We collect the following types of information from our customers.

Personal Information You Provide to Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Service or provide to us in any other way. The types of Personal Information collected may include your name, user name, address, email address, phone number, IP address, use information and browser information. Some of this information, for example, your name and username, is listed publicly on our Services, including on your profile page and in search results. The Personal Information you provide is used for such purposes as allowing you to interact with other users, improving the content of the Service, customizing the advertising and content you see, and communicating with you about announcements and new features. We may also draw upon this Personal Information in order to adapt the services of our community to your needs, to research the effectiveness of our network, and to develop new tools for the community.

HOW DOES WORDZOKU USE COLLECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Our primary goal in collecting your customer information is to provide you with a personalized, relevant, user-friendly experience. Here are the ways we use Customer Information to enhance this experience:

Personal Information Collected Automatically:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our Service or services. Wordzoku automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested.
We use data about the use of our systems to monitor their proper operation, and to help us maintain and refine our products and services.
Generally, our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and its components. Wordzoku uses this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often customers use parts of the Service or services so that we can make the Service appealing to as many customers as possible, and improve those services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our customers, collectively, use our site. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services and our Service, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience.

Email Communications:
We use your information to communicate with you. We use your email address to inform you of product and service improvements, feature announcements, newsletters, Wordzoku promotional offers, and occasional third-party promotional offers that may be of interest to you. We may receive a confirmation when you open an email from Wordzoku if your computer supports this type of program. Wordzoku uses this confirmation to help us make emails more interesting and helpful and improve our service.

If you do not wish to receive these communications, you may always "opt out" by using the subscription preferences link that appears at the bottom of each of our mailings. (If you opt out of promotional communications, we will still contact you in response to specific requests or transactions that you initiate. For example, you will still receive emailed receipts for your online purchases and responses to your technical support requests. You will also continue to receive notifications of content shared with you as requested by your friends, family, and colleagues.)

WHAT ABOUT COOKIES?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our site are visited and by how many people. Wordzoku cookies do not collect Personal Information, and we do not combine the general information collected through cookies with other Personal Information to tell us who you are or what your screen name or email address is.
Most browsers have an option for turning off the cookie feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, as well as (depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allowing you to decide on acceptance of each new cookie in a variety of ways. We strongly recommend that you leave the cookies activated, however, because cookies enable you to take advantage of some of our Service's most attractive features.
Ads appearing on the Service may be delivered to users by our advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Wordzoku and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
