5. PRIVACY STATEMENT

We try our hardest to maintain a descriptive and honest privacy policy. In attempts to make Canasis as fun, easy to use, and safe as possible, we may automatically collect information from Canasis pertaining to Canasis errors, problem areas, help usefulness, advertising within Canasis, usage of Canasis, ratings, ladder positions, tournament standings, sets played, and other information directly related to Canasis. This information does NOT include real name, email address, information about your use of the internet outside of Canasis, geographic location, financial information, or other very sensitive information. The information may also be combined with large groups of people to obtain statistics about Canasis and its usage. For example, but not limited to these examples, we may obtain statistics such as 60% of Canasis users are female, 10% of people read the tutorials before playing, and 25% of people play regularly. Any such information obtained from Canasis will become solely our property, and can be used in whatever way we choose. Canasis is our intellectual property, and we have the right to monitor its abuse, usage, and problem areas, but we do so while respecting your privacy. MPI reserves the right to disclose any information mentioned above if, in MPI's sole discretion, doing so is needed to protect MPI, its rights, its property, its users, or is required by law. Other information may be voluntarily provided by you (for example, typing in your email address during membership or tournament signup), such information will not be disclosed to outside parties, sold, or made publicly available on an individual basis without your prior consent.
