and who have passed background checks are granted access to personally identifiable information or any other confidential data.
• Servers are divided such that critical machines, such as data storage, are not exposed to the web.
• Passwords are stored in the database as hash, which makes it impossible to access a password even if someone has accessed the database.

If you have subscribed for some of our services or are a customer seeking access to your account information, you will need to provide passwords. We recommend you do not divulge your password to anyone. EV-Plus will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited telephone call or e-mail. You are responsible for the secrecy of your passwords.

No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
