personal information we may collect from you when you visit our web sites,
how we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our use

Generally speaking, you can visit many of our web pages without telling
us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We
may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze
this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain
anonymous, unless you voluntarily tell us who you are.
There may be times (such as when you register as an Adora Collector’s
Club Member or purchase or order a product, subscribe to a service, register
to receive catalogs, or to participate in Adora events or promotions,
etc.) at which we ask you to provide certain information about yourself,
such as your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address,
credit card information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal interests,
etc. We also maintain a record of your online product purchases. Whether
or not to provide such information is completely your own choice. But
if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable
to register or purchase products, or access certain services on our web
site.
We use the personal information you provide for internal purposes, such
as confirming and tracking your current membership registration, analyzing
trends and statistics, informing you of our new dolls and products, events
and offers. From time to time we might establish a business relationship
with other persons or entities whom we believe trustworthy and whom we
have asked to confirm that their privacy policies are consistent with
ours. These are known as our Select Partners. In such cases we might share
and cross-reference information, including personal information about
you, which will enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding
products and services that may be of interest to you. We may share the
personal information about you with our dealer stores in your territory
in order to service you better regarding the club members, ordering or
purchasing our products, event holding, etc.
We may contract with companies or persons to provide certain services
including credit card processing, shipping, data management, promotional
services, etc. We call them our Service Providers. We provide our Service
Providers with the information needed for them to perform these services.
We also ask our Service Providers to confirm that their privacy practices
are consistent with ours.
Although unlikely, in certain instances we may disclose your personal
information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against persons or entities that may be
causing injury to you, to Adora, Inc. and all its brands or to others.
We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we
believe the law requires it.

Adora, Inc. takes special care to protect the safety and privacy of children.
Our web sites are general audience sites. Although we welcome children
to become members of Adora’s Collector’s Club and participate
in Adora’s events; we do not encourage children under the age of
13 to register as members of the club, access or use club forums, participate
in any Adora events, order or purchase Adora dolls or products without
having the explicit consent and guidance of their parents or guardian.
Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians
for permission before providing any personal information to anyone online.
We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children's online
activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology
to supervise children's access to the web.
We use sophisticated encryption and authentication tools to protect the
security of your personal information that you share with us. Unfortunately,
however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information,
we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit
to or from our web sites, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive
your transmission, we will do our best to protect its security on our
systems.
We urge you to keep your password in a safe place and not to disclose
it to anyone. Also remember to sign off your account when you have finished
your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your account,
especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using
a computer in a public place such as a library or Internet cafe.
If we decide to change our privacy policy in whole or in part, we will
inform you by posting a notice on our web site. Those changes will go
into effect on the date posted in the notice. The new policy will apply
to all current and past users of our web site and will replace any prior
policies that are inconsistent.
