Privacy Statement of www.kriskringle.com. We will abide by the guidelines of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
KrisKringle.com has created this privacy statement to demonstrate our firm and continuing commitment to the privacy of personal information provided by those visiting and interacting with this website. We hold the privacy of your personal information in the highest regard. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.
We recognize the importance of protecting your privacy, and our policy is designed to help you understand how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us, and to help you make informed decisions when using our site. This policy will be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices and our customers’ needs.
Information that is collected
KrisKringle.com does not ask for or collect any credit card information on our site. There are areas of the site in which we sell items through our store front, letters and phone calls from Santa, and the Naughty or Nice page. After all transactions are complete, you will be automatically directed to PayPal to complete the transaction.
We want you to feel comfortable that your children can enjoy www.kriskringle.com without ever submitting any personal information whatsoever. There is one area on the site in which a child can email Santa, but we have stated on the email that you must have a parent’s permission to do so. The email address is used only to send an automatic response letter back to you from Santa himself. We may send a periodic newsletter from Santa. At any time you would like your email removed, please let us know at Santa@kriskringle.com.
Sharing and selling information
We do not share, sell, lend or lease any of the information that uniquely identifies a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone, except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have requested.
What about legally compelled disclosure of information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so; in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service, or to protect the safety of our users and the public.
What about other websites linked to our website?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website, or the information or content contained therein. Often, links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our website.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our website to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link on our website, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.
A special note about children
We will abide by COPPA guidelines and promise that we will:
- Not distribute any personal information whatsoever.
- Not collect any personal information without prior permission from a parent.
- Not entice information through any games or content on the site.
We ask that children under the age of 18 do not email Santa unless they are supervised by a parent, and that all children under the age of 18 do not submit any personal information to us.
If you are a minor, you can use this service only with permission and guidance from your parents or guardians.
