PRIVACY STATEMENT
OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY
Kidioms values you as a customer and respects your privacy. Our goal is to make your visits to our web sites fun, informative, convenient and secure. To accomplish this, we collect certain customer information that permits us to effectuate, customize and enhance your on-line shopping experience and to communicate with you about our products, services, promotions and contests. We are committed to managing this information responsibly and ensuring that you are in control of your personal information and the communications you receive from us.
WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS
This policy describes the customer information we collect and why; how we use this information and when we share it with third parties; the choices you can make about how your personal information is collected, used and shared; and the data security, accuracy and access measures we have adopted to protect customer information under our control from loss, misuse or alteration.
The policy applies solely to information collected by the Kidioms web site. It does not apply to the practices of people that Kidioms does not employ or companies that Kidioms does not own or operate.
Please be aware that our site may contains links to other sites hosted by third parties. Kidioms does not control and is thus not responsible for the content or privacy practices and policies of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Kidioms collects certain personally identifiable information when you access our web site, shop online, place an order, participate in a contest, promotion or survey, or request other services that require information, registration or subscription. This information may include, without limitation, your name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, credit card numbers, gender, occupation, and/or other personal information that you may disclose. We also keep a record of your product interests and purchases and automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser (including your IP address, cookie information, and the page you requested).
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
Kidioms uses customer information for three general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see on our sites; to fulfill your requests for certain products and services; and to contact you about new products or services, special events and promotions. We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Kidioms normally will not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information, but reserves the right to do so in order to identify a user when we feel this is necessary to enforce compliance with our internal policies or Terms of Use or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
Except as described below, Kidioms will not sell, share or rent your personally identifiable information to any third party.
Kidioms may send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people when: we have your consent to share such information; we need to share such information to notify contest winners or fulfill promotional obligations; we need to share such information with companies that work on behalf of or are utilized by Kidioms or are affiliates, licensees or franchisees of Kidioms, in order for them to provide a product or service you have requested; we respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process; or we find that your actions on our web site violate the Kidioms Terms of Use or any of our usage guidelines for specific products or services.
Kidioms may also share aggregate demographic information (such as personal information you disclose to use and types of products or services purchased) with our business partners, licensees, franchisees, advertisers, and other third parties. Such information does not identify any individual person. This information sharing permits us to customize our on-line content, services and advertising to enrich your experience at our site.
HOW YOU CAN ACCESS, CHANGE OR DELETE YOUR INFORMATION
You may, at any time, verify, correct, update or remove your personal information and preferences by contacting our Customer Support Team by e-mail at info@kidioms.com. In addition, if you prefer not to receive information from us, either through e-mail, postal mail or phone, please let us know by sending us an e-mail or writing to us at Kidioms, 453 Washington Street, Gloucester, MA 01930, Attention: Web Management Team. Please note that it may take up to two weeks from receipt of your request for your request to become effective. Thereafter, when you make purchases, we may still send you an e-mail confirmation and may need to contact you by phone, postal mail or e-mail if we have questions regarding your order.
HOW WE PROTECT KIDS' PRIVACY
Kidioms is concerned about the safety and security of children when they use the Internet. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.
ABOUT "COOKIES"
A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies permit us to record session information, such as items that consumers add to their shopping cart, and to track and target the interests of our users in order to enhance their experience on our web site. Kidioms never saves passwords or credit card information in cookies.
Advertisers or other companies do not have access to cookies originating from the Kidioms web site. Kidioms may allow business partners that are presenting advertisements on some of our pages to set and access their cookies on your computer. In such cases, however, Kidioms has no access to or control over such cookies.
DATA & CREDIT CARD SECURITY
Kidioms takes the security of your private information very seriously. As a result, we do not accept orders by e-mail. We will gladly accept your orders on-line. When you submit sensitive information via this website, such as a credit card number, that information is encrypted and protected by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology.
If at any time you believe the security of your account information has been compromised, please notify Kidioms immediately and contact the Kidioms Customer Service Team at the e-mail address above. Should you discover an unauthorized use of your credit or debit card, you should notify your card provider immediately in accordance with the terms of your agreement with that company.
CHANGES TO POLICY
Kidioms reserves the right to change, modify or amend this policy from time to time. If we make any significant changes to this policy, we will post those changes here. Kidioms encourages you to periodically review this policy to be informed of how we collect, use and protect your information.
