At HawaiiPokerChampionship.com (Site), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, maintain, use, and protect your personal information and what your rights are with regard to this information. We work with partner companies to provide the highest quality services possible, and are committed to ensuring that your personal information is processed fairly and lawfully between our partners. Our partners may have their own Privacy Policies which govern their own unique services. We may also provide links on our site to third parties, and we are not responsible for the privacy policies and practices on those sites. This Privacy Policy is part of the general Terms and Conditions for using our services, and your registration on and use of our site indicates that you acknowledge and accept these Agreements. This Privacy Policy is subject to change, so we encourage you to review it regularly

1. Information Collected
As part of the Site’s registration process, we require personal information such as name, gender, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, and password, as well as birthdate in order to verify that you meet the minimum age requirement for using the services. This information will be used to notify you of contest results, confirm various transactions, send you information about news and events, and provide you with customer support services. You will be provided with the option of opting out of receiving any newsletters, marketing, or other information. The site also automatically records browser activity such as webpages visited, and we may have access to your IP number. This information may be used to ensure proper use of the services, detect fraud, customize the advertisements and content you see, or modify other website functions in order to enhance the user experience.

The name you provide to us on your account must match your true and legal name and identity. At any time, we reserve the right to request satisfactory proof of identity (including but not limited to copies of a valid passport, identity card, and/or any payment cards used) and proof of address (including but not limited to a recent utility bill or bank statement) in order to verify your identity. Failure to provide such documentation may result in suspension of the account. You are required to ensure that the information provided at registration is accurate and up-to-date. You can change the information you provide at registration at any time by editing your account preferences.

2. Confidentiality
With the exception of our partners in providing services that you request, and as limited in paragraph 3, below, we will not allow anyone access to your personal information unless requested. If you choose, you can allow us to provide basic personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

All our employees are required to agree to confidentiality covenants requiring them to keep your personal information strictly confidential, even when no longer involved with the Site or employed with our company.

You are fully responsible for any unauthorized use of your registered email address that may result in another person gaining access to your account name and/or password. You are responsible for keeping your anti-virus, firewall, and/or other identity protection software updated and for taking other necessary steps in order to maintain the confidentiality of your information. Your account name and password should be kept secret and confidential at all times and should not be disclosed or sold to a third party.

3. Limits of Confidentiality
In certain circumstances, including those where you are found to have cheated, engaged in intellectual property infringement, attempted to defraud us or any other user of any of the services in any way, or engaged in a prohibited or unlawful activity, or where we must respond to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes requested by authorities, we may share your information with those so entitled to receive and review that information.

We may also share your information with a third party in the event that the site is acquired or merged with a third party. In this case, sharing your information is required to ensure a seamless provision of services and will fully comply with all legal requirements and the third party’s own Privacy Policy in a way that is no less advantageous to you.

4. Your Rights
You can make a request at any time to review or obtain a copy of your information or have your details changed in accordance with your rights under the Data Protection Act 2002.
