You can visit our web site, read articles and other materials, and check on offerings without giving us any personally identifiable information. In order to provide users and subscribers with the most efficient and enhanced personalized service, we request information about you in certain circumstances, and also collect certain non personal information automatically.

In addition to the uses discussed below, the information collected at this web site is used for the internal operations of the web site and for order fulfillment purposes, as well as to respond to specific questions asked by our visitors and to fulfill specific requests to participate in activities at our web site. We collect personally identifiable information, such as names, mailing addresses, and/or e-mail addresses when you place an order or through optional, voluntary registration on our web site. Occasionally, we may also request demographic information, such as age, gender, hobbies or interests. Often this additional information is optional or requested anonymously in connection with a survey. Web site visitors may register to receive one of our e-mail updates, or to enter online contests and sweepstakes, and we may offer offline contests and sweepstakes as well. Registration may also be required in connection with certain surveys and feedback options. Sometimes registration can be accomplished by submitting only a user name and password. Other types of offerings require submission of additional information. The information we collect may include your e-mail address, name, address, phone number, age, gender, hobbies, family information, and similar demographic information or information related to your interests. Registration forms will indicate what information is required and what information, if any, is optional. This information may be collected during registration on a site or in connection with specific activities, for example, signing up for a newsletter, entering a sweepstakes or contest, or answering a survey.

We conduct market research in an effort to continually improve our brands and web site and may purchase lists of potential subscribers or customers from third parties. Those lists may include information on current subscribers or customers. This information is included in our database. That helps us minimize multiple mailings and e-mailings, and provide information tailored to your interests.

UNIONBAY.com does not sell or rent your e-mail address to unrelated third parties. UNIONBAY.com may disclose personal information obtained online with outside contractors who provide support for the internal operations of the web site, such as contractors who provide fulfillment services or technical support to the web site. We may also disclose personal information to third parties to help us provide services to you, such as monitoring site activity, serving site content, organizing information, conducting surveys, and administering e-mails, drawings, or contests. In addition, we may disclose specific information about you if necessary to do so by law or based on our good faith belief that it is necessary to conform or comply with the law, or is necessary to protect the users of our web site, or to protect the rights or the property of UNIONBAY. We reserve the right to change this policy at any time by notifying visitors of the existence of a new privacy policy. This policy is specific to this site.
UNIONBAY.com limits the number of employees that have access to the databases that contain personal data, and UNIONBAY.com employees are advised of the importance of confidentiality. While we implement the above security measures on this site, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible and cannot be assured.
UNIONBAY is committed to protecting the safety and privacy of children who visit our web site. UNIONBAY.com is not directed at anyone under the age of 13, and no one under the age of 13 should provide personal information on this web site. Our web site may include features or material that may be appealing to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under the age of 13 and have adopted techniques to age identify users on our teen-oriented site to ensure compliance with this privacy policy and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 COPPA. COPPA and its accompanying regulations establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the Internet. UNIONBAY.com does not sell, rent or trade the personal information about children under the age of 13 obtained from parents/guardians online at this web site to anyone.
With regard to the general mailing list registration at UNIONBAY.com, we have a separate mailing list registration process for kids who state that they are under the age of 13. Kids under the age of 13 will only be asked to provide their name and parent's/guardian's e-mail address. UNIONBAY.com will then send the parent/guardian an e-mail notice and a request that the parent complete the mailing list sign up for their child. Before the child is registered and can receive e-mails and other promotional materials from UNIONBAY.com, the child's parent/guardian must consent by completing the child's mailing list registration information. If a parent/guardian does not wish to consent by completing their child's mailing list registration with UNIONBAY.com, the parent/guardian may simply decline the child's registration by not submitting the form via e-mail. No information on the child is stored in our database until the parent/guardian submits the registration form. Should a parent/guardian initially consent to their child's registration by completing the mailing list registration, they can cancel that consent at any time by e-mailing such a request to UNIONBAY.com at unsubscribe@UNIONBAY.com . If a parent/guardian later cancels their consent to UNIONBAY.com mailing list registration, all personally identifiable information obtained online from the parent/guardian about their child will be purged from UNIONBAY.com's records.
UNIONBAY believes that parents should supervise their children's online activities and consider using parental control tools available from online services and software manufacturers that help provide a kid-friendly online environment. Please instruct your children not to give us their names, e-mail addresses, or, more generally, to provide any other personal information to anyone without your permission. For additional information about parental control tools, please consult the Privacy Action section of the Direct Marketing Association's web site, http://www.the-dma.org/.
