TheRichKids
.com
strives to offer its visitors the many advantages of
Internet technology and to provide an interactive
and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address,
street address, telephone number) subject to the
terms of this privacy policy. We will never sell,
barter, or rent your email address to any
unauthorized third party. Period.
How we
gather information from users
How we
collect and store information depends on the page
you are visiting, the activities in which you elect
to participate and the services provided. For
example, you may be asked to provide information
when you register for access to certain portions of
our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may
provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat
rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like
most Web sites, our company also collects
information automatically and through the use of
electronic tools that may be transparent to our
visitors. For example, we may log the name of your
Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology
to recognize you and hold information from your
visit. Among other things, the cookie may store your
user name and password, sparing you from having to
re-enter that information each time you visit, or
may control the number of times you encounter a
particular advertisement while visiting our site. As
we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain cases,
you can choose not to provide us with information,
for example by setting your browser to refuse to
accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to
access certain portions of the site or may be asked
to re-enter your user name and password, and we may
not be able to customize the site's features
according to your preferences.
What
we do with the information we collect
Like other
Web publishers, we collect information to enhance
your visit and deliver more individualized content
and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not
share your information with anyone.
Aggregated
Information (information that does not personally
identify you) may be used in many ways. For example,
we may combine information about your usage patterns
with similar information obtained from other users
to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to
learn which pages are visited most or what features
are most attractive). Aggregated Information may
occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners. Again, this information does not
include any Personally Identifiable Information
about you or allow anyone to identify you
individually.
We may use
Personally Identifiable Information collected on
TheRichKids.com
to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and
privacy policy; services and products offered by
TheRichKids.com
and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally
Identifiable Information collected by
TheRichKids.com
may also be used for other purposes, including but
not limited to site administration, troubleshooting,
processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and
other communications with you. Certain third parties
who provide technical support for the operation of
our site (our Web hosting service for example) may
access such information. We will use your
information only as permitted by law. In addition,
from time to time as we continue to develop our
business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with
other companies or businesses. In such transactions,
user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in
response to a court order, at other times when we
believe we are reasonably required to do so by law,
in connection with the collection of amounts you may
owe to us, and/or to law enforcement authorities
whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please
note we may not provide you with notice prior to
disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
TheRichKids.com expects
its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect
the privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that
third parties, including our partners, advertisers,
affiliates and other content providers accessible
through our site, may have their own privacy and
data collection policies and practices. For example,
during your visit to our site you may link to, or
view as part of a frame of content that is actually
created or hosted by a third party. Also, through
our company web sites you may be introduced to, or
be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties.
TheRichKids.com
is not responsible for the actions or policies of
such third parties. You should check the applicable
privacy policies of those third parties when
providing information on a feature or page operated
by a third party.
While on our
site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other
third parties may use cookies or other technology to
attempt to identify some of your preferences or
retrieve information about you. For example, some of
our advertising is served by third parties and may
include cookies that enable the advertiser to
determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Other features available on
our site may offer services operated by third
parties and may use cookies or other technology to
gather information.
TheRichKids.com
does not control the use of this technology by third
parties or the resulting information, and is not
responsible for any actions or policies of such
third parties.
You should
also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose
Personally Identifiable Information on message
boards or in chat areas, that information can be
viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result
in unsolicited messages from other individuals or
third parties. Such activities are beyond the
control of
TheRichKids.com and this
policy.
Children
TheRichKids.com does not
knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 18 except
as permitted by law. If we discover we have received
any information from a child under 18 in violation
of this policy, we will delete that information
immediately. If you believe
TheRichKids.com
has any information from or about anyone under 18,
please contact us using the link contact link below.
TheRichKids.com reserves
the right to change this policy at any time. Please
check this page periodically for changes. Your
continued use of our site following the posting of
changes to these terms will mean you accept those
changes. Information collected prior to the time any
change is posted will be used according to the rules
and laws that applied at the time the information
was collected.
Governing law
This policy
and the use of this Site are governed by the law. If
a dispute arises under this Policy we agree to first
try to resolve it with the help of a mutually
agreed-upon mediator. Any costs and fees other than
attorney fees associated with the mediation will be
shared equally by each of us.
If it proves
impossible to arrive at a mutually satisfactory
solution through mediation, we agree to submit the
dispute to binding arbitration. Judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in
any court with jurisdiction to do so.
This
statement and the policies outlined herein are not
intended to and do not create any contractual or
other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
