Restyn.com's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of
our users. This policy's statement tells you how we collect information
from you and how we use it. Using the internet should be a fun
and positive experience and we want to help you enjoy it.
This Privacy Policy consists of two sections. Section I describes
Restyn's policies that apply to the collection, use and disclosure
of personal information furnished to us by visitors to our Site
who are age 13 and over. Section II describes the special additional
policies Restyn applies to the collection, use and disclosure
of personal information about visitors to our Site who are under
age 13. Parents should read both Sections to obtain a full understanding
of Restyn's privacy policies and practices.
I. COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION BY RESTYN:
POLICIES THAT APPLY TO INDIVIDUALS AGE 13 AND OVER
General. Personally identifiable information about visitors to
this Site (that is, information such as a visitor's name, email
address, mailing address, or telephone number) is collected only
when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. Such information may
be requested in connection with our sweepstakes, contests, games,
surveys, forums, subscription registrations, content submissions,
chats, bulletin boards, guestbooks, requests for suggestions,
visitors' requests for products or services, and visitors' requests
for additional information. Restyn does not require a visitor
to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate
in the online activity he or she is interested in.
Joint Collection of Personal Information. Sometimes Restyn collects
personal information jointly with business partners or sponsors.
The identity of the entities collecting personal information will
be clear at the time your personal information is collected.
WHAT RESTYN DOES (AND DOESN'T DO) WITH THE PERSONAL INFORMATION
WE COLLECT
General. Restyn uses personally identifiable information only
for the purpose for which it is submitted unless we disclose other
uses at the time of collection, in which case you will have the
opportunity to instruct us not to use your data in other ways
(i.e., "opt-out").
Sharing Personal Information. Restyn may share personally identifiable
information with our affiliates or with some of our business partners
who would like to send you information about their products or
services. However, when we collect your information you will have
the opportunity to instruct us not to share your information in
these ways (i.e., opt-out").
LINKS/CO-BRANDED SITES
Restyn has established relationships with advertisers and reputable
business partners that allow visitors to our Site to link directly
to sites operated by these partners. Some of these sites, may
be "co-branded" with a Restyn logo; however, they are not operated
or maintained by Restyn. These sites may collect personal information
from you. This Privacy Policy will apply to any personal information
we obtain in this manner from our partners.
Restyn chooses its advertisers and business partners carefully.
However, Restyn is not responsible for the content or practices
of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our
Site. These links are meant for the user's convenience only. Links
to third party sites do not constitute sponsorship, endorsement
or approval by Restyn of the content, policies or practices of
such third party sites. We are not responsible for any information
these sites may obtain and do not oversee their policies or practices
in collecting personal information. Therefore, once you have left
this Site via such a link, you should check the applicable privacy
policy of the third party site.
This Site may also be linked to web sites operated by companies
affiliated with Restyn. Restyn may share information collected
by these affiliated companies; however, this Privacy Policy will
apply to any personal information we receive in this manner. Visitors
to our affiliated sites should still refer to their separate privacy
policies and practices when providing any personally identifiable
information.
NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
When visitors come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information
indicating, among other things, which web pages were visited,
the order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks, if
any, were "clicked" by the visitor. Restyn, like most major web
sites, collects such information by placing small bits of information,
known as "cookies", on the hard drive of your computer to log
IP addresses, operating system (e.g., Windows or Macintosh), type
of browser software (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer),
and Internet service providers (e.g., AOL or NET.COM) used by
each visitor to the Site.
Cookies enable us to do a number of things to make your visit
and future visits to the site more enjoyable. For example, cookies
allow a visitor to quickly log on to a site he/she has used before
by storing a password. By tracking how many people visit our Site
and where they go, we are able to determine which part of the
Site users like the best, which part needs some improvement and
what changes should be made. By obtaining this information, we
are able to continually improve our Site and bring you the best
online experience possible.
