If you are a registered Member and if your web browser is configured to allow cookies to be used, cookies may be used to save your password and to save other personal information so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site. Third party advertisers on the Site may also place cookies on your browser. We have no control nor access to the cookies of third-party advertisers. If you wish to disable these cookies, the "Help" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas on the Site.
We will collect information that you submit. As part of the job posting process, you will be required to submit your email address, first name, last name and credit card information for fulfillment.

After posting your job, and upon your use of the Site, we will also have information on your browsing history, search history information, and the content of correspondence between members who use the website. We will not make this information public. However, we may use this information to tailor the Site and communications to your interests. We may also share this information with advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated basis. One of the reasons we may do this is to increase the likelihood that our advertisers' goods and services will appeal to our users, so that we may target specific ads at specific demographic groups. Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is anonymous (i.e., we do not tell advertisers which particular Eight Bit Studios's users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of this Privacy Policy. When you respond to an advertisement, however, we ask you to remember that if that ad that is targeted to a demographic group and you decide to give the advertiser your personal information, then the advertiser may be able to identify you as being a member of that demographic group. By using this website, you may enter information about your children that will be viewable only from members whom you invite as part of your friends and family.

You may opt out from receiving such promotional emails by logging in to the Site and setting this preference in your Eight Bit Studios account.
