PRIVACY POLICY
Welcome to The Family Entertainment Catalog website (this "Site"), which is owned
and operated by The Family Entertainment Catalog, LLC ("TFEC" or "we" or "us").
TFEC understands the importance of our customers’ privacy. We are committed to protecting
your privacy and keeping your experience at TFEC secure, enjoyable, efficient and
easy. We have provided this disclosure (this "Privacy Policy") so that you will
know what personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") is collected
through this Site and how we use, share and protect such information, and what choices
you have about how the information is used. For purposes of this Privacy Policy,
Personal Information means information that identifies a particular individual,
such as name, mailing address, telephone number or e-mail address. When other information,
such as product purchases or product preferences, is directly associated with your
personally identifiable information, this other information also becomes Personal
Information.
Your Consent.
Please carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using this Site, you are consenting
to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as set forth
in this Privacy Policy, and agree to be bound by all disclaimers and terms and conditions
that are contained in this Privacy Policy or that appear elsewhere on this Site.
If you do not consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use this
Site. If you are dissatisfied with this Privacy Policy, you agree that your sole
and exclusive remedy is to discontinue using this Site.
What Information Is Collected Through This Site and How Is It Used?
There are many features on this Site for which no registration is required. When
you access and use this Site, however, there are generally three ways we may collect
information about you:
1. Information You Knowingly and Voluntarily Provide.
Use of Your Personal Information. TFEC collects the information you knowingly
and voluntarily provide when you use this Site, for example, the information you
provide when participating in certain activities on this Site such as making an
online purchase, setting up or maintaining an account, subscribing to one of our
newsletters, participating in one of our surveys or certain incentives,
or when you ask us a question or send us feedback. In many cases, this information
will include your e-mail address and other personally identifiable information.
TFEC only uses your Personal Information for the purposes for which you provide
it (e.g., to confirm and fulfill your orders). For example, if you order a product
or service from TFEC, we ask for your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone
number and credit card number (TFEC uses credit card numbers and other payment information
submitted through this Site for payment purposes only, and utilizes industry standard
secure encryption technology to reasonably assure the privacy and security of the
payment information of anyone who places online orders with us). If you are ordering
a product or service as a gift for another person, we will ask you for that person’s
name, postal address and telephone number in order to enable us to deliver the gift
to the recipient. If you participate in an activity such as a survey, we may ask
you to provide other types of information such as gender or personal interests,
which we may associate with your Personal Information.
Additional Permitted Uses. As permitted under applicable law, we may use
the information we collect through this Site for various other business purposes
such as customer service, fraud prevention, market research, improving our products
and services, and to contact you with information and offers we believe may be of
interest to you, and we may combine your Personal Information with other information
that is publicly available or that we receive from other reputable sources. In addition,
we may remove all the personally identifiable information and combine such data
with other aggregated data compiled by TFEC for historical, research or statistical
purposes. Since such anonymous aggregated data does not include Personal Information
from which the identity of an individual can be determined, TFEC reserves the right
to use aggregated data in any way it considers appropriate.
E-Mail Addresses. TFEC collects e-mail address information from you when
you enter your e-mail address on this Site to order a product or service, subscribe
to one of our newsletters, set up or maintain an account or participate
in one of our surveys. TFEC collects and maintains e-mail address information from
you so that we may confirm and/or deliver your purchase; communicate with you regarding
your order or registration; set up or maintain your account; and alert you to other
TFEC products and services that may be of interest to you. If you send us an e-mail
message, we may retain that message and your e-mail address, as well as any response
we send to you.
Opting Out. You may receive promotional e-mails from TFEC, and receiving
promotional communications from TFEC is optional. You will be given the opportunity
to "opt out" or stop receiving such e-mails at any time. If you do not want to receive
such communications, to opt out simply send an e-mail to
info@thefamilycatalog.com and include "Remove" in the reply or subject line,
or write to us at the address provided below. Please include your name and e-mail
address so that we can identify your e-mail address in our database and process
your request. Because we plan our communications in advance, it may take several
weeks for your request to become effective. If you continue to receive our communications,
please contact us again and we will make every effort to correct the situation,
and we appreciate your patience in giving us time to carry out your request.
