We may use or allow a third party advertising company or network to display ads on the XOGAMES Products or in XOGAMES Products. We may also use or allow a third party payment provider to collect information needed to facilitate payments and purchases on our site. Any information gathered by third parties is collected by such third parties, not XOGAMES. Such collection is handled by the third parties and therefore their privacy policies apply. For example, if you purchase goods or services from XOGAMES using the third party wallet provided by our payment processor or another vendor, including without limitation the Facebook credits program, your information may be stored by that third party for use with other participating sites or applications and would be subject to that processor’s or vendor’s privacy policy and practices.

These companies typically use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this information.

Also, if an advertiser asks us to show an advertisement to users with certain characteristics (for example, women ages 18–24) or a segment of that group (for example, women ages 18–24 who have viewed certain categories of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the third–party advertising company may conclude that you have the characteristics of the audience they are trying to reach.
Also, note that with respect to XOGAMES Products, our system and the third–party advertising technology uses information derived from cookies on your drive and the XOGAMES Products you use to target advertising within our XOGAMES Products.
