PRIVACY POLICY

A Killing Affair (the “Company”), is committed to protecting your privacy. The Personal Data we collect regarding users of our Website and our Service's privacy is described below. Any capitalized terms not defined herein are defined in our Terms of Service. By submitting Personal Data through our website or emails, you expressly consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data under this Privacy Policy.

Types of Data We Collect: “Personal Data” means data that allows someone to identify or contact you, including, for example, your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, as well as any other non-public information about you that is associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. “Anonymous Data” means data that is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and Anonymous Data, as described below. When you interact with our Website, when you register to use any part of the Services, and when you use the Services. 

Services Registration and Use

  • Account. We may collect Personal Data from you, such as your first and last name, e-mail address, phone number, and password when you create an account to log in to the Services (“Account”). We may also collect your device advertising identifier. 

  • Usage Data. Information about your interactions with the Services, which may include the products or subscriptions you purchase. This also may include details of advertising you receive through the Services.

  • Payment. When you choose to purchase and pay for certain Services, we will collect all information necessary to complete the transaction, including your name, credit card information, and billing information (if we did not collect such information when you initially registered for an Account).

  • Contact Us. If you provide us feedback or contact us via e-mail, we will collect your name and e-mail address, as well as any other content included in the e-mail, in order to send you a reply. 

  • User Content. If you upload any comments or other content to any of our forums, we will collect that content, including any Personal Data you include therein.

General – Automatic Data Collection

  • IP Address. To make our Services more useful to you, our servers (which may be hosted by a third-party service provider) collect information from you, including your browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session), domain name, and/or a date/time stamp for your visit. We may associate your IP address with your account and your other Personal Data.

  • Log Files. As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information may include IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (“ISP”), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users’ movements around the Services, gather demographic information about our user base as a whole, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when you visit the Services again, it will recognize you and the information could then be used to serve advertisements and other information appropriate to your interests. Except as noted in this Privacy Policy, we do not link this automatically collected data to Personal Data. 

  • Analytics. We may use third-party analytics providers (like Google Analytics and Mixpanel) to help analyze how users interact with the Services. These analytics providers use Cookies and other technologies to collect information, such as how often users visit the Website, what pages they visit, and what other websites they used prior to coming to the Website. We use the information we get from these providers only to improve our Website and Services. They collect only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Website, rather than your name or other personally-identifying information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of such analytics with your Personal Data. Although such services plant a persistent Cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Website, the Cookie cannot be used by anyone but the service provider. The provider’s ability to use and share information collected by it about your visits to the Website is restricted by such provider’s terms. 

Use of Your Personal Data.
