Unfortunately, some people attempt to gain information about users by sending malicious emails and Facebook messages impersonating Zynga. This is known as phishing and is an attempt to trick users into giving their account login information to an unauthorized third party.

Be wary of any messages received on Facebook alerting you that you have won prizes or need to verify your account. Always make sure to check the sender, Zynga will only send email from accounts with @zyngamail.com or @zynga.com as their domain. Also, ensure you are on a Zynga website when entering any personal information. One way to ensure that you are on the right website is to type it in to your browser’s insertion point rather than following links. For more information and examples on phishing messages please see our Security Page.

Zynga works with web publishers and advertising networks (“Advertising Partners”) to deliver interest-based ads to users that have visited Zynga sites, played Zynga’s games or accessed Zynga’s content including videos (“Zynga Users”).

This practice is also referred to as online behavioral advertising and here’s a brief description of how it works at Zynga.

Our Advertising Partners use software that recognizes cookies that are placed on the browsers of Zynga Users. When the ad software recognizes these cookies or pixels they deliver ads for Zynga’s products and services when Zynga Users are on third party websites. Many ofthese ads for Zynga’s products will include an icon that an ad recipient can click to learn more about the ad, why she received it and how to exercise choice. The icon displayed may range from the ad choices icon to a questionmark (“?”) in the corner of the ad unit. To learn more about how interest based advertising works go here. If you’d like to know more about online behavioral advertising in general and your choices you may visit the DAA and the NAI.
