TERMS AND PRIVACY STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
The privacy of your personal information is very important to CYBERHERO LEAGUE. This privacy policy describes how we protect and handle the personal information that you provide to us and that we obtain through our services.
In the CYBERHERO LEAGUE, activity data for each member is always kept private and only accessible to the member. High level participation data (quest status, total points, badges earned) is also accessible to a member’s followers. Member’s activity data is only tied to a screen name and device ID.
WHO WE ARE
This privacy policy applies to CYBERHERO LEAGUE, owned and operated by Evolutionary Guidance Media R&D, Inc. In this privacy policy, the terms “Cyberhero League”, “we”, “us” and “ours” refer to Evolutionary Guidance Media R&D, Inc.
The term “Website” means the website located at cyberheroleague.com. The term “Mobile Application” means our Cyberhero League smartphone mobile application. In combination, we refer to our Website, and Mobile Application as our “Services.” A variety of people may be engaged in the Cyberhero League experience at one time: for instance, Parents, Grandparents, and Kids.
For this Privacy Policy, the term “Account Holders” refers to individuals who have an account with Cyberhero League and can sign into the Mobile Application using their email address and password (“Credentials”). The term “Participants” refers to individuals who synchronize device data (for instance, data from a Cyberhero League "Wearable" to the Mobile Application. People of all ages, including kids are examples of Participants. The term “Visitors” refers to individuals who visit the Mobile Application or Website without signing in or synchronizing device data. Together, Account Holders, Participants, and Visitors are referred to as “Users”.

We ask for the participant’s birthdate in order to comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which requires participants under the age of 13 to use the service with verifiable parental consent. In accordance with industry standards, we conduct parental verification by processing a credit card. We collection location-based data because Cyberhero League is has geo-location based game features and thus tracks location-based information from your mobile device.
