Q1
What types of information
the Giving Game site collecting, and how is the site collecting
it?
Some of the services on our site are offered without our collecting
any personally identifiable information from you. You can
surf the Giving Game Web site and view much of our terrific
content anonymously.
Information You Provide
There are a few activities on our sites where the collection
of personally identifiable information is necessary. Those
activities include things like entering a contest or sweepstakes,
making a purchase, tracking a Giving Game card, or contacting
us. When personally identifiable information is collected,
you will know because you will have to fill out a form. For
most activities, we collect only your first name, e-mail address,
city, state, and zip code. When you make a purchase, we also
collect your street and billing addresses, your phone number,
and credit card information. Depending on what you purchase,
we may also need to collect other personal information, like
your clothing size.
Information Collected from You
with Technology
The Giving Game site collects some information about you using
technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you that
it is being collected. For instance, when you come to our
site your IP address is collected so that we know where to
send information you are requesting. An IP address is often
associated with the place from which you enter the Internet
like your ISP (Internet service provider), your company, or
your university. This information is not personally identifiable.
The Giving Game Site uses information collected through technology
to make our sites more interesting and useful to you. This
includes helping advertisers on our site design advertisements
our Guests might like. We normally don't combine this type
of information with personally identifiable information. However,
we will combine this information with personally identifiable
information to identify a visitor in order to enforce compliance
with our terms of use or to protect our service, site, Guests,
or others .
What Are Cookies, and How Does The LEAGUE Use Them?
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site sends to
your computer while you are viewing the Web site. These pieces
of information allow the Web site to remember important information
that will make your use of that site more useful. The LEAGUE and other Internet companies use cookies for a variety of
purposes. For instance, we uses cookies to remember and process
the items in your shopping cart.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a
cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies.
You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator
or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different,
so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way
to modify your cookies. If you turn cookies off, you won't
have access to many Giving Game features that make your Web
experience more efficient -- like the features mentioned above
-- and some of our services will not function properly.
Q2
How does The LEAGUE use the personally
identifiable information that has been collected?
The LEAGUE uses personally identifiable
information in a limited number of ways. We use the information
to complete transactions. For instance, if you purchase a
t-shirt, we use your information to process your order, or
if you contact us for help we will use the information to
contact you. We use information collected to notify you if
you've won a game or contest. Information we collect is used
to send you e-mail updates and newsletters about our site.
Q3
Does The LEAGUE share information
with companies or other organizations that are not part of
the Giving Game site?
No, your personal information will not be shared with outside
individuals, groups or other companies without your consent.
One of the most valuable assets of our business is you. We
aren't in the business of selling information about our Guests.
However, we will share information for security reasons.
Companies That Are "Standing
in the Shoes" of The LEAGUE
Sometimes we hire companies to help us deliver products or
services, like a shipping company that delivers a package.
In those instances, we need to share your information with
them. These companies are basically "standing in the
shoes" of The LEAGUE and they are allowed to use the
information only to deliver the product or service.
Third-Party Advertisers
Once you've clicked on an advertisement and have left the
Giving Game site, our privacy policy no longer applies. You
must read the privacy policy of the advertiser to see how
your personal information will be handled on their site.
Organizations That Help Protect
the Security and Safety of Our Guests and Our Site
We will give out personal information as required by law,
for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena; to
enforce our Terms of Service, or site or game rules; or to
protect the safety and security of Guests and our site.
Q4
What choices do I have about The LEAGUE collecting, using, and sharing my information?
It is possible for you to use much of our site without giving
us any personally identifiable information. You can request
at any time that The LEAGUE not send future e-mail to you either by unsubscribing from
the communication or by contacting us at givinggame@leagueworldwide.org.
Also, as mentioned above, there are ways to limit the information
collected through technology -- though some of our features
won't work if you decide to do this.
Q5
What type of security does The LEAGUE provide?
The importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with our Guests is of utmost concern
to us. There are some things that you can do to help protect
the security of your information as well. For instance, never
give out your Password, since this is what is used to access
your account information. Also remember to sign out of your
account and close your browser window when you finish surfing
the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't
have access to your information.
Q6
How can I access my account information?
You can access the personally identifiable information you
gave us during registration at our member services center.
Simply log-on with your screen
name and password click on the "Member
Services" link, found in the left page navigation.
There are instructions on the log-on page to help you recover
your password if you've forgotten it.
You can also contact us via e-mail by clicking "Contact
Us" in the footer on any Giving Game page
and send an e-mail directly to givinggame@leagueworldwide.org.
Please include information in the e-mail that will help us
identify your account so we can assist you with your inquiry
or request.
Q7
Whom do I contact with questions
or concerns about this privacy policy?
If you need further assistance, please send an e-mail with
your questions or comments to givinggame@leagueworldwide.org.
