COLLECTION OF INFORMATION & USE THEREOF
We are committed to protecting our users
privacy. To that end, we offer this statement to inform our users of how we
define, gather and utilize personal information. We reserve the right, at our
sole discretion, to change, modify or otherwise alter this policy at any time.
Such changes and/or modifications shall become effective immediately upon the
posting thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, we may occasionally notify
you by email about changes to the Site or provide notices of changes by
displaying notices or links to notices to you generally on the Site. Please
review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site following the
posting of changes and/or modifications will constitute your acceptance of the
revised privacy policy. For your information, this page was last updated on
January 1, 2002.
It is LongIslandJam.com's policy to respect and
protect the privacy of visitors to LongIslandJam.com. Accordingly,
LongIslandJam.com DOES NOT extract without permission personal information
about its visitors or their computer at any time while on a
LongIslandJam.com's website. LongIslandJam.com will, however, analyze
information about our visitors as a group to make our website better, but
visitors are not individually identified when we do this.
LongIslandJam.com will collect personal
information such as names, home addresses, e-mail addresses, age, etc., but
only when a visitor voluntarily gives it to us in the process of ordering
products, entering contests or sweepstakes, or registering with
LongIslandJam.com. This information is used internally by LongIslandJam.com to
fulfill your requests and for marketing and research purposes.
LongIslandJam.com will NOT sell, rent or give a visitor's personal information
to any third party unless LongIslandJam.com asks for and receives the
visitor's permission at the time the personal information is collected.
LongIslandJam.com does however, share aggregate information about the users of
LongIslandJam.com with our advertisers, business partners, sponsors and
certain others. As mentioned above, this aggregate information is used to
develop, improve and customize LongIslandJam.com to better serve visitors to
our website. Where LongIslandJam.com's information collection activities
involve children, LongIslandJam.com provides special privacy protections.
LongIslandJam.com is committed to protecting
the online privacy of children. In accordance with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), LongIslandJam.com will not
knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under
the age of thirteen (13) without first obtaining parental consent. Prior to
providing any personally identifiable information (your name, email address,
address, phone number etc.), either by placing an order for merchandise,
setting up a LongIslandJam.com site account, entering a contest or sweepstakes
(if eligible), or participating in any other activity offered through
LongIslandJam.com, children under the age of thirteen (13) must have a parent
or legal guardian complete and return (by mail) a Parental Consent Form to
LongIslandJam.com. The consent form states that the child's "Parent"
or "Legal Guardian", by his or her signature, consents to the
collection and transfer of the child's personally identifiable information.
You may revoke consent by completing a "LongIslandJam.com Revocation of
Parental Consent Form" and sending it in.
In compliance with COPPA, LongIslandJam.com is
sensitive about children consulting with parents or guardians before
furnishing personal information or ordering anything online. It's also
LongIslandJam.com's intention to adhere to the Children's Advertising Review
Unit (CARU) Guidelines on Internet advertising with its special sensitivities
regarding solicitations to children under thirteen (13). LongIslandJam.com
encourages parents/guardians to supervise and join their children in exploring
cyberspace. LongIslandJam.com is proud of its website and believes that it is
suitable for people of all ages.
Occasionally, LongIslandJam.com may ask,
on a voluntary basis and with prior parental permission, if appropriate, for
personal information to provide to sponsors of particular activities and/or
products. This will be made clear in each individual case where we have
third-party sponsors. In the event children under the age of thirteen (13) are
eligible, with parental consent, to participate in contests, sweepstakes or
other activities offered through our site, we will only collect and use
information (e.g., email address, mailing address, name, age) to the extent
that it is necessary to administer the activity. We will never require that,
as a condition of participation, a child disclose more information than is
necessary to participate in an activity.
Please note that if a parent does not permit
LongIslandJam.com's use or collection of personally identifiable information
or has instructed LongIslandJam.com to delete personally identifiable
information, a child's participation in those LongIslandJam.com activities for
which the personally identifiable information has been requested may not be
possible.
LongIslandJam.com will not disclose information
collected from children under the age of thirteen (13) (or from adults for
that matter) to third parties unless indicated otherwise or in special cases
where LongIslandJam.com has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to
identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing
injury to or interference (whether intentionally or unintentionally) with
LongIslandJam.com's rights or property or anyone else who may be harmed by
such actions or if required by law.
LongIslandJam.com recommends that
parents/guardians monitor and supervise the online activities of their
children and to consider using available parental control tools, which can
prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other personal
information without parental permission. Visitors to a LongIslandJam.com’s
website who are under thirteen (13) years old should not be submitting any
personal information like their name, address, e-mail address, phone number
etc. without a parent's or guardian's permission.

when, and to whom to release information online. Additionally, We will allow

variety of technologies to make the LongIslandJam.com website as secure as

these measures. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be one hundred percent (100%) secure. As a result, while
LongIslandJam.com strives to protect a visitor's personal information,
LongIslandJam.com can not ensure or warrant the security of any information
transmitted to us or from our online products or services, and a visitor does
so at his/her own risk. LongIslandJam.com uses the industry standard, SSL
(secure socket layer) encryption when credit card information is transmitted
to us.
