3. How Information Is Used, Shared and Disclosed

Bros Universe does not sell, and generally does not disclose, your Personal Information to third-parties without your consent. Parents have the right to consent to collection and use of personal information from their child without also consenting to its disclosure to third-parties, as Bros Universe does not share information that may be collected from your child. Bros Universe uses Personal, Non-Personal and Financial Information, among other things, to monitor system performance, analyze internal business systems, improve the Bros Universe Services, fulfill requests for additional products and services, contact you about promotional and marketing activities, provide customer support, and conduct research. The use and protection of information is an important component of Bros Universe's business. Examples of how Bros Universe shares and discloses your information is as follows:

- Legal. Bros Universe may disclose information you provide to respond to subpoenas, court orders, requests from authorities, and other legal process, and to establish/exercise Bros Universe's legal rights. Bros Universe may also disclose your information to defend against legal claims when Bros Universe believes that disclosure is necessary to protect Bros Universe's rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request. Bros Universe may share Personal Information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, and situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Bros Universe's Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.

- Business Transfers. As Bros Universe continues to develop its business, Bros Universe may reorganize as a business entity, acquire entities, subsidiaries, or business units, or enter into joint ventures with third-parties. In any of these types of transactions, any information you provide may be one of the transferred business assets (subject to any pre-existing privacy notice unless you consent otherwise). In the event that all or substantially all of Bros Universe's assets are acquired or Bros Universe merges with a third-party, your information will likely be one of the transferred assets. You understand and agree that Bros Universe reserves the right to transfer any information collected from you in the case of any such transfer. In such event, Bros Universe will use reasonable efforts to notify you before Personal Information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

- Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control. Bros Universe may use third-party companies and individuals to perform functions on Bros Universe's behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, processing payments, hosting, data storage, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. Bros Universe will provide such entities with access to certain information needed to perform their functions, but will take measures to ensure that they may not use it for other purposes. Bros Universe shares information only as described above and with third-parties that are either subject to this Privacy Policy or to a privacy policy that is at least as protective as this Privacy Policy.

4. Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to Bros Universe. Bros Universe follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the Personal Information submitted to Bros Universe, both during transmission and once it is received. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, Bros Universe cannot guarantee its absolute security. While no security system is completely secure, Bros Universe and its third-party partners and vendors take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access or disclosure of the information collected by Bros Universe. For Bros Universe, this includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that all Personal and Financial Information is disclosed only on a "need to know" basis and ensuring that all Personal Information collected by Bros Universe is done so via secured connections and protected and encrypted (using secure socket layer technology, "SSL") by industrial grade security software to guard against unauthorized access.

5. Advertising

Bros Universe may use ads and ad-relating features in the Bros Universe Services. Such ads and ad-relating features may contain cookies that recognize your device each time you receive an online ad. This allows ad servers to compile information about your viewing and interaction with their ad and deliver targeted ads that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers, and Bros Universe encourages you to review the applicable advertiser's website for their privacy policy. If Bros Universe uses pop-up ad windows irrelevant to the function of any of its games, you will be able to close the pop-up window.
