PREAMBLE
This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains the collection, use, processing, transferring and disclosure of “personal information” by WonderBlah, and also contains an Express Consent that applies to those who use our Websites and Services (as defined below). This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and made part of WonderBlah Terms of Service.
Unless otherwise noted on a particular website or service hosted by WonderBlah, this Privacy Policy applies to your use of all websites that WonderBlah operates. This Privacy Policy also applies to all products, information, and services provided through the Websites, including without limitation the Games and Partnerships campaigns operated by WonderBlah and its partners. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of the websites operated by affiliates of WonderBlah unless expressly stated on those websites or any subdomains of the Websites.
In addition, supplemental Privacy Policy terms (“Supplemental Privacy Policy Terms”) may apply to a particular Service, such as for instance the Game Blahvo !. All such Supplemental Privacy Policy Terms will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, that particular Service.
This Privacy Policy also explains our commitment to you with respect to our use, processing, transfer and disclosure of non personal browsing and site usage data that WonderBlah collects as the provider of the Services. “Non personal browsing and site usage data” refers to information that WonderBlah collects indirectly and automatically about your activities while visiting the Websites and using the Services through tools such as Google Analytics. The type of information that we collect focuses on general information such as general location such as country or city where you are located (not intentionally fine-grained location information), pages visited, heat-map of visitors’ activity on the site, information about the browser you are using, etc. In addition, whenever you use a WonderBlah Login Service to log into a Website or use the Services, our servers (which, again, may be hosted by a third party service provider) keep a plain text log of the websites you visit and when you visit them. WonderBlah does not deliberately track people over the Internet.
As used in this policy, “personal information” means information that would allow a party to identify you such as, for example, your name, address or location or email address or information from which a person could deduce your identity.
By accessing or using any of the Services, you are accepting and agreeing to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

As used in this policy, “personal information” means information that would allow someone to identify you, including your name, email address, IP address, or other information from which someone could deduce your identity.
WonderBlah collects and uses personal information in the following ways :
Website Analytics : When you visit our Websites and use our Services, WonderBlah collects some information about your activities through tools such as Google Analytics. The type of information that we collect focuses on general information such as country or city where you are located, pages visited, time spent on pages, heat-map of visitors’ activity on the site, information about the browser you are using, etc ... WonderBlah collects and uses this information pursuant to our legitimate interest in enhancing the security and utility of our Services. The information we gather and process is used in the aggregate to spot trends without deliberately identifying individuals, except in cases where you engage in a transaction with WonderBlah by purchasing merchandise. In those cases, WonderBlah retains certain information about your visit to the Services pursuant to its legitimate interest in understanding its community, and this information is stored in connection with other personal information you provide to WonderBlah.
Note that you can learn about Google’s practices in connection with its analytics services and how to opt out of it by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Log In Services : When you register to obtain a user account on any of the Services (any such person, a “Registered User”), you will be asked to provide personal information to create your account and establish a password and profile. WonderBlah collects and uses this personal information pursuant to its legitimate interest in establishing and maintaining your account providing you with the features we provide to Registered Users. We may use your email address to contact you regarding changes to this policy or other applicable policies. The name or WonderName you provide in connection with your account may be used to attribute you in connection with any content you submit to any Service. In addition, whenever you use a WonderBlah Login Service to log into a Website or use the Services, our servers keep a plain text log of the Websites you visit and when you visit them.
Emails and Newsletters : When you sign up to receive updates from WonderBlah or otherwise subscribe to one of our mailing lists, you will be asked to provide some personal information. WonderBlah collects and uses this personal information pursuant to its legitimate interest in providing news and updates to, and collaborating with, its users and partners.
Email Analytics : When you receive communications from WonderBlah after signing up for the WonderBlah newsletter, campaign updates, or other ongoing email communications from WonderBlah, we use analytics to track whether you open the mail, click on the links, and otherwise interact with what we send. WonderBlah collects and uses this personal information pursuant to its legitimate interest in understanding the interests of its community of users and partners in order to provide more relevant news and updates.
3. What WonderBlah does with Personal Information
We use the personal information you provide to us when you send us emails or sign up to receive updates from WonderBlah in order to respond to your request – for example, to reply to your email or to send you communications about WonderBlah news and campaigns.
When you subscribe to updates from us, your email address is sent to and stored in a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) database (such as for instance MailChimp) hosted on servers that can only be accessed by WonderBlah.
