Contests and Sweepstakes
SassyTails.com may occasionally offer contests and sweepstakes, which may be entered online. To participate in a contest or sweepstakes, a child is asked to provide his or her first name and email address. Sometimes, when we conduct contests or sweepstakes that may involve more than a one-time contact, we ask additionally for the email address of his or her parent. In such types of contests or sweepstakes, we send the child's parent an email within two business days informing him or her of the child's entry and give the parent the option to have the child's entry deleted. All the information collected by SassyTails.com is securely maintained and used only for the purpose of conducting the contest or sweepstakes. Once the contest or sweepstakes is finished, we then delete any personal information collected. The information collected in a SassyTails.com sweepstakes may be passed to a fulfillment house which may use the information to help run the contest or sweepstakes and may not use it for other purposes and has agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
Electronic Postcards and Email Messages
SassyTails.com may provide kids the opportunity to send electronic postcards featuring SassyTails.com characters or original artwork to family or friends. Also, SassyTails.com features information about products that kids are interested in and may from time to time send, on behalf of kids who request it, email messages to family and/or friends to let family and/or friends share their interest. We may ask for a first name, but we do not require kids to submit personally identifiable information about themselves in order to send an electronic postcard or for SassyTails.com to send email messages to family or friends. We do, however, ask kids to submit the email address of the recipient of such electronic postcards or email messages.
SassyTails.com may also provide the opportunity to send email to us. We may ask for first names, but we request no personally identifiable information except an email address, which we use solely for the purpose of responding to messages and/or requests.
All information collected for electronic postcards and email messages is used only to send the requested electronic postcard or email message and to respond to email questions and/or requests and is deleted from our system once the electronic postcard, email message or email response is sent.
Use of Information
SassyTails.com uses or may use personally identifiable information that kids provide for such purposes as sending requested electronic postcards and email messages on their behalf, and conducting contests or sweepstakes, and responding to their questions regarding our products and services. SassyTails.com currently does not disclose to third parties personally identifiable information that kids provide, except from time to time, we may transfer, disclose or share such information with third parties who may be engaged by us specifically to handle and deliver certain online activities (e.g. conducting contests and sweepstakes). Such third parties have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Additionally, in the event that all or substantially all of the assets relating to SassyTails.com are transferred or sold to another entity, personally identifiable information submitted to us may be transferred to the acquiring entity. Finally, we may also disclose personally identifiable information to third parties in order to comply with law or requests by law enforcement agencies, to enforce our Terms and Conditions or to protect the rights, property or safety of our web site, users of our web site and others.
Cookies and Log Data
Cookies are information files that your web browser places on the hard drive of your computer when you visit a web site Cookies cannot damage user files, nor can they read information from a user's hard drive. Cookies allow web sites to "remember" users activities on a web site as well as users visits to a site. At SassyTails.com, cookies may be used to determine the number of unique visitors to our web site over a given period and to remember user screen names so that the need for multiple log ins is eliminated. We do not store any personal information into cookies nor do we link or combine information collected through cookies to any personal information that kids submit online when participating in our activities. You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser.
The ads appearing on SassyTails.com may be delivered to you by a third party ad service provider. In the course of serving ads, the ad service provider may place or recognize their own unique cookie on your browser, and may use non-personally identifiable information about your visit to SassyTails.com, such as the number of times that you have viewed an ad.
Log data collected on web servers both within SassyTails.com's control and under the control of SassyTails.com's third party service provider, who is required to maintain such data on a confidential basis, supplies SassyTails.com with aggregate information about the number of visits to different pages on our site.

Security
SassyTails.com has taken steps to ensure that personally identifiable information collected in the future is secure, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers as well as electronic security systems and password protections which guard against unauthorized access.

SassyTails.com provides links to other web sites that may have their own information collection practices. SassyTails.com provides internal "bumper pages" that inform kids that they have linked to another site and instructs them not to give out information online before checking with their parents.

We encourage visitors to other web sites to review the privacy policies and information collection practices of those web sites

Terms of Use
This page has legal information on it. These are the rules for using the Sassy Tails web site and you should ask your parents to go over these rules with you:
1. All the fun things and games you find here are only for you to play with. These are things that we made for you to enjoy so you can't sell them, give them away to anyone, or pretend that you made them. You can't do anything EXCEPT play with and enjoy them, unless you ask us first and we say it's OK. Basically we just want you to respect the work we've done on things for you.
2. If you see something you don't like, remember that some of the stuff on the SassyTails.com comes from other kids like yourself. SassyTails.com doesn't tell girls what to say or draw, because kids have minds of their own! We want you and all of our visitors to behave responsibly but we know that sometimes people don't. If someone sends ugly messages or pictures, we'll do our best to take care of it. We all want SassyTails.com to be a good, clean place to hang out.
3. If you write us or send us something that catches our eye, we might want to use it on the site. By sending in your thoughts, pictures, ideas and hanging out at SassyTails.com, and getting your parent's permission to do so, you and your parents are telling us it's ok to repeat what you say or post your pictures online. It's even ok for us to put it in an advertisement. It means we can use it in any way we want, anywhere, for as long as we want. And wouldn't it be cool if we used something YOU said or did?
Remember to ALWAYS check with your parents before you send anything to us.
