Our Privacy Vow

We at 1-800-Patches believe that strong electronic privacy is crucial for the ongoing success of the Internet as a service and as a commercial, educational, and entertainment medium. However, we do need to understand user behavior in order to serve you better. To achieve this goal, we need to understand what differentiates you from other unique users of the Site. We collect information in two ways: at registration and with cookies.

Information We May Ask You to Provide at Registration

1-800-Patches gathers information about our registrants that allows us to offer compelling services and easily accessible online content in a manner that provides personal privacy protection as well. When you register or purchase on 1-800-Patches, we request and collect personal information including your name, address, phone, email address. This information also helps us provide content and products that are relevant to you. It is up to you to decide whether you wish to participate in these activities and provide the required information. We do NOT collect Social Security numbers. Credit card information, such as card numbers and expiration dates, are collected only when purchases are made and are used for purchase transactions only. This information is used solely in the event of a commercial transaction.

We may also request information about your likes, dislikes, purchasing habits, and online activities. This information helps 1-800-Patches deliver content and activities that are customized and relevant to your preferences. This information may be made available to our corporate sponsors in varying degrees of complexity, but only if you have given your permission for this to occur.

Along with all of our Registrants, you will receive periodic electronic-mail messages covering such topics as the confirmation of initial Registration. You may at any time cancel your membership with 1-800-Patches.

Information We May Implicitly Collect

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small bits of information that a Web site transfers to your computer's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web surfing easier by saving your registration, passwords, and preferences: they allow you to be recognized when you return to the Site. The use of cookies is an industry-wide practice and you'll find them at most major Web sites.

Cookies help us to serve you better by improving the site. They allow us to track your interests and add content that is more relevant to you. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry. Most Web browsers are usually set to initially accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, the site may not function properly if you do not accept cookies. Acceptance of a 1-800-Patches registration obligates you to accept our cookies.

Collecting IP Addresses

1-800-Patches collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers. An IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When sweepstakes players click on pages from the 1-800-Patches Site, our servers log the Registrants' IP addresses. We, in turn, use this information to track navigation through the Site and to improve the performance of the 1-800-Patches online experience. In addition, 1-800-Patches uses WebTrends Live to analyze traffic to this web site. WebTrends Live does not create individual profiles for visitors. Unlike some tracking services WebTrends Live does not have a database of individual profiles for each visitor. WebTrends Live only collects aggregate data.

Collecting Interests

In general, 1-800-Patches does not collect Site Member information simply based on your interactions with our Site. However, we may make note of your interest or disinterest in a particular subject via a simple numeric value added to your Member profile. This value indicates your relative interest or disinterest in a particular subject when you complete specific events or activities that are meaningful to us in understanding how to provide you with better customer support.

Sharing of Information

1-800-Patches will never willfully disclose individually identifiable information about you to any third party without first receiving your permission. We will use your individually identifiable information only within our Site to provide a personalized experience to you or to assist us in fulfilling awards that you might win. It will also be shared with partners that provide some of the personalized content on our Site, but only if you have given your permission for this to occur. Our privacy guarantee to you remains unchanged.

Guidelines for Children

We understand that children have unique privacy needs. Therefore, 1-800-Patches has adopted a special policy to protect their privacy online, especially children under 13 years of age. Without verifiable parental consent, 1-800-Patches will not collect any registration information from children we know to be under 13 years of age, nor will we send them any direct email offers. We will allow consenting parents of children under the age of 13 to access their child's account, edit account information, and help manage their child's personal information. We will continually review 1-800-Patches privacy policies to ensure our compliance with the latest children's online privacy protection regulations. 1-800-Patches's sweepstakes are not available to Registrants under the age of 13. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the online activities of their children. No information should be submitted to, or posted at, the 1-800-Patches site by a visitor under 13 years of age without the consent of the child's parent or guardian.

Opt-out Features

Every time we collect name and address information about you: You can tell us if you don't wish to receive communications from 1-800-Patches such as email newsletters announcing new features. You can tell us if you don't want to receive communications from third-party companies that offer a product or service we think would be of value to you.
