Information Collection |
|
|
The majority of products and services on our site are offered
without collecting any personally identifiable information from
you. You can surf our site and view much of our content
anonymously. |
|
|
|
|
|
Information You Provide |
|
|
We collect information when you provide it to us, such as by
contacting us or by joining one of our mailing lists. When you
make a purchase, we will ask you to provide us with your name,
company name, contact information, and credit card information. We
will also ask you to create a password, and to choose a security
question and enter an answer in case we need to remind you of your
password. |
|
|
|
|
|
Information Collected from You with Technology |
|
|
Through this site, we also automatically collect some
non-personally identifiable information about you using
technology. For instance, we may collect the domain from which you
access the Internet; IP address; browser type; screen resolution;
Internet connection speed; operating system; the date and time you
access our site; and the Internet address of the website from
which you linked to our site. We use such information to make our
site more interesting and useful to you. We normally don’t combine
this type of information with personally identifiable information;
however, we will combine this information with personally
identifiable information in some cases, such as to enforce
compliance with our house rules or terms of service or to protect
our service, site, or other people. |

How We Use Cookies |
|
|
Cookies are pieces of information that a website sends to your
computer while you are viewing the website. These pieces of
information allow the website to remember important information
that will make your use of that site more useful. This website,
like other Internet sites, uses cookies for a variety of purposes.
For instance, when placing an order, we use cookies to remember
and process the items in your shopping cart. You can usually set
your Internet browser to warn you each time a cookie is being sent
or to turn off all cookies. Each browser is a little different, so
look at your browser Help menu to learn about the options your
browser provides regarding cookies. If you turn cookies off, you
won't have access to site features that make your Web experience
more efficient -- like the features mentioned above -- and some of
our services will not function properly. |
|
|
|
|
|
How We Use the Information |
|
|
We use personally identifiable information in a limited number of
ways. We use the information to operate our business and to
complete transactions, to respond to your requests, and to provide
information or updates from us (depending on the option you have
chosen). For instance, if you purchase an item, we use your
information to process your order. We may use the information we
collect to understand and improve our website, our products and
our services. In addition, we may also use the information to
contact you regarding changes to our privacy policy or other
policies that may affect you and your use of our website, products
and services. |
|
|
|
|
|
How We Share the Information |
|
|
We will only share your information as described in this policy or
with your consent.
Companies That Are Standing In For Us
We may use the services of agents and contractors to assist us in
providing our products and services, such as a shipping company
that delivers a package, a company that helps us process your
payment, or contractors that assist us in operating the website.
In those instances, we need to share your information with them.
These companies are basically standing in for us, and they are not
allowed to use the information for independent purposes.
Legal Requirements and Organizations
That Help Protect the Security and Safety of Our Guests and Our
Site
We will give out personal information as required by law, for
example, to comply with a court order or subpoena; to enforce our
Terms of Use or our site or game rules; or to protect the safety
and security of visitors or our site.
Transfer of Assets
We may transfer information about you if we sell all or a portion
of our assets, such as if we are acquired by or merged with
another entity. |
|
|
|
|
|
Your Choices |
|
|
You can use most aspects of our site without giving us any
personally identifiable information. When you do register with us
or give us personally identifiable information, you will have an
opportunity to limit e-mail communications from Puzzles.com. You
can also request at any time that we not send future marketing
e-mail to you either by unsubscribing using the instructions in
our emails or by contacting us at
support@ThinkFun.com.
Also, as mentioned above, you may be able to use your browser
controls to limit the information that we collect through cookies. |
|
|
|
|
|
Security |
|
|
Maintaining the security of our visitors’ personally identifiable
information is important to us. We take reasonable technical,
contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to
protect visitors’ information. Personally identifiable information
that we collect is stored on our secure server and can only be
accessed by certain employees within our company. When you provide
credit card information we use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
Certificate to encrypt and protect your credit card data. We show
the Norton Secured seal on our website to assure our visitors of
these security practices. |
|
|
|
|
|
Accessing and Changing Information |
|
|
You can access or change the personally identifiable information
you have provided to us by logging into your account on the
website, using your email address and password you used during the
initial set-up. If you forget your password, you can retrieve it
using the security question that you set during registration. |
|
|
|
|
|
Children’s Privacy |
|
|
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information
from children under 13. If a parent or guardian believes that a
child under 13 has provided use with personally identifiable
information, you can contact Customer Service by email at
support@ThinkFun.com
to request deletion of the information. Please include information
in the email that will help us identify the child's account. |
|
|
|
|
|
Links to Third-Party Sites |
|
|
Our site may contain links to third-party sites. Their information
practices may be different than ours, and we do not have control
over the information that is submitted to, or collected by, these
third parties. You should consult the privacy policies of these
other sites to learn about their practices. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy. We will
notify you of any material changes to our Privacy Policy by

learn what information we collect, how we use it, and to whom we
share it. Your continued use of our website after any such changes
have been posted constitutes your agreement to those changes. |
