2. How We Use Information We Collect.
We

electronic newsletters and otherwise stop receiving any further promotions and
other commercial communications by following the "unsubscribe"

We

all of the services we offer that require an GMVTHub & Gamelevate Account,
which is where the information you provide is maintained. In addition, we may
replace past names associated with your GMVTHub & Gamelevate Account, so
that you are represented consistently across all our services.
When
you contact GMVTHub & Gamelevate, we retain a record of your communications
to help solve any issues you might be facing, or to maintain a record to assist
with legal claims. We will keep these records for a period of no more than 6
years. Provided you have consented thereto, we may use your email address to
inform you about the products and services offered on our Service, such as
letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements.
We
use information collected from cookies and other technologies, like pixel
tags, to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our
services. You can reset your browser to reject all cookies or to indicate when
a cookie is being sent. But you need to know that you may not be able to access
or use some features and services on our Service without cookies. A pixel
tag is a type of technology which is placed on a website or within an
email and used for the purpose of tracking activity on a website and is often
used in combination with cookies. For further information about how we use and
collect cookies, see our separate cookie policy located at
www.gamelevate.com/cookies.
We
do not track our users across third party websites and thus do not respond to
Do Not Track ("DNT") signals. However, some third party websites do
keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which
enables them to tailor what they present to you. If you are visiting such
sites, certain website browsers allow you to set the DNT signal on your browser
so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be
tracked.
3. The Advertising on Our Service.
Advertising
on our Service makes it possible for us to offer you the information and
products/services free of charge. We take seriously and make every effort to
make sure that advertising is safe, unobtrusive and as relevant as possible.
Cookies
are used to make that advertising as relevant as possible to the needs and
interests of users of our Service, and more valuable to our advertisers in
being able to show our visitors more relevant ads. Cookies are also used to
avoid you seeing the same ad multiple times and to detect and prevent click
fraud. We use AdSense, Google Analytics and other DoubleClick services
(collectively, "Google® Services"), which help us manage and improve
our Service and help our advertisers better understand and track user interaction
with their ads. When you visit a location on our Service that includes one or
more of these ads, various cookies may be sent to your browser.
We
may use other technologies, including Flash and HTML5, which provide the
functionality for such displays as interactive advertising. We may also use
your IP address to select and provide advertising targeted to that address, in
order to improve the relevance of the ads you see and to measure and report to
advertisers non-personal statistical information about geographical location of
those website visitors who are viewing their ads.
The
advertising you see on our Service is determined by a number of factors
relating to relevance, including (i) your approximate geographical location
base on you IP address and (ii) the subject matter you may be viewing on our
Service. For example, if you are viewing an article about physical health, you
may see ads concerning exercise equipment.
People
have different concerns about privacy. Our goal is to be clear about what
information we collect, so that you can make meaningful choices about how that
information is used. You may set your browser in its "options" or
"preferences" feature in order to warn you before accepting cookies
or to disable all cookies entirely. However, it is important to understand that
many of the services we provide on our Service and to our Service users may not
function properly if your cookies are disabled.
5. Where We Store the
Information
The
data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a
destination outside of your country and the European Economic Area ("EEA")
including, in particular, the United States. It may also be processed by staff
operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such
staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the
processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By
submitting your information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing.
Our
Service allows visitors to share information with others, such as comments on
editorial content and information shared via social media. When you share
information it may as a result become accessible to others, through such
mechanisms as search engines. We cannot be responsible for how others with whom
you may share information may use that information. (See Paragraph 10 below—The
Scope of Our Privacy Policy.)
7. Updating Your Personal Information.
It
is our policy that, whenever you visit our Service, you should be able to
access your personal information, which is information identifying
you such as name, email address, billing information or any other information
which can reasonably be expected to identify you. If that information is
incorrect, we try to provide you ways to update it quickly or to delete it -
unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal
purposes, in which case it will be retained for the periods specified in this
Privacy Policy. When updating your personal information, we may ask you to
verify your identity before we can act on your request.
If
allowed under applicable law, we may reject requests that are unreasonably
repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort (for example, requests
which would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning
information residing on backup systems)).
Where
we can provide information access and correction, we will do so at no cost to
you, except where it would require a disproportionate effort. We aim to
maintain our services in a manner that protects information from accidental or
malicious destruction. Because of this, after you delete information from our
Service, we may not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers
and may not remove information from our backup systems.
Outside
of publicly available information related to professional esports athletes,
content creators, and businesses, we do not share personal information with
companies, organizations and individuals, unless one of the following
circumstances applies:

We will only share non-public, personal information with companies,
organizations or individuals outside of GMVTHub & Gamelevate when we have
your opt-in or other consent to do so.
b.
We will share non-public, personal information with companies, organizations or
individuals outside of GMVTHub & Gamelevate if we have a good-faith belief
that access, use, preservation or disclosure of that information is reasonably

with applicable law, regulations, legal process or enforceable governmental
request;
(ii)enforce
any of our applicable Terms of Service, including any potential violations;
(iii)detect,
prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; or
(iv)protect
against harm to the rights, property, or safety of users of our Service or
service providers, as well as the general public and GMVTHub & Gamelevate
as required or permitted by law.
c.
We may share non-public, personal information with a buyer or other successor
in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization,
dissolution or other sale or transfer of some or all of GMVTHub & Gamelevate’s
assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or
similar proceeding, in which personal information held by GMVTHub & Gamelevate
about our Service users is among the assets transferred.
d.
We may share your information publicly and with our partners such as
third-party content providers, advertisers or connected sites, but in a manner
which does not reveal your personally identifiable information
and which is aggregated with other user information to show
usage of GMVTHub & Gamelevate and third-party products and services offered
on our Service and trends based on such categories as age, gender, geographical
origination and other demographic characteristics.
9. The Protection of Your Information.
We
work hard to protect the information provided by, or collected about, the users
of our Service, from unauthorized access, or alteration, disclosure, or
destruction. In particular:
a.
We encrypt much of that information using SSL.
b.
We review our information collection, storage and processing practices,
including physical security measures, to guard against unauthorized access to
our systems and the information collected and stored therein
c.
We restrict access to non-public, personal information to those of our
employees, contractors and agents, who need to know that information in order
to process it for us, who are subject to the obligation of strict
confidentiality as relates to that information, and who will be subject to
discipline, including termination, if they violate that obligation.

Privacy Policy applies to all of the services offered through our Service.

services offered by other companies or individuals on non-GMVTHub & Gamelevate
websites or applications, including any such websites or applications which may
be referenced on or linked from our Service; and

or individuals, who advertise our Service, editorial or advertising content, or
any of the products or services offered on our Service, and who may use
cookies, pixel tags and other technologies to serve and offer relevant ads.
11. Handling Complaints from Our Service Users
and Regulatory Authorities.
We
regularly review our compliance with this Privacy Policy and with any and all
industry-recommended best practices, as well as applicable laws and
regulations. When we receive a formal written complaint, we will contact the
person who made the complaint to follow up. This is without prejudice to your
right to launch a claim with your local data protection supervisory authority.
We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data
protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of non-public,
personal data that we cannot resolve with the users of our Service directly.
California
residents may choose to request certain information regarding our disclosure of
non-public, personal information to third parties for their direct marketing
purposes or choose to opt out of such disclosure. Our policy is not to disclose
personal information collected online to a third party for directing marketing
without your approval. To make a request or to opt out at any time, please
