"Aggregate information" is information that describes the habits, usage patterns, and demographics of users as a group but does not describe or reveal the identity of any particular user.

"Individual information" is information about a user that is presented in a form distinguishable from information relating to other users but not in a form that personally identifies any user or enables the recipient to communicate directly with any user unless agreed to by the user in advance of such communication. This information may be used to improve OM Studios' products and online sites, for internal marketing studies, or simply to collect demographic information about OM Studios' users.

OM Studios may use customer contact information provided by users to send information about OM Studios, including news about product updates, contests, events, and other promotional materials, but only if the users agree to receive such communications. Except in the cases described below, OM Studios will not share personally identifiable information with any third party unless the user agrees to such disclosure in advance. "Personally identifiable information" consists of a user's name, email address, physical address, or other data about the user that enables the recipient to personally identify the user. While OM Studios collects personally identifiable information on a voluntary basis, for certain products and online sites, OM Studios' collection of personally identifiable information may be a requirement for access to the product or site. Personally identifiable information will be processed and stored by OM Studios in databases situated in the England. OM Studios may allow third parties performing services under contract with OM Studios to access stored information but such access shall only be to the extent necessary to provide those services.

For example OM Studios collects user's email address and nickname, and at the user's option, first and last name. Some of this information is searchable and available to other users within the sites or the products. OM Studios has no obligation to keep the privacy of personally identifiable information that a user makes available to other users via OM Studios products, such as in multiplayer or other public functions.

Personally identifiable information protected under this privacy policy and collected from users may be done in conjunction with associates under agreement with OM Studios. If an associate of OM Studios is collecting such personally identifiable information within one of our products or online sites, OM Studios will make users aware of this at the time the information is gathered. If a user does not want to provide this information, the user may choose to opt out of providing this information. Additionally, if providing the information is a requirement of usage, the user may decline to use that particular service or product. When possible, OM Studios will make a reasonable effort to direct users to the privacy polices of these associates. OM Studios' privacy policy does not extend to associates of OM Studios.

Furthermore, external websites and companies with links to and from OM Studios' online sites and products may collect personal information about users. OM Studios' privacy policy does not extend to these external websites and companies. Please refer directly to these companies and websites regarding their privacy policies.
