This notice describes our privacy practises. By purchasing a product or service, submitting a warranty card, participating in our websites, or otherwise providing us with your Personally Identifiable Information, meaning individually identifiable information such as your e-mail address, name, mailing address, telephone number, social security number, credit card number which is associated with individually identifiable information (“PII”), you are accepting the practises described in this Privacy Policy. These terms and conditions are subject to change from time to time, so you should review them for changes periodically. If we decide to materially change our privacy policy, your continued use of the SIM2 Website constitutes your agreement to any such changes. Please note that anonymous data from which you cannot be identified is excluded from the restrictions described in this Privacy Policy.

Your Privacy
The guidelines contained herein only apply to your visits to sim2.com websites, which are operated by SIM2. Other websites which are linked to/from sim2.com websites (including other SIM2 affiliates, other SIM2 websites, and via banner ads) may have different policies; therefore, please review the privacy policy notices on those websites for details.
While SIM2 does not generally require that you provide us with PII in order to visit and use the SIM2 websites, please note that in order to participate in some activities, it will be necessary for you to provide this information. If you choose not to provide it for those activities, you may not be able to participate in them.

SIM2’s use of the information that you provide
Use of Cookies
SIM2 might uses "cookies" to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalise SIM2's pages, or register with SIM2 sites or services, a cookie helps SIM2 to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your PII, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to SIM2, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SIM2 features that you customised.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you block or erase cookies, we may not be able to restore any preferences or customisation settings you previously specified, and our ability to personalise your online experience would be limited. Please refer to your browser instructions or "help" screen to learn more about these functions.
Use of Web Beacons
SIM2 Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow SIM2 to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. SIM2 may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or SIM2 Newsletters in order to count how many messages have been opened and acted upon. Web beacons are not used to access your PII on the SIM2 network of sites and services; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about SIM2 Web site usage.
Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. SIM2 Web pages may also contain Web beacons placed there by third parties to help determine the effectiveness of our joint promotional or advertising campaigns
Furthermore, SIM2 may ask you to provide PII to enable you to fill out a registration, to participate in contests, chatrooms, on bulletin boards, or to order products and services using this Site. SIM2 may combine the information you provide on our websites with other information we may collect from you offline or from third parties so that we can more effectively tailor our website, services, and offerings to you. If you provide SIM2 with PII, you shall have the right, to inspect, change, amend, or delete such information as specified in paragraph “Consent to Processing”.
Exceptions
Unless it is for the purposes you have requested or originally agreed, SIM2 will not share the PII you provide on the Site with any other parties, except (a) with your consent; (b) as may be required by law or court order; (c) to persons or companies with whom SIM2 contracts to carry out the internal operations of the website or our business; or (d) under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety or property of our users, the public, or ourselves.
With your prior consent
SIM2 may share, with your prior consent, your PII with other affiliated SIM2 companies -- i.e., (i) any company of which more than 50% of its outstanding shares are owned by SIM2, directly or indirectly, or (ii) any company with the name "SIM2" as a part of its trade name -- who may want to contact you about products, services, or other offerings that may be of interest to you. Additionally, only with your consent, SIM2 may share your PII with specific third parties outside of the SIM2 group of companies who may want to contact you about products, services, or other offerings that may be of interest to you.
Please consult the respective privacy policies of each of these companies for information as to their own privacy policy. If you consent to receiving communications from any of these affiliated SIM2 companies, or third parties, you will need to communicate with them directly if you later decide that you no longer wish to receive their communications. Until we advise you, except as indicated above for the initial decision made with your consent to share your PII with SIM2 affiliates and/or specific third parties outside of the SIM2 group of companies, changes or amendments to your PII must be given both to SIM2 and to each such SIM2 affiliate or other company directly, as these changes, amendments, and/or deletions will not be exchanged among SIM2 and other SIM2 affiliates or third parties.

Anonymous Information
“Anonymous Information" refers to information that cannot be tied back to a specific individual such as, but not limited to, visitors' hobbies, interests, purchasing habits, music and preferences. For instance, we may know that 10,000 people visit this Privacy Policy today, but we do not necessarily know their names, where they live, or their date of birth. SIM2 may aggregate, collect, and maintain Anonymous Information about the visitors to our websites. SIM2 may share such information about our visitors with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties; for example, to inform them about the percentage of visitors within a particular age range or about the percentage of male/female visitors.

Security
SIM2 operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary, and only authorised individuals have access to the information provided by our users. SIM2 takes steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with our Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your PII, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you use these services at your own risk.
Credit card numbers are used only for processing payment and are not used for other purposes. However, sending a message to SIM2 does not cause SIM2 to have any special responsibility to you.

If we discover we have received any information from a child under 13 in violation of this policy, we will delete that information immediately.
