COLLECTION
OF INFORMATION & USE THEREOF
It
is Everything But Water's policy to respect and protect the privacy
of visitors to Everything But Water's website. Accordingly, Everything But Water
DOES NOT extract without permission personal information
about its visitors or their computer at any time while
on Everything But Water's website. Everything But Water 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.
Everything But Water
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 subscriptions to the Everything But Water newsletters
or registering with the Everything But Water website. This information
is used internally by Everything But Water to fulfill your requests
and for marketing and research purposes. Everything But Water will
NOT sell, rent or give a visitor's personal information
to any third party unless Everything But Water asks for and receives
the visitor's permission at the time the personal
information is collected. Everything But Water does however, share
aggregate information about the users of Everything But Water's
website with our advertisers, business partners, sponsors
and certain others. As mentioned above, this aggregate
information is used to develop, improve and customize
Everything But Water's website to better serve visitors to our
website. Where EverythingButWater.com's information collection
activities involve children, EverythingButWater.com provides
special privacy protections.
Everything
But Water is committed to protecting the online privacy
of children. In accordance with the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), Everything But Water
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 EverythingButWater.com account, or participating
in any other activity offered through the EverythingButWater.com
site, children under the age of thirteen (13) must
have a parent or legal guardian complete and return
(by mail or fax) a Parental Consent Form to EverythingButWater.com
- Everything But Water, 7353 Greenbriar Parkway, Orlando,
FL 32819; or by fax to: 407.351.0106. 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. Consent may be revoked by completing
a "Everything But Water Revocation of Parental Consent
Form" and sending it to the address or fax number
above.
In
compliance with COPPA, Everything But Water is sensitive about
children consulting with parents or guardians before
furnishing personal information or ordering anything
online. It's also Everything But Water'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). Everything But Water encourages parents/guardians to supervise
and join their children in exploring cyberspace. Everything But Water
is proud of its website and believes that it is suitable
for Everything But Water fans of all ages.
Please
note that if a parent does not permit EverythingButWater.com's
use or collection of personally identifiable information
or has instructed Everything But Water to delete personally identifiable
information, a child's participation in those EverythingButWater.com
activities for which the personally identifiable information
has been requested may not be possible.
Everything But Water
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 Everything But Water 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 Everything But Water's rights or property
or anyone else who may be harmed by such actions or
if required by law.
Everything But Water
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 Everything But Water'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.

SECURITY
The
importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with EverythingButWater.com visitors
is of utmost concern to us. Everything But Water exercises great
care and implements a variety of technologies to make
the Everything But Water website as secure as possible against
unauthorized access and to protect the information
visitors choose to provide to us. Everything But Water periodically
reviews and updates these measures. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be one hundred percent (100%) secure. As a result,
while Everything But Water strives to protect a visitor's personal
information, Everything But Water 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. Everything But Water uses the industry
standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption when
credit card information is transmitted to us.
