In certain cases, your profile photo, can reveal your social network ID or PLAYOVEN. player ID, and access to a social network ID or PLAYOVEN. player ID may allow others to view the public information associated with your related social network profile or PLAYOVEN. account. Other players may also be able to send you game requests or friend requests through the related social network’s or PLAYOVEN.’s communication channels.

We have advertising on our Services. We can continue to offer many of our Services for free.

These offers are not made by PLAYOVEN.. These offers may be shown to you based on certain technical information, like your geographic area or de-identified demographic information.

Note that if you opt-out of our Promotional Communications or other forms of communication, we may still e-mail or communicate with you from time to time if we need to provide you with information about the Service or if we need to request information from you with respect to a transaction initiated by you or for other legitimate non-marketing reasons, for example, if we update this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service.

Opting Out of Cookie Tracking
You can set your web browser to warn you about attempts to place cookies on your computer or limit the type of cookies you allow.

V. Privacy Policies of Linked Third Party Services and Advertisers
Our websites, games and services may show advertisements from Third Party Services, which are companies other than PLAYOVEN. that may link to their own websites, online services or mobile applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these Third Party Services. If you have any questions about how these Third Party Services use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.

VI. International Operations and Data Transfers
When you use Our Services, your data may be sent to the Republic of Korea and possibly other countries.
As part of our international operations, we may transfer data to our Affiliates (which means subsidiaries, parent companies, joint ventures and other corporate entities under common ownership with PLAYOVEN.) from time to time for our legitimate business purposes. 
Please note that laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and so the privacy laws applicable to the places where your information is transferred to or stored, used or processed in, may be different from the privacy laws applicable to the place where you reside.

VII. How Long We Keep Your Information
How long we retain your information depends on why we collected it and how we use it. We will not retain your personal information for longer than is necessary for our business purposes or for legal requirements. 

VIII. Security of Your Information
We implement appropriate security measures to protect the security of your information both online and offline, and we are committed to the protection of customer information. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
If you have an account registered directly with PLAYOVEN., your profile information is protected by the password you use to access your PLAYOVEN. account. It is important that you protect and maintain your PLAYOVEN. account’s security and that you immediately tell us of any unauthorized use of your account. If you forget the password to your PLAYOVEN. account, the Service allows you to request that instructions be sent to you that explain how to reset your password. If you access our Services through a social network and your social network account is hacked, this may lead to someone playing your PLAYOVEN. games without your permission. So, be careful to keep your social network account information, including your social network account password, secure as well. You SHOULD log out of your PLAYOVEN. account and any social network account you have used to access our Services after you use it.
When you sign into your PLAYOVEN. account or enter payment information, we or our third party payment processor use secure socket layer technology ("SSL") to encrypt the transmission of that information.
While we take reasonable precautions against possible security breaches of our Services and our customer databases and records, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. Although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur, we cannot guarantee the security of your information while it is being transmitted to our Service. Any transmission is at your own risk. 

IX. Changes to Our Privacy Policy
If we decide to make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will tell you and other players by placing a notice on BIGFUNINC.com or in-game. We may supplement this process by placing notices on game blogs, social network pages, and/or forums and on other PLAYOVEN. websites. You should periodically check and this privacy page for updates.

X. Contact Us
If you have any questions, comments or concerns regarding our Privacy Policy and/or practices, please send an e-mail to
