Effective Date of Current Policy:  May 19, 2008

This Privacy Policy governs the way in which GuardChild collects and uses personal and non-personal information we learn about you from your visit to this website (the "Website").

Please also refer to the Terms and Conditions if you have not already done so.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Personal Information
GuardChild collects no personal information about you, typically defined as individually identifying information such as your name, home address, telephone number, e-mail address and credit card information unless you voluntary submit it.  You may submit information by clicking on various links, such as "Contact Us."

Furthermore, GuardChild may collect personal information, such as your name, e-mail address and membership password when you register for a Website account. 

GuardChild will not collect your credit card information during the processing of any transaction on the Website.  When registering for a Website account, GuardChild will not collect your credit card information.  Such information will be collected and confirmed by a third party, which will then forward payment to GuardChild.  At no time will such information be disclosed to GuardChild in any way.

Non-Personal Information
GuardChild may collect non-personal information about your activity at the Website.  The Website may automatically recognize and store information about the type of browser you are using; your Internet Protocol ("IP") address; the time, date, and length of your visit; and the referring site.  This information, if collected, is collected via computer code sent to your computer (commonly referred to as "cookies").  The cookies may not expire, unless you manually delete them or set your browser to reject them.  If you do not accept the cookies, however, you may have difficulty navigating the Website.  Furthermore, the Website may utilize Web beacons, embedded Web links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools.

Territoriality
Our computer systems are currently based in the United States and the content of our Website is directed to U.S. residents.  Your personal data will be processed by us in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may or may not be to the same level of protection as in other parts of the world, such as in Canada and the European Union.  BY VISITING THE GUARDCHILD WEBSITE, YOU UNEQUIVOCALLY AND UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONSENT TO THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING IN THE UNITED STATES OF ANY PERSONAL AND NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED OR OBTAINED BY GUARDCHILD, AND THAT UNITED STATES LAW GOVERNS ANY SUCH COLLECTION AND PROCESSING.

USE
GuardChild uses non-personal information to manage the Website.  GuardChild may analyze the data about visits to the Website to make it more accessible and interesting for visitors.  Further, GuardChild may share this data with third parties, usually to provide services for GuardChild associated with the maintenance of the Website. The information collected from you may be transferred to a third party in the event of a sale, acquisition, merger or bankruptcy involving GuardChild.

If you submit personal information to the Website, the information will be used for the purpose you requested. That information may be stored and maintained. GuardChild may also use that information to provide you with additional information in the future that it deems may be of interest to you.

In addition, GuardChild may share this information with third parties to fulfill your request.  If you do not wish GuardChild to use your information in accordance with this policy, please do not submit any personal information to GuardChild.

UPDATE AND OPT-OUT
If you would like to update any information you have sent to GuardChild, or if you do not want to receive information from GuardChild, please contact us at administrator@guardchild.com. GuardChild will also take reasonable efforts to honor any request you make to forgo contacts with you in the future or delete your information.  Please note that if you make an opt-out request, GuardChild will retain your contact information to make efforts to ensure that you are not contacted in the future.

To the extent required by the CAN-SPAM Act, commercial e-mail messages will also provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of receiving this information. Please note that changes to your preferences may not be effective immediately and will only be effective prospectively.

REVISIONS TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
The Internet and the benefits it offers are evolving rapidly, as are the ways in which people use the Internet and the laws surrounding such use.  GuardChild therefore reserves the right to update and revise this Privacy Policy at any time. You can determine if this Privacy Policy has been revised since your last visit by referring to the "Effective Date of Current Policy" date at the top of this page. Your use of our Website constitutes your acceptance of the terms of the Privacy Policy as amended or revised by us, and you should therefore review this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that you are aware of its terms.
