| Argosy Gaming Company, Inc.("Argosy") has created this Privacy Statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. Argosy believes that concern for everyone's privacy is a basis for sound business practices within direct marketing and other arenas. This statement is intended to apply to all visitors of web sites owned and operated by Argosy. Argosy does not collect personally identifiable information about visitors except when visitors specifically provide such information on a voluntary basis. For example, such personally identifiable information may be gathered from the registration process for subscription sites or services and in connection with content submissions, community postings (e.g., chat and bulletin boards), suggestions, and transactional areas. Such information may be used by Argosy for the following purposes: contacting a subscriber regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement, special discounts, promotions, products offered and other matters relevant to the underlying service and/or the information collected. Argosy values opinions and comments from our visitors, so we occasionally conduct online surveys. These surveys are entirely optional for all visitors. Most frequently, the information is aggregated and used to make improvements to Argosy's web sites and to develop appealing content, features and promotions for our visitors. Survey participants are anonymous unless otherwise stated in the survey. Argosy reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of visitors behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site and to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of visitors that have been exposed to or clicked on their advertising banners. Argosy will provide only aggregated data from these analyses to third parties. Also, visitors should be aware that Argosy may sometimes permit third parties to offer subscription and/or registration-based services through an Argosy web site. Argosy is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties and visitors should check the applicable privacy policy of such party when providing personally identifiable information. Our visitors should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personally identifiable information (e.g., user name, e-mail address) on the bulletin boards or in the chat areas of Argosy sites, that information, along with any substantive information disclosed in the visitor's communication, can be collected, correlated and used by third parties. This information may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Argosy. Our visitors also should be aware that non-personal information (for example, domain names or e-mail and IP addresses) and data may be automatically collected through the standard operation of Argosy's internet servers or at Argosy's discretion through the use of "cookies." "Cookies" are small text files a web site can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate a visitor's ongoing access to and use of the site, track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising. Cookies are not programs that come onto a visitor's system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site. Visitors to Argosy web sites should be aware that Argosy cannot control the use of cookies, or the non-personal information collected through the cookies by advertisers or third parties hosting data for Argosy. If a visitor does not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows the visitor to deny or accept the cookie feature. However, visitors should note that cookies may be necessary to provide them with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of information) available on the Argosy web sites. Upon a visitor's request, Argosy will:
- allow any visitor to "opt out" of further email promotional contacts; Please contact
unsubscribe@argosy.com
- use reasonable efforts to allow visitors to update/correct personal information previously submitted which he/she states is erroneous to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or security interests; Please contact help@argosy.com
Our visitors should be aware that it might be impossible to completely delete erroneous information or a visitor's personal information without some residual information remaining in its database because of backups and records of deletions. Argosy has in place certain commercially measurable technological and procedural security measures in an attempt to protect and safeguard the security of personal information provided by our visitors. Strict measures will be taken to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or dissemination of personal information. Argosy links to outside websites.
