Deck Collector Website Privacy Policy


MassMedia is very respectful about the privacy concerns of the visitors to the web site. As a general policy, no personal information is automatically collected from visitors to the web site, other than when voluntarily submitted in connection with registering to play or perhaps competition entry forms, etc. However, certain non-personal information of visitors, such as the web browser (e.g. Netscape, Internet Explorer) and the type of operating system (e.g. Macintosh, Windows) in use by the visitor and the domain name of the visitor's Internet service provider is recorded by the standard operation of MassMedia Internet servers. This information is primarily used to provide an enhanced online experience for the visitor. By having this information, web pages optimised for a particular visitor's computer are automatically available to that visitor. Other uses of this information may include an internal review of the number of visitors to the web site but only in an aggregate and non-personally-identifiable form

E-mail addresses and other personally identifiable data about visitors to the web site are known to MassMedia only when voluntarily submitted. For example, when you register to play we'll ask for some personally identifiable information about yourself, and from time to time we might ask for additional information for competitions and so on. Your privacy is very important to us and we will not pass on any information about you to any third party unless you have given us your express permission to do so.

We sometimes also use e-mail addresses or mobile phone numbers and other personally identifiable information to contact visitors who register to play. For example, we direct e-mail or SMS to visitors who provide us with their e-mail addresses or mobile phone numbers for specific purposes. The content of these communications entails the sending of details of card releases from the card series you are collecting, trade notifications regarding card trading in which you have interacted, notifications if you have won a competition, promotional or other information. If you would like to discontinue the receipt of such promotional or other information then you should visit the "Edit My Profile" page on the web site or click on the appropriate link contained within the actual email communication.

By using the web site, you specifically consent to the collection and use of the above personal information by MassMedia. If MassMedia should decide to change its privacy policy, those changes will be published on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we disclose it.

Where cookies fit in

Cookies are pieces of information that a web site can transfer to an individual's computer hard drive for record keeping. The use of cookies is an industry standard and many web sites use them. Cookies are useful for facilitating a user's access to and use of a site. They allow us to track usage patterns and compile data that can help us improve our services to you. Cookie information is used in aggregated form - we do not use it to identify you as an individual. However, if you do not wish any information to be collected through the use of cookies you can change the functions in most web browsers to deny the cookie feature. You can also delete cookies from your hard drive at any time.

A Special Note for Parents Concerning Privacy

MassMedia requires and makes a special effort to encourage children to consult with their parents before furnishing data. However, MassMedia believes that parents should supervise their children's online activities and consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a child-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other personal information online without parental permission. MassMedia shall use its reasonable endeavours, whenever possible, to ensure that personal information about or obtained from a child will not be used for commercial or trade purposes without the prior written consent of a parent or legal guardian of the child.
