Children's Privacy Policy
Some of our online activities are directed to children under 13. When those activities involve the collection of PII, we provide additional privacy protections. To read about our protections that relate to the online collection of PII from children under 13.
From time to time ACDInc. may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our PII collection and use practices, the features of our websites or technology. If we make revisions that change the way we collect or use your PII, those changes will be posted in this Privacy Policy and the effective date will be noted at the beginning of the Policy. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices. If ACDInc. materially changes its practices regarding collection or use of your PII, your PII will continue to be governed by the Policy under which it was collected unless you have been provided notice of and have not objected to the change.
COLLECTION: COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ("PII") BY ACDInc.
General. ACDInc. collects personally identifiable information ("PII" -- that is, information such as your full name, email address, mailing address or telephone number) in order to create or enhance our relationship with you. When we collect PII from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting the information to us in order to participate in activities like sweepstakes, contests, games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, in connection with content or suggestions you submit to us, chats, bulletin boards, or because you want us to furnish you with products, services or information. We may also obtain PII from reputable third parties.
Cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that ACDInc.'s Internet sites place on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies remember information about your activities on our site(s) and enable ACDInc. to make your visits to our site(s) more enjoyable. For example, cookies can store your password for easy logon to a site you have previously visited or can save your preferences for a personalized home page.
Third party advertisements displayed on ACDInc.'s sites may also contain cookies set by Internet advertising companies or advertisers. ACDInc. does not control these cookies and visitors to our web site(s) sent by Internet Advertisers or other companies, should check the privacy policy of the advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies.
ACDInc. may use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of our web site(s) to PII obtained from you or a reputable third party. For example, if you've asked us to send you information about our upcoming products or promotions, cookie and/or click stream data about your activities on ACDInc.'s websites may allow us to limit the materials we send you to items we think you will find interesting, based on your prior online activities and preferences. However, if ACDInc. wishes to combine your personal and cookie or click stream information in this manner, we will obtain your express affirmative consent.
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely. However, without cookies you won't have access to certain features on ACDInc.'s websites such as registration for sweepstakes.
NOTICE: ACDInc. WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE ABOUT ITS PII COLLECTION PRACTICES
When you voluntarily provide PII to ACDInc., we will make sure you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses ACDInc. will make of the information. At the time you provide PII, ACDInc. will notify you of your options regarding our use of your PII, including whether we will share it with outside companies (See "Choice" below).
This Policy describes the types of other companies that may want to send you information about their products and services and therefore want to share your personal information provided you have given ACDInc. permission to do so (See "Use" below).
Sometimes we collect personally identifiable information from consumers in manual format or off-line, such as a post card or subscription form. Providing detailed notice in those situations often proves impractical, so consumers will instead be provided with a short notice that describes how to obtain the full text of this Policy and other relevant information from us.
ACDInc.'s web sites may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies. Some of these third party sites may be co-branded with a ACDInc. logo, even though they are not operated or maintained by ACDInc.. ACDInc.'s web sites may also carry advertisements from other companies. ACDInc. is not responsible for the privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our sites(s) or for the privacy practices of third party or national Internet advertising companies. Once you've left a ACDInc. site via such a link or by clicking on an advertisement, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
ACDInc.'s web sites may also be linked to sites operated by companies affiliated with ACDInc.

CHOICE: ACDInc. WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE USE OF YOUR PII
ACDInc. will not use the PII you provide provide to us for purposes different from the purpose for which it was submitted or share your PII with third parties that are not affiliated with ACDInc. (i.e, not part of the News America Group), unless we obtain your permission.
USE: ACDInc.'S USE OF PII

ACDInc. may share your PII with companies that are affiliated with us, that is are part of the News America Group of companies.

However, you will always have the opportunity to instruct us not to share your information with third parties when PII is collected.
ACDInc. employees, agents and contractors must have a legitimate business reason to obtain access to your PII. ACDInc. may share your PII with outside contractors or agents who help us manage our information activities (i.e, sweepstakes administration, order fulfillment, statistical analyses) but they may only use your PII to provide ACDInc. with a specific service and not for any other purpose.
There may be instances when ACDInc. may disclose PII without providing you with a choice in order to protect the legal rights of ACDInc., other companies within the News America Group or their employees, agents and contractors; to protect the safety and security of visitors to our web sites; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with the law or legal process.
