Do we use "cookies"?
|
|
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your
computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site's
or service provider's systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember
certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process
the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your
preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide
you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data
about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences
and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding
our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected
on our behalf except to help JCDA conduct and improve its business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can
choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator
or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser
Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookie settings. If you turn cookies off,
you won't have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly.

We realize that many children will visit our site, and we therefore encourage children to
consult with their parents before submitting any information to any website, including ours.
We encourage parents to supervise their children's online activities and consider using
parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help
provide a kid-friendly online environment. These tools can also prevent children from
disclosing their name, address, and other personal information online without parental
permission. For additional information about parental control tools, please consult the
"Consumer Assistance" page of the Direct Marketing Association home page.

Children's Online Privacy Policy
|
|
In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, we have adopted special
procedures applicable to personal information from children under the age of 13.
The following Children's Online Privacy Policy supplements our general Privacy Policy.
Any conflicting portions of our general Privacy Policy are superceded by this Policy.
Contact Information
This website is operated by Jersey City Dance Academy, Inc., 107 West Side Ave.
Jersey City NJ 07305
What personal information do we collect from children and how do we collect it?
When a child attempts to order products or register on the site, the child will be required
to provide his or her name, date of birth, gender, e-mail address, mailing address, day
phone number and credit card information (when ordering products only), as well as to
create a user name and password. The child will also be given the option of providing the
child's evening phone number, product sizing information, favorite sport, and other
information regarding the child's preferences or interests, and will be asked whether
he or she wants to be on our e-mailing list. When a child attempts to enter a contest or
promotion or use certain other features of the site, we will ask for a date of birth and
some of the information required to order products or register. We also receive and store
click-stream data and other information about visits to our websites.
When a child under the age of 13 attempts to submit his or her registration information,
or a child who has not registered attempts to enter a contest, promotion or use certain other
features that require the collection of personal information, our system will reject the
submission and give the child the option of downloading and/or printing a parental consent form, which the child may ask his or her parent or guardian to sign and mail or fax to us. The consent form will request the information initially requested during the online registration process. We will not collect or retain any personal information from a child under the age of 13 until we receive a signed parental consent form.
As described in our general privacy policy, we may use cookies to gather information that will
be associated with a child's personal information. Cookies allow us to better customize
visits to the site to match the child's preferences.
How do we use information about children?
We use the information described above:
- To personalize the site experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which visitors are most interested.
- To allow us to better respond to customer service requests.
- To learn about site visitors and customers and to tailor specific
features, promotions, or other notifications to them.
- To quickly process transactions.
- To administer a contest, promotion, survey or other site feature.
- If a child has opted-in to receive JCDA e-mail, we may send them periodic e-mails from JCDA with information on products, website content, or events. If they would no longer like to receive JCDA e-mail, please refer to the "How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you have provided to us?" section in the General Privacy Policy above.
Children under the age of 13 will never be asked to consent to disclosure to outside parties, and their personal information will not be disclosed to any outside parties, except as described below. A parent's consent to our collection and use of personal information about a child will never be treated as consent to disclosure of that information to outside parties. The term "outside parties" does not include JCDA, Inc. It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting JCDA's business, or servicing your child as long as such parties have agreed to keep customer data confidential. We may release personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our Site policies, or
protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
We are prohibited from conditioning a child's participation in an activity or contest on the disclosure of any more personal information than is reasonably necessary to allow the child to participate in that activity.
How do we protect information about children?
We are required by law to take reasonable security measures to protect personal information about children. Registration information submitted by a child's parent cannot be modified except through written request. All such information is contained off line and is only accessible by a limited number of persons and contractors who have special access rights to such systems. All contractors have agreed to keep this information confidential. All credit card information supplied by children is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to be
used and accessed only as described in this policy.
How can parents review their child's personal information and prevent its use or disclosure?
A parent or guardian who permits personal information to be collected about their child may also submit a signed written request to review or modify the information about their child. Before disclosing information about a child, we may request that the parent provide reasonable information about the parent for identification purposes, such as the parent's name, address, phone number, credit card number, or other information.
We will delete personal information about a child upon receipt of a written request from the parent or guardian who initially submitted such information. In the event of such a request, we will retain only information necessary for record keeping and customer service for past transactions.
Please stop by the studio to make any arrangements.
