(last updated: March 2005)
Our-Creswell is committed to protecting your privacy. This Our-Creswell Privacy Statement applies to the OUR-CRESWELL family of Web sites and governs data collection and usage at all OUR-CRESWELL sites and services; it does not apply to other online or offline sites, products or services. Please read the OUR-CRESWELL Privacy Statement below and also any supplementary information at the end of this statement for additional details about particular OUR-CRESWELL sites and services that you may use.
OUR-CRESWELL is a general audience web site, intended for users of all ages. Personal information of all users is collected, used and disclosed as described in this Privacy Statement. This Statement contains a section with specific details regarding personal information collected from children. Click here to read more.
Collection of your Personal Information
At some sites, OUR-CRESWELL collects personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. OUR-CRESWELL may also collect demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age group, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. We do not share any direct personal information with any third-parties, only general demographic information. No information obtained from OUR-CRESWELL websites are sold, exchanged or bartered.
OUR-CRESWELL also collects certain information about your computer hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by OUR-CRESWELL for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of OUR-CRESWELL.
OUR-CRESWELL keeps track of the pages our customers visit within OUR-CRESWELL, in order to determine what OUR-CRESWELL sites and services are the most popular. This data is also used by OUR-CRESWELL to deliver customized content and advertising to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
OUR-CRESWELL encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from OUR-CRESWELL so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. OUR-CRESWELL is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the OUR-CRESWELL family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
OUR-CRESWELL and its operational service partners collect and use your personal information to operate OUR-CRESWELL and deliver the services you have requested. OUR-CRESWELL does not use or disclose sensitive personal information without your explicit consent.
OUR-CRESWELL also uses your personal information to inform you of other products or services available from our affiliates. OUR-CRESWELL may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
OUR-CRESWELL does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. OUR-CRESWELL may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.
Certain OUR-CRESWELL services may be co-branded and offered in conjunction with another company. If you register for or use such services, both OUR-CRESWELL and the other company may receive information collected in conjunction with the co-branded services. In such cases, either a joint privacy statement or a link to the other company's privacy statement will be provided, which will provide you with information about how the other company will use the information and how you can contact the other company with requests to access the information or other inquiries.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Control your Personal Information
OUR-CRESWELL offers its customers choices for the collection, use and sharing of personal information. You may choose not to receive marketing material from OUR-CRESWELL or on behalf of external third party business partners. At anytime, you may change your profile with us.
In addition, you may visit the "OUR-CRESWELL Personal Information Center" to view, edit or delete your personal information from the OUR-CRESWELL database. Not all sites are represented at this time; additional OUR-CRESWELL sites and services will be added to the Center in the future.
You may also stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from OUR-CRESWELL by following the specific instructions in the e-mail you receive. The instructions explain how to stop receiving such e-mails.
Security of your Personal Information
OUR-CRESWELL is committed to protecting the security of your personal information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you provide on computer systems with limited-access, that are located in controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information
OUR-CRESWELL offers a special OUR-CRESWELL Kids area that is specifically designed for children at http://kids.OurCreswell.com/. OUR-CRESWELL Kids has a special privacy statement that informs children and parents about the OUR-CRESWELL Kids area, describes the additional privacy protections provided in this area, and provides children with tips on how to protect themselves online.
The rest of OUR-CRESWELL is intended for users of all ages.
When an OUR-CRESWELL service knows that a user is a child, it will not condition the child's participation in an activity, such as a game or a prize drawing, on the provision of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. Additionally, you have the right, subject to verification that you are the child's parent, to change or revoke the consent choices you have previously made for OUR-CRESWELL services and to review or request the deletion of your child's personal information. You may send such requests, or any questions you have about OUR-CRESWELL's practices with regard to personal information about your child, by clicking here to editor@ourcreswell.com to send e-mail or by sending postal mail to the address in the "Contact Information" section of this Statement.
Use of Cookies
OUR-CRESWELL uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize OUR-CRESWELL's pages, or register with OUR-CRESWELL sites or services, a cookie helps OUR-CRESWELL to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to OUR-CRESWELL, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the OUR-CRESWELL features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the OUR-CRESWELL services or Web sites you visit.
Use of Web Beacons
OUR-CRESWELL Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow OUR-CRESWELL to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. OUR-CRESWELL may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or OUR-CRESWELL Newsletters in order to count how many messages have been opened and acted upon. Web beacons are not used to access your personal information on the OUR-CRESWELL network of sites and services; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about OUR-
CRESWELL Web site usage.
Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. OUR-CRESWELL Web pages may also contain Web beacons placed there by third parties to help determine the effectiveness of our joint promotional or advertising campaigns.
Use of Third Party Ad Networks
The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on OUR-CRESWELL Web pages are displayed by OUR-CRESWELL.
In addition, OUR-CRESWELL allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on OUR-CRESWELL Web pages. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the ad network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.
Changes to this Statement
OUR-CRESWELL will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. When OUR-CRESWELL posts changes to this Statement, you will see the word "updated" next to the Privacy Statement link on the front page of OUR-CRESWELL. If there are material changes to this Statement or in how OUR-CRESWELL will use your personal information, OUR-CRESWELL will prominently post such changes prior to implementing the change. OUR-CRESWELL encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
