We've created this policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. The following statement discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for our Web site (http://www.gigglemoose.com):
Listen Up,
Kids!
For your safety and privacy, we strictly adhere to the rules of the new Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act. Besides, it's the law! So if you are
under 13, please don't give us any information about yourself without your
parent's permission. You also cannot buy anything from Gigglemoose.com.
Parents and Teachers . . .
All of the content on Gigglemoose.com is specifically designed to be
appropriate for children of all ages. But the material is most beneficial when
used by children with adults, whether that be a parent, teacher, or
volunteer. That's why we strongly encourage your participation---both online and
outside. We cannot filter or safeguard against every external site on the
Internet, so please stay aware of your child's online usage. There are a number
of software programs available that allow you to screen out objectionable
material.
Privacy specifics for all visitors . . .
Cookies and Information
Automatically Logged
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to
administer our Web site. Your IP address is also used to help identify you and
your shopping cart, and to gather broad demographic information. Our site uses
"cookies" to keep track of your shopping cart, and to make sure you
don't see the same ad repeatedly. We also use cookies to deliver content
specific to your interests, and to save any passwords you create with us so you
don't have to re-enter them each time you visit our site. Cookies also help us
manage any Personal Profile you may establish with us. By tracking this
anonymous information along with specific page visits, we are able to tailor your
experience at Gigglemoose.com. The data is reviewed and then discarded. None of this information is sold, rented,
or otherwise disseminated to other organizations for commercial purposes.
Advertisers
We sometimes use an outside ad agency to display ads on our site. These ads may
contain cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies
received with banner ads are collected by the ad companies, and we do not have
access to that information.
Order Forms, Registration Forms, and
Contests
Our Web site's order forms, registration forms, and contest forms often require
you to provide contact information (like name, e-mail and postal address),
unique identifiers (like social security number), demographic information (like
zip code, gender, and age), and sometimes financial information (like account or
credit card numbers). Contact information from registration forms is used to
verify your identity, create account numbers in our record system, ship
purchases, notify you of special offers, and provide information about our
company. Customer contact information is also used to get in touch with you when
necessary. This information is shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis.
However, we will never make your phone number or e-mail address available to
anyone outside our organization. Of course, you may opt-out of receiving future
mailings at any time; see the Choice/Opt-Out section below.
"Affiliate Shops" and
External Links
In association with leading online retailers, the Gigglemoose.com store
sometimes offers related merchandise for sale through "affiliate"
relationships (separate from our own online store). You will need to
visit each individual site for full disclosure of their privacy policies. Our
site also provides links to other sites which we think might be of interest to
you. Although we are very selective of the sites we recommend, Gigglemoose.com
is not responsible for the privacy practices of such Web sites, including the
previously mentioned "affiliate shops."
Public Forums
This site makes chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or news groups available
to you. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas
becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to
disclose your personal information.
Security
This site uses a secure server to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of
any information you submit.
Children's Guidelines
Obviously, we care a great deal about children and understand that they have special
privacy needs. Right from the beginning, our site adopted a strict children's
privacy policy---one that already met the standards now required by law in the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act. Our policy is outlined below:
Choice/Opt Out and Data Quality
Our site provides you with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
promotional/marketing material from us. (Please specify in your correspondence
that you do not want to receive future notices from Gigglemoose.com.) Our
site also provides you with the opportunity to change or modify information
previously provided. (If possible, please specify in your correspondence what
specific information you would like to change.)
