Introduction
We at childgarden are committed to respecting your online
privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management
of any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information")
you share with us.
childgarden has established this Online Privacy Policy so
that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your
Personal Information.
Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an
individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or
other physical address and an email address or other contact information,
whether at work or at home. In general, you can visit
childgarden's Web pages without telling us who you are or
revealing any Personal Information about yourself.
If you choose to provide us with your Personal Information on the Web, we
may transfer that Information within childgarden or to
childgarden's third-party service providers, across borders,
and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions
around the world.
childgarden strives to comply with all applicable laws
around the globe that are designed to protect your privacy. Although legal
requirements may vary from country to country, childgarden
intends to adhere to the principles set forth in this Online Privacy Policy
even if, in connection with the above, we transfer your Personal Information
from your country to countries that may not require an "adequate" level of
protection for your Personal Information. In other words, our goal is to
provide protection for your Personal Information no matter where that
Personal Information is collected, transferred, or retained.

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host
names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system
types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed.
Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our
Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does

Notice
Where childgarden collects Personal Information on the web,
we intend to post a purpose statement that explains why Personal Information
will be collected and whether we plan to share such Personal Information outside
of childgarden or those working on childgarden's
behalf. childgarden does not intend to transfer Personal
Information without your consent to third parties who are not bound to act on
childgarden's behalf unless such transfer is legally required.
Choice
You may choose whether or not to provide Personal Information to
childgarden. The notice we intend to provide where
childgarden collects Personal Information on the Web should help
you to make this choice. If you choose not to provide the Personal Information we
request, you can still visit most of childgarden's Web sites,
but you may be unable to access certain options, offers, and services that involve
our interaction with you.
If you chose to have a relationship with childgarden, such as a
contractual or other business relationship or partnership, we will naturally
continue to contact you in connection with that business relationship.
Security
Wherever your Personal Information may be held within childgarden
or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the
Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.
Access/Accuracy
To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, childgarden
wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect Personal Information
from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting childgarden
should you need to update or correct that Information. If for any reason those means are
unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal
Information to privacy@childgarden.com and we will make reasonable efforts to incorporate
the changes in your Personal Information that we hold as soon as practicable.
Third Party Services
Third parties provide certain services available on childgarden.com on childgarden's
behalf. childgarden may provide information, including Personal Information, that
childgarden collects on the Web to third-party service providers to help us
deliver programs, products, information, and services. Service providers are also an important
means by which childgarden maintains its Web site and mailing lists.
childgarden will take reasonable steps to ensure that these third-party service
providers are obligated to protect Personal Information on childgarden's behalf.
childgarden does not intend to transfer Personal Information without your
consent to third parties who are not bound to act on Sun's behalf unless such transfer is
legally required. Similarly, it is against childgarden's policy to sell
Personal Information collected online without consent.
Children's Privacy

Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 13 years of age.

changes prominently on our web site for a reasonable period of time.
