Legal & Privacy
Game-Pic.com is a service which allows users to upload images,
and videos and associate them with a unique URL to create online access to the
images and videos for themselves and others, both on the Site and on other
websites where the user posts the URL ("quick link feature"). This Privacy
Policy describes Game-Pic.com's use and sharing of personally identifiable
information ("PII"-- your full name or email address,) that Members voluntarily
provide to Game-Pic.com when they register or update the Settings part of their
Profile (also known as "Registration PII"). The Term "User" refers to a
Visitor or a Member. This Privacy Policy applies to the services offered by Game-Pic.com, which
may include the Site, image and video sharing (including the quick link
feature), other features (for example, image editor), and any other features,
content, mobile services, Game-Pic.com branded URLs or applications offered from
time to time by Game-Pic.com in connection with Game-Pic.com's business (collectively,
the "Game-Pic.com Services").
The Site is a general
audience site and Game-Pic.com does not knowingly collect PII from children under 13
years of age.
From time to time Game-Pic.com may
modify this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the
law, our PII collection and use practices, the features of the Game-Pic.comServices, or technology, and such modifications shall be effective upon posting
by Game-Pic.com on the Site. Your continued use of the Game-Pic.com Services after Game-Pic.composts a revised Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the revised Privacy
Policy. It is therefore important that you review this Privacy Policy
regularly to ensure you are updated as to any changes. If Game-Pic.com materially
changes its practices regarding collection or use of your PII, your PII will
continue to be governed by the Policy under which it was collected unless you
have been provided notice of, and have not objected to, the change.

in connection with the Game-Pic.com Services. Third party applications are small
bits of software, often with interactivity, that users may be able to install
into profiles, use to access the Game-Pic.com Services, or share with other Users.
However, Game-Pic.com does not control the third party developers, and cannot
dictate their actions. When a Member engages with a third party application,
that Member is interacting with the third party developer, not with Game-Pic.com.

unless the Member knows the party with whom it is interacting.
