Automatically Collected Information

 

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by OpTic. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Properties.

 

Use of Cookies

 

OpTic uses cookies and/or similar technologies on the Properties (collectively referred to as “Cookies“). A Cookie is a small bit of record-keeping information that many websites and other online products and services often store on a user’s computer or device in order to identify it and associate activity with it.

 

When visiting the Properties you may have options to enable or disallow Cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept Cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline Cookies, if you do not want to accept them. We use Cookies to optimize your visit, make your browsing and/or user experience as effective as possible, and let you know about offers and features that we think will interest you. This means that if you disallow Cookies, your use of the Properties may be impaired.

 

Depending on the Property you are using, and the country you are based in, Cookies may be set on your computer or device by either:

  • OpTic – to recognize and associate activity with your computer or device when it visits a Property. OpTic Cookies cannot be used to recognize or associate activity with your computer or device when it visits other, third party websites or online properties.
  • Third Parties – to enable third party features or functionality to be provided on or through our Properties or other online properties (e.g. advertising and analytics). The third parties that set these Cookies may be able to recognize your computer or device both when it visits the Properties or other online properties that use the third party’s features and functionality.

 

Types of Cookies

 

There are four categories of Cookies (necessary, performance, functionality and advertising), as well as technologies that are similar to cookies, that may be served through our Properties. Cookies may also be set by third parties, including our affiliates, the Overwatch League  or Call of Duty League and their affiliates, including Blizzard Entertainment and Major League Gaming, and their vendors and partners.

 

To learn more about your opt-out choices for cookies, please see the Managing Cookies section below. To learn more about your opt-out choices for technologies that are similar to cookies, please see the Similar Technologies section below.

 

Necessary Cookies

 

These Cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around websites or online properties and use their features, such as accessing secure areas of a website.

 

Performance (or Analytics) Cookies

These Cookies collect information about how visitors use a website or online property, for instance, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These Cookies don’t collect information about the actual identity (e.g., name) of a visitor. All information these Cookies collect is aggregated. They are only used to improve how a website or other online property works. We generally contract with third parties (such as Google Analytics), to provide these services on our behalf.

 

Functionality Cookies

These Cookies allow the website or online property to remember choices you make (such as the language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These Cookies can also be used to remember changes you have made related to accessibility (e.g. text size, fonts) and customization. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for such as watching a video. The information these Cookies collect may be anonymized and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

 

Advertising Cookies

These Cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They also help limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations or advertisers.

 

OpTic may partner with third party online advertising and analytics companies to tailor and deliver advertisements, products, services, and promotions on OpTic’s Properties, as well as other online properties which we do not control. To help select the ads of greatest interest to you, these companies may use Cookies to collect and track information such as demographic data (e.g., gender, occupation, etc.), aggregated information, search keywords, geo-location, and device-related data (for example, browser type, language, IP address, Advertising ID, time/date) to select advertisements that are more relevant to your interests and to better personalize the experience for you. In some instances, third-parties may also use Cookies to collect anonymized or device-related information about your visits to OpTic’s Properties in order to monitor the effectiveness of the ads (e.g., by using analytics Cookies) and to provide third-party advertisements about goods and services likely to be of greater interest to you.

 

For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work. You can learn more about opting out of targeted advertising by using the following links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads; Snapchat: https://support.snapchat.com/en-US/a/advertising-preferences. Additionally, you can opt out of some of these services by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal at: http://optout.aboutads.info/.

 

OpTic may use, combine and share anonymized or aggregated information obtained from Cookies with third parties such as vendors or advertising partners. For example, we may use information such as interests or preferences to group you with other people with similar interests or preferences and place you into a market segment. We may then display advertisements which we believe people in your market segment will find relevant. We may also share Information obtained from Cookies with third parties such as vendors or advertising networks in order to permit them to provide services on our behalf or to partner with us in selecting and serving advertisements for us or our advertising partners.

 

Similar Technologies

Adobe Flash Player is an application that allows sites to deploy dynamic web content. For example, we may use Flash Cookies to deliver video content to you on our Properties. Adobe Flash and similar applications use technology to remember settings, preferences, and usage in ways that are similar to browser cookies, but are managed through a different interface than your web browser. You can access your Flash management tools from http://www.adobe.com/ directly to manage your Cookie settings.

