The Basics 

About this Privacy Policy

Gamizign provides services that enable users to create, upload, and share content, including hosting and participating in games. Where Gamizign processes personal information contained within user-generated content or processes personal information on behalf of our users as a data processor, such processing is governed by separate agreements and is not covered by this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.gamizign.com. We care about your privacy, and strive to comply with applicable laws where we operate

 

Who We Are

Gamizign is a global educational technology and software-as-a-service (SaaS) company dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations through learning. We provide a comprehensive learning platform and a suite of engaging learning tools designed for enterprises, educational institutions, and personal use, enabling users to maximize their learning potential. For more information about our services and their use, please refer to our Terms and Conditions and our website.

 

Personal Information We Collect

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or services that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

 

Automatically Collected Information

When you interact with our services, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage. This information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws, including in the European Economic Area (EEA). This automatically collected data includes:

• Device Information: This encompasses technical specifications of your device, such as Media Access Control (MAC) address, device type (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language settings, internet browser type and version, and the specific version of the services (e.g., app version) you are accessing.
• Usage Data: We collect data regarding your interactions with our services, including the dates and times of access, your browsing activities (e.g., the specific features and sections of the service you utilize), metrics related to service performance (such as email deliverability), and, if you use our app, information about usage frequency and other performance indicators. This data helps us improve the content and functionality of our services and facilitates research and analysis.
• Log Data: Our web servers maintain log files that record data each time a device accesses them. These logs include the originating IP address and details of your activity within the services, such as timestamps associated with your usage, participation in Gamizign games, results, pages and files viewed, searches, and other actions taken (e.g., features used). We may also access metadata and other information associated with files you upload.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: We utilize cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as browser type and anonymous traffic data. Please consult our Cookie Notice for a comprehensive explanation of our use of these technologies.

 

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

• “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
• “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
• “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Site, we collect certain personal data about you, which includes (a) identity data (first name, last name, maiden name, and could include title, date of birth, gender), (b) contact data (your physical address, billing address, delivery address, email address and telephone numbers). When you make purchases from ELB Learning or the Site, you also are asked to fill in some (c) financial data, such as credit card information, but that is not available to ELB Learning, and actually is collected on a third-party payment website that is compliant with credit card security standards (PCI-DSS). When you make a purchase on the Site, we also maintain (d) transaction data about products purchased from us and payments made. We may collect (e) technical data when you make use of the Site, such as your internet protocol (IP) address and browser, often using cookies, as well as (f) profile data (login information: user name and password) which you may enter for such purposes as when you create a Community account. We collect (g) usage data, retained in the aggregate and anonymized, about website usage, and certain (h) marketing and communications data, such as whether or not you want to join a User Group (requiring an opt-in to receive notices and announcements regarding meetings and other Group information), or to subscribe to the Blog or receive offers and discounts by email. Much of this, but especially information that identifies you personally, and financial information about you, is called “personal data” in this Policy.

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Personal Data. We collect only personal data that we believe to be strictly necessary in order to provide you with the Site services to which you indicate a desire to subscribe, or the Products which you desire to purchase/license.

 

How Do We Use Your Personal Information

Much of the data we collect from you is collected on the Site. For example:

• If you click the “Get in Touch”, “Free Trial”, “Request a Demo”, “Buy Now”, “Upgrade”, we use the Personal Data that we collect generally to fulfill any action placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, and also the requested billing information, including Credit Card information)
• If you already have an Gamizign account, or a Product account, you will be asked to input your User ID and Password.
• If you wish to subscribe to the Gamizign Blog or to get offers and discounts by email, you will be asked to provide your Email Address.

To maintain the integrity of our services and protect the rights of our users, we may process personal information as reasonably necessary to prevent abuse and misuse of the services, ensure compliance with our Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) and applicable law, and pursue available remedies. This may include reviewing user-submitted content for compliance with our T&Cs, potentially through automated filtering mechanisms. Such processing is based on our legitimate interest in safeguarding our services and maintaining a reliable platform for all users.

 

What Is the Basis for Our Personal Data Collection

We have explained what personal data we collect, how and why.  Under certain laws applicable to European residents who may use our Site services and Products, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we need to clarify the basis for the collection of your personal data.  In many cases of data collection described above, we collect the personal data we need to perform the contract we are about to enter with you, or which we have entered with you.

1. Contractual Basis: If you indicate that you want to purchase a Product from us, we need you to provide the identity, contact, financial and possibly transaction data described above, so that you can pay for the Product purchased and we can deliver it, although as mentioned, we do not retain any credit card data, which is provided and maintained on a third-party [payment processing] site with commercially appropriate security and data protection for such financial data. Therefore, this has a contractual basis: we need this information to be able to perform a contract with you.
2. Legitimate Interests: If you indicate that you want to receive special offers from Gamizign, then you understand that it is reasonable for us to collect the personal data necessary to be able to provide you with the offer or item or participation you have requested, even if it falls short of a contractual requirement. Moreover, when we collect data analytics to improve the user experience, we believe that our users recognize that there would be legitimate interests in our doing so.
3. Consent: When we obtain your data so that we can make further contact with you, so that you might choose to buy/subscribe to a Product, but there is no requirement that we collect your data to achieve this result, such as when we ask for your Email address before you can open a Demo, we will seek your consent, and you will have the rights to revoke that consent as indicated below.  Often there is a marketing objective when we ask for your consent.  And we also seek your consent when persistent cookies are placed on your device to ensure a better user experience.

 

How We Use Your Personal Data

We primarily use personal data that you provide to us market, sell, license and deliver our Products or services to you, as described above, or to maintain, customize and add new resources and products and services that may be of interest to you, to enable you to participate in Site services to allow communication and interaction between you and Gamizign. In addition, we will share the personal data we collect from you under the following circumstances:

• Protection of Rights. We will share personal data if we have a good faith belief that (i) access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or a request by law enforcement or governmental authorities, (ii) such action is appropriate to enforce the Terms of Use for the Site, including any investigation of potential violations thereof, (iii) such action is necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues associated with the Products or Site services, or (iv) such action is appropriate to protect the rights, property or safety of Gamizign, its employees, customers, Site users, or others.
• Asset/Equity Transfers. If we become involved in a merger, acquisition or other transaction involving the sale of some or all of Gamizign assets or equity, information on customers and Site users, including personal data collected from you through your use of the Site and its services, could be included in the transferred assets, subject to applicable law. Users of the Site will be notified via a prominent notice on the Site to a change of ownership or control that would involve a transfer of your information held by us, subject to applicable law, including any statutory periods restricting disclosure.
• Service Providers. In the event that we engage service providers as data processors on our behalf, then subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures, including compliance with this Privacy Policy, we may share your personal data with them.  Any such third-party data processors are and/or will be subject to contractual agreements to ensure that they only process personal data provided by Gamizign in a manner consistent with our obligations under GDPR requirements.
• Marketing Purposes. We will occasionally use your personal data for our own marketing purposes, subject to applicable law, and subject to your clearly indicated right to opt-out of receiving any such communications from us. If you are a resident of the European Union, we will require your express consent in order to be able to send your marketing-related communications.
• Usage Data. We may share Usage Data and other aggregated, anonymized information that shows patterns, trends, preferences, and other collective characteristics of our customers and Site users, with third parties. Disclosure of this information helps us and our marketing partners evaluate and tailor our communications, advertisements, services and general business practices to the needs of our Users. For example, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site — you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
• Public Authorities. We may disclose your personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or enforcement requirements.
