THE ACE BAILEY CHILDREN'S FOUNDATION GOT SKILLS COMPETITION PRIVACY POLICY

The Ace Bailey Children's Foundation Got Skills Competitions (Ace's Got Skills), events owned and organized by RDW Marketing & Media, LLC, understand that privacy is an important issue for visitors to web sites. We are aware that web users are concerned about the information that is being collected, how it's being collected and how it is being used. The details below are written to help you understand Ace's Got Skills Internet Privacy Policy (AcesGotSkills.com).


Information Collection and Use:

At Ace's Got Skills we focus on providing children with the best possible on and off ice experiences. We are extremely sensitive to way that we interact with these children when they are not at the rink and we pride ourselves in our strict adherence to COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act - http://www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm). We recognize that parental consent is required for personal information collected from children under the age of 13 and we welcome the submission of questions and concerns from parents, including requests for the removal of their children's e-mail addresses from our mailing lists.

Ace's Got Skills cares about protecting the personal information of children and does not collect nor use the voluntarily supplied personal information of a child without parental consent. Upon obtaining parental consent, Ace's Got Skills will only use this information internally for purposes of providing special gift offerings, event discounts, and conducting games and sweepstakes. The types of personal information collected are (1) names; (2) email address (3) age (4) mailing address (5) hobbies (6) sports and entertainment interests; and (7) telephone numbers. If a parent decides not to authorize the online collection and/or use of such personal information, the child will still be able to participate in such offerings, discounts, games and sweepstakes. A parent may also elect to authorize the internal use of a child's personal information, but not the external use of such data. Either way, Ace's Got Skills will never collect more information from a child than is necessary for conducting the aforementioned activities. If at any time Ace's Got Skills decides to use such personal information with its sponsors, partners or affiliates, it will not to do unless and until it obtains verifiable consent from parents (e.g. requiring parents to fax a signed consent form, or sending e-mails that only be opened with a PIN number supplied upon extending parental consent). A parent may revoke previously extended approval at any time. A parent may also authorize the collection of his/her child's personal information for internal marketing purposes as described above, but not for disclosure to Ace's Got Skills sponsors, partners and affiliates.


Site Visitors Data for All Website Visitors:

Ace's Got Skills regularly gathers anonymous data on Web site activity, such as how many people visit the site, the pages they visit, where they come from, how long they stay, etc.

Site Visitors Data:

Site visitor's data is collected on an aggregate, anonymous basis, which means no personal information is associated with the data gathered through the use of Web server logs and cookies. A Web server log is a file where Web site activity is stored. A cookie is a small piece of information that a Web site sends to a visitor's computer, which is stored on his or her hard drive. Ace's Got Skills uses cookies to track repeat visits to its Web site. Although Ace's Got Skills assign a cookie to a visitor's computer, the company does not know who that visitor is unless that person specifically tells us. This information is shared among RDW Marketing & Media, LLC business units (Really Cool Guide & The Ace Bailey Children's Foundation Got Skills Competition) to improve site content and overall service.

Personal Information Collected From Website Visitors Older Than 13:

Ace's Got Skills collects personal information from site visitors, such as a visitor's name, address, phone number, e-mail address, etc. only when volunteered. Personal information is collected through our "Contact Us" and event "Registration" forms. Occasionally, we will also collect personal information through voluntary online surveys forwarded to the RDW Marketing & Media, LLC business that is equipped to handle the site visitor's request or feedback.

What information do we collect? How do we use it?

When you opt-in as the parent or guardian of a registrant, we need to know your child's name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, age group (Pee Wee, Squirt, etc.), level of play (Travel/House/Other), position and gender as well as personal information about you. When you sign up for our Personal Notification Services, we need only an e-mail address that we use to send the information you requested. If we decide to construct a "Player Review" area, we also ask for your e-mail address, although you can choose not to have your e-mail address displayed with your review. When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address, and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important functionality changes to the Web site, new Ace's Got Skills services and special offers we think you'll find valuable. If you would rather not receive this information, visit AcesGotSkills.com to change your preferences. Make sure to change your preferences for each account or e-mail address you have left with us. We will occasionally use system-generated e-mail to notify participants and their parents of upcoming events or remind them to review the site for the latest standings information. In all cases system-generated e-mail will ONLY be used in connection with Ace’s Got Skills events.

What about "cookies"?

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information, but they do enable us to provide features that we could not otherwise provide. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without a cookie, you can still use most of the features in our site, but you may have issues with your personal profile information and navigation relative to it.

Will Ace's Got Skills disclose the information it collects to outside parties?

Ace's Got Skills does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. Ace's Got Skills may provide aggregate statistics about our customer's sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information.
