Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy and that of your children is very important to us.  Any information that we collect on our site is only used to process transactions, to deliver the products and services you request and to help improve your shopping experience.  This Privacy & Security Policy specifically addresses our commitment to protecting children’s online privacy and our policies with respect thereto in the section below titled “Privacy of Children Online.”

We encourage you to read through and understand our Privacy and Security Policy.  We may update it from time to time to address new issues or reflect changes on our website.


This Privacy & Security Policy describes:

  • What personal information we collect, how we collect and use it and with whom it may be shared
  • What choices you may make regarding the use of your personal information and that of your children
  • The security procedures we have in place to protect your personal information and that of your children

Information Collection, Use and Sharing:

We may collect personal information (such as name, address, email, telephone number, credit card information) from you when you interact with us through our website.  Some examples are when you:

  • make an online purchase
  • create an account
  • contact our customer service department
  • participate in a survey, contest or other promotion.

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site.  We only have access to and collect information that you voluntarily provide to us via email or other direct contact from you through our site.  We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us.  Any information that we collect on our site is only used to process transactions, to deliver the products and services you request and to help improve your shopping experience.  We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than trusted third parties who are necessary to fulfill your request and who will not use such information for any other purpose except to provide services in connection with this website.

Unless instructed otherwise, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about new products or services, specials or changes to this Privacy and Security Policy.  We do, however, reserve the right to revise it any time by any means including, but not limited to, posting the revised Privacy and Security Policy on this website.


What is Personal Information?:

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, we define “Personal Information” as your first and last name, your e-mail address, your home or other physical address, including a street name and name of a city or town, your telephone number, your social security number, any payment or financial information, or any other identifier that permits ReKennect to contact a natural human person, like you, and/or any information that ReKennect maintains that could be used to identify you in combination with any of the identifying information described above.

We will collect and store any Personal Information you provide to us. For example, to create a user account for the Sites (“Account”) we ask you to provide your name and an email address; and when you purchase any product, we ask you to provide your name, shipping address, and phone number. We collect and store any Personal Information that you choose to provide in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please note: it is your choice to provide us with this information.

Personal Information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect automatically about the use of the Sites. The Privacy Policy does not restrict or limit our collection and use of aggregate information, and we reserve the right to share such aggregate information with potential partners or other third parties without restriction.


Your Access to and Control Over Information:

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time.  You can do so by contacting us via the email address below.


Third Party Websites:

The Sites may contain links to other websites. ReKennect does not control, and makes no representations whatsoever regarding, such other websites or the products and services offered by or through websites accessed through links on the Sites, even those with which ReKennect may have an affiliation. If you decide to access third party websites linked through the Sites you do so at your own risk. You should carefully review the privacy policy and terms of any such website.

The Sites may include social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and widgets, such as the “Share This” button or interactive mini-programs that run on the Sites. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on the Sites, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the Sites. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.


Security:

To the best of our abilities, we take precautions to protect your information.  When you submit sensitive information via the website.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way.  We also protect your information offline as only employees and third parties who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to your information.  While we take precautions, please note, however, that no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

If we become aware of a security systems breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may post a notice through the Sites if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the email address you have provided to use in these circumstances. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing.

Users should also be aware of how they handle and disclose their Personal Information and should avoid sending Personal Information through insecure email. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at http://www.business.ftc.gov/privacy-and-security/consumer-privacy for information about how to protect yourself against identity theft.


Automatic Information Collection:

If you visit our website to browse, read, or download information your web browser automatically sends us (and we may retain) information such as the:  Internet domain through which you access the Internet (e.g., yourServiceProvider.com if you use a commercial Internet service provider, or yourSchool.edu if you use an Internet account from your school); IP address of the computer you are using; type of browser software and operating system you are using;  date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the site from which you linked directly to our site.

We will use this information as aggregate data to help us maintain this site, e.g., to determine the number of visitors to different sections of our site, to ensure the site is working properly, and to help us make our site more accessible and user friendly.  We will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information.


Commercial Electronic Message Consent

By providing your email address to ReKennect through the Sites, you affirmatively and expressly consent to receiving commercial emails from ReKennect. These parties may send you commercial emails in order to deliver the Newsletter, to provide you with more information about available products you have purchased, and to provide you with updates, special offers, and other information, including but not limited to Site updates. You may unsubscribe from these commercial emails at any time by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link included in any email or by contacting ReKennect via email at customerservice@rekennect.com or at the mailing address provided in the contact section. Opting out of promotional communications does not affect our communications with you via telephone or email related to any business we may have with you as an owner or other transactional emails.