Although the cookie itself does not collect any personally identifiable
information about a visitor, and Restyn does not use cookies in
order to obtain such information, the cookie can be used to determine
the IP address of the visitor's Internet Service Provider and
the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity to
the Internet. Restyn may also disclose some of the non-personally
identifiable information we obtain to advertisers to inform them
how many people have seen or linked to their advertisements on
our Site. However, we do not disclose personally identifiable
information to these advertisers. Visitors may also receive cookies
from third parties, but Restyn cannot control the content of these
cookies.
Restyn does not save credit card information in a cookie.
You should consult your browser owner's manual for instructions
on how to refuse cookies.
REVIEWING AND MAKING CHANGES TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Visitors may review or delete personal information from our records
at any time. If you would like to know the types of personal information
Restyn collects from visitors to the Site, please contact us using
the information on our contact page (click
here) or write to us at Restyn, LLC Attn: Internet Site, 1810
A York Rd, PMB 115, Lutherville, MD 21093. If you would like to
know whether we have collected personal information about you,
please provide us with the activities that you participated in
on the Site, which requested personal information. After we have
reviewed the relevant databases, we will confirm whether we have
collected such information about you. Prior to changing or deleting
such information, we require that you provide us with proof of
your name and address, such as a valid driver's license. Once
we have received such proof and determined that it is satisfactory,
we will immediately delete or modify your information in our database
and refrain from collecting any other personally identifiable
information from you, if you so request. However, there may be
residual information that will remain within our databases that
may or may not contain personally identifiable information. This
residual information will not be given to any other third party
or used for any commercial purpose.
SECURITY AND INTEGRITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Restyn has established and maintains reasonable procedures to
protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of personal
information collected by this Site.
II. KIDS AND INTERNET SAFETY: ADDITIONAL POLICIES THAT APPLY
TO CHILDREN UNDER 13
We at Restyn understand that the Internet presents an opportunity
for us to reach the public in new and exciting ways with information
about our programming, fun games, exciting sweepstakes and contests,
email, chat rooms, bulletin boards, and other forms of interactivity.
Restyn also recognizes the privacy concerns of parents, and the
importance of protecting the privacy of the information this Site
collects from children. Parents of children who visit this Site
can be confident that any personal information that may be provided
to this Site will be collected and maintained in accordance with
the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). Restyn
encourages parents to supervise their children's activities online
and to participate with their children's online activities whenever
possible. However, we understand that parents may not always be
able to supervise their children's activities on the Internet.
That's why Restyn has developed a Site that parents can feel is
safe for their children and kids will find cool, informative,
educational, and fun! Because there's always room for improvement,
Restyn welcomes any suggestions on how to make the Site a better,
safer place to hang out.
COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FROM
CHILDREN UNDER 13
When a visitor to our Site is under the age of 13, Restyn does
not require the disclosure of more personally identifiable information
than is reasonably necessary for him or her to participate in
an activity as a condition of such participation.
Restyn may use different types of personally identifiable information
submitted to this Site by children under 13 in a variety of ways,
which are described below. In each instance, we comply with the
parental consent requirements of COPPA.
A. Use of a Child's Information by Restyn
- We may collect a child's email address in connection with
a contest, sweepstakes or game for the sole purpose of communicating
with the child on a one-time-only basis (i.e., to contact a
contest winner). This information will not be used to re-contact
the child, and will be deleted from our records when the contest
or game is over. Parental consent will be obtained before we
send the winner a prize.
- We may collect a child's email address in order to respond
more than once to a child's specific request. For example, the
child may want to subscribe to an online newsletter or receive
other online communications from Restyn. In these instances
Restyn will also obtain a parent's email address along with
the child's. Before any further contact with the child, Restyn
will send an email to the parent (a) notifying him or her we
have collected the child's email address in order to respond
more than once to the child's request for a subscription, information,
etc; (b) informing the parent that he or she can refuse us permission
to contact the child, and how to do so; and (c) informing the
parent that if he or she does not respond to the email within
72 hours, Restyn may use the child's information for the purpose
for which it was submitted.
