The GAME CHEF, LLC. Online Information Collection Practices and Privacy Policy
The GAME CHEF LLC. is committed to protecting the online privacy of visitors to our site. The GAME CHEF does not require anyone to share personal information in order to enjoy our site, and we do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily provide it.
Maintaining your privacy and trust are important to us at The GAME CHEF, LLC. On the GAME CHEF web site (the “Site”), The GAME CHEF and its affiliates collect information from users in connection with certain features and services. This privacy policy is designed to tell you how personal information is collected and used on this Site so that you can make an informed decision about using our Site. A special section of this policy addresses the additional provisions that apply to the collection of information from children under 13 years of age.
Please read this policy before using our Site or submitting any personal information to us. By using our Site, you consent to the information collection and use practices described in this policy. The GAME CHEF reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes in an updated privacy policy so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. The date of the last revision is always posted at the top of the privacy policy. Your use of this Site following the posting of such changes or revised policy shall constitute acceptance of any such changes.

NOTE TO PARENTS: The GAME CHEF believes that the Internet is a valuable tool that can be used to help children grow and learn. We also realize that children are more susceptible than adults to sites that are not credible. In order to make this the best possible site for both children and adults, The GAME CHEF adheres to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) and the guidelines of the Children’s Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