4. Disclosures of Personal Information
In general, it is not WonderBlah’s practice to disclose personal information to third parties other than as made available on the Services. Except as otherwise set forth herein, we may share your personal information in the following instances :
First, WonderBlah may share personal information with our contractors and service providers in order to maintain, enhance, or add to the functionality of the Services, to organize and run a campaign or partnership you signed up to participate, to evaluate your application and / or participation in a campaign run by WonderBlah, or to otherwise run any WonderBlah program or activity in which you have chosen to participate.
Second, we may disclose your personal information to third parties in a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) take action regarding suspected illegal activities; (b) enforce or apply our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy; (c) comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order; or (d) address legitimate interests pursued by WonderBlah or by a third party (except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child) and ensure our compliance with applicable laws.
When personal information is directly transferred to partner or a third party provider located in a country that may not provide a level of protection equivalent to the laws in your jurisdiction, WonderBlah will exercise appropriate due diligence in the selection of such recipients, and require that these recipients maintain adequate technical and organizational security measures to safeguard the personal information and process the personal information only as instructed by WonderBlah and for no other purposes.
5. Security of Personal Information collected via the Services
WonderBlah has implemented reasonable physical, technical, and organizational security measures for personal information that WonderBlah processes, transfers, stores and controls against accidental or unlawful destruction, or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, in compliance with applicable law. However, no website can fully eliminate security risks.
Third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. If any data breach occurs, we will post a reasonably prominent notice to the users and comply with all other applicable data privacy requirements including, when required, personal notice to you if you have provided and we have maintained an email address for you.
6. Information from cookies and similar technologies
We and our service providers (for example, Google Analytics) may collect information using cookies or similar technologies for the purposes described above and below. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored by your browser on the hard drive or memory of your computer or other Internet access device. Cookies may enable us to personalize your experience on the Services, maintain a persistent session, passively collect demographic information about your computer, and monitor advertisements and other activities. The Websites may use different kinds of cookies and other types of local storage (such as browser-based or plugin-based local storage).
7. Non Personal Browsing and Site Usage Information we process and collect
When you use the Services, our servers (which may be hosted by a third party service provider) may process and collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of your “IP address”) about your activities while visiting the Websites and using our Services, and information about the country you are located in and the browser you are using. In addition, we use website and application analytics services provided by third parties that use cookies and other similar technologies to collect information about the use of the Websites and Services, and to report trends, without identifying individual visitors (this is all “non personal browsing and site usage information” for purposes of this Privacy Policy and as described in Preamble, above).
The third parties that provide us with these services may also collect information about your use of third-party websites.
8. No selling or sharing
Except in the unique situations identified in this Privacy Policy, WonderBlah does not sell or otherwise voluntarily provide the non personal browsing information we collect and process about you or your website usage to third parties.
9. Notice
Any other non-personal information that we collect which is not described specifically in this Privacy Policy will only be collected, processed, transferred and used in accordance with the Principles.
10. Reorganization or spin-offs
WonderBlah may transfer some or all of your personal and / or non personal browsing information to a third party as a result of a reorganization, spin-off, or similar transaction. Upon such transfer, the acquirer’s privacy policy will apply. In such event, WonderBlah will use reasonable efforts to notify you and to ensure that at the time of the transaction the acquirer’s privacy policy complies with the Principles and with all applicable laws.
11. Children
The Services are not directed at children under the age of 13. Consistent with the U.S. federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without requiring parental consent. Any person who provides their personal information to WonderBlah through the Services represents that they are 13 years of age or older.
12. Third-party sites
The Services may include links to other websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party sites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other websites.
13. Accuracy of Personal Information collected
WonderBlah intends to keep personal information accurate and up-to-date. We also retain personal information no longer than is necessary to carry out the purposes described in section 3 above, or as required by law. If changes need to be made to your personal information, please notify us through the “Contact” section of the website right away. If you inform us of changes or we otherwise become aware of any factual inaccuracies in personal information, we will promptly make changes as appropriate. You also have the option to update some of your personal information yourself via your WonderBlah profile settings.
14. Changes and updates to this Privacy Policy
We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will provide you with notice of such update through (at a minimum) a reasonably prominent notice on the Websites and Services, and will revise the Effective Date below. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are protecting, using, processing and transferring the personal information we collect.
