This privacy policy discloses how we collect, protect, and use information you provide us online, as well as how we protect children’s privacy and sets forth the terms of use of this site. By using the pages on this site, you are accepting the practices described in the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
If our policy practices or terms of use change in the future, we will let you know by posting the policy changes on our website. However, we will treat all personal information we collect in accordance with the privacy notice in effect at the time the information is collected.
Caryn International’s online properties comprise of, but are not limited to, all pages found under www.caryninternational.com.
DATA COLLECTION
Caryn International uses its best efforts to respect and protect the privacy of its online visitors. At our site, we do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. This means we do not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our site. Caryn International only gathers personally identifiable data, such as names, addresses, zip/postal codes, e-mail addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by a visitor. For example, personally identifiable information is collected in order to invite you to an audition/information session. This information is used solely Caryn International or other entities who are involved in the operation of this site for internal purposes. We do not sell information you provide to us online to third parties. We will only share personally identifiable information with third parties when the person submitting the information authorizes us to share it.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) protects the personal information of children under the age of 13. This applies to individually identifiable information about a child that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact the child. The COPPA also covers other types of information—for example, hobbies, interests and information collected through tracking mechanisms—when they are tied to individually identifiable information. It is important for you to understand this law; we encourage you to read more about COPPA.
Note to Parents on Our Privacy Policy
Caryn International is committed to providing a safe, secure, and fun online experience for children who visit our site. We are dedicated to safeguarding any personal information collected online and to helping parents and children have positive experiences on the Internet. Consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior verifiable parental consent.
Parents can revoke their consent and ask that information about their children be deleted from the site by contacting our offices by phone at 763-746-3695 ext. 223 or via e-mail at caryninternational.com. To revoke consent or to review personal information collected from children, we must verify the identity of the requesting parent. When a parent revokes consent, we will stop collecting, using, or disclosing information from that parent’s child. Information collected and used for the sole purpose of obtaining verifiable parental consent or providing notice is not maintained in retrievable form by the site if parental consent is not obtained after a reasonable time.
Caryn International believes it is good policy not to collect more personally identifiable information from children under 13 than is necessary for them to participate in our activities. In addition, be aware that all sites that are targeted to children under 13 are prohibited by law from collecting more information than they need.
SUBMISSIONS
Caryn International welcomes children to learn more about our organization and, where appropriate, submit comments, photos, writings, and other submissions for posting on our website. For this reason, Caryn International follows the guidelines for interactive electronic media published by the Children’s Advertising Review Unit (CARU) of the Better Business Bureau for pages targeted to children under 13. However, we encourage this be done only with their parents’ knowledge and supervision. We also encourage children to use an alias (e.g., “Bookworm”, “Skater”, etc.), first name, nickname, initials, or other alternative to full names or screen names which correspond with an e-mail address for any activities which will involve public posting.
In keeping with CARU’s Principle regarding respecting and fostering the parents’ role in providing guidance for their children, we encourage parents to check and monitor their children’s use of e-mail and other online activities regularly.
USE OF COOKIES
Visitors should be aware that non-personal information and data may be automatically collected by the Caryn International website through the use of “cookies.” “Cookies” are small text files a website can use to recognize repeat visitors, facilitate the visitor’s ongoing access to and use of the site, and allow a site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements. Cookies are not programs that come onto a visitor’s system and damage files. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the visitor that has no meaning outside the assigning site.
