ThumbWrestlingFederation.com is particularly concerned about the privacy of users under the age of 13 and we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in their children's online activities and monitor their children's use of e-mails and engagement in other electronic communication. For more information about COPPA or children's privacy, please visit www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy.

The purpose of our policy is to inform you about the types of information we gather about you online when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct the information.

1. What is personal information?

Personally identifiable information is information that can personally identify you, such as your full name (first and last name), your e-mail address and your postal address. Information that may be personal in nature, but cannot identify who you are, is not personally identifiable information. For example, your age, your first name and even your favorite character are all personal information, but are not personally identifiable information.

2. What type of personal information do you collect?

While we collect information in a variety of ways on the site, we rarely collect personally identifiable information. On the occasions when we do, we always seek permission from a parent and will collect no more personally identifiable information from you than is reasonably necessary for you to participate in an online activity.

Site Management: We may collect information through technology to make our site more interesting and useful to you. For instance, we collect IP addresses and use technology to track traffic patterns on the site. Once you have logged into the website, we track your activities by using logs of database transactions and server interactions. We use this information to understand which areas of our website are most appealing or least appealing. Our site also uses cookies, which are pieces of information that a website sends to your computer while you are viewing the website. Cookies provide information to the site so that the site will remember who you are.

None of the information collected through these methods is, or is connected to, personally identifiable information about you.

E-mail Communication from You: If you contact us by e-mail, we use your e-mail address (which is personally identifiable information) only to respond to your specific request or question, after which the address is deleted. If we ask for your parent's e-mail address, we keep that information and use it only for the purpose of providing notices to parents and requesting parental consent as required under COPPA.

E-mail Communication from Us: Our site may allow you to sign up to receive newsletters, e-mails regarding special ThumbWrestlingFederation.com promotional messages, or offers. The newsletters and e-mails will provide you with information about new website features, Thumb Wrestling Federation: TWF TV schedules, new releases of games, or special TWF promotional messages or offers to you. In order to participate in these activities, we collect your first name, your e-mail address, and your parent's e-mail address. We use this information to contact your parent by e-mail to notify him or her that you have provided personally identifiable information to us for these purposes, and to provide them an opportunity to opt-out of the collection of the information.

Safety and Security: Note that we may collect your first name and e-mail address where necessary for your safety. We may also collect your name and e-mail address for the limited purposes of protecting the security and integrity of the site, taking precautions against liability, responding to the judicial process, or for law enforcement on a matter related to public safety.
