PlayaSource Privacy Notice

PlayaSource knows that you care how information about you is used and
shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and
sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting
PlayaSource, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy
Notice.
What Personal Information About Customers Does PlayaSource Gather?
The
information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually
improve your experience at PlayaSource. Here are the types of
information we gather. -
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information
you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. Things like
user information and passwords. You can choose not to provide
certain information, but then you might not be able to take
advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you
provide for such purposes as responding to your requests,
customizing future items for you, improving our offerings, and
communicating with you. -
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of
information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many
Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of
information when your Web browser accesses PlayaSource. A typical
cookie that we may place may help us to recognize you on a return
visit. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you
visit Web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide
you with a personalized experience at PlayaSource if we cannot
recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
Search the web and you will readily find these tools. -
E-mail Communications: To
help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a
confirmation when you open e-mail from PlayaSource if your computer
supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to
lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending
unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive
e-mail or other mail from us at:
support@playasource.com, please
inform us and we will make sure that your wishes are followed. -
Information from Other
Sources: We might receive information about you from other
sources and add it to our account information.
What About Cookies? -
Cookies are alphanumeric
identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through
your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. -
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how
to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the
browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable
cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full
advantage of some of PlayaSource coolest features, and we recommend
that you leave them turned on.
Does PlayaSource Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business,
and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share
customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries
PlayaSource, Inc. controls that either are subject to this Privacy
Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in
this Privacy Notice. -
Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: -
Agents: We employ other companies and individuals to perform
functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders,
delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing
repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data,
providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links
(including paid listings and links), processing credit card
payments, and providing customer service. They have access to
personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not
use it for any other purposes. -
Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups
of PlayaSource customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do
this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do
not want to receive such offers, please let us know at
support@playasource.com -
-
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we
might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such
transactions, customer information generally is one of the
transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made
in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer
consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that PlayaSource,
Inc., or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer
information will of course be one of the transferred assets. -
Protection of PlayaSource and Others: We release account and
other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to
comply with the law; enforce or apply our
Terms
of Use and other
agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of
PlayaSource, our users, or others. This includes exchanging
information with other companies and organizations for fraud
protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does
not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing
personally identifiable information from customers for commercial
purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy
Notice.
With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive
notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you
will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me? -
We work to protect the security of your information during
transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which
encrypts information you input. We reveal only the last five digits
of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we
transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit
card company during order processing. As a rule, we do not ever see
all your credit card numbers. It is important for you to protect
against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer.
Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.
Which Information Can I Access?
PlayaSource gives you access to a broad range of information about your
account and your interactions with PlayaSource for the limited purpose
of viewing and, in certain cases, updating that information.
What Choices Do I Have? -
As discussed above, you can
always choose not to provide information, even though it might be
needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of some PlayaSource
features. You can add or update certain information on pages such as
those listed in the "Which Information Can I Access?" section above.
When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior
version for our records. If you do not want to receive e-mail or
other mail from us, please adjust your
support@playasource.com
(If you do not want to receive
Conditions of Use and other legal
notices from us, such as this Privacy Notice, those notices will
still govern your use of PlayaSource, and it is your responsibility
to review them for changes.) The Help portion of the toolbar on most
browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting
new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a
new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. You can explore
products that offer anonymous browsing. In addition, the Federal
Trade Commission provides useful information about online privacy on
its own Web site,
FTC Internet Site.
Children
PlayaSource does not sell products for purchase by children. We may sell
children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may
use PlayaSource only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions
If you choose to visit PlayaSource, your visit and any dispute over
privacy is subject to this Notice and our
Conditions of Use, including
limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the
law of the state of Washington. If you have any concern about privacy at
PlayaSource, please send us a thorough description to
support@playasource.com, and we will try
to resolve it.
Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the
Terms of Use will change also. We may
e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have
instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to
see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice
applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We
stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially
change our policies and practices to make them less protective of
customer information collected in the past without the consent of
affected customers.

participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with customer
service. For example, you provide information when you search for a

complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form; provide employer
information when opening a corporate account; participate in discussion

addresses and phone number; people (with addresses and phone numbers)
listed; e-mail addresses; content of reviews and e-mails to us; personal

such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform; the

free number. During some visits we may use software tools such as
JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page
response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page
interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-over), and
methods used to browse away from the page.
Information from Other Sources
Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated
delivery and address information from our carriers or other third
parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next
purchase or communication more easily; account information, purchase or
redemption information, or information for which we provide technical,
fulfillment, advertising, or other services; search term and search
result information from some searches conducted through the Web search
features such as search results and links, including paid listings (such

credit bureaus, which we use to help prevent and detect fraud and to
