Privacy Policy

This Website: TournamentSeeker.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”) is a website for finding and showcasing video game tournaments and video game events within the video game community. This website allows individuals who enjoy playing video games from all over the world (hereinafter referred to as “gamers”)  to search and find both online and live video game tournaments and video game events they are interested in, while also connecting event managers with valuable resources to help expand the quality and overall reach of their own gaming events.

Event Listing Disclaimer: When a User lists an event on TournamentSeeker.com, We are not responsible for the information presented by a User or the validity of an actual event.  Although the listing may be legitimate and may be approved by administrators, if an event organizer does not provide all that is promised, has outdated event information, cancels the event without removing their listing on Website, or makes any other claims that turn out to be incorrect, the Owner and all parties affiliated with the Website will in no way be held responsible.  We encourage Users to interact with event organizers to confirm event information and at all times, Users interact with listed events at their own risk.

Accessibility of Information: To fully interact, communicate, and connect with each other, Users  (members and all other visitors and Users of the Website are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Users”) connect to the website through existing social media outlets and can also post certain personal information, stories, photos, and additional resources around the website. ALL POSTED INFORMATION AND MATERIALS ARE ACCESSIBLE BY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. Though, while Users who are not logged in can view certain website information, they cannot interact with any of the Website’s event listings tools until they connect a social media account and login into the website.  Please note that all posting and sharing of personal information, photos, videos, and other information are done at your own risk.

Collection and Use of Information by TournamentSeeker.com and the Use of Cookies: Although much of the website’s content is available without formally logging in, if a user wants to post a video game event and manage those event listings, TournamentSeeker.com requires that user to login using either their Facebook.com or Twitter.com accounts.  These social media connections collects and use the information submitted by connected Users, such as email and other unique personal information, for certain purposes, including but not limited to, login purposes; sending notifications and updates; verifying and/or authenticating a user; the oversight of the Website; the improvement of the interaction and communication among Users; security purposes; and the providing of relevant services, advertisements, and products to connected Users. Second, TournamentSeeker.com may collect and use information not specifically submitted by Users, such as IP address, user data, and browser type, for certain purposes, including but not limited to, the management and oversight of the Website; the customization of newsletters, emails, Website content, and advertisements; security purposes; tracking usage; and other improvement of services of the Website. Such information may be shared with third parties to assist in providing relevant products, links, services, and advertisements. Lastly, we may choose to store information from your browser and record session information through the use of cookies for certain purposes, including but not limited to, those listed above.

Promotions and Contests: If a user submits personal information, such as name, address, and phone number, for a promotion or contest on TournamentSeeker.com, we may transfer all such information to third parties involved in such promotion or contest. This Privacy Policy does not cover personal information given to third parties under this provision.

Advertisements and the Use of Cookies by Advertisers: Advertisements that appear on this Website may, at times, be directly delivered to Users by third parties, and when this happens, such parties receive your IP address and may download cookies or other similar applications onto your computer to determine the success of their advertisements by recognizing each time that they send you advertisements. In this process, such third parties may compile information about you regarding when you link upon the advertisements. We do not have access to or control over the use of cookies placed onto computers by third party advertisers, and this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by third parties.

Links: TournamentSeeker.com contains outbound links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy of the information, actions, or privacy policy of those other websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information on TournamentSeeker.com.

Social Media Sharing: TournamentSeeker.com allows Users to share information with people who may not be Users of the website.  Although the majority of this activity happens within the social media outlets a user may choose to share information on, recipients of such invitations may contact us at contact@TournamentSeeker.com with any questions or concerns.

Modification or Account Disconnection: Users can easily access, modify, add to, or delete any of the social media profiles they may have connected with the Website, by updating information in the respective social media outlet.  Such modifications will result in immediate disconnection of that account with the Website.  Users are welcome to contact us at contact@TournamentSeeker.com with additional questions if necessary.

Children Under the Age of 13: We do not knowingly solicit or allow membership into this Website to anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13, do not attempt to register on this Website or otherwise send any information on this Website. In the event that we discover that someone under the age of 13 is a registered user on this Website, we will remove that account’s connectivity in a reasonably prompt manner and no longer allow access to that person. If you believe that a person under the age of 13 is unauthorized to interact with the Website or otherwise sending information on this Website, please contact us immediately at contact@TournamentSeeker.com.

Website Security: We take reasonable precautions to protect information submitted by Users, through protected use of the account-protecting API and existing security measures taken by Facebook.com and Twitter.com.  TournamentSeeker.com utilizes secure hosting standards, does not directly store any secure personal or account information, and only allows financial transitions to take place on third party payment solutions, such as PayPal.com. We prohibit access of certain account information to employees and technical support staff unless such access is necessary for that employee’s work on the Website. Notwithstanding, absolute security of any and all information submitted by Users cannot be guaranteed due to the possibility of unauthorized use of the Website, Website failure, and other causes, so all use, posting, and sharing of personal information, photos, resources, passwords, payment information, and other information is done at your own risk. Further, because email is not a form of fully secured communication, we recommend Users do not send private information to us or other Users via email. Lastly, we are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy setting, violation of any provision in the Privacy Policy or Terms and Conditions of Use, circumvention of the security measures contained on the Website, or any other unauthorized use of the information on the Website. If you are aware of any unauthorized use, please contact us at contact@TournamentSeeker.com.

Disclosure of Information as Required by Law Or When Otherwise Necessary: Notwithstanding the terms of this Privacy Policy, we reserve the right to disclose user information when we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is required by law, including pursuant to a subpoena or court order, or when otherwise necessary to comply with the law, prevent illegal activity, enforce the Privacy Policy or Terms and Conditions of Use, prevent bodily harm including when such harm is threatened, to protect our interests or property, or when otherwise necessary to protect the Website, Users, or our other interests.

If the modification is a material change in policy, the modification in policy will take effect 30 days from when it is posted on the Website. While we will strive to send you email notifications of any material modifications, we do not guarantee notification of every such modification will be received, so Users are strongly encouraged to regularly refer to this Privacy Policy to fully know of and understand its terms.

Transfer of Ownership: If the ownership of this Website changes, we reserve the right to transfer all account information to the new owner as is reasonable necessary to operate and maintain this Website. The transferred information will remain subject to this Privacy Policy, but such Privacy Policy can be modified as set forth above.
