Privacy
Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. We want to make your experience
on the Internet as enjoyable and rewarding as possible, and we want you
to use the Internet's vast array of information, tools, and opportunities
with complete confidence.
We have created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment
to privacy and security. This Privacy Policy describes how Leapfrog Internet
collects information from all end users of Leapfrog Internet's Internet
services (the "Services") - those who access some of our Services
but do not have accounts ("Visitors") as well as those who pay
a monthly service fee to subscribe to the Service ("Members")
- what we do with the information we collect, and the choices Visitors
and Members have concerning the collection and use of such information.
Leapfrog Internet requests that you read this Privacy Policy carefully.
Personal Information Leapfrog Internet Collects and How it is Used
Introduction
Leapfrog Internet collects information in different ways from Visitors
and Members who access to the various parts of our Services and the network
of web sites accessible through our Service. We use this information primarily
to provide you a customized experience as you use our Services. We may
disclose personal information collected if we have received your permission
beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that
such disclosure is required by law. If permission has not been granted
to share your personal information with third parties, we DO NOT share
your information except where required by law, e.g. court-ordered requests
for information.
Registration
Members are asked to provide certain personal information when they sign-up
for our Services including name, address, telephone number, billing information
(such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being
used to access the Services. The personal information collected from Members
during the registration process is used to manage each Member's account
(such as for billing purposes). This information is not shared with third
parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances.
Leapfrog Internet may generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles
from personal information Members provide during registration (such as
the total number, but not the names, of Members).
Online Shopping
At some web sites, you can purchase products and services or register
to receive materials, such as a catalog or new product and service updates.
In many cases, you may be asked to provide contact information, such as
your name, address, email address, phone number, and credit/debit card
information. If you complete an order for someone else, such as an online
gift order sent directly to a recipient, you may be asked to provide information
about the recipient, such as the recipient's name, address, and phone
number. Leapfrog Internet has no control over the third parties' use of
any personal information you provide when placing such an order. Please
exercise care when doing so!
If you order products directly from Leapfrog Internet, we will use the
personal information you provide only to process that order. We do not
share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary
to complete that order.
Testimonials
Leapfrog reserves the right to post on our website and in marketing material
all submitted written testimonials and other communication from our customers,
whether the feedback was solicited by Leapfrog or not, and with or without
specific knowledge or approval of the customer. In all cases, Leapfrog
will mask the identity of the customer by using only initials to identify
the author of the communication unless Leapfrog obtains specific written
permission from the customer to use additional identifying attributes,
such as first name, last name, hometown, etc.
Responses to Email Inquiries
When Visitors or Members send email inquiries to Leapfrog Internet, the
return email address is used to answer the email inquiry we receive. Leapfrog
Internet does not use the return email address for any other purpose and
does not share the return email address with any third party.
Voluntary Customer Surveys
We may periodically conduct both business and individual customer surveys.
We encourage our customers to participate in these surveys because they
provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types
of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information
and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is
conducted by a third party. Participation in our customer surveys is voluntary.
We take the information we receive from individuals responding to our
Customer Surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other
Leapfrog Internet customers to create broader, generic responses to the
survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education,
employment, industry sector or other demographic information). We then
use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services
to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally
identifying information may be shared with third parties.
Special Cases
It is Leapfrog Internet's policy not to use or share the personal information
about Visitors of Members in ways unrelated to the ones described above
without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit
such unrelated uses. However, Leapfrog Internet may disclose personal
information about Visitors or Members, or information regarding your use
of the Services or web sites accessible through our Services, for any
reason if, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to
do so, including: to satisfy laws, such as the Electronic Communications
Privacy Act, regulations, or governmental or legal requests for such information;
to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact or bring
legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy
or other user policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect
Leapfrog Internet and our Members.
"Cookies" and How Leapfrog Internet Uses Them
A "cookie" is a small data file that can be placed on your hard
drive when you visit certain web sites. Leapfrog Internet may use cookies
to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes
to improve the products and services we provide and to manage our telecommunications
networks. These cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your
customer information. Additionally, be aware that if you visit non-Leapfrog
Internet web sites where you are prompted to log-in or that are customizable,
you may be required to accept cookies. Advertisers may also use their
own cookies. We do not control use of these cookies and expressly disclaim
responsibility for information collected through them.
Leapfrog Internet's Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting children's privacy is especially important to us. It is our
policy to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of
1998 and all other applicable laws. For further information about tips,
tools, age appropriate or kid-friendly websites and how to report online
trouble, please visit www.getnetwise.org. Finally, Leapfrog Internet recommends
that children ask a parent for permission before sending personal information
to Leapfrog Internet, or to anyone else online.
Public Forums
Please remember that any information you may disclose in our Member Directory,
or other public areas of our websites or the Internet, becomes public
information. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal
information in these public areas.
Leapfrog Internet's Commitment to Data Security
Services and websites we sponsor have security measures in place to protect
the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our
network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will
prevent third-party "hackers" from illegally obtaining this
information. We do fully punish those who do compromise the security of
integrity of any Leapfrog Internet property to the fullest extent allowable
under the law.
