This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this Website, including your rights relative to that information. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this Website. If you are unwilling to accept the terms and conditions of the Privacy Policy, we ask that you not use the Website. Your ConsentBy using this Website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Consumer Products Company Terms & Conditions of Use (the "Agreement"). Whenever you submit information via this Website, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. About ChildrenProtecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. This Website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information via this Website from visitors in this age group, and no part of our Website is designed to attract anyone under age 13. Please do not communicate with or contact us if you are under age 13. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet. Information You ProvideThis Website actively collects information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via email, feedback forms, and/or chat rooms. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, email address, phone number, and so on). Some areas of this Website may ask you to submit personally identifiable information in order for you to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions, Ask the Experts, Share Your Story) or to participate in a particular activity (such as sweepstakes or other promotions). You will be informed what information is required and what information is optional. Never provide your password, telephone numbers, or home address to anyone online. Be very careful about responding to solicitations for interviews or research. Note however that Consumer Products Company editors might invite you to respond to such solicitations from time to time. Never divulge any private or personal information about another person online. That includes the person's real name or address, email address, and any other personal information that the person has not asked you to make public. Do not forward or post private messages that someone has sent you unless you have his or her permission. Only send email to another Consumer Products Company member if he or she has given you express permission. Please do not solicit other people's personal information. The email address you provide is for our use only, unless you provide it to other members. By enabling your username as "clickable" and allowing other members to email you directly by clicking on your username — or by posting your address in a message on our boards — you take full responsibility for the email received. Consumer Products Company does not monitor such communications and will not intervene between members who use this function. The only way to keep from receiving undesirable email is to disable the "clickable" function and not share your email address. Members of the Consumer Products Company Community sometimes organize donations, gift exchanges, reunions, and other offline activities. Such arrangements are private and are not sponsored, vetted, or hosted by Consumer Products Company. You participate at your own risk. Please see Consumer Products Company's Terms & Conditions of Use.
