We know your privacy on the Internet is important to you and we want you to
know it is also important to us. By accessing a Spirit Shop Web site, we gather
certain types of information about users. Spirit Shop's Privacy Policy (Privacy
Policy) explains the types of information we gather, what we do with it and how
you may edit or opt-out from information that Spirit Shop may collect.
INFORMATION COLLECTED BY SPIRIT SHOP INC.
Spirit Shop collects two types of information about users: personal information
(such as name and e-mail address) and aggregate information (such as
information about how many users access our sites on a daily basis).
PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information is collected when users voluntarily opt-in to request
and/or purchase items, receive electronic newsletters, use community and
communication services, answer surveys, enter contests and participate in other
promotional opportunities provided on Spirit Shop Web sites. We may receive
personal usage and demographic information from our affiliates and from third
parties, and if you communicate to us by e-mail, we will record the e-mail
address from which you send your message.
AGGREGATE INFORMATION
One method of collecting aggregate information about your activities online
(such as the pages you access most frequently or the search terms you enter),
and information volunteered by you (such as survey or registration
information), is by tracking Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is
a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the
Web. The computers that deliver the Web pages to you automatically identify
your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from our site, our
servers log (or record) your IP address.
When you visit this site, we automatically record the name of the domain from
which you accessed the site and the type of client computer and type of Web
browser that you use. If you got to a Spirit Shop Web site by means of a link
from another site, our computers will note the fact that you came to us from
that linked site.
USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED BY SPIRIT SHOP INC.
The information collected by Spirit Shop may be used to send you information
about our products, services, contests and special promotions being run by
Spirit Shop. We may also use this information to make offers to you and to help
us further develop Spirit Shop Web sites and/or proactively tailor our sites to
your interests.
SHARING DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES
Spirit Shop may share aggregate information with third parties for advertising
and promotional purposes. Spirit Shop may also share personal information with
consultants and affiliates for internal business purposes and may divulge
personal information if such information is subpoenaed, or if Spirit Shop
believes that membership has been used to commit unlawful acts, or acts that
may endanger the health or safety of another user or of the general public. We
will always request permission to share personal information with our
consultants and affiliates. In addition, Spirit Shop receives personal usage
and demographic information from its affiliates and from third parties and uses
this information to improve our products and services.
USE OF COOKIES
Spirit Shop may use "cookies" to record information. A cookie is a small data
file that Web sites store on your hard drive when you visit them. Cookies allow
us to measure activity on our site and to improve user experience by
remembering your passwords and viewing preferences. Cookies allow us to
determine which areas and features of our site are most popular by measuring
user activity. This information allows us to make improvements and updates to
improve your Spirit Shop experience. Spirit Shop does not use cookies to
retrieve any information from your computer.
Your Web browser should allow you to accept all cookies, reject all cookies or
warn you before it accepts a cookie, so that you can decide whether to accept
or reject a cookie generated by a visit to our site. If you prefer, you may set
your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.
However, some parts of our site (i.e. shopping, contest and game areas) may not
function properly if you choose not to accept cookies. If you are concerned
that you might have created a cookie in a previous visit, you can view whatever
cookies are already stored on your hard drive by accessing your computer's
cookie file. In Windows 95 or higher, click on "Start" and then "Find" and type
in "Cookies". If you see a cookie from us or anyone else that you are not
comfortable with, you can delete it by clicking on that icon and hitting your
"Delete" key.
ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTERS
Spirit Shop may offer free, electronic newsletters as a service to our users.
You will only receive a newsletter if you agree to receive it during
registration, an opt-in question or directly from our newsletter sign-up form.
INFORMATION REMOVAL
If you prefer not to receive information from us, please let us know by sending
us an e-mail at unsubscribe@spiritshop.com. Please be sure to include your
name, e-mail address, any desired message and be certain to reference
UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line of your e-mail message. We will attempt to
facilitate your request as quickly as possible but caution you that such
requests may take up to six to eight weeks to become effective.
POLICIES FOR INDIVIDUALS UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE
Spirit Shop is committed to complying fully with the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act. Accordingly, if you are under the age of 13, you are not
authorized to provide us with personally identifying information, and we will
not use any such information in our database or other data collection
activities. We appreciate your cooperation with this federally mandated
requirement.
Spirit Shop encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children
online, and to be familiar with the sites their children visit. At various
places on our site, we may ask the age of our visitors. Spirit Shop relies on
our users to be truthful in responding to these questions.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Spirit Shop may contain links to sites other than our own. Those sites may not
follow the same privacy policies as Spirit Shop. We have no responsibility for
those sites and provide these links solely for the convenience of our visitors.
Such links may be to advertisers, content providers or partners who may use our
logo and/or style as a result of a co-branding agreement. These sites may send
their own cookies to you, and may collect information and use it in a way
inconsistent with Spirit Shop's privacy policy. Spirit Shop does not control
the content that appears on these sites and takes no responsibility for their
content, nor should it be implied that Spirit Shop endorses or otherwise
recommends such sites or their products or services offered.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure.
It may be possible for third parties not under the control of Spirit Shop to
intercept or access transmissions or private communications unlawfully. While
we strive to protect your personal information, Spirit Shop cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. Any such
transmission is done at your own risk.
Under no circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, shall Spirit
Shop be liable for any special, incidental or consequential damages that result
from the use of the information or materials on Spirit Shop Web sites, even if
Spirit Shop or an authorized representative Spirit Shop has been advised of the
possibility of such damages.
Spirit Shop reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time
USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT TO COMPLY WITH
THE ENTIRE PRIVACY POLICY.
