We maintain two types of logs: server logs and event logs.

Third-Party Embeds
Some of the content that you see displayed on 1st Choice Pool Tables is not hosted by 1st Choice Pool Tables. These “embeds” are hosted by a third-party and embedded in 1st Choice Pool Tables. For example: YouTube or Vimeo videos that appear within a 1st Choice Pool Tables product or post. These files send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly (for example, when you load a 1st Choice Pool Tables post page with a YouTube video embedded in it, YouTube receives data about your activity). 1st Choice Pool Tables does not control what data third parties collect in cases like this, or what they will do with it. So, third-party embeds on 1st Choice Pool Tables are not covered by this privacy policy. They are covered by the privacy policy of the third-party service. Some embeds may ask you for personal information, such as your email address, through a form. We do our best to keep bad actors off of 1st Choice Pool Tables. However, if you choose to submit your information to a third party this way, we don’t know what they may do with it. As explained above, their actions are not covered by this Privacy Policy. So, please be careful when you see embedded forms on 1st Choice Pool Tables asking for your email address or any other personal information. Make sure you understand who you are submitting your information to and what they say they plan to do with it. We suggest that you do not submit personal information to any third-party through an embedded form. If you embed a form that allows submission of personal information by users, you must provide near the embedded form a prominent link to an applicable Privacy Policy that clearly states how you intend to use any information collected. Failure to do so may lead 1st Choice Pool Tables to disable the post or take other action to limit or disable your account.
