Privacy Statement
FLIP CANDYTM
Thank you for visiting the FLIP CANDY website (the "Site" or “Sites”) brought to
you by MOBISIX dba FLIP CANDY ("we" or "us"). We provide this Privacy Statement
to highlight our policy with regard to the privacy of information we may gather
through your use of this Site. The policies contained in this Privacy Statement
are incorporated by reference in the
Terms of Use (the "Agreement").
1. COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
In order to use and participate in certain services provided to you by FLIP CANDY
such as our customer relationship program, retailer promotions, sweepstakes, and
mobile communications (collectively the "Site Services"), you may be required to
register with us. In order to register, you will be required to provide certain
personally identifiable information, such as your first and last name, birth date,
gender, email address and / or cell phone number, and possibly volunteer other information
("Registration Profile Page"). If you are unwilling to disclose the required information
in connection with your registration, you will still be able to access those portions
of the Site available to non-registered users of the Site.
You must be 13 or older to register with the Site. The United States Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) went into effect on April 21st, 2000. In
order to comply with that act, we will not knowingly process any data that was submitted
to us by a visitor who is under 13 years of age. Please visit www.ftc.gov and search
for COPPA for information from the Federal Trade Commission about protecting children's
online privacy.
By completing the Registration Profile Page you have indicated that you are interested
in receiving information on special offers and promotions, and FLIP CANDY may send
you such information via mail, email, and mobile telephone devices. In addition,
we may share user information with affiliated businesses and third parties that
we believe are reputable to offer products and services that may be of interest
to you.
When you visit the Site, our server may place small temporary text files called
"cookies" on your computer's processor or in the browser directory of your hard
drive. These cookies may contain a unique identifier that enables us to personalize
your visit to the Site and create a better experience for you. For example, when
you access the Site, a cookie will enable us to provide you with information on
the mall closest to you. You may choose not to accept cookies by setting your web
browser to either refuse all cookies or to notify you each time before a cookie
is set. If you choose to refuse cookies, however, you may not be able to use all
the features of the Site, including but not limited to the site services, contests,
and promotions.
Even after you have become a registered user, you may later choose not to receive
such information from us by Opting-Out of the program. To Opt-Out of FLIP CANDY,
send an email to flipcare@flipcandy.com
or send a text message to 61253 with the word STOP in the text message via the mobile
phone number you registered. If you Opt-Out, you will no longer receive such special
offers and information from us. You may, however, remain an entrant in certain contests
or sweepstakes as indicated in the Official Rules of those promotions. This Privacy
Policy does not, however, apply to other Internet websites that are not under our
control ("Third-Party Websites"), or to other third parties; you should contact
such entities directly regarding their use of your information.
2. PROTECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
We do not make available to the general public any personally identifiable information
you provide to us in connection with your registration on the Site. We use industry
standard technology and efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal
identifiable information. These include secure servers and firewalls. All of the
user data we collect is protected against unauthorized access. Authorized employees
and contracted agencies who need the information to perform a specific job are granted
access to this information.
3. CHANGES TO YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION; YOUR ABILITY TO CORRECT
INACCURACIES
To make changes to your personal information provided to FLIP CANDY, log into your
“Profile” and update the fields accordingly or send an email to
flipcare@flipcandy.com with clear instructions outlining intended changes.
Following such correspondence a representative of FLIP CANDY will make the changes
or contact you to arrange for the appropriate changes to your personal information
profile.
4. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES
The Site provides links to Third-Party Websites that are not under our control.
If you click on a banner advertisement that appears on one of the pages of the Site,
you may be transported to a Third-Party Website and away from this Site. THIS PRIVACY
STATEMENT APPLIES TO THIS SITE ONLY, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO DESCRIBE THE PRIVACY
POLICIES OF THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES WITH REGARD TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION; WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF THIRD-PARTY
WEBSITES. IF YOU CLICK ON A BANNER ADVERTISEMENT OR A LINK TO A THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE,
YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE PRIVACY POLICY OF SUCH THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE, IF ANY, TO DETERMINE
THAT SITE'S PRACTICES WITH REGARD TO THE COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION. Any link on the Site to a Third-Party Website does not imply an endorsement
of the privacy practices of such Third-Party Website by us, and no such Third-Party
Website is authorized to make any representation or warranty on our behalf.
5. NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
During your visit to the Site, we may ask for certain anonymous, non-personally
identifiable information, such as your zip code, age, gender, consumer preferences,
and the like. Such information is used to gain a better understanding of usage trends
and we provide it to third parties for their general marketing research purposes.
We may use your Internet Protocol ("IP") address to help diagnose problems with
our server, and to administer the Site. We may use IP addresses to gather non-personally
identifiable demographic information, such as how many users visited a certain part
of the Site, but not to track a specific IP address to the identity of an individual
user.
6. THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT MAY CHANGE
This privacy statement may change from time to time. FLIP CANDY reserves the right
to change it without notice. If you believe that FLIP CANDY has in some way not
complied with the policies outlined in this Privacy Statement, or if you have any
other questions relating to privacy, please let us know by sending an e-mail message
detailing your concern to flipcare@flipcandy.com.
