Legal

The following is quasi-legal information for those of you who are interested in how Father Geek does what it does behind the scenes. Prepare to be epically bored…unless you are a lawyer, in which case, this should please you.

Privacy

Reader submitted email addresses are used by the Father Geek editorial staff to get in contact with the submitter if there are any questions regarding the content contribution. During a contest, emails submitted by participants are held until such time a winner is announced.

Email addresses and other contact information are removed from any and all online data and chucked headfirst into the Abyss after they have been used for the singular purpose of either obtaining additional information regarding a content contribution or informing the reader or contest participant. Emails entered into comments remain until the comment is removed.

Father Geek will never sell, print, share or distribute contact information to any 2nd or 3rd party group no matter how many gazillions of dollars they offer us. And if a 4th party should suddenly exist and ever approach us, we’ll tell them to take a hike, too.

Content Contribution

Any and all information sent to the Father Geek is submitted for review and published as time allows. Submission of material does not guarantee publication. If there are any questions regarding your submitted content, Father Geek will contact you using the email you provided. If the emails go unanswered after 1 week, the content contribution is discarded. Readers are welcome and encouraged to contribute as often as they like. See Contribute for more details.

Advertisements on Father Geek are provided for free to game publishers, designers, and game companies. See Advertise for more details if you are a game company, designer, or publisher looking for some visibility.

Father Geek uses 3rd party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our web site. These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please see Opt Out of Behavioral Advertising from the Network Advertising Initiative. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Father Geek does collect ad revenue, albeit exceedingly small, from these 3rd party advertising companies. It helps us keep the site up and pay the bills to ensure we are here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Contests, Promotions, and Giveaways

Winners of contests, promotions, and giveaways are selected using the random number generator available from random.org. Winners are contacted via their provided email and have 72 hours (3 days) to respond with their address. If a winner’s email is incorrect or does not respond within 72 hours, another winner will be selected. See Giveaways for the current contests hosted by Father Geek.
