PRIVACY POLICY / TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Privacy Policy

We respect the privacy of our users and are always mindful of the latest standards of privacy including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of Europe and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA). On this page, you will find details on our privacy policy.

Effective date: May 25, 2018

Kikizo.com ("us", "we", or "our") operates the website comprising the multiple domain names www.kikizo.com, www.videogamesdaily.com and any other subdomains thereof (the subdomain is the part that comes at the start of the domain name, for example archive.videogamesdaily.com and movies.kikizo.com), collectively, the "Service". This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service, although as of 2018 the scope of this is very limited because the site is just an 'archive' of content from its more active years of publishing several years ago. However, we still take privacy seriously today as we always have, and will continue to for as long as the Service is available.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Definitions

Personal Data

Personal Data means data about a living individual who can be identified from those data (or from those and other information either in our possession or likely to come into our possession).

Usage Data

Usage Data is data collected automatically either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself (for example, the duration of a page visit).

Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on a User’s device.

Data Controller

Data Controller means a person who (either alone or jointly or in common with other persons) determines the purposes for which and the manner in which any personal data are, or are to be, processed.

For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, we are a Data Controller of your data.

Data Processor (or Service Providers)

Data Processor (or Service Provider) means any person (other than an employee of the Data Controller) who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller.

We may use the services of various Service Providers in order to process your data more effectively.

Data Subject

Data Subject is any living individual who is the subject of Personal Data.

User

The User is the individual using our Service. The User corresponds to the Data Subject, who is the subject of Personal Data.

Information Collection And Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

    •   Email address
    •   First name and last name
    •   Cookies and Usage Data

The only way in which we may receive personally identifiable information about you is if you knowingly and willingly provide the information through our Service, for example via email communication with us. In such cases, any personally identifiable information you disclose is entirely optional, and disclosed knowingly and willingly, normally so as to effectively achieve the intended purpose of the communication.

As a best practise, we recommend that you do not voluntarily disclose personal information in public areas of Kikizo such as the "Disqus" third-party commenting system available on some pages, although we do not prevent you from doing this.

In the past, we offered a newsletter service via email. The newsletter service is no longer active. If you received newsletter email communications from us in the past and would like to confirm that your information is no longer on file and/or that no similar communications are received in future, please contact us via the details on this page. Please note that we never have and never would sell any personal details to third parties.

Usage Data

We may also collect information how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

Cookies are files with small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device.

Retention of Data

Kikizo.com will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Kikizo.com will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

Transfer Of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside United Kingdom and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to United Kingdom and process it there.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

Kikizo.com will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

Disclosure Of Data

Legal Requirements

Kikizo.com may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

    •   To comply with a legal obligation
    •   To protect and defend the rights or property of Kikizo.com
    •   To prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
    •   To protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public
    •   To protect against legal liability

Security Of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

In February 2018 we completed measures to improve the security of the Service. As the Service has existed since at least 2003, in the past the Service existed on servers and equipment "of the era". As of 2018 all aspects of the Service have been migrated to modern hosting services with industry-standard architecture and security, and information on the old servers and equipment was securely destroyed. However, we cannot guarantee that data will not unlawfully be retrieved by third parties from the modern hosting services that we use as of 2018.

"Do Not Track" Signals

We do not support Do Not Track ("DNT"). Do Not Track is a preference you can set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked.

You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.

Your Rights

Kikizo.com aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data. Please contact us to make the required changes.

If you wish to be informed what Personal Data we hold about you and if you want it to be removed from our systems, please contact us.

In certain circumstances, you have the right:

    •   To access and receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you
    •   To rectify any Personal Data held about you that is inaccurate
    •   To request the deletion of Personal Data held about you

You have the right to data portability for the information you provide to Kikizo.com. You can request to obtain a copy of your Personal Data in a commonly used electronic format so that you can manage and move it.

Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

Service Providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

For example, the "commenting" system used on some pages of the site is called Disqus, which is an external service that is not affiliated with Kikizo.com or the Service. It has its own terms and conditions and privacy policy, which any users should consider before using such third-party services.

Similarly, we may embed videos from services like YouTube, whose service is again governed by its own terms and conditions and policies.

We do not collect or store the information gathered by third-party services like Disqus or YouTube.

Analytics

We may use third-party Service Providers to monitor and analyze the use of our Service.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.

For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

Advertising

We may use third-party Service Providers to show advertisements to you to help support and maintain our Service.

Such third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads on our Service, whose use of cookies enable them to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our Service or other websites on the Internet. You may opt out of the use of cookies from third-parties for interest-based advertising by visiting the relevant settings page of the third-party vendor.

As of 2018, there are no advertising messages displayed on the Service (only simple banner images promoting the Service itself, which are the same for all users and not served by an adserving platform), and there are no specific third-party vendors in use.

Links To Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children").

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "effective date" at the top of this Privacy Policy.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
