Consent to
Privacy Policy
By opening an account and/or by registering
with Rummy.com, You agree to the terms of this
Privacy Policy. We may occasionally update
this document and We therefore encourage You
to periodically review both the Privacy Policy
and the Terms and Conditions. If We change Our
Privacy Policy We will post the changes on
this page. Your continued use of the Rummy.com
Site and of the Rummy.com Service constitutes
your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any

9. CONSENT TO USE OF
ANTI-CHEATING SOFTWARE
Our Software, used to access and use the
Service, contains certain features designed to
detect use of automated programs that enable
artificial (non human) intelligence to play on
Our Service. Use of such 'bot' software
programs violates Our
Terms and Conditions, where We deem it
detrimental to other players. By installing
Our Software and using the Service, You
consent to Our Software performing the
functions described in this section. Our
Software may perform any or all of the
following functions in order to detect the use
of illicit automated programs and ensure that
We maintain a 'cheat free' environment for all
users: (1) scan your list of active Software
applications while You are using the Service;
(2) scan your list of active processes while
You are using the Service; and (3) scan the
files in your white label service site related
program folders to ensure that only authorised
versions of Our Software are being used. If
any of the foregoing processes reveals a
suspect application or process, Our Software
may scan the files associated with the suspect
application or process and compile a composite
mesh (a profile that characterizes the files
associated with the application or process) to
be matched against profiles for known illicit
automated programs. Our Software will not
perform any random search of large portions of
your hard drive, equipment or files, and it
will not transmit any information to Us or to
any third party other than the information
necessary to identify use of illicit automated
programs as described above. Our Software will
not alter any files or information on your
computer or other equipment and will not
interfere with the operation of any of your
applications. You may terminate use of Our
Software at any time by uninstalling Our
Software package.
10. THIRD PARTY PRACTICES
We cannot ensure the protection of any
information or images that You provide to a
third party online site that links to or from
the white label service or any information
collected by any third party administering Our
affiliate program (if applicable) or any other
program, since these third party online sites
are owned and operated independently of Us.
Any information collected by these third
parties is not governed by this Privacy Policy
but by the privacy policy, if any, of such
third party. If You have questions about a
third party's information practices, please
read its privacy policy. We assume no
responsibility or liability whatsoever for the
practices, actions or policies of such third
parties, and We are not responsible for the
content or privacy practices of such online
sites.
11. DISCLAIMER
Rummy.com does not assume liability for any
events beyond Our direct control. Despite Our
best efforts to maintain your privacy, due to
the nature of the technology and software, We
cannot guarantee, nor do We represent that
there will be error free performance as
regards to the privacy of your Personal
Information. Rummy.com will not be liable for
any indirect, incidental, consequential, or
punitive damages relating to the use or
release of Personal Information.
