Privacy Policy

Winr operates the website wi.nr ("wi.nr"). It is Winr's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Winr collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, the URLs shortened with wi.nr, and the date and time of each visitor request. Winr's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Winr's visitors use wi.nr. From time to time, Winr may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Winr also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Winr does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to wi.nr choose to interact with Winr in ways that require Winr to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Winr gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors for their e-mail address and Twitter handle to alert them when they win a prize. When you win a prize, we need to collect more information, such as your full name and home address, to issue you the prize. Winr does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

If you win a prize, we may display your full name or Twitter handle, and home town, in the winner's section of our web site. You acknowledge that the use of this personally identifiable information can be seen by other visitors and third parties. We may also send winner information upon written request, according to the policies outlined in our Sweepstakes Rules.

Aggregated Statistics

Winr may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to wi.nr. Winr may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Winr does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described herein.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Winr discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, investors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Winr's behalf or to provide services available at wi.nr, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using wi.nr, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Winr will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Winr discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when Winr believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Winr, third parties or the public at large. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Winr takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Winr uses cookies to help Winr identify and track visitors, their usage of wi.nr, and their access preferences. Winr visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using wi.nr, with the drawback that certain features of wi.nr, may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Ads

Ads appearing on wi.nr may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Winr and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Privacy Policy Changes

Winr may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Winr's sole discretion. Winr encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
