Toybox Innovations Inc. – PRIVACY POLICY
Internet and E-mail Safety and Privacy Policy
Introduction
We want you to understand that we intend to protect you and your family as you use and explore the various features offered on our web site. We understand that you may have concerns about information that may be collected about you as you use our site. We strive to promote the online safety and privacy of our users. The following is a description of the policies we follow so that you can be better informed as you use our site.
Collection of information
Our website collects different kinds of information, in different circumstances, from its visitors.
1. Personal Information for Contests
We periodically run contests for our Toybox Club members.
A user can enter these contests through our website toyboxinnovations.com
If a user is under the age of fourteen (14) we require parental consent prior to the submission of a user’s personal information. On the online entry form, we ask for personal information such as your name, e-mail address and address. This personal information is collected, used and/or disclosed solely for the purpose of awarding contest prizes, tracking compliance with the official rules of a particular contest and for internal feedback purposes. Toybox Innovations only uses and discloses a contest winner’s name after receiving prior written consent from the winner (or their parent/guardian) and the appropriate release forms are fully completed by a parent/guardian and returned to toyboxinnovations.com.
All member and contest personal information received from our site visitors remains the exclusive property of Toybox Innovations inc. and is not sold or distributed to third parties. All such information is stored in a secure location and only accessible by Toybox innovation staff.
2. Online Polls and Surveys
Occasionally visitors are invited to voluntarily answer polls or survey questions. In these situations, only general (not personal) information such as gender, age and postal code/zip code is collected. The information collected ensures that those visitors who participate remain anonymous.
3. General Website Traffic
Toybox Innovations tracks the number of visits to our site. All information gathered in this way is generic, and we do not track any individual users from this.
4. Cookie Technology
Cookie technology is used on our site to maximize the site experience. No personal information is gathered from these cookies. They are set to expire one hour after logging in.
5. Email Identification
When a user sends an e-mail message to Toybox Innovations through our website, two pieces of information are automatically stamped on the message. These are the date and time that the message was sent, and the IP address it was sent from. This is a precautionary measure against any potentially threatening messages being sent to Toybox Innovations Inc., its staff or the public. This information is only used in those extreme cases where we feel someone’s safety may be at risk.
6. Membership
The Toybox Club is a club for kids. Therefore, there are certain laws that we are required to follow, including notifying parents or guardians when a child registers for certain activities or even seeking parental consent in some instances before we collect personal information from a child. We are committed to complying with these laws and protecting the privacy of our users. There are other important privacy measures we take such as never asking for more personal information than what we deem necessary – and storing what we do collect in a secure database only accessible by our internal staff.
Any personally identifiable information collected from our members is for Toybox Innovations Inc. purposes only. We will never sell or give any of this information to third parties. Sometimes we may share aggregated information collected from our polls or surveys; however, specific members are never identified.
7. E-mail Newsletters & Toybox Club Freebies
With Toybox Club Membership, users will have the option to receive e-mail Newsletters and other exclusive items delivered via e-mail. These will be sent out periodically. They can be cancelled at any time by following the simple steps outlined at the bottom of the Newsletter or Club email.
Caution – Links
Please keep in mind that this privacy policy applies to Toyboxinnovations.com only. Occasionally we may have links to other sites . Although we do our best to ensure that these third parties share our views about privacy protection and safety, we don’t have control over how they collect and use personal information from visitors. That’s why it is always a good idea to check out a site’s privacy policy – even if you’ve linked to it from the Toyboxinnovations.com site.
Conclusion
Our intent is to have a safe and enjoyable site. We review our privacy policy regularly and will update it whenever necessary. If there are ever changes made to the way we collect or use personal information, we will always inform our Club members.
