Collection and Disclosure of Personal Information

We collect Information about you when you visit the Site and input information, whether you are registering to use the Site, enrolling or signing up for features and functions, participating in promotions, or in the course of any other exchanges of information, transactions and activities. We may use the information we obtain from you, including Personal Information, to tailor your experience on the Site, to display content we think may be of interest to you, or to let us customize what you see when you visit the Site according to your preferences.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your user name and password and for any charges, costs, expenses, damages, liabilities and losses we incur or may suffer as a result of your failure to do so. You, and not us, are solely responsible and liable for your activity, behavior, use and conduct on the Site and for any use of the Site or any other activity or conduct in connection with the Site, by any others who use your user name or password, unless and until you notify us that your user name or password may have been compromised, misappropriated or improperly taken or used by another party.

There may be a separate registration process which will require the submission of your first and last name, street address, city, state and zip code, email address, telephone number and date of birth. Additional Personal Information may be requested depending on the specific contest or sweepstakes, but submission of such information may be optional.


4. Use of Information In Connection with Promotions and Offers; Opt Out Procedures. We may contact website users that have registered for or participated in various events by email that may of interest to users of this Site. You may "opt out" of receiving marketing and promotional e-mails from us via the opt-out mechanism that is contained in an email or text message. However, we may continue to contact you via email for administrative or informational purposes, including follow-up messages regarding the administration of your account, contests you have entered or other transactions you have undertaken. In the event that we unknowingly send an email to a child (a person under the age of 13 years) who has registered on the Site in violation of the Site's Terms of Use Agreement, the child or the child's parent or legal guardian always have the right to unsubscribe from receiving future emails or text messages via the unsubscribe (opt-out) mechanism contained in the email or message, or to request termination of the child's registration on the Site. The same is true for the parent or legal guardian of a minor (a person under the age of 18 years old). Please feel free to contact customer support if you require assistance with this. Details on how to contact customer support may be found at the bottom of this page.


5. Sharing of Aggregate Information with Third Parties. We may use personal information of guests to reply to user questions directed to Goodlucktrolls.com support staff. We may also disclose such information to companies and individuals we employ to perform functions on our behalf. Examples may include companies developing the Site, hosting our Web servers, analyzing data, and providing customer service. These companies and individuals will have access to your personal information as necessary to perform their functions, but they may not share that information with any other third party. Any personally identifiable information will be deleted from our systems after we or those acting on our behalf have resolved any questions and replied to such user.

Some of the aggregate customer data we collect may be shared with Advertisers, but we do not give any Information to them as part of the relationship except as described in this Privacy Policy. Use of their tracking technology is subject to their own privacy policies.

We may hire companies to administer a Goodlucktrolls.com contest or sweepstakes. These companies are allowed to gather, receive, and use your information only for the purposes described in this paragraph or as required by law. These companies and DIC will keep personally identifiable information only until we have successfully selected the winner(s), awarded the prize(s), and completed the administration of the sweepstakes. These companies may not use personal information for other purposes, and have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of this information.

We may disclose such information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect our rights or property; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of guests or the public.

We may also disclose and transfer such information to a third party who acquires all or a substantial portion of the Site, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets. In addition, in the event that we become the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, we or its trustee in bankruptcy may sell, license or otherwise dispose of such information in a transaction approved by the bankruptcy court.

Collection of Information by Third-Party Sites and Sponsors

Our website may contain links to other sites whose privacy policies may be different than our own. We do not endorse or take responsibility for the content or business practices of these sites. Guests should visit and read the privacy policies of these other sites, because these sites are not covered by our privacy policy and they may follow procedures that are different than our own.

Cookies

When guests visit our website, we may automatically collect, in a text file called a "cookie," certain non-personally identifiable information about the guest's computer, such as the operating system that the guest is using (for example, Windows 95 or Mac OS), the user's IP address (this is the automatic number that is assigned to your computer when you surf the Internet), the web browser the guest is using (for example, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer), and information about the Internet Service Provider (for example, AOL or MSN).

We collect and analyze this website usage information in the aggregate, using the cookies to help us figure out how many people visit our sites, which of our web pages they visit, and how long they stay there. We can then use this information to create a website that better serves the needs of our guests.

For a user, cookies make web surfing easier by enabling us to save the user's passwords, purchases, and preferences. A cookie lets the computer remember that a user has registered, which allows us to speed up the user's future activities at our website. If you leave the site and then return, cookies will tell us information that you have already provided so that you do not have to start all over again. Letting the cookie do the recordkeeping saves the user the trouble of entering information over and over again during a single visit.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you would prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you whenever cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some areas of Goodlucktrolls.com will not function properly if you set your computer to refuse cookies.

Although the pieces of information that we collect via cookies are linked to your computer, we do not combine them with any personally identifiable or online contact information, such as a name, address or email address, and therefore you and your family remain anonymous.

This Site may contain advertisements, references and links to other websites and organizations. We may also use third parties to display or serve advertising on the Site and our web-based newsletters. Often these third party Advertisers employ cookie and web bug technologies to measure advertising effectiveness. You should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, use or disclosure of your information by third parties in connection with their advertisements, promotions and other websites you encounter on the Internet. The use of such technology by these third parties is within their control and not ours. Even if we have a relationship with the third party, we do not control those sites or their policies and practices regarding your information. This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information that a third party Advertiser or ad server may collect from you. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions directly of them in this regard.

Postings: We respect the privacy of the contents of users' e-mail and other correspondence (collectively, "Postings"). However, we reserve the right to monitor, edit, and disclose your use of the Site, information pertaining to any Posting or its contents to a third party, if we believe such action is required by law or is necessary to protect and defend our rights, to enforce this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use Agreement, or to protect the interests of our users, Advertisers, suppliers, operational service providers, and others.

Security

Although we will exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of information between your computer and our servers, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet and we accept no liability for any unintentional disclosure.

The Privacy Policy described above is effective as of November 22, 2005. We reserve the right to amend its Privacy Policy at any time at our sole discretion.
