Registration:
In order to use this Web site, a
user must first complete the registration form. During
registration a user [is required to] give[s] contact information
(such as name and email address). We use this information to
contact the user about services on our site for which he has
expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide
demographic information (such as income level and gender), and
unique identifiers (such as, username and password), but
encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on
our site. We also require a user’s social security number
to provide account information.
We request information from the user
on our order form. A user must provide contact information (such
as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information
(such as credit card number, expiration date). This
information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer’s
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the
information is used to contact the user.
Information Use
Profile:
We store information that
we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third
parties to create a profile of our users. A profile is
stored information that we keep on individual users that details
their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected
information is tied to the users personally identifiable
information to provide offers and improve the content of the
site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user’s visit
to our Web site, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to
them. We [do not] share your profile with other third
parties. [Your profile is shared in aggregate form only.]
[Your profile is shared together with your personally
identifiable information.]
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied
to information about the user. [Usage of a cookie is in no
way linked to any personally identifiable information while on
our site.] We use [both] session ID cookies [and]
persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users
close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A
persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard
drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be
removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in
a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our
site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our
site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be
limited in some areas of our site. For example, [the user
will not be able to participate in any of our sweepstakes,
contests or monthly drawings that take place.] Persistent
cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users
to enhance the experience on our site. See the “Profile”
section.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for
example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or
control over these cookies, once we have given permission for
them to set cookies for advertising.
Third Party Advertising
The ads
appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by [THIRD
PARTY], our Web advertising partner. Information about users’
visit to this site, such as number of times they have viewed an
ad (but not user name, address, or other personal information),
is used to serve ads to users on this site.
This privacy statement covers the use of cookies
by Toy Box Storage LLC. only and does not cover the use of
cookies by any advertisers.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers
we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number
of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not
linked to personally identifiable information. [IP
addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to
enable our Web-based service.] [Webtrendslive users may have
further obligations of particular language per their license

Profile section below.]
Communications from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and
username. Established members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we
present the option to not receive these types of communications.
Please see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for
contact information such as name and email address. Out of
respect for our users privacy we provide a way to opt-out of
these communications. Please see the Choice and Opt-out
sections.
Service Announcements
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service
related announcement. For instance, if our service is
temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an
email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these
communications, though they can deactivate their account.
However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
[Users may opt-out of these communications. Please see our
Choice and Opt-out section.]
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a
regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to
issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in
accordance with the users wishes.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may
need to disclose personal information when required by law
wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is
necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court
order or legal process served on our Web site.
Third Party Intermediaries
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Business Transitions
In the event Toy Box Storage LLC. goes through a business
transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company,
or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information
will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Users will be notified via [email] [prominent notice on our Web
site for 30 days] prior to a change of ownership or control of
their personal information. If as a result of the business
transition, the users’ personally identifiable information will
be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of
collection they will be given choice consistent with our
notification of changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their
information used for purposes not directly related to our site
at the point where we ask for information. For example,
our order form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a
product from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep
their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and
promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these
communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in
the email or email us at or the user may contact us at [PHONE]
[EMAIL] or [POSTAL MAIL] to opt-out.]
Users of our site are always notified when their information is
being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our
users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they
should proceed with services that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we, Toy Box Storage LLC., are not responsible for the
privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects
personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web
site.
Surveys [& Contests]
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or
contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a
choice whether or not to disclose this information. The
requested information typically includes contact information
(such as name and shipping address), and demographic information
(such as zip code). Users’ personally identifiable
information is not shared with third parties unless we give
prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to
conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users’
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral
service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for
the friend’s name and email address. Toy Box Storage LLC.
will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting
them to visit the site. Toy Box Storage LLC. stores [or does not
store] this information for the sole purpose of sending this
one-time email [and tracking the success of our referral
program]. The friend may contact Toy Box Storage LLC. to
request the removal of this information from our database.
Security
This Web site takes every
precaution to protect our users’ information. When users
submit sensitive information via the Web site, their information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order
form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit
card number and/or social security number), that information is
encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in
the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our
order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just
‘surfing’.
While we use SSL encryption
to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything
in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of
our users’ information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job
(for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected
screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they
return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to
user information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every
[quarter], as well as any time new policies are added, our
employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we
place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users’
information is protected. Finally, the servers that store
personally identifiable information are in a secure environment,
If users have any questions about the security at our Web site,
users can send an email.
Supplementation of Information
In order for this Web site
to properly fulfill its obligation to users it is necessary for
us to supplement the information we receive with information
from 3rd party sources.
Purchasing History
In order for this Web site
to enhance its ability to tailor the site to a user’s
preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits
of users with similar information from our partners, [COMPANY Y
& COMPANY Z], to create a personalized user profile. When
a user makes a purchase from either of these two companies, the
companies [we] collect [and share] personal [and demographic]
information back with us.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information
If a user’s personally identifiable
information changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal
address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide
a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users’ personally
identifiable information. This can usually be done by emailing
our Customer Support.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement,
the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users
are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We
will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected. If, however, we are going
to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time of collection we will
notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner.
However, if users have opted out of all communication with the
site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not
be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in
this new manner. In addition, if we make any material
changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user
information already stored in our database, we will post a
prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change.
In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users,
who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them
of the changes in our privacy practices.
