COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
DOES SPIN MASTER COLLECT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT MY CHILD WHO IS 13 OR OVER?
Spin Master does not require anyone to share any personal information about themselves to use our web site. There is no need to register with us. However, there are sections of our site that contain special privileges for members that do register. We do not collect any personal information from your teenager unless it is voluntarily provided, for instance when registering for clubs, contests, downloads, or free demos, or completing our online customer surveys. The personal information we ask for is usually first and last name, mailing address, phone number and an e-mail address. See below for how we use this information.
DOES SPIN MASTER COLLECT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13?
Except in limited circumstances, Spin Master does not collect personal information online from children under 13 without their parent's consent. For some of our site's special activities, we may ask your child to register by providing us with a "username" and their e-mail address. Your child will be encouraged to use a "username" that is not their own and that only they know. From time to time we may ask your child to make up a password so that only they can use the special areas of the site. With your verifiable consent, we may collect personal information from your child such as a last name, address or e-mail address when this information is necessary for a particular activity. If we need more than just your child's name (or username) and e-mail address for your child to participate in a particular online activity, we will ask your child for your e-mail or mailing address so that we can notify you of your child's request to participate and get your permission for your child to provide the information. When we ask for your permission, we will tell you what we will do with the information your child provides us, and we will tell you how you can review your child's information and ask us to delete the information. We do not keep your (or your child's) e-mail address unless you tell us it is okay.
Spin Master might collect some information from your child under 13 without your consent, but only in the following special cases where it is allowed by law.
If a child under 13 sends a request to us, we keep their e-mail address for long enough to respond to them. Spin Master deletes this information from our system after we answer their question.
If a child under 13 signs up for a Spin Master website, or any other activity that requires online contact with the child, we also ask the child for a parent's e-mail address so we can notify you and give you an opportunity to opt out.
Occasionally, Spin Master has special site activities or promotions like sweepstakes or contests that are open to children even if they are under 13. In these activities, we are not allowed to ask for more information from your child than what is necessary for your child to participate in the activity. For instance, we might ask for your mailing address so that we can send you any prizes your child wins, or we might ask for your e-mail address or telephone number so that we can notify you when your child has won.
We also might collect contact information where it is necessary to protect your child's safety when they join in activities which in the future may include: Chat rooms, message boards or e-mail services.
In the last two situations when we ask for information without your consent, we require your child to give us your e-mail address as well so that we can tell you that they have registered in a promotion or for a service.
We do not require a child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the website, contests, games or other activities as a condition of participation. If you no longer wish your child to participate in the website or any other services offered by the Spin Master Ltd. website, simply click on the link that is provided for removal or contact us at webmaster@spinmaster.com Upon proper identification, parents may review the personal information we have collected about their child, request deletion, or refuse to allow further collection or use by writing to us at:

However, if you ask us to delete your child's information, we may have to ask your child not to participate in our activities. |
