Why Should I Read This Notice?
We want you to understand how we collect and use information from
visitors on our website. This notice explains what kind of information
we collect, how we use it, and when we may disclose it to others.
If you give us permission to collect or use personally identifiable
information from your child and we make any material changes in
how we plan to use that information, we will notify you of this
change and require that you give us permission for these new uses.
What is Personally Identifiable Information?
"
Personally identifiable information" is information that identifies
a person or allows a person to be located. Examples of personally
identifiable information include a name, a home address, an e-mail
address, a telephone number, or a Social Security number.
When Do We Collect Personally Identifiable Information
from Your Child?
We collect personally identifiable information from your child
when your child registers on our website.
Whenever our website collects personally identifiable information about your child, the page contains a reminder that children must have their parents' permission in connection with providing an answer to any questions asked on the page.
On our home page and on other pages on our website, your child can click on a link to register on our website. This registration is not required to visit our website.
In our Mail Room, your child can send us an e-mail with his or her comments on topics we have selected. We may post your child's answer to a question, but if we do, we first remove any information that would personally identify your child. For example, we may list a response from "Brooke," but we will NOT include her last name or e-mail address.
When your child wants to buy a product offered on our website, we also collect the personally identifiable information necessary for the transaction such as name, address, and credit card information through a VeriSign secured site.
In other places on our website, we may ask you to provide information to us to review products, participate in contests, join our official online Fan Club, subscribe to our eNewsletter, etc .
What Kind of Information Do We Collect from Your
Child?
The personally identifiable information we request from your child
may include name, postal and e-mail address, age, gender, number
of siblings, favorite games, fashion/accessory preferences, reading
preferences, and other information including, without limitation,
information about your child's favorite celebrities, movies, songs
and hobbies.
In addition, if your child elects to purchase products online, we request credit card information to process the order. Using credit cards on our website is safe through VeriSign’s SSL security encryption program on our site and secured through VeriSign’s payment processing services.
We also may collect other information your child sends us by e-mail to our Mail Room, such as your child's comments on topics we have selected.
What Do We Do With the Personally Identifiable
Information We Collect?
We gather, store and archive the information we collect from our
website.
We may use the personally identifiable information we collect from your child for various purposes including: marketing and research analysis; product service and development; promotion and advertising; fulfillment of a requested transaction (i.e. sale of a product, delivery of a catalog); record keeping; marketing back to your child; and billing and customizing the website to individual visitors. We also may use the information to develop an individual profile of your child, or a profile of certain groups of visitors to our website or for contacting your child about our products, promotions, surveys, or new developments or events. If you do not want your child to be contacted about these products and promotions, you can let us know at any time. See the "Can You Delete or Update Personally Identifiable Information?" section below.
Do We Disclose Personally Identifiable Information
About Your Child?
If you give us your permission, we may disclose information we
collect about your child to other third party companies by way
of sale, lease or rental agreement. The types of businesses in
which such third parties are engaged include the following: manufacturing
and retailing of toys, movie video and music products (CDs, tapes,
cassettes, DVD discs, etc.), clothing, games, video games and equipment;
magazine publishing and retailing; market analysis and development;
and advertising.
Of course, online purchases require us to disclose necessary payment information to payment processors. We also may use third parties to send you the products you purchase, in which case we would provide them with your name, address, and other information necessary to complete your order.
Agreements with third parties will provide that such third parties will not use or disclose the information for purposes other than those purposes contracted for, and will also require the third parties to maintain the confidentiality, security and integrity of such information.
Disclosure Without Consent.
In certain limited circumstance, we may collect and disclose personally
identifiable information from your child without first obtaining
your consent. These circumstances are described as follows:
It will be necessary for us to collect your child's name and online contact information, and the name and online contact information of the child's parent, in order to provide the parent with notice of our information practices and to seek the parent's consent for the collection and/or disclosure of information about the child. Should any child's parent not respond within ninety days thereafter, then we will delete that child's and his/her parent's information at that time.
We may collect your child's name and online contact information in order to respond on a one-time basis to a specific request from your child (i.e. upon request from the child, we may e-mail to the child information about our website). After responding the child's name and information will be deleted. Any unsolicited email received will first be screened to determine if he/she is a prior registrant under this policy; if not a message will be sent back to the sender that advises that we will not respond until the sender is properly registered on www.savvymusic.biz according to this policy.
We may collect your child's and parent's name and online contact information in order to respond directly more than once to a specific request of the child (i.e. to provide an online magazine subscription, or a contest entry and subsequent award), but in these cases the child must first be registered with us on www.savvymusic.biz, as required under this policy before we will respond.
Under certain circumstances we may collect and/or disclose information as is necessary to protect the safety of a child participating in our website, or to comply with law or legal process, or to protect the security and integrity of our website.
You have the option to agree to let us collect your child's personally identifiable information for activities on our website, but to not allow us to disclose the information to third parties. To prevent disclosure to third parties, please check the appropriate box in our parental consent form.

cookies for various purposes. For example, our website uses cookies
to track and direct visitors from different countries, such as
Europe, Canada, United States and Australia, to content on our
website that is most relevant to them. We also use cookies to
track website visits in general. This helps us to determine how
many visitors there are to our website, how often they visit,
and what content interests them the most. We are then able to
enhance your experience of our website by making appropriate
updates to the content and navigation of the website. A cookie

that is most relevant to you.
Special Information About Chat Rooms
If your child wishes to participate in a chat room on our website,
we will not require specific consent from you for that purpose.
Prior parental consent is not required in this instance because
we will not ask for any personally identifiable information from
chat room participants even though from time to time we may select
particular chat exchanges for posting: However, we may choose
to allow only registered visitors to participate in a chat. If
this is the case and your child is under 13, your consent will
be required before registration and participation are allowed.
Will This Policy Change?
We reserve the right to change this policy at any time, and will
do so by providing notice of such changes on our home page and
make changes in our online forms requesting personally identifiable
information. If we make any material changes in the way we use
or disclose information about your child, we will notify you
with an email message to you and your child. If you do not wish
us to use your child's information then please go to remove@www.savvymusic.biz
and ask us to delete or update any information at that time.
