everMany, LLC – Privacy Policy

Created October 20, 2010.

We do collect information about visitors to our site, and about users who create everMany accounts. This policy describes what that information is, and how we use that information. everMany, LLC is the sole owner of the information collected on everMany.com.

Please Note: If you are under the age of 13 we cannot collect any personal information from you, and you should not create an account. If you are under the age of 18, please talk with your parent or guardian before creating an account and releasing any personally identifying to us.

Also Note: We will never ever prompt you for your everMany username, password, or credit card information from within a Flash game. We will only ask you for information about you and your account when you are at everMany.com itself. Never enter input your everMany password into any Flash game — regardless of what the game may ask.

There’s two basic aspects to our policy: The things we send to you, and the things we get from you. In addition, this policy covers how we handle user information with respect to third-parties.

What we send to you:

When you create an account we will ask you for your email address. We ask so that we can provide you with support regarding the software and services that everMany provides. Unless you have some other business relation with everMany, we will only initiate communication with you via email as specifically spelled out here in this policy. ( We are, of course, always happy to reply to any email that you may choose to send us. )

There are a few types of email you can expect from us:

Account activation

Using the email address you provide us, we will send you a welcoming email that contains instructions on how to complete the activation of your account. When you activate your account you will be asked to enter a password. Your username and password will then provide you access to your everMany account upon subsequent visits to the site. We will store your username, email, and a way to validate your password in our database. Please see “The things we get from you” for more information on what we store.

Password Resets

If you forget your password, you can request a password reset email via the everMany sign in page. It is important to keep the email address associated with your account up-to-date. In the event that you forget your password, your email is the only means we have of contacting you. We will not reset or unlock any account except via our password reset mechanism.

The everMany Newsletter

We may occasionally send an electronic newsletter with information about the latest goings-on at everMany central. We will not typically send more than one newsletter a month. Within each newsletter we will provide a way to opt out of all future newsletters.

Service Related Announcements

We may send you strictly service related announcements on rare occasions when we feel it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance: we might send you an email. We will provide you with a way to opt out of all service announcement emails from within each such email.

Special Offers

We may very rarely send you information on new products, services, special deals, and promotions separate from our newsletters. We will not send such an email unless we believe there to be something of significant material value to all of our users. Within each special offer email we will provide a way to opt out of all future special offer emails.

What we get from you:

All of the data that we collect is used to understand how you (and other users) access our site so that we can better administrate the site and provide appropriate support and expansion for our site.

It is important that you understand: we do tie information about you and your usage history to your user account.

We collect three basic kinds of information:

everMany, LLC. at this time does not ask for – nor do we in anyway record – your credit card information.

Visitation Information

As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store that information in log and database files. This information may include: internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to better understand who is visiting our site, and how we can better serve our visitors.

From this automatically collected information it is not typically possible to identify the human being actually sitting at a computer and, in fact, we do not attempt to do so. We do, however, employ “cookies” to identify activity performed by a user on a particular web browser running on a particular machine.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. There are two styles of cookies that we use on the everMany websites: session based cookies and long term data storage cookies.

Long term data storage cookies
These exist across the span of several different visits. We use these cookies primarily so that you don’t have to enter your username and password on your next visit.
