Our Site complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and rules promulgated there under (collectively, “COPPA”), which you may read about by clicking www.ftc.gov. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully because it describes our information, collection practices, the kind of information we need to gather in order to serve you better, and how, why and under what circumstances we may use or disclose such private information.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information and What You Can Do About It Much of the content on the Site is accessible without any need for us to collect personally identifiable information from you. When we refer to personally identifiable information we mean any combination of your e-mail address, full name, home or business address, credit card information, billing address, age, gender, birth date, or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact you. The type of personally identifiable information collected may depend on the service or feature that you are trying to access or obtain. Information Gathered Through Technology When your web browser accesses the Site, we collect certain information via “cookies.” “Cookies” are pieces of information that our Site sends to your computer while you are visiting us. Most web sites use “cookies” because “cookies” make the use of the Site more useful for the guest. For example, “cookies” help us set the language of many of the voices you hear on the Site. We never save personally identifiable information in “cookies.” Most browsers are initially set up to accept “cookies.” You can reset your browser to refuse all “cookies” or indicate when a “cookie” is being sent. You may disable the “cookies” if you wish by using utilities provided by companies not associated with our Site. Unfortunately, if you choose to visit our Site anonymously, which you can do, of course, you will not be able to take advantage of many of the great features and content the Site has to offer. When We Might Share Your Personally Identifiable Information With Third Parties Your privacy is important to us, which is why we do not share your personally identifiable information with third parties except in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may be required to share your personally identifiable information to comply with a court order or subpoena, to enforce our terms and conditions or to protect your safety and security when you visit the Site. Links To Other Sites For the enjoyment of our guests, we provide links to other web sites. We are not responsible for the information collection, use and disclosure practices of those other web sites, and we advise our guests, and their parents in case of our children guests, to check the privacy policies of each such other web site before using it, to understand how your personal information will be handled on each such other web site. Our Privacy Policy does not apply to any of the other web sites that we provide links to.

Legal Information Although the Site follows and complies with COPPA, this does not guarantee safety or that the relevant person is a child or a parent or legal guardian, and the Site does not guarantee the actual identities claimed by its guests. Also, we do not guarantee that your children will not voluntarily release personal information about themselves or about you or their friends or other acquaintances on our Site or on web sites that they visit or link to from our Site. It is very important that parents understand the features, uses and potential risks of using the Site. That's why we advise all guests to practice safe computing and urge parents to advise their children not to give out any personally identifiable information without their consent.
