Your Online Privacy and Kidsign
Protecting your
privacy is important to KidSign. We hope the following policy will help you
understand how KidSign collects, uses, and safeguards the personal information
you provide on our website.
Information Collection
If you browse KidSign's
website, you do so anonymously. We don't collect personal information - including
your email address. We do log your IP address (the Internet address of your
computer) to give us an idea of which parts of our website you visit and how
long you spend there. But we do not link your IP address to anything personally
identifiable.
The only other information automatically provided to us is the type of computer
and operating system you are using. Your browser supplies us with this information.
In some of our customer email communication, we use a device called a "click-through
URL." When you click on one of these URLs, you pass through our system
before arriving at the website that is your true destination. KidSign uses click-throughs
to determine the level of interest in particular topics and to measure the effectiveness
of our communications. We do not share this data with anyone, and we make no
attempt to match click-throughs to particular email addresses.
At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information,
such as your email address and postal address, for purposes such as corresponding
with us, registering at a site, making a purchase, entering a sweepstakes, registering
a new product, or participating in an online survey. When you register a product
with KidSign, for example, we collect the serial number and your name, address,
and email address. We use the personal information you provide to create a personal
ID, called KidSign ID. (KidSign ID is currently available for customers in the
US and Canada but will soon be available for KidSign customers worldwide.) Your
KidSign ID gives you easy access to KidSign services including product registration
and the KidSign Store(when available). Here's how it works. Using a unique identifier
(your current email address and a password for security), you fill out your
KidSign profile with information you feel comfortable sharing with us, such
as your name and telephone number. Once you enter your information, your KidSign
ID saves you time when you order something from the KidSign Store or register
a new product. You simply enter your KidSign ID and password, and the system
looks up the information it needs. Information Use If you provide us with your
email or postal address, or have done so in the past, we will ask you if we
can use it to send you updates on the latest KidSign products and promotions.
We also ask if you want us to share your personal information with other companies
that offer related services. If you do not want us or other companies to contact
you, you can choose to "opt out," and KidSign will respect your wishes.
When you supply KidSign with your personal information, we may use it to register
your product, configure your system, or assist you with connecting to the Internet.
We may use information that you have given us to learn more about our customers
so that we can develop better products and services. We may also use the information
to inform you about new products, services, and offers that may be of interest
to you.
These offers may be based on information you provided in your initial transaction
with us or in surveys. Because KidSign operates globally, we make company information
available to our worldwide business units. As part of this process, the personal
information that you have provided to us may be sent to other KidSign business
units around the world. However, we do not share your profile with anyone else
outside of KidSign without your consent, and no one else can access your information.
Using your KidSign ID (in countries where available) and password, you can easily
view and edit your personal information and preferences at any time.
Declining Email Offers
KidSign provides customers with an easy means to decline to receive email offers.
Although most customers tell us they appreciate receiving notice of these opportunities,
we recognize the importance of providing you with choices. At any time, you
may request to discontinue receiving these offers from us by simply replying
to the email and informing us of your preferences. All email offers that you
receive from KidSign will tell you how to decline further email offers.
Children
KidSign encourages
parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate
in the interactive activities offered on the sites their children visit. Data
Security KidSign is fully committed to data security. To prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information,
we have put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard
and secure the information you provide to us online. However, while we strive
to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of the information
you transmit to us. In this regard, we urge you to take every precaution to
protect your personal data while you are on the Internet. At a minimum, we encourage
you to change your passwords often, using a combination of letters and numbers,
and make sure that you are using a secure browser as you surf the Internet.
Company Commitment to Privacy
KidSign is actively involved in current industry initiativesÑsuch as the Online
Privacy Alliance (www.privacyalliance.org)Ñto
preserve individual privacy rights on the Internet and in all aspects of electronic
commerce. If you have a question specific to privacy, please contact us at help@KidSign.com.
KidSign's privacy policy is subject to change at any time and without notice.