Cookies

We may use cookies in order to customize this site for return visitors.  These cookies are not required for site functionality.  Additionally, third-party widgets such as YouTube or Flickr may install cookies depending on their configuration.  You are not required to accept any cookies to use this site.


GOOGLE ANALYTICS    

We use Google Analytics to collect information about use of this site. Google Analytics is a tool that collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this site. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.  Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.


Privacy of Children Online:

We are committed to protecting children’s online privacy.  We encourage parents and guardians to supervise their child’s use of the Internet.  We urge parents to instruct their children to never give out their real names, addresses, phone numbers or other personal information without a parent’s or guardian’s permission when using the Internet.

In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), we have adopted the following policies, with some exceptions as listed below, to keep children safe:

– We will NOT knowingly collect, use, or distribute personal information from children under the age of 13 without prior verifiable consent from a parent or guardian.

– Personal information we collect from children under the age of 13 will be used solely by us or our agents for internal purposes only and will NOT be sold or otherwise distributed to third parties.

– We will NOT knowingly allow children under the age of 13 access to free form chat, message boards, email accounts, or other services that would allow them to publicly post or otherwise distribute personal information without prior verifiable consent from a parent or guardian.

– We will NOT knowingly ask a child under the age of 13 to divulge more information than is needed to participate in any activity, game or service.

– We will NOT knowingly keep any personal information that is inadvertently included in a child’s email submission, help inquiry, or other one-time request, if we know that the child is under the age of 13.  Any such information will be purged promptly after the issue has been resolved.

– We will NOT knowingly post any personal information that is inadvertently included in a child’s submission to a general audience contribution area if we know that the child is under the age of 13.  Upon notice to us, these submissions will be deleted and handled anonymously thereafter.

– We will NOT knowingly provide any direct link to websites that are unsuitable for children or teens.

– We will advise children under the age of 13 that they MUST obtain permission from their parent or guardian before sharing ANY personal information, and provide sufficient information of age and permission detailed, herein. 

– Upon request, we will provide a parent or guardian with a description of the information that may have been provided about their child during a registration process for a program or service of this site.   We only ask for a child’s personal information if it is necessary to participate in an activity, game or service.


Notification and Verifiable Parental Consent:

Before any personal information is collected, we will attempt to do our best to notify the parent or guardian that their child is participating. Notification may include the exact nature and intended use of the information we are collecting, as well as the opportunity for the parent or guardian to prevent the use of the information and the child’s participation in the activity. For every child (anyone under 13 years of age) we require the parent or guardian to provide verifiable parental consent such as: by email plus a fax, phone or letter follow up by the parent or guardian; mail, fax or scan of a consent form; or toll-free phone call to us.

In order for us to provide notice to a parent or guardian and seek verifiable parental consent, we may request the contact information of a parent or guardian. This contact information will only be used for the sole purpose of obtaining verifiable parental consent or providing notification to the parent or guardian.

Exceptions to Verifiable Parental Consent and Information Collected From Children:

In the following instances we will NOT get verifiable parental consent for the collection of a child’s personal information:

– Collecting a child’s contact information solely to directly respond to the child’s request on a one-time basis (for example, to provide assistance with a particular customer service question). We will not use that information to re-contact the child for any other purpose (we will purge from our system the child’s personal information after responding).

– Collecting a child’s contact information and the contact information of his/her parent or guardian solely to directly respond more than once to a specific request from the child (for example, to satisfy the request for a newsletter subscription). In this instance, the parent or guardian will be notified that the child made such a request and be informed of the information provided by the child. The parent or guardian will have an opportunity at any time to revoke the child’s request (i.e., unsubscribe). We will not use the child’s personal information to re-contact the child for any other purpose.

–  Using persistent identifiers on our Website to support the internal operations of our Website which include: maintaining and analyzing the functioning of the Website; performing network communications; authenticating users; personalizing content on the Website; serving contextual advertising or capping the frequency of advertising; protecting the security or integrity of the user, Website or service; and to ensure legal and regulatory compliance. A “persistent identifier” is a series of numbers that we assign to a user but cannot be reasonably used to identify a specific user.

– A child may provide the email address of their parent or guardian for the purpose of retrieving or resetting a child’s lost password for their user account. A parent or guardian’s email address collected in this instance will only be used for this purpose.

Please contact us via the email address or phone number below if you believe we may have collected unintended information from your child and we will work to delete it.
