2. WHAT INFORMATION IS COLLECTED AT THE WEBSITE?
We endeavor to create website content which requires minimum collection of information from our users. Generally, the Site limits collection of information to what is known as non-personally identifiable information (e.g. first name, age, birthday, gender, city or town). This information is collected so visitors can participate in activities without giving out unnecessary personal information. Where we need extra information, e.g. kids'/parents' email addresses, telephone numbers (as explained below) to run competitions or to offer extra on-line activities, we let the visitors know the reason for which we are collecting the information and what we will do with it. We do not as a condition to a visitor’s participation in any of our on-line activity require the disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary.
There are some areas of the Site that ask visitors to enter personally identifiable information. We have made this safer and easier for the Users to use by establishing a Name and Password facility. This requires the User to enter in personally identifiable information only once at the time of registration, but after that they only require to put in their Name and Password. This personal information is added to our database and is used for the purpose of fulfilling prizes, mailing/emailing newsletters and birthday cards, emailing our newsletters and for other marketing purposes initiated by the Site.
