We developed this Web site to be an enjoyable
experience for customers of all ages, including kids
under 13. We recognize that some younger children
may not understand some of the information contained
on this Web site or how this Web site operates.
PLEASE BE SURE TO CAUTION YOUR CHILD UNDER 13
AGAINST PROVIDING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE

OBTAINING YOUR CONSENT. It is our policy not to
collect personally identifiable information from
children under 13 without first obtaining a parent's

Please discuss this Privacy Policy with your
children so that they will better understand how to
use this Web site and the information they may be

our visitors with accurate and adequate notice about
the Web site will lead to informed choices and
decisions about how to use the Web site, as well as
protecting our users' privacy. |

What Information Do We Collect? |
Generally, we limit the collection of information to
what is known as non-personally identifiable
information (such as, first name, age, state or

of our Web site activities. This information is
collected so that visitors can participate in
activities (such as, receiving our e-mail
newsletter[s], building homepages, saving game
designs and scores, participating in our question
polls) without giving out unnecessary personal
information other than an e-mail address. |

However, in some areas on our Web site personally
identifiable information is asked for and collected
(for example, web development hosting, online
sweepstakes, online promotions, and the registered
area of this site) and you may not be able to access
those areas or participate in certain activities
without giving the necessary personal information.
Where we request additional information from you in
connection with a Web site's activity such
information may be personal. Whenever we request
that you submit such information, we will endeavor
to notify you of our intended use of the
information, as more specifically discussed below.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO
PROVIDE, AND CAN DECLINE TO PROVIDE, ANY REQUESTED
INFORMATION AT ANY TIME. HOWEVER, IF YOU DECLINE,
YOU MAY NOT BE GRANTED SERVICES OR ABLE TO

specific rules and regulations governing the
particular promotion will vary and your
participation constitutes your agreement to abide by

collecting your prize on your behalf, in which case
the prize will not be awarded. |

Cookies: |
We use a software technology called "cookies" to
collect non-personally identifiable information.
Cookies are pieces of information that we may place
on your computer to help "personalize" your visit to
the Web site and to allow you to enter our Web site
without having to remember and enter any special
passwords. For example, a "cookie" will allow us to
remember certain things about you, such as your
screen name, to track visitor scores or to help you
keep track of where you left off in a game.
"Cookies" may include the type of browser software
you use to access the Internet (i.e. Internet
Explorer, Netscape 3.0,); type of operating system
(i.e. Windows 95, Mac, etc.), and/or the domain name
of your Internet service provider. Except with
respect to our e-commerce activities (e.g., on-line
purchases), we do not link your non-personally
identifiable information in "cookies" with
personally identifiable information about you. |
. |
In addition, some companies place or provide banner
ads on this Web site that might also place cookies.
Each of these companies use this cookie information
according to their own privacy and security
policies. You can find and evaluate these companies
at the end of this Privacy Policy as 'Appendix A,'
and we will keep this list updated. |

the optional e-mail from us on the "Your Account"
page to control the messages you receive from us;
and/or (2) opt-in or opt-out of receiving
communications from third-party sponsors or
promotional partners at the time of registration. If
you elect to receive these communications, we will
transmit the information that you provide to this
third party. Note, however, that each third party is
governed by a different privacy policy and may have
a different method than our Web site to opt-out of
future communications. |
. |
IP Address and Machine Type: |
An IP address is a number automatically assigned to
your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web
servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages,
automatically identify your computer by its IP
address. When you request a page from our Web site,
our servers log your IP address. An IP address does
not contain personally identifiable information.
Except with respect to our e-commerce activities
(e.g., on-line purchases), we do not link IP
addresses with personally identifiable information.
We may use your IP address to help diagnose problems
with our server and to administer our Web site. Your
IP address is used to help identify you and your
shopping cart and to gather broad demographic
information. We may also collect information about
your browser software and/or machine type (e.g.,
Windows, Mac, Unix, etc.). |

Links: |
We do create links to the Web sites of other
parties. See
Disclaimer.
IF YOU ARE UNDER 13, GET YOUR PARENT'S OR GUARDIAN'S
CONSENT BEFORE LINKING TO OTHER WEB SITES.
Independently-operated Web sites are not associated
with or authorized by us and may also have links
leading to this Web site. We cannot control any of
these links and are not responsible for any content
appearing on Web sites linked to or from our Web
site, or for any personal information gathered at
those independently-operated Web sites. |
. |
Bumper Pages: |
We sometimes provide a "bumper page" when linking
from our Web site to an independently-operated Web
site, which lets you know you are going to an
independently-operated Web site and reminds them not
to give out information online without their
parent's permission. |
. |
Data Integrity and Security: |
We take reasonable precautions to keep your personal
information secure. We have put in place appropriate
physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard the information we collect. In cases where
the information is not stored on separate computer
servers, it is only accessible from specific
computers within our control. We have and will
continue to take reasonable measures to assure the
security and accuracy of all information our
visitors share with us. Our efforts include
procedures designed to avoid any unauthorized
access, alteration, misuse or disclosure of
personally identifiable information. |

make any material changes in how we collect, use or
we wish to share your child's information in any
manner not previously authorized by you. We will
require third parties with whom we have written
agreements involving the sharing of personally
identifiable information of kids under 13 to agree
to protect the privacy of that information in
accordance with applicable law. |

SPECIAL Note to Parents of Kids Under 13: |
We may collect the name of a child or parent and
online contact information in order to obtain
parental consent to parents of kids under 13 or to
provide parental notice. If a visitor indicates that
he/she is under the age of 13, he/she will be asked
to supply a parent's or guardian's e-mail address.
In this case, the parent or guardian will receive an
e-mail message containing instructions on how to
enable the child's account and until the parent or
guardian enables the child's account, the account is
disabled. If we do not receive the parent's or
guardian's said consent within a reasonable time, we
delete this information from our records. We also
may collect this information to respond to a
specific request from a child under 13. Once we
respond to a request from a child under 13, we may
not contact your child again and the information is
deleted from our records. We take very seriously the
safety of children, especially those under 13 and
may also collect this information to protect that
safety. If we do collect information to protect the
safety of your child, we provide notice to you and
we do not use that information for any other
purpose. You can always ask us to review or delete
any of your child's information at any time by
sending us a written request at the Contact
Information below and you can ask that we do not use
or collect any more personal information from your
child. However, if you ask us to delete your child's
information that is necessary to participate in our
activities, we may have to ask your child not to
participate in our activities. |
