the terms and conditions.
Cool Style Girl, LLC. ("CSG) is committed to
protecting your online privacy when visiting
http://www.coolstylegirl.com (“Website”)
operated by us. We do not collect and keep any
personal information online from you unless you
volunteer it and you are 13 or older. We also do
not collect and keep personal information online
from children under the age of 13 without
consent of a parent or legal guardian, except in
limited circumstances authorized by law and
described in this policy. Please review the
information below to familiarize yourself with
our policies on website privacy, so that you can
take full advantage of all the fun activities
available at our Website for you and your
family. Please remember that this site and the
servers that make this site available are
located in the U.S. By using this site you agree
to the transfer, collection, processing and use
of data by this site.
A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS AND LEGAL GUARDIANS:
CSG adheres to the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act of 1998 and the guidelines of the
Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. in the
operation of our Website. You can help by
spending time online with your children and
monitoring your children's online use. Please
help us protect your child's privacy by
instructing them never to provide personal
information on this site or any other without
your permission.
If you are under 18, please be sure to read this
policy with your parents or legal guardians and
ask questions about things you do not
understand. Children under 13 should get your
parent's or legal guardian's permission before
giving out your e-mail address or any personal
information to CSG or to anyone else on the
Internet.
1. Does CSG Collect Any Personal Information
About Me If I'm 13 Or Older?
CSG does not require anyone to share any
personal information about themselves in order
to enjoy our Website. You can visit our sites
without any need to register with us. However,
our site contains special sections and
privileges for members that register. We do not
collect any personal information from you or
your teenager unless it is voluntarily provided.
The personal information we ask for is usually
first and last name, mailing address, and an
e-mail address. See below for how we use this
information. Remember, only people who are 18 or
older may purchase products from our online
store.
2. What Information Does CSG Collect In Our
On-Line Store (Cool Style Shop)
We may offer opportunities to purchase products
in our online store.. Customers must be over the
age of 18 with a valid credit card. When a
customer places an order or enters the Cool
Style Shop online, we collect information
associated with the transaction, which will
include the customer's name, mailing address,
products ordered, shipping address, and credit
card information. We ask for this information so
that we may fulfill the order request. We use
secure technology to protect credit card data
during transmission to our Website, and adopt
careful internal procedures to safeguard this
information in our system. We require our
service providers and vendors to safeguard the
privacy of any personal information they handle
and to adhere to industry-accepted best
practices to safeguard personal information.
Customers have the option of registering certain
information for future orders while completing
their online order. For the customers who
choose to register, we will capture their login
name, password, name and mailing address,
alternate ship-to addresses, and credit card
information. Enhanced subscription services at
Websites may be available to you or your child
for a monthly or other fee. To register your
child, we will ask you to provide your child's
screen or user name and password in addition to
your (parent or legal guardian’s) contact
details and credit card information so we can
assist you in managing your child's account. We
may also offer you the option to be billed
automatically for subscription service fees. If
you elect to automatically renew a subscription,
we or our trusted service providers will retain
your registration information, including your
credit card information, so we can process your
request.
When registered customers return to the site to
place subsequent orders, they can identify
themselves with their login name and password.
If a customer includes a child's birth date and
e-mail address, this information will only be
used to help us provide products and services
that meet customer needs.
When a customer places an order online, we will
send a confirming e-mail message. We may also
send an occasional e-mail featuring a special
promotion or product that may be of interest to
customers. Any customer who prefers not to
receive an online order confirmation or
promotional e-mail should indicate this
preference on the online store order form. If
you do receive an e-mail from us that you would
rather not receive, simply follow the
"unsubscribe" instructions included in the
e-mail. When a customer places an order or
registers on the Website where transactions are
handled by a third-party vendor, those
transactions may be conducted through the
vendor's website. You should be sure to review
the vendor's website terms and conditions and
privacy policy before submitting any personal
information or engaging in any transactions
through any third-party website, as CSG is not
responsible for any transactions made through
third-party websites or for any content, terms
and conditions, or privacy policies of such
third-party websites.
3. Does CSG Collect Personal Information About
Anyone Under 13?
We do not collect personal information online
from children under 13 without consent of a
parent or legal guardian except in special,
limited circumstances. If your child is under 13
and wants to use our Website with special
activities, like scavenger hunts, personalized
pages, games or clubs, we might ask your child
to "register." They can often do so anonymously
by just providing a user name and password, but
sometimes we need their first name and e-mail
address. When we ask for your child's first
name, your child is encouraged to use a "screen
name" (not their real name) that only they know.
Sometimes we will ask your child to make up a
special password so that only they can see their
customized areas on 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 the information
is necessary for a particular activity. If we
need more than just your child's first name (or
screen name) 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 and get your permission.
When we ask for your permission, we will tell
you what we will do with the information you or
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.
CSG may collect an e-mail address and first name
(or screen name) from your child under 13
without your consent, but only in the following
special cases:
If a child under 13 sends a request to
us, we keep their e-mail address for long enough
to respond to them. CSG deletes this
information from our system after we answer
their question.
If a child under 13 signs up for an
e-mail newsletter, or other activity that
requires multiple online contacts with the
child, we also ask the child for a parent's or
legal guardian's e-mail address so we can notify
you and give you an opportunity to opt out.
Occasionally, CSG 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.
In the latter situation we require your child to
give us your e-mail address, too, so that we can
tell you that they have registered in a
promotion or for a service. If we need more than
an e-mail address and first name (or screen
name) to enter your child in the promotion or
offer the service, we will notify you, explain
what information we need and why, and generally
ask that you (not your child) provide it. For
instance, we might ask you for your mailing
address so that we can send to you, for your
child, any prizes your child wins, or for your
telephone number so that we can tell you when
your child has won. Any information you or your
child gives us in the above special
circumstances will be deleted from our database
once the promotion, program or activity is
concluded, and after any legally required period
for keeping such information is complete.
