INTRODUCTION:
Thank you for visiting the Earth Force Rangers website. Your
privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy,
and to help ensure a rewarding online experience for all visitors,
we provide this Privacy Statement summarizing our online information
practices and explaining the choices you can make about the
way your information is collected and used. This Privacy Statement
applies only to personally identifiable information collected
on CM Creative's Web sites where this Privacy Statement is posted
(the "Sites") and does not apply to any other information
collected by CM Creative and its affiliated entities through
any other means. CM Creative and its affiliated entities are
collectively referred to in this Privacy Statement as "CM
Creative," "we" or "us."
CM Creative is committed to providing fun, safe and secure Sites
for people of all ages. We are dedicated to safeguarding all
personal information collected online and to helping our visitors
learn how to exercise control over personal information while
exploring the Internet. Because many visitors to the Sites are
children, we make efforts to ensure that children access only
the content that is appropriate for them. In addition, we employ
special measures to help children protect their privacy while
online. We do not ask children to disclose more personal information
than is necessary for them to participate in a particular activity,
and we take steps to prevent children from posting contact information.
As we continue to offer our visitors new and different types
of content and services, we may modify our practices from time
to time.
I. The Information We Collect
At CM Creative, we do not collect personally identifiable information
on our Sites unless our visitors voluntarily provide it to us.
For some activities, such as online polls or surveys, we may
ask visitors to provide information that is not personally identifiable.
This might include first name only, city or state of residence,
age, gender, or a favorite cartoon character. For some other
activities, such as entering sweepstakes and subscribing to
our e-mail newsletters, we may ask visitors to provide a first
name and e-mail address.
For other activities, such as sending an electronic postcard
or e-mail to a friend, we may also ask for personal information
about other people. This is usually limited to a first name
and e-mail address. E-mail addresses collected to send an electronic
postcard or e-mail to a friend are deleted immediately when
the requested postcard or e-mail is transmitted. For some limited
activities, campaigns, or offers, intended for parents and adults,
we may ask a parent or adult to provide their name, address,
e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card information,
cable or satellite provider, and/or information about their
interests in and use of various products, programs, and services.
Visitors who order merchandise or other materials from the Sites
or participate in certain interactive features will be required
to provide their full name, billing and mailing addresses, e-mail
address, telephone number and a credit card number. If an order
is being shipped to a third party, we will also |
|
need the recipient's name and mailing address. Before collecting
information in connection with an e-commerce order, we will
verify the validity of the purchaser's credit card. On occasion,
we might solicit additional voluntary information regarding
shoppers' personal shopping preferences. When a child under
age thirteen participates in another ongoing activity that requires
the collection, retention, and use of personal information,
we will also ask for a parent's e-mail address so that we can
notify the parent that we have received personal information
from their child. We do not knowingly collect names and e-mail
addresses from children under age thirteen for these types of
activities without notifying the parent via e-mail and giving
the parent the option to remove their child's e-mail address
from the applicable database for that activity. For specific
one-time requests we receive from visitors, e-mail addresses
are collected and used only in connection with the specific
one-time request. For example, for sweepstakes and contests,
e-mail addresses are collected for the purpose of entering the
online sweepstakes or contest on a one-time basis and are used
to notify winners of the sweepstakes or contest once by e-mail.
Winners will be required to return a completed prize acceptance
form contained in the notification e-mail by facsimile or U.S.
mail within a designated time period (along with the signature
of a parent or legal guardian for all minors).
In connection with registration for certain interactive online
games or features on the site, we may ask users to provide certain
information that is not personally identifiable such as city
or state of residence, date of birth and gender. For children
under the age of thirteen, we will ask for the child's e-mail
address, which will not be stored in a retrievable form but
instead using a "hash" or unique code generated from
the e-mail address that will allow us on a one-time basis, for
example, to respond to an inquiry from the child regarding a
lost user name or password. We also may ask for a parental email
address for children under age 13 who register in order to provide
notice to the parent that his or her child would like to participate
in registration for certain interactive features. For individuals
age thirteen and over, we may collect and store an e-mail address
to use in the case of forgotten passwords and to send newsletters
and/or marketing information for which the individual has consented.
When visitors come to our Sites, we also may collect some non-personally
identifiable information such as the type of computer operating
system you are using (e.g., Windows or Mac OS), the type of
browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the
domain name of the Internet service provider (e.g., America
Online, Earthlink), your activities while visiting our Sites
and your activities while playing games or utilizing services
on our Sites (e.g., which of our Web pages you viewed or which
games you played).
II. How We Use the Information
We use visitors' personal information collected in connection
with child-directed activities for internal purposes only, such
as enabling visitors to enter our online contests or sweepstakes
or to subscribe to an online newsletter. These notifications
are sent only to those visitors to the Sites who ask to receive
them.
