When signing up with ScRRRatch.com, you are entrusting us to look after the data you provide to us via registration. This is a responsibility we do not take lightly and our primary goal is to ensure the safe keeping of your data.

This privacy policy is designed to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and how you can delete it.

We are an interactive advertising portal using free games as a means to connect advertisers with consumers.

In order to use our service, you are required to provide over 20 data points which we use as a means to provide statistical information and demographics to advertisers whose games you play.

For example, when you play a game, we increment each data point category in a statistical table relating to the game. Once a game term has completed, our advertisers are provided with demographics relating to the audience that has engaged with the game. The idea is to help them to better understand the audience their products attract.

In addition to this, we use data points as a means to target competitions to a given audience. For example, if an advertiser had a product that was mostly relevant to over 50 year olds, the games can be modified to show to that target audience.

So what information do we collect?
