PRIVACY POLICY
Thank you for visiting www.EnergySheriffs.com
This Privacy Policy sets forth the online information practices of Energy Sheriffs, LLC (“Energy Sheriffs, LLC”), including:
* The kinds of information we collect;
* The ways in which we use the information that we collect;
* The choices you have with regard to the information we collect; and
* Our pledge to have reasonable security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control.
SPECIAL POLICY WITH
REGARD TO INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER THIRTEEN
Energy Sheriffs, LLC is especially sensitive
to privacy issues concerning children. Energy Sheriffs, LLC.com is not targeted
specifically to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly
collect personally-identifiable information from any child under the age
of 13.
Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of
children is especially important. For that reason, we support and comply with
the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and other laws,
and we do not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information from
children without parental consent. We recognize the
importance of safeguarding the privacy of children and encourage parents
to check and monitor their children’s use of online activities
regularly. We will not condition a child’s participation in an online
activity on the child providing more Personally Identifiable Information
than is reasonably necessary for participation in such activity. References to “child” or
“children” throughout this Policy refer to children under the age of
thirteen (13). “Parent” is used to refer to both parents and legal guardians.
Collection and Use of
Personally Identifiable Information About Children
Children may access some
content on the Site, including certain games and activities, without
providing any Personally Identifiable Information. To register for our
newsletter, post to user forums, play certain online games, enter
contests and sweepstakes, and to participate in other activities that
may involve the collection of Personally Identifiable Information,
children must first enter their date of birth and provide a parent’s
email address. An email will be sent to parents of children alerting them to
the child’s registration.
When children register for
our newsletter, Energy Sheriffs, LLC will send an email to the parent offering the
opportunity to opt out of allowing his or her child to participate. The parent may submit his
or her determination to opt out to Energy Sheriffs, LLC via a web form. If the parent does not opt
out within forty-eight (48) from when we send out such an email, we
will assume the parent has consented to the use or collection of
Personally Identifiable Information from the child.
Energy
Sheriffs, LLC will collect the child’s email address and use this
information to send children newsletters and important information
regarding the Site (including changes to our terms, conditions and
policies).
Before allowing children to participate in online activities
that involve the collection of Personally Identifiable Information,
including certain games, sweepstakes, contests and user forums, Energy Sheriffs, LLC will send an email to
parents requesting their verifiable consent. The parent may submit his
or her consent to Energy Sheriffs, LLC via a web form. Energy Sheriffs, LLC will send a confirmation
email to the parent’s email address confirming receipt of consent. Once the consent is
received from the Parent, each child who registers for these activities
will be asked to enter information such as: date of birth, first name,
a password, address, email address and other information that the child
may choose to submit. Personally Identifiable Information of children will be
deleted from postings to user forums before being posted on the Site. Energy Sheriffs, LLC uses this information to
notify contest winners, allow children to play games, allow children to
access and post to user forums, send other marketing communications and
allow children to participate in our promotions.
Energy Sheriffs, LLC currently does not
disclose Personally Identifiable Information about children to third
parties, as defined by COPPA. We may disclose such information to service
providers that provide services to us, such as support Site operations
and online services and other services.
Collection and Use of
Non-Personally Identifiable Information About Children.
Energy Sheriffs, LLC may collect
non-personally identifiable information or Aggregate Information from
children in the manner described in the section above entitled
“Non-Personally Identifiable Information.” Because Aggregate
Information does not personally identify any child, we may use such
information for any purpose.
Parental Rights.
COPPA provides that
parents of children can: (1) review a description of the specific types of
Personally Identifiable Information collected from your child; (2) refuse to allow any further
use, maintenance in retrievable form or future collection of Personally
Identifiable Information about your child; (3) obtain any Personally
Identifiable Information collected from your child; and (4) delete Personally
Identifiable Information collected from your child that is contained on
the Site. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us by writing us info@EnergySheriffs.com
Energy Sheriffs, LLC will send a confirmation
email to your last known email address of the changes to or deletion of
your child’s Personally Identifiable Information.
