disclose that information.

any information at our website. There is no fine print; and the
language used is intentionally layman for ease of understanding.

all terms of this Policy, so please make sure that you agree with
this policy before using the website and submitting any information.
Do not use this website if you disagree with any part of this Policy.
What personal information do we collect and why do we collect
it?
The Company may collect personal information about you (such as
your name, postal address, telephone number and email address) that
you provide voluntarily. You ordinarily are not required to register
or provide personal information in order to access our website,
although certain websites and sections of our websites may require
registration. In addition, if you choose to contact us to ask a
question we will collect your personal information so that we can
respond to your question.
The Company may collect personal information online for all legal
purposes, which include, but are not limited to:
Games, Contests and Promotions. The Company may
offer games, contests and other promotional activities that may
require online registration. Persons wishing to participate in those
activities are asked to provide certain personal information. Some
of the information requested for this purpose is optional, but other
information, such as email address, is mandatory because it will
be needed to notify and identify winners. Also, some activities
may require the selection of a user ID and password by the participating
individual.
Contact Us and Comment Features. The Company encourages
visitors to its website to contact us with questions and comments.
Email addresses and other information of persons using these features
may be collected in order to facilitate our responses to those inquiries.

to purchase branded merchandise online. In connection with those
purchases, customers may be asked to submit personal information,
such as shipping addresses and credit card information that is required
to complete the transaction. The Company also may offer a membership
or subscription program, through which purchasers of its products
may receive discounts on their online purchases. Membership or subscription
registration may involve the submission of personal information
to the Company and assignment of a user ID and password.
Credit card data and registration information is protected by Secure
Sockets Layer ("SSL") or other encryption mechanisms upon transmission.
Special Promotions and Product Information. The
Company also may offer you the opportunity to provide you with email
updates and announcements concerning our products and special promotions.
Personal information you have provided to the Company may be used
to facilitate those communications.
When do we disclose the personal information we collect?
Except as provided herein, the Company will not sell or rent personal
information about you to unaffiliated third parties.
We may disclose personal information you have provided through our
websites to persons or companies that we retain to carry out promotions
and other activities for which you have registered or in which you
have otherwise asked to participate. We also will disclose personal
information if required by law, including compliance with warrants,
subpoenas or other legal process.
The Company requires persons and companies to which it discloses
personal information to restrict their use of such information to
the purposes for which it has been provided by the Company and not
to disclose that information to others. The Company cannot be responsible,
however, for any damages caused by the failure of unaffiliated third
parties to honor their privacy obligations to the Company. Similarly,
the Company is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices
of other websites that are linked to our websites.
In addition to these limited disclosures of personal information,
the Company may provide its affiliates or unaffiliated third parties
with aggregate information about visitors to our sites. For example,
we might disclose the median ages of visitors to our websites, or
the numbers of visitors to our websites that come from different
geographic areas. Such aggregate information will not include information
of any individual visitors to our websites.
The Company may provide personal and other information to a purchaser
or successor entity in connection with the sale of the Company,
a subsidiary or line of business associated with the Company, or
substantially all of the assets of the Company or one of its subsidiaries,
affiliates or lines of business.
Special Note for Parents
The Company takes seriously its obligations under the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act concerning the collection of personal
information from children under the age of thirteen (13). Where
appropriate, the Company will specifically instruct children not
to submit personal information to our websites and/or will take
reasonable steps to ensure that we obtain parental consent to such
submission.
Parents should be aware that information that is voluntarily given
by children or others in chat sessions, email exchanges, bulletin
boards or the like may be used by other parties to generate unsolicited
email or other contacts. The Company encourages all parents to instruct
their children in the safe and responsible use of the Internet.
How do we protect your personal information?
The Company takes measures to prevent unauthorized intrusion to
its websites and the alteration, acquisition or misuse of personal
information by unauthorized persons. Notably, user IDs, passwords
and credit card information submitted by users of our websites are
encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") or other encryption
mechanisms. However, the Company cautions visitors to its websites
that no network, including the Internet, is entirely secure. Accordingly,
we cannot be responsible for loss, corruption or unauthorized acquisition
of personal information provided to our websites, or for any damages
resulting from such loss, corruption or unauthorized acquisition.

include the type of Internet browser and operating system you are
using, the pages and information you accessed on our site, the total
time spent on our site, and the domain name of the website from
which you linked to our site. Also, where you have previously identified
yourself in the registration process as affiliated with a particular
business or organization, we may record the fact that a representative
of your business or organization visited the site, along with other
clickstream data concerning that visit. Clickstream data will not
be used to identify you personally and will not be associated or
correlated with any site visitor in a personally-identifiable manner.
