Prior to registration for use of ActionAllStars.com, you will be asked to enter your birth date, so that we can confirm your age. You agree that the birth date you enter will be accurate. ActionAllStars.com is designed for use by users under the age of thirteen, as well as users thirteen and older, and we have separate privacy policies for those two age groups. Please click the appropriate Privacy Policy Link below to review our Privacy Policy.
ActionAllStars.com is a sports-themed virtual world designed for kids who enjoy sports entertainment and interacting with a network of like-minded community members through engaging activities, competitions, and more. The foundation of ActionAllStars.com is built upon four "C's": Compete, Collect, Customize and Chat. A combination of sports news and fun, pick-up-and-play games, in addition to a leveling and challenge-based system influenced by real-world sporting events, keeps the experience fresh and relevant for everyone.
This policy explains what information we collect on our website, and what we do with the information you give us (the policy covers only information collected and used on ActionAllStars.com; it does not describe how we handle information that is submitted in other forums, such as offline, over the telephone, or on another website we may host). Parents, you should be aware that there are laws (like one called the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA) which tell websites not to condition a child's participation in online activities on the requirement that a child give more information than is needed for the child to participate in that activity. We strive to comply with COPPA, and so to let kids register and participate in our site, we ONLY collect the information we need to have visitors join our world. To learn more about COPPA, and about how to protect your kids on interactive online websites, visithttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/adults.htm for information from the Federal Trade Commission, as well as http://www.onguardonline.gov/socialnetworking_youth.html.
If, for some reason, our privacy policy changes in any significant way, we'll let you know first. Your parents will have the opportunity to say, "Sure, those changes are fine with me," or "No way! Leave our info under the old policy or delete it!" If we don't get permission to move your data to the new policy, we'll leave it under the old one. What We Collect and How We Use It We collect very limited personal information from our visitors. In order to use the interactive features of our website visitors must register. During registration, we collect parents' e-mail address so that parents can give permission for kids to join our site. In some of the interactive features of our website, there will be chances for you to share non-identifiable information about yourself, like your favorite hobbies and sports. We also allow visitors to subscribe to newsletters such as the Action Sports Network. We will notify parents of children who have signed up to receive our newsletters, and as required by COPPA, allow parents to have their kids taken off of the subscription list (to learn about how to do this, read the "Parental Options and Rights" section below). From time to time, we will also let children enter sweepstakes or contests. Information we collect will be used as described in the sweepstakes/contest information we provide at the time the program is run.
Parents, we allow you to purchase subscriptions to our fee-based services for yourself or your child. During the purchase process, we will ask for both contact information such as full name, street address, email address, as well as payment information. Payment information may be collected directly by a payment processing vendor. Information you submit will be used to process your request, to provide you with information about ActionAllStars.com or other products or services in which we believe you may be interested. Information we collect will also be used for our legitimate business purposes, including tracking usage behavior on our website and determining what areas of our site are popular (or not!), and how to best improve our site our products or our services to fit with your needs.
When someone uses this site, we collect certain non-personal information by placing and accessing cookies on the user's computer. Cookies do not contain any personal information, so we do not use cookies (or other covert or non-consensual methods) to acquire contact information about the user or other users of the computer. To learn more about cookies, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie.
ActionAllStars.com may use agents or contractors on occasion to provide services to our users, such as sending prizes to contest winners. In these cases, we require the agent or contractor to keep the information confidential, to use it only for the specific services they are performing and to delete the information after fulfilling those services. ActionAllStars.com may from time to time share information with trusted third parties with whom it is operating a joint promotion, with whom it has entered into a business agreement (one of our licensors like MLB, for example), or with a vendor who is providing services on our behalf. For example, if you win a big contest, we may let an outside company ship the prize to you. We will also disclose information we maintain as required by law through a court order or subpoena, this includes providing such information to a specific law enforcement agency's request or to protect the safety of our users.
Our site may contain links to other sites, including those of sponsors and advertisers, whose information practices may be different from ours. Visitors should consult the privacy notices on these third-party sites, since these sites are not covered by our privacy policy and may follow different procedures. If you click on one of our sponsor ads, you'll probably be taken to an outside site where the privacy rules may be different. We try to do business with companies who share our philosophy, but learn to look out for yourself: Check each site's safety and privacy statements on your own.
We have put in place standard physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect online. For areas where kids interact, we use human monitors (we call them Mods or Moderators) to oversee our virtual world to make sure everything is cool and no one is trying to pass out private information (like home address, real name, phone number, email address, etc). If you see anyone trying to share that kind of information in ActionAllStars.com - report them! And by the way, all of our Mods rock! They've been background checked, have gone through training, and have experience working with kids.
While we have created several different ways of safeguarding YOU and YOUR INFORMATION, you should also take steps to make sure you are using our website, and any interactive site, responsibly. To learn more, go to www.ftc.gov/kidzprivacy/.
Parents and legal guardians of kids under 13 have certain rights under COPPA, and we recognize those rights. Please be aware that you can consent to collection and use of your child's personally identifiable information without consenting to the disclosure of information to third parties. You also have the right to review personal information your child has submitted and request that it be deleted, and that we not collect more personal information from your child. To make this request, please email us at deactivate@actionallstars.com. We may ask additional questions or take other steps to verify the identity of parents/guardians before responding to a request to review or delete their kid's information, or a request to refuse further collection from kids.
