Ads
Ads appearing on any of our Applications or Websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by GG/GAD, and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Social Sharing

We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of third-party websites. If the user choses to do so, he or she agrees to all of Facebook’s and/or Twitter’s policies. Additionally, any data collected by signing in to a GG/GAD app through this method will not be used for any purposes other than logging in and sharing comments on the Mobile Application and the user’s own Facebook and/or Twitter account.

Our Applications and Websites may contain links to other websites. If you choose to visit an advertiser by “clicking on” a banner ad or other type of advertisement, or click on another third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website.

Security of Personal Data
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to guard against unauthorized or unlawful processing of your personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, your personal data. While we believe the measures we have implemented reduce our vulnerability to security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data we hold, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
