This Privacy Policy describes what information the Firebolt Studio Sites and games collect from users, including children, when they visit the Firebolt Studio Sites and games; how such information is used and stored; when such information may be disclosed to third parties; how users, parents, and guardians can control the use and disclosure of collected information; and how information is protected.

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
We may collect and process “personal information” (i.e. information that could be used to contact you, such as full name, postal address, user name and password, phone number, or e-mail address), “demographic and usage information” (i.e. information that you submit, or that we collect, that is not personal information but necessary for the proper functioning of the Firebolt studios Sites and games and games, such as the date regarding the start and end and the extent of your usage of the Firebolt studios Sites and games, browser information and your site preferences), or “payment information” (i.e. information that you submit, including but not limited to personal information, that is needed to facilitate compensation for your enjoyment of certain aspects of the Firebolt studios Sites and games, such as payment card information), in connection with the Firebolt studios Sites and games.
Personal information is used to enable visitors to take advantage of site offerings, respond to visitors’ requests for products, services, and information, manage games and site functionality, serve appropriate material to visitors, and customize content.
Demographic and usage information is used to track the effectiveness of our website and individual sections and pages within it. Some demographic and usage information, such as your IP address, is collected automatically.
Payment information is used to process transactions and donations.
Firebolt Studios does not collect personal information from you unless you provide it to us. If you choose not to provide any personal information, we may not be able to provide access to certain sections of the Firebolt Studio's sites and games, fulfill certain requests, or complete your order, but you will still be free to browse the other sections, which do not require registration. This means that you can visit our site without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself. We do not make any association between demographic and usage information and personal information.
IP addresses are not stored but are temporarily used to determine domain type and, in some cases, geographic region.
For a better experience while using our service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. The information we request will be retained and used as described in this privacy policy.

Except as expressly provided herein, without your prior consent, Firebolt Studios does not sell, rent, give away, or share your personal information with any unrelated third parties.
The following describes some of the ways that your personal information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business:
We may access, preserve, and/or disclose the information we collect and/or content you provide to us (including information you may have posted on bulletin boards or internal site communication systems) to a law enforcement institution or other third parties if required to do so by law or with a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with legal process and/or requests from governmental authorities; (b) enforce the terms of use of the respective Firebolt studios Sites and games; (c) respond to claims that the content violates any applicable law, rule, regulation or rights of a third party; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of the owners of the Firebolt studios Sites and games, any user of the Firebolt studios Sites and games, a third party or the general public.
We may also disclose user information whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability, protect or defend our rights or property, or protect the safety, rights, or property of others. If you have concerns about the conduct of a particular user, please send an email to feedback.fireboltstudios@gmail.com with the subject “User Conduct.”.
We may use third-party internal service providers to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of our business, products, and/or services that we provide to you. Accordingly, we may provide some of your personal information directly to these internal service providers (for example, customer care).
In some instances, the internal service provider may collect information directly from you. In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the internal service provider.
If you provide additional information to an internal service provider directly, then their use of your personally identifiable information is governed by their applicable privacy policy.
There are several separate services offered by third-party external service providers that may be complementary to your use of Firebolt Studio's sites and games. If you choose to use these separate services, disclose information to the external service providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. With your consent and for your convenience, we may provide some of your personal information to an external service provider offering such services.
To prevent disclosure of your personally identifiable information to an external service provider, you can decline such consent or simply not use their services. As we do not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding to use their services.
Some Firebolt Studios's sites and games offer co-branded services and features, such as services, games, and promotions that we put together with another company (“Co-Branded Partner”).
Such services may be hosted on a site and/or our co-branded partner’s website. We may share your information with our co-branded partner, and your voluntary use of or participation in a co-branded service or feature means that you opt-in and affirmatively consent to both the Firebolt Studios Sites and games and our co-branded partner collecting and using the information you provided during registration and/or in connection with the specific co-branded feature for fulfillment, marketing, or administrative purposes. If you wish to opt out of a Co-Branded Partner’s future use of your information for marketing purposes, you will need to contact the Co-Branded Partner directly. The co-branded partner will be identified by the co-branded feature or service.
We may disclose demographic and usage information to those entities that provide us with grants, donations, loans, or other types of funding.
If assets relating to one or more of the Firebolt studios sites and games are transferred or sold to another entity as a result of, for example, a corporate sale, merger, consolidation, asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, you acknowledge, consent, and agree that information collected at the Firebolt studios sites and games may be transferred to the acquiring company.
