1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

We may collect, transmit, and store information about you in connection with your use of the Service, including any information you send to or through the Service. We use that information to provide the Service’s functionality, fulfill your requests, improve the Service’s quality, engage in research and analysis relating to the Service, personalize your experience, track usage of the Service, provide feedback to third party businesses that are listed on the Service, display relevant advertising, market the Service, provide customer support, message you, back up our systems, allow for disaster recovery, enhance the security of the Service, and comply with legal obligations. Even when we do not retain such information, it still must be transmitted to our servers initially and stored long enough to process.

Please also note:

1. Account Information: When you create an account, we store and use the information you provide during that process, such as the first and last name you enter, email address, zip code, phone number, and any other information you may provide during the account creation process, such as birth date. We may publicly display the first name and last initial that you provide, as well as any photo or other content you submit through the account creation process, as part of your account profile. We also store and use any preferences you provide to personalize your user experience, including dining and activity preferences. You can later modify some of the account information you provide through your account profile settings. If you believe that someone has created an unauthorized account using your personal information, you can request its removal by contacting us.
2. Public Content: Your contributions to the Service are not intended for public consumption and are therefore not available to the public, but only to other users of the Service, and to Hijack.
3. Communications: When you sign up for an account or use certain features, you are opting to receive messages from other users, businesses, and Hijack. You can manage some of your messaging preferences through your account settings but note that you cannot opt out of receiving certain administrative, transactional, or legal messages from Hijack. If you exchange messages with others through the Service, we may store them to process and deliver them, allow you to manage them, and we may review and disclose them in connection with investigations related to use of the Service, as well as our efforts to improve the Service. We may not deliver messages that we believe are objectionable, such as spam messages, fraudulent solicitations. If you send or receive messages through the Service via SMS text message, we may log phone numbers, phone carriers, and the date and time that the messages were processed. Carriers may charge recipients for texts that they receive. We may also store information that you provide through communications to us, including from phone calls, letters, emails and other electronic messages, or in person. Our communications with you, including phone calls, may be monitored and recorded for quality purposes.
4. Transactions: When you initiate a transaction through the Service, we will collect and store information you provide associated with your transaction, such as your name, phone number, address, email, and payment information, as well as any other information you provide, to process your transaction, send communications about the transaction to you, and facilitate future transactions. This information may be shared with third parties, and third parties may share such information with us, for the same purposes. When you submit credit card numbers and other sensitive payment information, that information is encrypted using industry standard technology.
5. Activity: We store information about your use of the Service. We also store information that your computer or mobile device may provide to us in connection with your use of the Service, such as your browser type, type of computer or mobile device, browser language, IP address, WiFi information such as SSID, mobile carrier, phone number, unique device identifier, advertising identifier, location (including geolocation, beacon based location, and GPS location), and requested and referring URLs and mobile applications. We will also receive and store your location whenever our mobile applications are running, including when running in the background, if you enable our mobile apps to access such information while using the Service.
6. Legal Basis for Processing: All information collected will comply with applicable federal laws as well as the Texas Data Privacy & Security Act, in effect at the time of the information is collected. 

2. COOKIES

We, and third parties with whom we partner, may use cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, local shared objects such as HTML5 and Flash (sometimes called “flash cookies”), advertising identifiers (including mobile identifiers such as Apple’s Identifier for Advertisers (“IDFA”) or Google’s Advertising ID (“GAID”)) and similar technology (“Cookies”) in connection with your use of the Service, third party websites, and mobile applications. Cookies may contain unique identifiers, and reside, among other places, on your computer or mobile device, in emails we send to you, and on our web pages. Cookies may transmit information about you and your use of the Service, such as your browser type, search preferences, IP address, data relating to advertisements that have been displayed to you or that you have interacted with, and the date and time of your use. Cookies may be persistent or stored only during an individual session.

