THE INFORMATION COLLECTION, USE AND DISSEMINATION PRACTICES OF RIDGEWOOD ENTITIES AND THIS WEBSITE.

1. Collection of Information.

1.1 Survey Information.

Ridgewood Entities LLC and this website (or “RWE”) collect information from individuals by various methods, including, but not limited to, when an individual voluntarily completes a survey, order form, donation form or a registration page either online or offline, or by means of online or offline surveys, order forms, donation or registration pages operated by Third Parties (collectively, a “Survey”). (As used herein, “online” means using the Internet, including the Websites, and related technologies, and “offline” means by methods other than online, including in person, in the postal mail, using telephones and cell phones, and other similar means.) In the Surveys, RWE or a Third Party (a “Third Party”) may ask an individual to provide various information to RWE, which may include his or her name, email address, street address, zip code, telephone numbers (including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary range, education and marital status, occupation, social security number, employment information, personal and online interests, and such other information as may be requested from time to time (together, “Survey Information”). RWE may also collect information concerning an individual from another source and uses that information in combination with information provided from this web site. Completing the Surveys is completely voluntary, and individuals are under no obligation to provide Survey Information to RWE or Third Party, but an individual may receive incentives from RWE or a Third Party in exchange for providing Survey Information to RWE.

1.2 Site Membership or Registration.

To the extent registration is required to receive email and possibly postal communications from RWE, this Privacy Policy also applies to consumers that have agreed to receive e-mail marketing from RWE, whether at our Website, via email, on Third Party websites or otherwise. We may collect information in certain portions of our Website, where guests provide content submissions and suggestions or participate in interactive online activities (i.e., by way of responding to questions and surveys, community listings, ratings, searches and comparison searches, bidding, purchasing, chat, games, or bulletin boards, social networks, groups, event pages, etc.). The personal profile information you submit to RWE remains your property, but by submitting that information to RWE, you grant RWE, the right to use that information for RWE’s internal marketing and solicitation purposes. RWE may also use such information for content improvement and feedback purposes. We never share the personal information that you supply to RWE, other than to allow Third Party service providers such as RWE’s contracted merchandise vendors, donation management vendors, email vendors, etc. to provide contracted services on behalf of RWE. RWE reserves the right to release current or past member information in the event RWE believes that the membership is being or has been used in violation of our rules or to commit unlawful acts, or if the information is subpoenaed. By agreeing to these terms, you hereby consent to disclosure of any record or communication to any Third Party when RWE, in its sole discretion, determines the disclosure to be appropriate in accordance with this provision.

“Subscription” occurs when an end-user registers for RWE’s information, services, or offers either via registration at our website, via co-registration at a marketing partner’s website, or via permission pass / opt-in mailing. RWE collects personally identifiable information about our subscribers, based on: information gathered at the time of registration, subscriber interaction and response to subsequent electronic mailings and website use. This information enables us to better tailor our content to subscribers’ needs.

1.3 Other Information.

Other occasions when RWE obtains information from individuals include (1) when an individual is making a claim for a prize or seeking to redeem an incentive offered by RWE or by a Third Party, (2) when an individual requests assistance through RWE’s customer service department, and (3) when an individual voluntarily subscribes to a RWE service or newsletter (together, “Other Information”).

1.4 Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Info Collected Using Technology.

RWE may use cookie and web beacon technology to associate certain Internet-related information about an individual with information about the individual in our database. Additionally, RWE may use other new and evolving sources of information in the future (together, “Technology Information”).

(a) Cookies.

A cookie is a small amount of data stored on the hard drive of the individual’s computer that allows RWE to identify the individual with his or her corresponding data that resides in RWE’s database.

RWE tracks information related to the electronic mailings and web pages viewed by users and subscribers, as well as the hyperlinks clicked by subscribers, while viewing our emails or visiting our websites.

RWE will never knowingly collect any personal information about children under the age of 13.

Because it does not collect such information, RWE has no such information to use or to disclose to Third Parties. RWE has designed this policy in order to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).

1.8 Credit Card Information.

RWE may in certain cases collect credit card numbers and related information, such as the expiration date of the card (“Credit Card Information”) when an individual places an order from, or makes a donation to RWE.

However, will not share the personally identifiable information that you supply to RWE, other than to allow Third Party service providers such as RWE’s contracted merchandise vendors, donation management vendors, email vendors, etc. to provide contracted services on behalf of RWE.

2.3 Solicited Email.

RWE only sends email to individuals who have agreed on the Websites to receive email from RWE or to individuals who have agreed on Third Party websites to receive email from Third Parties such as RWE.

2.4 Targeted Advertising.

RWE may use Individual Information to target advertising to an individual. When an individual is using the Internet, RWE may use Technology Information (see also Section 2.6 below) to associate an individual with that person’s Individual Information, and RWE may attempt to show advertising for products, services and information in which the person has expressed an interest in the Surveys, indicated an interest by means of Technology Information, and otherwise. RWE may, at its discretion, target advertising by using email, direct mail, telephones, cell phones, and other means of communication to provide promotional offers.

RWE stores the Individual Information in a database on its own computers, or licensed third party computers. Our computers have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under RWE’s control.
