INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
Upon registration

will ask for your full name, billing address, telephone number and credit card
number in order to ship you your products and provide you with all of
Gamehog's services.
We use your

understand your need for anonymity we will make all attempts to contact you via
email. We do not use your telephone number for marketing purposes.
Our database
stores this information so that placing future orders will be quicker and
easier. If you want to update your address or change credit cards, go to your
Gamehog account page and make the appropriate changes.
We may also use
that information to let you know of additional products and services about
which you might be interested. You can choose not to receive such information
if you don't want to by letting us know on the registration screen when you
sign up for our service. We may ask you for information about your interests so
that both you and we can take advantage of the interactivity of the online
medium, but you may always choose to not respond.