2. Information Provided to TFEC via Your Web Browser.
Site-Visitation Data. As is true of most websites, in addition to information
you choose to provide to TFEC, we also gather certain non-personally identifiable
information automatically through technology to make our Site more interesting and
useful to you. For instance, when you come to our Site, we collect the Internet
Protocol (IP) address of your Internet service provider (ISP), the name of your
operating system (such as Windows® or Macintosh®); the name and version of your
browser (such as Netscape® or Internet Explorer®); and the Internet address of the
website from which you linked directly to our Site. The information we receive depends
on the settings on your web browser. Please check your browser if you want to learn
what information your browser sends or how to change your settings.
Personalized Content. This type of information does not identify you personally.
We use this information to create statistics that help us improve our Site and make
it more compatible with the technology used by our Internet visitors. If you access
this Site through an e-mail we have sent you or have created a "user identity" by
logging on during one of your visits, this information will not be linked to information
that identifies you personally without your approval. With your approval, we will
combine Site-visitation data with the Personal Information that you have provided
to us and/or with other information that is publicly available or that we receive
from other reputable sources in order to make our Site and communications more targeted
to your interests.
3. Information Collected by Placing "Cookies" On Your Computer.
Our Site Utilizes Cookies. TFEC may obtain information about you and your
visit to this site by installing "tags" or small text files on your computer’s hard
drive via a Web page server. These commonly used tags are known as "cookies," and
allow websites to remember information about visitors. We use cookies for a variety
of purposes, including to provide you continuity from page to page, to recognize
your browser when you return after your first visit, to personalize your return
visit and to save you time during certain activities (e.g., such as checking out
from our on-line store), and to enhance overall the quality of our Site. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer, and are uniquely
assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued
the cookie to you. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most cookies
do not expire when you close your browser and they stay on your computer until you
delete them. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to
reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although
you are not required to accept cookies when you visit this Site, you may be unable
to use all of the functionality of this Site if your browser rejects our cookies.
For example, if your browser does not accept cookies from this Site, you may not
be able to log in to your account, retain a shopping cart or make an online purchase.
Does TFEC Share Personal Information With Others?
We take very seriously our responsibility to maintain your privacy with respect
to your Personal Information. TFEC does not sell, trade or rent your Personal Information
to others (e.g., mailing list brokers). TFEC may share your Personal Information
with its affiliates and companies we hire to perform support services for us, such
as web hosting, credit card processing and order fulfillment. In addition, there
may be some other, limited circumstances in which we may share or transfer Personal
Information to third parties. For example, we may provide personal information to
a third party: (i) to comply with a legal requirement or court order; (ii) to investigate
a possible crime, such as identity theft; (iii) to protect the security of our Site
and the integrity of our databases; or (iv) in connection with a corporate transaction,
such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, asset sale or similar event. Where
appropriate, before disclosing Personal Information to a third party, TFEC will
contractually require the third party to take reasonable precautions to protect
such information against unauthorized use or disclosure.
Security of Personal Information.
TFEC is committed to protecting the security of your Personal Information. We use
a variety of security technologies to help protect the Personal Information you
provide to us against any unauthorized disclosure, misuse, loss or alteration. Although
we make every reasonable effort to protect Personal Information, no method of transmitting
or storing electronic data is ever completely secure, and we therefore cannot guarantee
that such information will never be accessed, used or released in a manner inconsistent
with this policy. We also cannot guarantee the security of systems that are connected
to the Internet or the security of information transmitted over the Internet. TFEC
employees are made aware of this Privacy Policy, and we limit access to Personal
Information only to those employees with a specific need to retrieve such information.
Links to Other Web Sites.
We may provide links on our Site to other websites we think you will enjoy or find
useful. This Privacy Policy applies only to this Site, and links to other third
party websites operate independently of TFEC. These links are provided as a service
and a convenience to you and do not imply any endorsement of the activities of these
third party websites, or any association with their operators. TFEC does not control
these websites and is not responsible for their data practices or the content of
such websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policy posted on
any website you visit before using the website or providing any personally identifiable
information about yourself.
Children’s Privacy.
The Children’s Online Privacy Act imposes certain restrictions on websites directed
toward children under the age of 13 and that knowingly collect information on children
under 13. We do NOT knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under
13. No one under the age of 18 should submit any Personal Information to this Site
or any other website without the consent of a parent or guardian.
