Strongsville
Hobby Shop is
committed to providing the best online family entertainment within a
trusted environment. Privacy and safety issues are important to us,
and to that end we're pleased to offer a variety of links to
Internet resources. The five links
below should help make Internet surfing a fun and enjoyable
experience for your entire family.
PRIVACY
POLICY The Internet, Privacy, and Strongsville Hobby Shop The Internet
contains a wealth of information, unfortunately, it may also contain
personal details about you that you don't want everyone to know. For
example, your real name (lots of people on the Internet use aliases,
alter egos or nicknames), street address, phone number, or e-mail
address. When you go online, sites you visit may be gathering
information about you without your knowledge. At Strongsville Hobby
Shop we
strive to help our customers protect their privacy while using our
services. Strongsville
Hobby Shop Privacy Policy Strongsville
Hobby Shop's policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. This
policy statement tells you how we collect information from you and
how we use it. Using the Internet should be a fun experience and we
want to help you make it so. The information
you provide to Strongsville Hobby Shop is not shared. Be assured that
Strongsville Hobby Shop will not
disclose your personal information to third parties without your
consent. Strongsville Hobby Shop may disclose user information in special cases
when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone
who may be causing injury to or interference with (either
intentionally or unintentionally) Strongsville Hobby Shop rights or property,
other Strongsville Hobby Shop customers, or anyone else that could be harmed by such
activities. Strongsville Hobby Shop may disclose user information when we believe
in good faith that the law requires it. There are cases
where Strongsville Hobby Shop may ask you for personal information such as your
name, email address, and birth date. For example, we request
personal information for
online shopping or transactions. Strongsville Hobby Shop
needs to collect this information for tracking/verifying compliance with
Strongsville Hobby Shop policies as well as
federal, state and local laws and/or for editorial and feedback
solicitation purposes. In case you change your mind or some personal information may change (such as your zip code), we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove the personal data you give us. You can do this by contacting our Customer Support organization at webmaster@strongsvillehobby.com Opting-Out Information provided at the time an order is placed or by a customer who is 13 years of age or over may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by Strongsville Hobby Shop and our affiliates or companies that have been prescreened by Strongsville Hobby Shop. To keep you in control of your personal information and the communications directed to you, we allow you to opt-out of receiving communications from Strongsville Hobby Shop about new features or services, and receiving communications about offers from third-party companies that offer a product or service that we think would be of value to you. If a customer objects to such use for any reason, he/she may stop that use -- either by e-mail request to webmaster@strongsvillehobby.com . Information
provided when purchasing products from our online stores may
be used for marketing and promotional purposes and is subject to the
opt-out processes described on, or linked to, each order form. Policies for
Kids (Individuals Under 13 years of Age) Strongsville
Hobby Shop encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their
children and to participate in the activities offered on the sites.
No information should be submitted to or posted at Strongsville
Hobby Shop by
guests under 13 years of age without the consent of their parent or
guardian. Unless
otherwise disclosed during collection, Strongsville Hobby Shop does not provide
any personally identifying information, regardless of its source, to
any third party for any purpose whatsoever from our customers under 13
years of age. All customers receive an e-mail confirming their
order. In addition, when a customer under 13 places an order, he/she
is required to provide the e-mail address of his/her parent or
guardian and that parent or guardian receives an e-mail alerting
them to that order. The parent or guardian must validate the
account, as described in the e-mail, in order for the potential
customer to continue with the order process. No information
collected from customer under 13 years of age is used for any
marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever, either inside or
outside Strongsville Hobby Shop except as explicitly stated during registration
for contests or promotions (and in that case, the information
collected is used only for the specific contest or promotion). Although
customers under 13 years of age may be allowed to participate in some contests
and promotions, if such a customer wins, notification and prizes are
sent to the parents or guardians identified in the initial
registration process. Publication of contest winners names, ages, or
images for individuals under 13 require parental or guardian
consent. We do not allow
customers under 13 years of age to be listed in our customer directory or
to receive direct marketing communications from Strongsville Hobby
Shop or to be
sent our third-party offers. Policies for
Teens (Individuals 13-17 Years of Age) Teens are
required to provide the e-mail address of a parent or guardian and a
notification message is sent to the parent or guardian of all
customers who are 13 to 17 years of age which identifies the information
supplied at registration and allows the parent or guardian to be
aware of and participate in the customer's online experience. Use of IP
Address An IP address
is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that
"serve up" Web pages -- automatically identify your
computer by its IP address. When customer
orders from pages on our site,
our servers log the guests' IP addresses. We do not normally link IP
addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a
customer's session will be logged, but the customer remains anonymous to us.
We can and will use IP addresses to identify a customer when we feel it
is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of
service or to protect our service, site, customers or others. Some services
within Strongsville Hobby Shop, such as certain message boards, may display IP
addresses along with the message poster's name and message. Please
review each service prior to use and only use those that disclose
information you are comfortable with sharing. Use of
Cookies What are
cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers
to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies
make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while
you're at our site. We never save passwords or credit card
information in cookies. The use of cookies is an industry standard
-- you'll find them at most major Web sites. By showing how
and when guests use a site, cookies help us see which areas are
popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site
are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed.
This information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use the
information from cookies to provide services better tailored to our
users needs. Strongsville
Hobby Shop has one primary use for its cookies. We use cookies to track user
trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve
areas of the Strongsville Hobby Shop service that our customers find valuable. While
this activity depends on the use of a "cookie," visitors to
Strongsville Hobby Shop always have the option of disabling cookies
via their browser preferences. Information from cookies is sometimes
attached to messages sent to our Customer Service department. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, note that some parts of the Strongsville Hobby Shop service will not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse cookies. For example, you may have difficulty completing shopping transactions, entering contests. Links to
Other Sites Visitors should be
aware that when you are on Strongsville Hobby Shop, you could be directed to
other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other
sites from Strongsville Hobby Shop pages that take you outside our service. For
example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement or an
Strongsville Hobby Shop search result, the "click" may
take you off the Strongsville Hobby Shop site. These other sites may send their own cookies to users,
collect data or solicit personal information. Please keep in
mind that whenever you give out personal information online --- for
example, via message boards or chat --- that information can be
collected and used by people you don't know. While Strongsville
Hobby Shop strives to protect its visitor's/customer's personal information and privacy, we
cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online
and you do so at your own risk. Strongsville
Hobby Shop's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation
of the Internet, and therefore beyond Strongsville Hobby Shop's control, and is
not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or
governmental regulation. Security The importance
of security for all personally identifiable information associated
with our customer's is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care
in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to
our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet
can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information, Strongsville Hobby Shop can't ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from
our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk.
Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure
its security on our systems. When credit card information is
transmitted we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer)
encryption. Strongsville
Hobby Shop will
never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or
email. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy
of your passwords and any account information. Remember to
sign out of your Strongsville Hobby Shop account and close your browser window
when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others
cannot access your personal information and correspondence if your
computer is accessible to others or if you share a computer with
someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a
library or internet café. Your
Acceptance of These Terms By using this
site, you signify your assent to the Strongsville Hobby Shop Privacy Policy. If
you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our sites. Your
continued use of the Strongsville Hobby Shop sites following the posting of
changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. Last Updated 5/13/00