The purposes for which we use Cookies in the Service include:

You can set some Cookie preferences through your device or browser settings, but doing so may affect the functionality of the Service. The method for disabling Cookies may vary by device and browser but can usually be found in your device or browser preferences or security settings. Please note that changing any of these settings does not prevent the display of certain advertisements to you.

3. THIRD PARTIES

Third parties may receive information about you as follows:

1. Advertisers: We allow third parties to use Cookies through the Service to collect the same type of information for the same purposes as we do. In doing so, we adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. Third parties may be able to associate the information they collect with other information they have about you from other sources. We do not necessarily have access to or control over the Cookies they use, but you may be able to opt out of some of their practices by visiting the following links: Network Advertising Initiative, Omniture and Digital Advertising Alliance. Please note that opting out does not prevent the display of all advertisements to you. We may also share some non-identifiable, de-identified or aggregated information from or about you, such as location information, with third parties in connection with advertising programs and data analytics. You may be able to limit our sharing of some of this information through your mobile device settings, as described in Section 2 above, or through the Service’s settings.
2. Service Providers: We rely on third party service providers to support or provide services for us in connection with your use of the Service, such as SMS and push notifications communications, security and fraud prevention, technical and customer support, tracking and reporting usage of the Service, quality assurance testing, payment processing, marketing, and other functions. We share information from or about you with these third-party providers so that they can perform their services or complete your requests. For example, we may share your advertising identifiers (e.g., your IDFA, GAID, or a cryptographic hash of your email address) with third party service providers that help us facilitate our advertising programs and measure and report their effectiveness, including with third parties that help determine the efficacy of our advertising programs by combining information they receive about you from other sources than the Service. You may be able to limit our access to some of this information through your mobile device settings, or through the Service’s settings. Hijack’s third-party service providers may likewise share information with us that they obtain from or about you in connection with providing their services or completing your requests.
3. Aggregate or Anonymous Information: We share user information in the aggregate with third parties, for example, we disclose the number of users that have been exposed to or interacted with advertisements, or that we believe visited the physical location of a particular business.
4. Business Transfers: We share information from or about you with our parent companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control, and require them to also honor this Privacy Policy. If another company acquires Hijack, or all or substantially all our assets, that company will possess the same information, and will collect, use, and disclose the information only as described in this Privacy Policy.
5. Investigations and Legal Disclosures: We may investigate and disclose information from or about you if we have a good faith belief that such investigation or disclosure: (a) is reasonably necessary to comply with legal or law enforcement processes, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, judicial proceeding, or other legal process or law enforcement request; (b) is helpful to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service; or (c) protects our rights, reputation, property, or that of our users, affiliates,
6. Links: The Service may link to third party-controlled websites, like a business’s URL. Except as set forth herein, we do not share your personal information with them, and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
7. Third Party Integrations: If you sign up for, or log into, Hijack using a third-party service like Facebook or Google, or link your Hijack account to your account with a third-party service like Facebook, Instagram or X, formerly Twitter, we may receive information about you from such third-party service. If you post content to a third-party service through the Service, that third party service will also receive that content, which will be visible to anyone that has access to it through that third party service. Some of our web pages utilize framing techniques to serve content to you from our third-party partners, while preserving the look and feel of the Service. In such cases, please note that the information you provide may be transmitted directly to the identified third-party partner. If you interact with businesses through Hijack, they will receive whatever information you choose to share with them, for example contact information you share through direct messages to the business or your phone number if you call the business.

4. DATA RETENTION AND ACCOUNT TERMINATION

You can close your account by contacting us at support@hijackpoker.com. We may retain information about you for the purposes authorized under this Privacy Policy unless prohibited by law. For example, we may retain information to prevent, investigate, or identify possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service or to comply with legal obligations. We may also maintain residual copies of your personal information in our backup systems. 

6. CHILDREN

The Service is intended for adult audiences and is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us at support@hijackpoker.com. If we become aware that a person under 18 has provided us with personal information without parental consent, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the person’s account.

7. SECURITY

We use various safeguards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and after we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or via mobile device, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
