Privacy Policy
Evil Genius Designs, Inc. (“Evil Genius Designs”) takes the private nature of your personal information very seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we treat the information we collect when you visit and use the website available at getinlinegames.com (the “Website”) and is made available under the Creative Commons Sharealike license. These policies and terms are subject to change at any time. Please read this notice very carefully.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Evil Genius Designs collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Evil Genius Designs’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Evil Genius Designs’s visitors use its Website. From time to time, Evil Genius Designs may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its Website.
Evil Genius Designs also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Evil Genius Designs does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Evil Genius Designs also provides services that are not bound to the Website, but the policies listed here still apply. As an example, some people play games created by Evil Genius Designs while they wait in line at an amusement park. In order to play these games, they need to call into a public line. In order to identify who they are, we will have partial disclosure of obfuscated personal information (such as the last 4 digits of their phone number) in a public setting.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to the Website choose to interact with Evil Genius Designs in ways that require Evil Genius Designs to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Evil Genius Designs gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at getinlinegames.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Evil Genius Designs are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Evil Genius Designs collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Evil Genius Designs. Evil Genius Designs does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities as well as physical install or live activities.
Visitors can request at any time to have their information removed. Deleting their account may not delete all data about you in the system (scores, records). In the registration process, we will display information about the visitor that can be obfuscated pending the visitors' privacy settings. We will also share information we have about visitors with our clients who make user of our service, but only to those clients whose physical location the visitor has visited.
Children's Guidelines
Evil Genius Designs cares about the safety of children online. This site is a general audience web site that complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We only collect personal information from members. Users under the age of 13 are not allowed to become members of Evil Genius Designs, but are permitted to use the site with the same level of access to services as any other non-member visitor.
Under COPPA, no web site operator is permitted to require a child under the age of 13 to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary for participation in a web site's activity. Evil Genius Designs abides by this requirement. If you believe that a child has provided Evil Genius Designs with personally identifiable information without the consent of his or her parent or guardian, please contact us at support@getinlinegames.com. If Evil Genius Designs becomes aware that a child under age 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete such information.
To have and pay for phone service, you must be over 18. If you are a minor with access to a cell phone, etc, we are assuming that your access to this device and service indicates consent by your parent or guardian to use this service, and therefore the GiL service. If you believe your child who is under the age of 13 has used the GiL service, and you wish to remove their data, please contact support@evilgeniusdesigns.com.
Aggregated Statistics
Evil Genius Designs may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to the Website. Demographic and profile data is also collected by World Wide Federation of Gaming. This data is used to tailor your Evil Genius Designs experience, including showing content we think you may be interested in viewing, displaying content according to your preferences, and for other purposes. Evil Genius Designs may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Evil Genius Designs does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Evil Genius Designs discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Evil Genius Designs’s behalf or to provide services available at the Website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using the Website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. In addition, in some cases we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Evil Genius Designs or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Evil Genius Designs goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquiror of Evil Genius Designs may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as set forth in this policy. Otherwise, Evil Genius Designs will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations or as described above, Evil Genius Designs discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Evil Genius Designs believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Evil Genius Designs, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Evil Genius Designs Website and have supplied your email address, Evil Genius Designs may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Evil Genius Designs and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Evil Genius Designs takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
You should also be aware that if you submit information to “chat rooms,” “forums” or “message boards” such information becomes public information, meaning that you lose any privacy rights you might have with regards to that information. Such disclosures may also increase your chances of receiving unwanted communications.
For users outside the United States, please note that any personally-identifiable information you enter into the Website will be transferred out of your country and into the United States. You consent to such transfer through your use of the Website. You also warrant that you have the right to transfer such information outside your country and into the United States.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Evil Genius Designs does not own or control, or employees that Evil Genius Designs does not manage. The Website contains links to third party websites. Any information you provide to, or that is collected by, third-party sites may be subject to the privacy policies of those sites, if any. We encourage you to read such privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