 

From time to time, we may use web beacons (or clear GIFs) on our websites or other online properties or include them in the email messages we send you. Web beacons (also known as “web bugs,” “pixel tags,” or “pixels”) are small strings of code that provide a method of delivering a graphic image on a web page or in an email message for the purpose of transferring data. We use web beacons for many purposes, including site traffic reporting, unique visitor counts, advertising, email auditing and reporting, and personalization. For example, we may use these in emails to understand and analyze whether the email was opened or any links were clicked, in order to improve our future communications with you and other users. As a web beacon forms part of a webpage or email it does not have the same opt out options as other Cookies. Generally, you can render them ineffective by opting out of any cookies they set, by turning off images in your email service, or by viewing your emails as “text” rather than “HTML.”

 

If you would like to find out more about Cookies and how to disable cookies you may find the following link useful: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ But please be aware that this is a third-party website that we do not own or operate. Therefore, we cannot guarantee any of the information therein. For more information on how to opt out of Cookies see the Managing Cookies section below, and for more information on how to turn off images in your emails or to view them as text see the “Help” section of your email service provider.

 

We may also use log files, which are files that track actions occurring on the Properties and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.

 

Managing Cookies

 

You can review your options to manage Cookies by:

  • opening the “Help” menu on the browser menu bar. Most browsers will tell you how you can disable or delete Cookies or set your browser to alert you when Cookies are being sent to your computer;
  • visiting your mobile device developer’s website or reviewing your device manual. Most mobile device developers will tell you how you can manage the settings on your mobile device to opt out of and/or delete Cookies from your mobile device, or to limit the use of and/or opt out of targeted advertising;
  • contacting OpTic via the Contacting Us section of this Privacy Policy.

 

If you reject all Cookies, you may not be able to use certain features of our websites and other products and services.

 

We may embed photos and/or video content on our Properties from third-party sources such as YouTube, and these sites may set their own Cookies. Similarly, our Properties may have buttons that enable you to share content on social media or other sites, and these services may set a Cookie on your device. This Cookie Policy does not apply to Cookies set by such features, and OpTic does not control these Cookies set by third parties. We encourage you to review the third-party privacy policy or cookie policy for more information about these Cookies and how to manage them.

 

Permission to Use Cookies

 

By using the Properties you agree, and we will assume you consent, to receive Cookies unless you manage your cookie choices by one of the means set out above.

Please also note that the use of information obtained by third party providers listed in the Cookies List below through cookies placed by them is also subject to their own privacy policies.  We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers, as their privacy practices may vary from ours.

 

Links

 

The Properties contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site, and to read the privacy policy and terms of use of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

 

Security of your Personal Information

 

OpTic takes a range of security measures designed to protect your personal information and keep it confidential (unless it is non-confidential by nature, for example, publicly-available information).  For example, when personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

 

We also take steps to ensure that the personal information collected is protected from misuse and alteration. In addition, we request vendors who process personal information on our behalf to themselves take a range of security measures designed to help protect your personal information.

However, the Internet by its nature is not a secure environment and the nature of security risks is constantly evolving, as are the technical and organizational industry standards relating to management of those risks. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and (b) complete security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through the Properties cannot therefore be guaranteed.

 

Accessing Information and Retention Period

 

If for any reason you are concerned with the way we are using your personal information, or would like to correct, view, update or request that we delete such personal information, you can send your request to us using the Contacting Us section of this Privacy Policy.

 

Your personal information will be retained by OpTic only as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it is collected. We delete your personal information if you terminate your contract with us (as applicable), withdraw your consent or where you request us to delete your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, subject to data retention permitted by applicable law. As an exception, we will not delete your personal information where we still have a legitimate interest to use your personal information. For example, we may still retain your Information to resolve disputes, enforce any applicable Terms of Service or other user agreements, or comply with legal requirements; in this case, your personal information will be blocked from use for any other purpose. In any case, we will not retain or use your personal information longer than necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Due to technical reasons, residual copies of Information that has been removed from your account and/or the Properties may remain in our backup systems.

 

Your Choices

 

About Information Provided by You

 

You have choices over the Information provided by you and by other sources, and how that Information is used by OpTic. If you do not want to provide OpTic with personal information, then you can choose not to provide it.

For example, without providing an email address, you would not be able to sign up for OpTic newsletters.
