We know that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This Privacy Notice describes how CheatCut Website and CheatCut Application collect and process your personal information through CheatCut websites, services, and applications that reference this Privacy Notice (together the «CheatCut Services»). By using the CheatCut Services, you are consenting to the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What Personal Information About Users Does CheatCut Collect?

We collect your personal information in order to provide and continually improve our services and your experience at CheatCut. Here are the types of personal information we collect:

• Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you provide in relation to CheatCut Services. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our CheatCut Services.
• Automatic Information: We automatically collect and store certain types of information about your use of CheatCut Services, including information about your interaction with content and services available through CheatCut Services. Like many websites, we use «cookies» and other unique identifiers, and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser or device accesses CheatCut Services and other content served by or on behalf of CheatCut on other websites.
• Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources, such as your name and email address when you sign in to CheatCut using a third-party login service.

For What Purposes Does CheatCut Use Your Personal Information?

We use your personal information to operate, provide, develop, and improve the products and services that we offer our customers. These purposes include:

• Provide, troubleshoot, and improve CheatCut Services. We use your personal information to provide the CheatCut Services, process payments, enhance functionality, analyze performance, fix errors, and improve the usability and effectiveness of the CheatCut Services.
• Recommendations and personalization. We use your personal information to recommend features, content, products, and services that might be of interest to you, identify your preferences, and personalize your experience with CheatCut Services.
• Communicate with you. We use your personal information to communicate with you in relation to CheatCut Services via different channels (e.g., e-mail or on-site forums).
• Advertising. We use your personal information to display interest-based ads for features, products, and services that might be of interest to you. We do not use information that personally identifies you to display interest-based ads.
• Fraud Prevention. We use personal information to prevent and detect fraud and abuse in order to protect the security of our customers, CheatCut, and others.

What About Cookies and Other Identifiers?

We use cookies and other technologies (collectively «cookies») to recognize your browser or device, learn more about your interests, and provide you with essential features and services and for additional purposes, including:

• Keeping track of your specified preferences. This allows us to honor your preferences, such as whether or not you would like to see interest-based ads. You may set your preferences for interest-based ads here and other preferences in your user account settings.
• Conducting research and diagnostics to improve CheatCut's content and services.
• Preventing fraudulent activity.
• Improving security.
• Delivering content, including ads.
• Reporting. This allows us to measure and analyze the performance of our services.

CheatCut's cookies allow you to take advantage of some of CheatCut's essential features. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to contribute content, review films or TV Shows, add items to your Watchlist, or use any CheatCut Services that require you to sign in.

Approved third parties may also set cookies when you interact with CheatCut Services. Third parties include providers of measurement and analytics services, social media networks, ad networks, ad serving companies, and advertising companies. Third parties use cookies in the process of delivering content, including ads relevant to your interests, to measure the effectiveness of their ads, and to perform services on behalf of CheatCut. They may automatically receive an IP address when this happens.

You can manage browser cookies through your browser settings. The «Help» feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, how to block cookies, and when cookies will expire. If you block all cookies on your browser, neither we nor third parties will transfer cookies to your browser. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some features and services may not work.

Does CheatCut Share Your Personal Information?

Information about our users is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling our users' personal information to others.

What About Advertising?

Third-Party Advertising and Links to Other Websites: CheatCut Services may include third-party advertising and links to other websites and apps. Third-party advertising partners may collect information about you when you interact with their content, advertising, and services.

Use of Third-Party Advertising Services: We provide ad-serving companies, ad networks and advertising companies with information that allows them to serve you with more useful and relevant ads and to measure their effectiveness. We never share your name or other information that directly identifies you when we do this. Instead, we use an advertising identifier like a cookie or other device identifier. For example, we may share a cookie or advertising identifier together with a request to deliver an advertisement with an ad network to enable you to receive more relevant ads. As an additional example, if you have already downloaded one of our apps, we will share your advertising identifier and data about that event so that you will not be served an ad to download the app again. Some ad companies also use this information to serve you relevant ads from other advertisers.

We design our systems with your security and privacy in mind.

• We work to protect the security of your personal information during transmission by using encryption protocols and software.
• We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in connection with collection, storage, and disclosure of personal customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
• It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computers, devices, and applications. We recommend using a unique password for your CheatCut account that is not used for other online accounts. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

What Choices Do I Have?

• As described above, you can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of the CheatCut Services.
• You can add or update certain information on your profile.
• If you do not want to receive e-mail or other communications from us, please log in to your account and adjust your preferences in your user account settings. If you do not want to receive in-app notifications from us, please adjust your notification settings in the app or device.
• The Help feature on most browsers and devices will tell you how to prevent your browser or device from accepting new cookies or other identifiers, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to block cookies altogether. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some essential features of CheatCut Services, we recommend that you leave them turned on.
• Most devices provide users with the ability to change device permissions (e.g., disable/access location services). For most devices, these controls are located in the device's setting menu. If you have questions about how to change your device permissions on devices manufactured by third parties, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or your device manufacturer.
• If you want to browse our websites without linking the browsing history to your account, you may do so by logging out of your account and blocking cookies on your browser.

Are Children Allowed to Use CheatCut Services?

CheatCut Services are not intended for use by children under the age of 13. If you are under 13, you may not sign up for CheatCut Services or submit information about yourself to CheatCut.

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions

Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.
