ANA occasionally hires other companies to provide limited services on its behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings and packages, providing customer support, processing transactions, conducting surveys, processing email communications, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the PI they need to deliver the service. Such service providers would be under an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of your information and be prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. We use common carriers to deliver packages and mailings.

·       Business Transfers or Assignments. In the event ANA is engaged in any proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of a business, the purchase or sale of our business, or as part of any bankruptcy proceedings, data and PI is generally one of the transferred assets.

We do not sell your PI or transfer PI to third parties to use for their own benefit; however, we allow certain companies to place tracking technologies like cookies on our sites. Those companies receive information about your interaction with our sites that is associated with your browser or device and may use that data to serve you relevant ads on our sites or others. Except for this kind of sharing, we do not sell any of your information. For more information, please see the section of our policy titled, “Automatic Information” and our Cookie Policy.” 

California Residents

Below are the categories of personal information that ANA collected and disclosed for a business purpose or shared with third parties in the past twelve (12) months.

Retention

ANA will retain PI for the length of time needed to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and for account history purposes unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law or when needed to manage disputes and claims. Data may also be kept for studies and statistics after having been processed so as to prevent it being reassigned to identified persons. ANA may also need to retain documents that contain PI for a longer period to comply with preservation obligations in litigations and government investigations.

Automatic Information

 "Automatic Information" is information automatically collected by our webserver (which may be hosted by a third party) or third-party services (such as Google Analytics) that your web browser automatically makes available to us whenever you visit our website.

We receive and store certain types of Automatic Information whenever you access our websites or interact with us. This includes "Cookies." A "Cookie" is a small text file that is sent to your browser and provide a means for websites to recognize you and keep track of preferences. Among other things, Cookies help us identify returning users and maintain your user session, so you do not have to log in each time you access the site from the same computer.

In addition to Cookies, our webserver automatically recognizes and/or collects (when possible) certain information, such as your web browser and IP address.  An "IP Address" is a number assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet.

We may use such Automatic Information for purposes of system administration, to improve design and content, and in the aggregate to analyze website usage and/or to assess the traffic to the website.

Our websites may have Google Analytics enabled. To find out how Google Analytics collects and

processes data, read "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps" (located at

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We do recognize the General Privacy Control (GPC).  Note: when you use our website, some browsers have Do Not Track (“DNT”) features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to other web browser-based DNT mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time. Please be aware that limiting the ability of website technologies may limit your experience.  If you would like additional information about online tracking and various opt-out mechanisms, please see https://youradchoices.com/  

Because we link to social media sites, and from time to time may include third-party advertisements, these and other parties ANA works with may collect your personally identifiable information about your online activities over time and across different web sites when you visit our website. ANA does not control these third parties and is not responsible for the actions of our third party business partners.

Please note that not all tracking will stop even if you delete cookies.

We may use third-party servicing technology and service providers to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet and sometimes on our Sites. They may collect information about your visits to our Sites, other sites, and your interaction with our products and Services. They may also use information about your visits to send you targeted advertisements for goods and services. This information is collected through the use of a pixel tag or similar technology.

Unsubscribing from Announcements – Opt-out Policy

ANA offers its customers choices for the collection, use and sharing of PI.

From time to time, we send announcements by e-mail: news about coming games, important changes in our websites or services, special offers, etc. You may choose to turn off these announcements at any time by going to your profile and update the "I agree to receive newsletters and offers from Asmodee and its partners" checkbox in the Subscriptions section. If you are not logged in to your account, you may also use the Unsubscribe link and enter the e-mail address that you used for your Account. Please note that if you unsubscribe, you will be removed from our mailing list for marketing messages but you may still receive e-mails from us for other reasons, such as to complete a purchase you requested or to deliver updated terms of service. If you change your mind later, you may turn the announcements back on by returning to your profile and update the "I agree to receive newsletters and offers from Asmodee and its partners" checkbox in the Subscriptions section. 

Upon requesting an opt out, we will work to comply with your request as soon as we can; however, please note that it often takes some time to process these requests. Therefore, it is possible that you may receive announcements scheduled prior to our receipt of your withdrawal of consent. 

Children and Minors

ANA does not direct services to or collect PI of individuals under the age of sixteen (16) and we do not sell the PI of minors.  If you are under age 16, please do not submit personal information to us.  If you are a parent and become aware that your child has provided us with information, please contact us using one of the methods specified below and we will work with you to address this issue. 

Updating Your Personal Information

Security of your Personal and Financial Information

ANA is committed to protecting the security of your personal and/or financial information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal and/or financial information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal and/or information you provide on computer systems with limited access that are located in secured facilities, use industry standard practices for data security, and use reputable payment providers. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as perfect security.

Limitation of Liability. 

NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL ANA BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY ARISE FROM A CLAIM OF BREACH OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY.  Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law, or $10, whichever is less.

Your Rights and Privacy Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, applicable law may entitle you to certain rights and choices as it pertains to your personal information, including the right:
