provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future
shopping for you, improving our stores, and communicating with you.
• Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information
whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and
we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses PlayGameface.com.
Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalized experience at

sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such
transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business
assets but remains subject
to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless,
of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that
PlayGameface.com,
Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer
information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
