K-Lane’s
Privacy Policy
At K-Lane’s, we are committed to protecting the privacy
of our users, especially that of children ages 12 and under.
This privacy policy
details the type of personal information that is collected from visitors
to our site, how it is used, and special considerations which are made
to ensure the safety of children on www.K-Lanes.com.
Please be
sure to read this Privacy Policy before using or submitting
information to us. Your use of this web site is subject
not only to the terms of the Privacy Policy, but also to
this site’s Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy is subject to change from time to time,
so please check back periodically. By accessing and using
our web site, and by providing us with your information,
you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do
not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use our
site. Your continued use of our site following the posting
of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
Collection
of Personal Information
Certain areas within K-Lane’s will ask you to supply information.
For example, if you want to send an e-card or mail your wish list, you
will be asked to give your first name, the recipient’s first name,
and the recipient’s e-mail address. That information is used only
in order to send the e-card or wish list, and is then deleted by K-Lane’s.
We also allow our users to save their wish lists for access at a later
time. To save your wish list, you will be prompted to supply an anonymous
username and password. Finally, we allow users with valid credit cards
to purchase gift cards for their friends and family. We assume that because
this transaction requires a valid credit card, only persons over 12 are
placing orders for gift cards, and providing us with the information
requested during the gift card order process. During that process, we
ask for name, mailing address, telephone number, and billing information
from the party who is placing the order. We capture the name, mailing
address, and phone number for each gift card recipient.
In the future,
K-Lane’s may create an on-line loyalty and club membership
program, where users will be asked to provide their first
and last names, birth dates, a postal address, an e-mail
address, and a telephone number. Under the Federal Trade
Commission’s Rule implementing the Children’s
Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), K-Lane’s may
not collect this information from children under 12 without
first obtaining prior parental consent. Should K-Lane’s
create such a loyalty club, it will comply with this requirement,
and other pertinent terms of the COPPA Rule. When this
new feature, or others, are added to www.K-Lanes.com, we
will make sure to update our privacy policy to explain
to you how the new features work, and how the information
you provide will be treated by K-Lane’s.
In addition
to information we ask from you specifically, our Web site
also tracks some information passively. This information
is collected in order to assure that our site runs smoothly,
and that you have a good experience at www.K-Lanes.com.
When you visit our Web site, our Web server automatically
recognizes the browser you are using, your IP address,
the URL that referred you to our site, and all of the areas
within our site that you visit.
|
We use this information only
in a general context that does not personally identify
individual users but still allows us to analyze trends
concerning our site and thus improve it accordingly.
We use “cookies” on
our site so that the information you type is retained when
you are ordering gift cards and/or creating wish lists. “Cookies” contain
information that is stored by your web browser on your
hard drive, and so this information is not stored at www.K-Lanes.com.
Most web browsers allow you to control the use of cookies
on your computer, and so K-Lane’s recommends that
you consult the help function of your web browser to learn
more about its use of cookies. If you decide to disable
cookies, please note that if you visit other pages on the
site while placing a gift card order and/or creating a
wish list, you will need to retype any data previously
entered.
Further,
other information on the site may not display consistently
once you have disabled cookies. Use and Disclosure of Personal
Information
We at K-Lane’s have worked hard to create a safe online environment
for both children and adults. We only collect and save personally identifiable
information about adults who purchase K-Lane’s gift cards. K-Lane’s
will use the information you provide when purchasing a gift card to
fulfill your request. We may also use your information to send you
additional information about our company or products in which we believe
you may be interested, or for other purposes described in this section,
below. The information you provide to us to send an e-card or your
wish list is used only to respond to that request. After the e-mail
is sent, the information you provided is deleted. Because usernames
and passwords are anonymous, children may create wish lists without
providing us with any personally identifiable information. We use the
non-identifiable information users record in their wish lists to learn
more about the products our customers prefer, and about trends in the
marketplace. Should we request and store personally identifiable information
from children in the future, we will not do so without first obtaining
prior verifiable parental consent, and otherwise complying with the
COPPA Rule.
K-Lane’s
uses your information to notify you about new features,
products or services we may make available from time to
time; to customize your experience on our site; and to
improve our features, products and services. We may notify
you about contests and promotions, we may ask that you
complete customer surveys, we may send you newsletters
or other of our promotional pieces, or we may notify you
about third party products or services in which we believe
you may be interested. K-Lane’s is not in the business
of selling your personally identifiable information, and
does not make a practice of releasing your information
to third parties. However, we may need to disclose your
information to our business partners or affiliates in order
to run this web site, or fulfill your order requests. K-Lane’s
may also share the information you provide with other limited
and carefully screened third parties. We may also provide
aggregate (anonymous) statistics about our customers, sales,
online traffic patterns and related information to reputable
third parties, but these statistics will not include any
personally identifying information. In the unlikely event
that we sell all or part of our business, we will
|
transfer
to the new owner the related business assets, which may include
our customer information.

and, in the subject line of your message, either indicate “Delete

Parents, we do not currently store any information about children under
13. However, should we collect and store such information in the
future, not only will we not collect and store such information without
first obtaining your verifiable consent, we will also make sure to
provide you with the ability to review the information your child
provides, and have it deleted if you so wish (as is required by the
COPPA Rule).
Security
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information
associated with our users is of utmost importance to us. We exercise
great care in providing secure transmission of our users’ financial
information from their computers to our servers, and use encryption
software to process your purchases. Only those employees who need
access to our users’ information in order to do their jobs
are allowed access. Employees who violate our privacy policy are
subject to disciplinary action.
