Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal information about our users ("you") (such as your
name or email address) when you use TinyStart unless you specifically decide to
provide such information in order to enhance your TinyStart experience. If you
choose to provide an email address as part of personalizing TinyStart, we will
not send an email to you unless you specifically request an email response to a
customer service inquiry or contact is required in order to protect someone's
safety or to enforce our Terms of Service. You are not required to provide an
email address at any time to use TinyStart.
We do collect anonymous information about you in connection with your use of the Site. For example, each time you come to TinyStart, we collect the limited information that your browser makes available whenever you visit any website: including (a) your Internet Protocol (IP) address, (b) your domain (e.g., whether you logged on from nutzworld.com or espn.com), (c) the address of the last URL you visited prior to clicking through to the Site (d) your browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform), (e) your browser language, and (f) the data in any undeleted cookies that your browser previously accepted from us.
In addition, we, our agents and our commerce partners may use cookies, "pixel tags," "clear GIFs" or other tracking technologies in connection with the Site. For example, when you visit TinyStart, we place a small text file -- called a "cookie" -- on your computer that allows us to identify your web browser. Cookies and other technologies are used on our site to assist us in understanding aggregate usage of the different areas of our service in order to improve the quality of our service. We also capture your source IP address which is a standard practice for most web sites. We in no way associate cookie and IP address data and also do not use IP address data in conjunction with any personally identifiable information. Cookies and other technologies are also used to customize the service based upon what site you arrived from and to store your preferences and settings.
We note that information collected by our commerce partners will be subject to their privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.
Our Use of Information
Again, we do not sell, rent or trade any personal information you provide when
using TinyStart.
We may use your e-mail for non-marketing purposes, such as: to respond to a request from you; for administrative purposes (such as to notify you of an impending closing of any account that is believed to be abandoned); if we believe we are compelled or otherwise required to do so under applicable law or as part of a legal proceeding; to cooperate with law enforcement or government request; to help protect someone's safety or property; to protect the integrity of the Site; or if there has been a violation or suspected violation of our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.
Further, if TinyStart is ever sold or all or substantially all of the assets relating to TinyStart are transferred to another entity, we may transfer to such acquiring entity the information you have provided to us so as to ensure continuity of your personalized service.
In addition, we may use and disclose anonymous information, such as aggregated information and statistics regarding Site usage and demographics, for marketing and non-marketing purposes.
Co-Branded Pages
We also offer you access to "co-branded" services that are jointly provided by
us and our content providers. In certain cases, services on this Site will
contain TinyStart branding, but might not be hosted by us. You should follow the
privacy link on the page to determine which company's privacy policy protects
the information you enter on the page.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13
without parental consent or otherwise in compliance with applicable law.
Privacy Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting an updated
Privacy Policy on the Site. We ask that you periodically review this page. You
may refer to the "Effective Date" at the top of this document to determine when
this Privacy Policy was last updated.
Internet privacy is an issue that we take very seriously. We provide this Privacy Policy so that our users will know what personally identifiable information is and is not being collected about you through the Site, how that information is and is not being used, and with whom it is and is not being shared.
Also, although we and our affiliates own or operate other websites, such websites are not governed by this Privacy Policy.
