Privacy Policy
At ToneTeen.net, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We firmly believe
that electronic security and privacy are necessary for the continued success of
the Internet. In support of this, we only use the personal information that you
provide to create a more personalized and entertaining experience for you, in
accordance with the terms outlined below.
KID'S POLICY
(individuals under 13 years of age)
Tone Teen is committed to protecting the safety of children online. Individuals
under 13 years of age are not permitted to register with this site. In compliance
with the Children's Privacy Protection Act of 1998, Tone Teen will never knowingly
request or use personal information from children under 13 years of age without
prior parental consent.
INFORMATION WE GATHER
Generally, the information we gather on our website falls into two categories:
(1) information you supply when you register an account, sign up for our newsletter,
participate in sweepstakes, contests, surveys and promotions, or send us correspondence,
and (2) tracking information collected as you navigate through our site. Third-party
providers featured on or linked to our website, such as vendors of products and
services offered through our site, may gather the same kinds of information about
you.
When you sign up for an account, your email address is collected.
Depending on the information you provide in your profile, we may also collect:
your name, email address, gender, height, age, and weight.
Information that you enter from our forms (like your food, exercise, weight,
and goals) are stored by Tone Teen.
From time to time, we also may offer contests or other promotions involving
marketing or advertising partners. If you choose to participate in one of these
contests or promotions, you'll have to provide some information about yourself
(such as name, address, and email address). Generally, we use this information
to verify eligibility and to notify winners. We may share this information with
co-sponsors of the contest or other promotional partners, but we will always identify
that another party is involved. We don't control these third parties' privacy
practices, and our Privacy Policy does not apply to their collection and use of
personal information. We urge you to review their privacy policies and learn how
they will use the information before participating. If you don't want us to collect
the information requested in the promotion, or to provide it to our co-sponsors
or partners, please do not participate in the contest or promotion.
Aggregate Information
To help us serve your needs better, we use "cookies" to store and sometimes
track user information. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your
browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie contains
a unique number that allows our site to identify your computer. The help function
on most browsers contains information on how to set your browser to notify you
before accepting cookies or to disable cookies entirely. However, if you don't
accept cookies, you won't be able to take advantage of various features on our
site that are available to other visitors. Occasionally, you may receive cookies
from our advertisers. ToneTeen.net does not control and is not responsible for
these cookies.
When you use our site, we may also collect your browser type, access time,
and/or Internet Protocol ("IP") address, and keep records of this information.
Your IP address is a number that is used by computers connected to the Internet
to identify your computer so that data (such as the web pages you request) can
be sent to you. Your IP address does not tell us who you are. Like the IP address,
none of this other information identifies you personally either; we collect it
for aggregate reporting on site activity that we, and our advertisers, may use.
For example, we may want to know how long the average user spends on our site,
which pages or features get the most attention, and the like. The aggregate information
helps to understand our audience and confirm the value of the advertising on our
website.
How Your Information Will Be Used
We may disclose your personal information when we believe disclosure is (i)
required by law or necessary for compliance with legal process, or necessary,
in our good faith belief, in order to conform with the edicts of the law or comply
with legal process; (ii) necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements
between you and us; (iii) necessary to protect the rights, safety or interests
of other visitors of our site or other members of the public; and/or (iv) necessary
to protect the rights or interests of ToneTeen.net or its partners, sponsors or
affiliates. You acknowledge and agree to disclosure in each of the foregoing circumstances.
SECURITY
The personally identifiable information we collect is securely stored within our
database, and we use standard, industry-wide procedures such as encryption, firewalls
and SSL (Secure Socket Layers) for protecting your information. However, as effective
as encryption technology is, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee
the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply
won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. And, of
course, any information you include in a message you post to any message board,
discussion group, or other public posting area on our sites is available to anyone
with Internet access. If you don't want people to know your name or email address,
for example, make sure not to include it in any message you post publicly.
MODIFICIATIONS
ToneTeen.net reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy. If we need to change
our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, we'll post the changes or an amended
Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the site or any of the services offered
therein following any such posting will constitute your acceptance of all changes.
In addition, by visiting any of our sites, you agree that your visit, and any
dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
Please read both carefully before using or registering with our site.
