PRIMAL’S COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION

In order to provide you with our services, there are two methods whereby we collect information from you: passive collection of technical information and collection of personally identifiable information.

PASSIVE COLLECTION OF TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Primal automatically collects certain technical information from each visitor, including your IP address, the type of browser you use to surf the Internet, your computer’s operating system, and the website from which you accessed the Site. Your IP address tells us both your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the general geographic location from which you are connecting. We may also use your IP address to track how long you stayed on the Site and what pages you visited. This information is used internally by Primal to help us provide a good web experience to our visitors, including providing proper formatting for our web pages and analyzing which aspects of the site are most effective.

The Site may employ cookies and other technologies such as web beacons and pixel tags. Cookies are bits of electronic information that can be transferred to a user’s hard drive to customize a person’s use of a product or online site, keep records of a user’s access to an online site or product, or store information needed by the user on a regular basis. Use of cookies is typically associated with websites. 

For example, if you enter information during your session, such as age verification data, this will be stored as a cookie and you will not have to re-enter such information during that session. We may also use third party website analytic tools that employ cookies to collect certain non-personally identifiable information concerning use of our websites, such as referring website addresses, page views and browser types.

For more information please see our Cookie Policy.

COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

Personally identifiable information is information that can be used to uniquely identify a user such as name, address or credit card number. You may be asked to provide personally identifiable information during the sign in process, and then in connection with the use of the Site. While Primal collects personally identifiable information on a voluntary basis, for certain products and services Primal’s collection of personally identifiable information may be a requirement for access to the product or service or to process a user’s order.

Personally identifiable information is used internally by Primal to deliver, develop and improve products, content and services, to which users have subscribed, and to answer users’ requests. 

Primal may use personally identifiable information provided by users to send them information about Primal, including news about product updates, contests, events, and other promotional materials, but only if the users agree to receive such communications. Primal will not share any of your personally identifiable information with third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.

External websites and companies with links to and from the Site may collect personally identifiable information about users when users visit their websites. Third party publishers may also collect personally identifiable information as a requirement of accessing their games or content. Primal’s Privacy Policy does not extend to external websites and companies or third party publishers with links to or from the Site.
