How
ReadPlay.com Collects and Uses Your Information
Many of the ways in which you interact with this
site allow us to learn more about you. We use
your ISP address to help diagnose problems with
our server, and to administer our Web site, and
to gather broad demographic information. Our site
also uses cookies to make sure you don't see the
same banner ad repeatedly. 'Cookie' refers to
software implemented on a visitor's machine that
enables the server and the visitor to "remember"
previous transactions or registration information.
We use cookies to deliver content specific to
your interests, to save your Password ID so you
don't have to re-enter it each time you visit
our site, and for other purposes. We also track
the number of people who view each page to learn
which features are the most popular. But in these,
and almost all other instances, we do not obtain
personally identifiable information about you.
In
those instances where we do collect personally
identifiable information, you have the option
of choosing to reveal it to us. Examples of when
you voluntarily submit this kind of information
include when you answer our polls, enter contests,
fill out the registration page, send us feedback,
or participate in our chat rooms or message boards.
The
more accurate information you volunteer, the better
we are able to serve you in ways that will benefit
you. Our site's registration form requires users
to give us information whereby we may contact
you or follow up (like your name, zip code and
email address). You may choose to provide us with
additional information (like birthdates, or children
in household). We use customer contact information
from the registration form to send the user information
about our company and promotional material from
some of our partners. Your contact information
is only used with your permission to provide you
with information about us and shared with our
affiliate partners who may want to contact our
visitors. We require that any third parties with
whom we share your information maintain this data
in a confidential manner. You may opt-out of receiving
future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section
below.
Demographic
and profiling information may be used for marketing
and targeting purposes. Tracking how users arrive
at our site, and how they interact with our site
helps us to develop new features and content.
We use this data to customize the visitor's experience
at our site, showing them content that we think
they might be interested in, and displaying the
content according to their preferences. This information
is shared with advertisers only on a generalized
basis, that is, never containing any personally
identifiable information.
Our
online surveys and contests ask users for contact
information (like their email address). We use
this contact data from our surveys to send the
user information about our company and promotional
material from some of our partners. The user's
contact information is only used to contact the
user when necessary. However, on particular pages
where we ask for your personally identifiable
information, we may explicitly tell you that the
data we are collecting on that page will be shared
with third parties, in which case those disclosures
shall override anything to the contrary in this
policy. For example, before you submit answers
to questions we ask in an advertiser-sponsored
promotion, we will tell you that your answers
will be shared with that advertiser. Users may
opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the
choice/opt-out section below.
We
employ an outside company to display advertising
on our site. These ads may contain cookies. While
we use cookies in other parts of our Web site,
cookies received with banner ads may collect anonymous
preference and interest visitor information. This
information is used to create anonymous interest
profiles. This information does not include and
is never merged with personally identifiable information
(such as name, address or email address) or any
information that is considered sensitive or controversial
or that would compromise your privacy. These profiles
are used to tailor site content, promotions and
advertising and to perform market research. Consumers
can opt-out from these profiles at any time.
In
the event of a complaint, we may also receive
personally identifiable information about you
from other users or third parties who may communicate
information to us about you in relation to that
complaint.

Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information stored
on your hard drive, not on our site. We use cookies
or, in a limited number of cases, ISP addresses
for a number of reasons. First, cookies allow
you to store your password without having to constantly
re-enter it. Second, cookies can also help us
to tailor a Web site or a marketing message to
better match your needs and interests. Third,
cookies allow us to better understand how users
use our site, which in turn helps us focus our
resources on features that are most popular with
our users. You are always free to decline our
cookies if your browser permits, but some parts
of our site may not work properly if you do.
Note:
ReadPlay.com places advertising on our sites that
originates from outside advertisers and/or advertising
agencies. In some cases, if you click on or view
these ads, a cookie may be assigned by the advertiser.
ReadPlay.com does not control these cookies.
Public
Forums
This site may have chat rooms or message boards
available to its users. Please remember that any
information that is disclosed in these areas becomes
public information and you should exercise caution
when deciding to disclose your personal information.
Security
ReadPlay.com makes every effort to ensure the
security of your personal information, and the
secure transmission of your information from your
PC to our servers. There are security measures
in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration
of the information under our control. This site
uses SSL (Secure Server Software) and Thawte Digital
Certificate, which encrypts all the personally
identifiable information passing back and forth
between your PC and our server.
Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed 100% secure. We recommend that you
never reveal your Password ID to anyone. You will
never receive a request from ReadPlay.com for
your Password information in an unsolicited phone
call or e-mail. The privacy policy described here
applies only to ReadPlay.com, and not to other
companies' or organizations' Web sites to which
we link, or which link to us. Also, while we hope
to provide a safe and secure online experience,
be very careful about sharing your personal information
with other people you might meet as a result of
your visit to ReadPlay.com.
Choice/Opt-Out
Our site requires you to opt-in to receiving any
information from us or our partners. We also provide
you with the opportunity to opt-out of receiving
any future communications from us and our partners
at any time. If you want to remove your information
