1. INFORMATION COLLECTED

The only personal information we collect from children 12 years old and younger is a parent’s or guardian’s valid email address. This information is used to send a confirmation email to activate their Secret Bear World account.

For children who are 13 years and older, we request either the child’s email address or their parent’s/guardian’s valid email address in order to activate their account.

Surveys and polls on our website help us to create new events, improve the design and content, and to offer products and contests in the Secret Bear World. For this, we may ask users to provide additional information that is not personally identifiable, such as favorite movie or favorite color.

Regarding computer stuff, our computer technology automatically collects some non-personally identifiable computer information, such as the computer operating system (for example, Windows Vista or Window XP or Mac OS), the user’s IP Address, the web browser (for example, Internet Explorer), and the Internet Service Provider.

The exception to the above is when an user purchases a Gold Bear Card membership or purchases merchandise from our Secret Bear Shop. Then, we will collect personal and financial information from members in order to process payments. As usual, we respect your personal privacy, and any and all customer information is kept confidential other than for the purpose of processing payments to Secret Bear World or fulfilling/shipping your merchandise order.

Another exception may be when a child wins a contest on SecretBearWorld.com and we need to mail the prize to the child. We will send a bear mail to the child’s mail box on SecretBearWorld.com with details of how their parent should contact us to redeem the prize.

To ensure the safety of the children playing on SecretBearWorld.com, we may disclose information when required to do so by law (for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena).
