Dreamalings
Online Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting the
privacy and security of the users of our sites.
This privacy policy will advise you about how we protect your
personal information, and about what choices you have concerning our use of
such information. Please read this policy carefully. We may need to change this
policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on
our sites. We will post those changes here so that you will always know what
information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will
disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this policy
regularly.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy
policy, please send an e-mail to: info@dreamalings.com.
Scope of Privacy Policy
This policy applies to your use of all of the sites and
services owned or operated by StoryGirl Productions, LLC.,
and affiliated companies, including companies controlled by Jaime Abromovitz (collectively "we," "us," or
"our"), including Dreamalings.com, and any other site that we may
own or operate currently or in the future (collectively, the
"Sites"). Unless we say otherwise, all references to the Sites in
this policy include all such sites. This policy does not apply to your use of
unaffiliated sites to which any of the Sites only link. This policy covers only
information collected on the Sites and does not cover any information collected
offline by us.
Personal Identification Information
We may request personal identification information from you
(such as your name, street address, telephone number, credit card number,
e-mail address, and/or any other identifier that permits the physical or online
contacting of you) in connection with your use of, or participation in,
membership registration for Dreamalings.com, our contests, sweepstakes, games,
surveys, forums, subscription registrations, content submissions, chats,
bulletin boards, discussion groups, requests for suggestions, visitors'
requests for free products or services or additional information (including via
email to us), and in connection with other activities, services or resources we
make available on any of our sites. In all of these cases, we will collect
personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit
such information to us. Except as otherwise provided in this
policy, we will never intentionally disclose any personal identification
information about you as an individual user to any third party without having
received your permission.
If you do provide us with personal information for any of
these activities, we may use it to conduct the activity. We may also use cookie
technology (discussed in detail below) to improve your experience of these
activities, including to remember your preferences, customize the content and advertisements that you see or authenticate your access to your
personal information. In addition, in the event your personally identifiable information is requested as part of our surveys or polls,
such personally identifiable information may be added to your registration
information).
We may also contact you to confirm your registration and about
your account status (for example, when a child enters a new age group to which
different policies apply), and regarding changes to the Sites' Terms and
Conditions and this Privacy Policy.
If you give us your permission, we may also use personal
identification information for internal or external marketing and promotional
purposes. On occasion, for example, we may send you e-mails to introduce a product or service that we think might be of interest to the
users of our sites. For us to obtain your permission to send you this
information, we will give you an opportunity to "opt-in" at the time
our request for your personal information is made. If you do
"opt-in," you may choose to "opt-out" at any time, even
after you have provided personal information, by following the procedures set
forth below at the end of this Privacy Policy. Please note, however, that under
certain circumstances, if you initially do not choose to "opt-in," or
if you later "opt-out," you may not be eligible for certain benefits
for which a name, e-mail address, telephone number or other personal
identification information is needed.
We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will
release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid
legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court
order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if
there is an attempted breach of the security of the Sites, or a physical or
property threat to you or others. We may also transfer user information,
including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate
merger, consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division or
other fundamental corporate change.
Further, the information you enter when making a purchase or
an online donation will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways,
and your credit card company to authorize credit card payments. Such
information may also be shared with necessary third parties solely for the
purpose or carrying out the transactions.
Also, personal information that you submit in connection with the Dreamalings.com website may
be shared with a subcontracted company that fulfills our orders and shipments, ie: book, merchandise, or any and all other order shipment
needs.
Please note that if you give out personal information online
-- for example, on one of our public forums such as a message board or chat
room, folder, chat IM feature -- that information can be collected and used by
third parties. Although we strive to protect our users' privacy, we cannot
guarantee the security of information you post in these forums. You disclose
such information at your own risk.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of
your information and password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your
registration, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify
us of any unauthorized use of your registration or password.
Non-Personal Identification Information
We may collect non-personal identification information through
the use of:
"Cookie" technology: A "cookie" is an element
of data that a web site can send to your browser, which may then store it on
your system.
"IP address tracking": An IP address is a number
that is assigned to your computer when you are on the Internet. When you
request pages from our Sites, our servers log your IP address.
"Web beacons": A Web beacon, or "clear
gif", is a small graphic image on a webpage or web-based document that a
web site can use to determine information about a user.
Non-personal identification information might include the
browser you use, the type of computer, technical information about your means
of connection to our site-such as the operating systems and the Internet
service providers utilized, and other similar information. Our systems may also
automatically gather information about the areas you visit and search terms you
utilize on our sites and about the links you may select from within our site to
other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online.
We use such information to administer the site and, in the
aggregate, to understand how our users as a group use the services and
resources provided on our sites. This way we know which areas of our sites are
favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are
being used so that we may continually improve our sites.
We may share this aggregate statistical information with our
partners, suppliers and other third parties, but we will not share any
individual names, personal navigational or other personal information. For
example, we may use a third-party advertising company to serve ads when you
visit our Sites. We may share demographic and preference information with this
company to allow them to display appropriate advertisements for you.
Some of our advertisers may display ads on our sites which may
use cookie technology to (i) identify non-personal
information about our users (such as connection speed, browser and country of
origin) and (ii) track user behavior within our sites. Advertisers generally
use such information to customize the display of ads within our sites. We will
not permit such advertisers to collect any personal information from our users
within our sites.
In addition, Dreamalings.com and/or a third party research company, may set cookies to collect non-personal identification
information regarding your exposure to certain advertisements on Dreamalings.com
and for purposes of soliciting you on a voluntary basis in research efforts.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set your
browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you
do so, please note that some parts of the Sites, such as message boards, may
not function properly.
Privacy of Children
We understand that young people need special safeguards and
privacy protection. We realize that they may not understand all the provisions
of our policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that
are made available to our adult users. We strongly urge all parents to
participate in their children's exploration of the Internet and any online
services, and to teach their children about protecting their personal
information while online.
We prohibit registration by children under the age of 13 for
all interactive portions of the Sites including content submission or personal
information submission forms, chats and message boards. We will not knowingly
collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
We may, at our discretion, require users under 18 to obtain
the consent of a parent or guardian to view certain content, and we may limit
access to certain content to users above a specified age. You agree to abide by
any such restrictions, and not to help anyone avoid these restrictions.
Links To Other Sites
Users will find advertising or other content on our sites that
link to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers,
sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the contents or
links that appear on these sites. In addition, these sites or services,
including their contents and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and
services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies, or
no policy (policies) at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of
any third party sites or services before providing any of them with your
personal information.
Security Policy
Protecting your privacy and your information is a top
priority. We have taken careful measures to secure both your information and
our physical premises. We exercise great care in providing safe transmission of
your information from your PC to our servers (unless sent by a means outside of
our control, such as e-mail).

others, you can change your mind later. If at any time you would like to stop
receiving such information or opt-out of a feature, you may go back to dreamalings.com
