Privacy Policy
At ToneTeen.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy.
We firmly believe that electronic security and privacy are
necessary for the continued success of the Internet. In support
of this, we only use the personal information that you provide
to create a more personalized and entertaining experience
for you, in accordance with the terms outlined below.
KID'S POLICY
(individuals under 13 years of age)
ToneTeen is committed to protecting the safety of children
online. In compliance with the Children's Privacy Protection
Act of 1998, ToneTeen will never knowingly request or use
personal information from children under 13 years of age without
prior parental consent.
INFORMATION WE GATHER
Generally, the information we gather on our website
falls into two categories: (1) information you supply when
you sign up for our newsletter, participate in sweepstakes,
contests, surveys and promotions, or send us correspondence,
and (2) tracking information collected as you navigate through
our site. Third-party providers featured on or linked to our
website, such as vendors of products and services offered
through our site, may gather the same kinds of information
about you.
Personally Identifiable Information
We may ask you for personal information when you sign up for
our newsletter, complete a survey, or report a problem with
our site. Generally, we use this information to communicate
with you, process your orders and to help improve our site.
From time to time, we also may offer contests or other promotions
involving marketing or advertising partners. If you choose
to participate in one of these contests or promotions, you'll
have to provide some information about yourself (such as name,
address, and email address). Generally, we use this information
to verify eligibility and to notify winners. We may share
this information with co-sponsors of the contest or other
promotional partners, but we will always identify that another
party is involved. We don't control these third parties' privacy
practices, and our Privacy Policy does not apply to their
collection and use of personal information. We urge you to
review their privacy policies and learn how they will use
the information before participating. If you don't want us
to collect the information requested in the promotion, or
to provide it to our co-sponsors or partners, please do not
participate in the contest or promotion.
Aggregate Information
To help us serve your needs better, we use "cookies"
to store and sometimes track user information. A cookie is
a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a
web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie
contains a unique number that allows our site to identify
your computer. The help function on most browsers contains
information on how to set your browser to notify you before
accepting cookies or to disable cookies entirely. However,
if you don't accept cookies, you won't be able to take advantage
of various features on our site that are available to other
visitors. Occasionally, you may receive cookies from our advertisers.
ToneTeen.com does not control and is not responsible for these
cookies.
When you use our site, we may also collect your browser type,
access time, and/or Internet Protocol ("IP") address,
and keep records of this information. Your IP address is a
number that is used by computers connected to the Internet
to identify your computer so that data (such as the web pages
you request) can be sent to you. Your IP address does not
tell us who you are. Like the IP address, none of this other
information identifies you personally either; we collect it
for aggregate reporting on site activity that we, and our
advertisers, may use. For example, we may want to know how
long the average user spends on our site, which pages or features
get the most attention, and the like. The aggregate information
helps to understand our audience and confirm the value of
the advertising on our website.
How Your Information Will Be Used
We may disclose your personal information when we believe
disclosure is (i) required by law or necessary for compliance
with legal process, or necessary, in our good faith belief,
in order to conform with the edicts of the law or comply with
legal process; (ii) necessary to enforce our Terms of Use
or other agreements between you and us; (iii) necessary to
protect the rights, safety or interests of other visitors
of our site or other members of the public; and/or (iv) necessary
to protect the rights or interests of ToneTeen.com or its
partners, sponsors or affiliates. You acknowledge and agree
to disclosure in each of the foregoing circumstances.
SECURITY
The personally identifiable information we collect is securely
stored within our database, and we use standard, industry-wide
procedures such as encryption, firewalls and SSL (Secure Socket
Layers) for protecting your information. However, as effective
as encryption technology is, no security system is impenetrable.
We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can
we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted
while being transmitted to us over the Internet. And, of course,
any information you include in a message you post to any message
board, discussion group, or other public posting area on our
sites is available to anyone with Internet access. If you
don't want people to know your name or email address, for
example, make sure not to include it in any message you post
publicly.
MODIFICIATIONS
ToneTeen.com reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy.
If we need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the
future, we'll post the changes or an amended Privacy Policy.
Your continued use of the site or any of the services offered
therein following any such posting will constitute your acceptance
of all changes. In addition, by visiting any of our sites,
you agree that your visit, and any dispute over privacy, is
governed by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. Please
read both carefully before using or registering with our site.
