by submitting your credit card information to us, you authorize GameFiestaTM to
periodically verify that your credit card account continues to be a valid and

share your specific credit card information with this third party for
verification purposes. Apart from the foregoing uses, GameFiestaTM and its
affiliates and/or subsidiaries reserve the right to share with third parties
the fact that they have credit card information on file for specific customers

USE OF
COOKIES:
A cookie is a piece of data stored on a customer or visitor's hard drive
containing information about the respective customer or visitor. Cookies can
provide great convenience for our Users. For instance, by setting a cookie on
our Website, a customer would not have to log in a password more than once,
thereby saving time while on our Website. Even your payment information can be
kept on file and thereafter used to facilitate additional Game purchases at the
Website. However, even in the case where an existing customer rejects a cookie,
he/she may still use our Website. The only drawback to this is that the
customer will be limited in what he/she can access in some areas on our
Website, much like visitor-level access.
We occasionally use
cookies and pixel gifs to track and target the interests of our Users to
enhance the experience on our Website and/or for advertising tracking purposes.

every precaution to protect our customers' information. When a customer submits

process prompts a customer to enter sensitive information (such as a credit
card or social security number), the information is encrypted and is protected
with industry-standard encryption - SSL technology. While we use SSL encryption
to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to
protect customer information off-line. Access to customer information is
restricted in our offices and areas where such information is stored. Only
employees who need access to the information to perform a specific job are
granted access to personally identifiable information. If you have any
questions about the security at our Website, please contact us. security@traffixinc.com.