We may offer enhanced services available to
children under 13. In such cases, a parent must
register for the service and establish the
appropriate permission level for the child.
Content and activities available to you or your
child may vary depending on the subscription and
site. Parents will be provided with information
on the type of content and activities their
child may access at the time they subscribe and
are always in charge of their child's account.
Subscription fees may apply for some services.
We do not require a child to disclose more
information than is reasonably necessary to
participate in a contest, game or other activity
as a condition of participation. If you no
longer wish your child to participate in an
e-mail newsletter, simply click on the link that
is provided for removal or contact us at
coolstylegirl@bellsouth.net. Upon proper
identification, parents or legal guardians may
review the personal information we have
collected about their child, request deletion,
or refuse to allow further collection or use of
the information. Click here to send a request to
review the personal information collected about
your child or send a written request to:
Personal Information Review Access Request
Cool Style Girl, LLC
PO Box 310356
Atlanta, GA 31131-0356_
However, if you ask us to delete your child's
information, we may have to ask your child not
to participate in our activities.
4. What Does CSG Do With The Information We
Collect?
We use the personal information we collect for
the purposes indicated at the time you, your
teenager or child (with your consent) provides
such information. For instance, if you register
in a contest, we will use the registration
information to notify contest winners, or if you
purchase a product, we will use the information
to fulfill the order. Occasionally, and only
with consent at the time we ask for information,
we might also e-mail or mail you , your teenager
or your child to provide information on upcoming
CSG products, Website updates and promotions.
With your consent, we may also share information
with other CSG brands so that they can let you
and your family know about products that might
be of interest. If you want to stop receiving
such updates and product information at any
time, just contact us at
coolstylegirl@bellsouth.com. Our mailings and
e-mail will also include information allowing
you to ask not to receive such information in
the future.
5. Does CSG Share Information About Me With
Others?
If you consent, CSG may provide your information
to outside companies that offer products or
services that may be of interest, and if your
teenager 13 or older consents, we may likewise
provide their information. Except as described
in this policy, we never share personal
information that we receive online from children
under 13 with other companies outside CSG for
their marketing purposes. We will remove your
name from the list we provide to outside
companies if you contact us at
coolstylegirl@bellsouth.net, and we will do the
same for your teenager's name if they request
removal. In special circumstances, CSG may give
other companies access to our information
database, but only if necessary to allow them to
provide database or server maintenance or
security, manage transactions, help us process
and fulfill orders or requests, or provide other
similar services to CSG. If we do provide
access, we require those other companies to sign
confidentiality agreements promising to keep
secret any information they see. If CSG believes
that anyone's behavior on our sites may damage
us or our Website or anyone else, we may
disclose the relevant personal information in
order to prevent this harm. In that case, we
might try to identify the wrongdoer, contact
them or bring legal action against them. We may
also disclose personal information if we believe
that the disclosure is required by law, or in
response to a legal request.
6. How Does CSG Use Cookies?
A "cookie" is a small file that we save on your
computer's hard drive that contains non-personal
information. Our cookies help to give you faster
access to pages you have already visited; they
allow you to personalize your pages and us to
customize our offerings; and they help you to
participate in some activities or events on the
Website. For instance, our Website may have
scavenger or treasure hunts, and we need to use
cookies to keep track of your progress. If you
leave the site and then return, cookies will
tell us what things you have already collected
so that you do not have to start all over again.
Cookies keep track of items in your shopping
cart and wish list in our online stores. We also
use cookies to help us figure out how many
people visit our sites, which of our Web pages
they stop at and how long they stay there. This
information helps us figure out which of our Web
features are successes and what sites might need
improvement. For administrative purposes, we
collect IP addresses, which is the automatic
number assigned to your computer when you surf
the Web. Certain Internet Service Providers may
assign the same IP address to many users. The IP
address allows us to count the total number of
"hits" on our sites. However, your IP address
and cookie are not connected to any personally
identifiable or online contact information like
a name and address, so you and your family
remain anonymous.
7. Does CSG Ever Collect Information Without
Consent?
CSG does not collect information passively
through cookies or other tracking mechanisms
except in the circumstances described above.
However, third-party advertisers may, so please
review section 8 below. CSG cookies DO NOT
contain any personal information about a
specific user. We do not use cookies or other
non-consensual methods to take personally
identifiable or online contact information about
you or your family off of your computer. Except
for certain activities like treasure hunts,
which we talked about above, CSG does not use
cookies for direct marketing or promotional
purposes. CSG does not use cookies to collect
information specifically about you or your
family for sharing with third parties.
8. Do CSG Third-Party Advertisers Use Cookies?
In the course of serving advertisements to this
site, our third-party advertisers may place or
recognize a unique cookie on your browser. Some
of these companies may use non-personal
information (which means information that does
not include your name, address, e-mail address
or telephone number) about your visits to this
and other websites to provide advertisements
about goods and services of interest to you.
-----
We want you and your family to have fun on our
Website and urge you and your family to follow
common sense whenever disclosing personal
information - on this site or anywhere on the
Internet.
Thanks for reading our privacy policy. We hope
you have a better understanding of the
activities offered on our Website and the ways
in which we really are committed to safeguarding
online privacy. Remember, we may change our
policy from time to time. When this happens we
will notify you of the new policy by posting it
on our Website.
