We may collect certain information from you on or through this website (the *Site*). We use this information to deliver the services offered on the Site, to inform you of changes to the Site or your account, to enhance the Site, to prevent illegal or potentially prohibited conduct, and to enforce our Terms of Use (the *Terms*), which incorporate this Privacy Policy by reference.

This Privacy Policy governs our information management policies including, without limitation, how we gather, store, or share your information, if at all. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information that is gathered or collected offline.

By using the Site and by submitting information on this Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and to any other applicable terms, including the Terms.

The use of cookies allows us to better understand how our users interact with the Site so we can work to improve your user experience.

Most modern Internet browsers allow you to change your settings to prevent the storage of new cookies, receive warnings prior to their storage, or to delete cookies from your computer altogether.

The Information We Collect

Your use of the Site will be anonymous unless you provide us with personally identifiable information or have provided such information in the past.

The information we collect and how we use it falls into these categories:

  • Information provided to us upon registration (ie. the username). This information may be shared with others upon taking action to do so.
  • Information generated by the user through use of the product (ie. HeroClix team and Tournament reports). This information may be shared with others upon taking action to do so. This information may also be used to generate additional site content, such as usage statistics, which may be anonymously shared with others.

Children and Privacy

This Site is NOT directed towards children under the age of 13. We recognizes the importance of maintaining the privacy of children, especially those under the age of 13. We are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding children, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), 15 U.S.C. § 6501, et seq. Except in limited and permitted circumstances allowed by COPPA, we do not and will not knowingly request, collect, store, maintain, or share any personally identifiable information of children under the age of 13, without first obtaining the consent of a legal guardian. In those limited instances, we will only collect reasonably necessary information, and we will not share with third parties any personally identifiable information of a child under the age of 13 without the explicit consent of a legal guardian, or as permitted by COPPA or other applicable law.

You may revoke your consent and request the removal of your child’s information at any time. If you are the legal guardian of a child under the age of 13 and discover that your child has submitted their personally identifiable information without securing your consent, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove this information. If at any point you wish to review, amend, or request the removal of your child’s information, please send an e-mail to webmaster@hcunits.net, and provide the name and account information for your child’s user account.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Notification of Changes

Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be posted to this page so users are always aware of the information we collect and how we use it. Accordingly, please refer back to this Privacy Policy frequently as it may change.
