Personal Identification Information
Santa.com may request personal identification information from you in connection with your use of Santa.com features and activities. We will collect personal identification information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us, and use it for the purposes of those features and activities. Santa.com will never intentionally disclose any personal identification information about you as an individual user to any third party without having received your permission, except as otherwise stated in this policy.

Santa.com may also use cookie technology and Web beacons (discussed in detail below) to improve your experience of activities, including remembering your preferences, customizing the content that you see or authenticating your access to your personal information. We may also contact you to confirm your registration, about your account status and regarding changes to this Privacy Policy. If you give us your permission, we may also use personal identification information for internal or external marketing and promotional purposes.

We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security, or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may also transfer user information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of related assets or corporate division or other fundamental corporate change.

Please note that if you give out personal information online (in one of our blogs, message boards or forums) that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these forums. You disclose such information at your own risk.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your information and password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your registration, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your registration or password.

Non-Personal Identification Information
Santa.com collects non-personal identification information through the use of:

"Cookie" technology: A "cookie" is an element of data that a web site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system.

"IP address tracking": An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from our Sites, our servers log your IP address.

"Web beacons": A Web beacon, or "clear gif", is a small graphic image on a webpage or web-based document that a web site can use to determine information about a user.

Non-personal identification information might include the browser you use, the operating systems, the Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information. Our systems may also automatically gather information about the areas you visit and search terms you utilize and about the links you may select from within Santa.com to other areas of the World Wide Web or elsewhere online.

We use such information to better manage your Santa.com experience, and, in the aggregate, to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided. This way we know which areas are favorites, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve.

We may share this aggregate statistical information with our partners, suppliers and other third parties, but we will not share any individual names, personal navigational or other personal information.