- We may collect a child's personally identifiable information
(including name, email address, mailing address and phone number)
for such activities as chats, forums, surveys, games, guestbooks,
bulletin boards, requests for suggestions, subscription registrations,
content submissions, requests for products or services, or requests
for additional information. In these instances we will initially
collect only the child's name and online contact information
and the email address of the child's parent. Before using this
information for any purpose, we will send the parent an email
that (a) informs the parent that we wish to collect and use
the child's personal information and need the parent's consent
to do so, and (b) provides the parent with a link to access
to this Privacy Policy, which describes our information collection
and use policies as required by COPPA. If the proposed use of
the child's personal information does not involve disclosure
to a third party, then Restyn will ask the parent to provide
consent by return email. Upon receipt of the email consent,
we will send the parent a confirming email. If the proposed
use of the child's personal information involves disclosure
to third parties, the email we send to the parent will ask the
parent either to (i) return by postal mail or fax a consent
form that will be attached to the email, or (ii) call a toll
free number where consent can be given over the phone. If parental
consent is not obtained by one of these methods within one week
Restyn will delete all of the child's and parent's personally
identifiable information from its records. In addition, parents
can revoke a prior consent at any time.
- We may collect a child's name and email address to the extent
reasonably necessary to protect the security of this Site, to
protect against liability or as required or permitted by law.
Information collected for these reasons will not be used for
any other purpose. B. Sharing Children's Personal Information
With Third Parties. Restyn may share a child's personal with
other affiliates who may send you information about their products
or services. These third parties have agreed to maintain the
confidentiality, security and integrity of the personal information
they obtain from Restyn. As noted above, parents may exercise
their option not to consent to the disclosure of their child's
personal information to third parties. Parents may consent to
Restyn's collection and use of a child's personal information
without consenting to the disclosure of the information to third
parties.
LINKS/CO-BRANDED SITES
As noted in Section I of this Privacy Policy, this Site may link
directly to sites operated by Restyn, LLC advertisers, business
partners and affiliated companies. Those sites, which are not
controlled by Restyn, LLC may collect personal information from
your child. Parents should therefore check the relevant site's
privacy policy to understand how it collects and uses children's
personal information. Restyn, LLC will not share in any personal
information obtained by a site from a child under the age of 13
unless that site follows the requirements of COPPA.
REVIEWING AND MAKING CHANGES TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
COLLECTED FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13
Parents of children under age 13 may review or delete personal
information about their children from our records at any time.
If you would like to know the types of personal information we
collect, please contact with the information on our contact page
(click here) or write to us at Restyn,
LLC Attn: Internet Site, 1810 A York Rd, PMB 115, Lutherville,
MD 21093. If you would like to know whether we have collected
personal information about your child, please provide us with
the activities that he or she participated in on the Site which
requested personal information. After we have reviewed the relevant
databases, we will confirm whether we have collected such information
about your child. Prior to changing or deleting such infromation,
we require that you provide us with proof of your name and address,
such as a valid driver's license, and proof that your child resides
with you or is otherwise in your custody. Once we have received
such proof and determined that it is satisfactory, we will immediately
delete or modify your child's information in our database and
refrain from collecting any other personally identifiable information
from your child, if you so request. However, there may be residual
information that will remain within our databases that may or
may not contain personally identifiable information. This residual
information will not be given to any other third party or used
for any commercial purpose.
DISCLOSURE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION THROUGH BUSINESS TRANSFERS
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or
partner with other companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire
customer information. In such transactions, user information may
be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the unlikely event
that a portion or substantially all of Restyn, LLC assets are
sold or transferred to a third party, the information you have
voluntarily provided to us, including your email address, would
likely be one of the transferred business assets.
SECURITY OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
While Restyn, LLC takes reasonable measures to keep Personally
Identifiable Information confidential and to ensure the integrity
and security of our network and website, we cannot guarantee that
unauthorized access will never occur.
YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By using this site, you signify your consent to Restyn, LLC and
Restyn.com. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not
use our sites. Your continued use of the Restyn.com and affiliated
sites after the posting of changes to these terms will mean you
accept those changes. |
