their own privacy policies and practices, which we do not control.
General Privacy Information

collection practices, independent of TerrellOwens.com and TerrellOwens.com

Use of Information
All of the information TerrellOwens.com collects, both what you tell us
and what we collect through the use of cookies, is “aggregated”
-- meaning that the information from many users is grouped together in
a way that does not disclose the personal information of any particular
user. We may use this aggregated information to evaluate which products
and services are successful and which ones are not, and in order to evaluate
which new services we should make available on TerrellOwens.com. We may
use only the anonymous click stream data to help our advertisers deliver
better-targeted advertisements. TerrellOwens.com will not disclose any
information about any individual without the individual’s consent,
except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process. There may
be cases in which some of your personal information may be used by TerrellOwens.com
to target e-commerce promotions and telemarketing activities. In addition,
it may be shared with Third parties who assist TerrellOwens.com in producing
its Web sites or provide a service to TerrellOwens.com’s users.

Registration
Anyone who participates in interactive activities (chat, message boards,
contests, store and fantasy product purchase, membership program) on TerrellOwens.com
may be asked to register for a free guest ID and password or to complete
subscription registration for a member ID and password. We use customer
contact information from this registration form to send the user information
about our company and promotional material from some of our partners.
Financial information that is collected is used to bill the user for products
and services. The customer’s contact information is also used to
contact the visitor when necessary for customer service reasons. Unique
identifiers, such as IDs and passwords, are collected to verify the user’s
identity and for use as account numbers in our record system.
Children Under the Age of 13
We do not currently collect any personally identifiable information from
children under the age of thirteen. Under certain circumstances, visitors
may be asked to submit a screen name as a means of identifying communications
to TerrellOwens.com. Children of any age should always ask a parent for
permission before sending personal information to anyone online. If in
the future, TerrellOwens.com collects personally identifiable information
from children, it will do so in compliance with the Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (U.S.C. 6501 et seq.)
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard
drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such
as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you’ve visited.
But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information
you supply yourself. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number
to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. A cookie can’t
read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.
This random number lets us keep track of “how many” times
customers are doing specific things - like visiting our site each month
- without really knowing who those customers are. We also use cookies
to keep track of your shopping cart and to make sure you don’t see
the same ad repeatedly. We use cookies to deliver content specific to
your interests and to save your member ID. Additionally, after you’ve
entered your member ID and password during a session on our service, we
save that information so you don’t have to reenter it repeatedly
during that session. Users should be aware that TerrellOwens.com cannot
control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers
or third parties hosting data for TerrellOwens.com. If a user does not
want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple
procedure in most browsers that allows the user to deny or accept the
cookie feature; however, users should note that cookies may be necessary
to provide the user with certain features (e.g., customized delivery of
information) available on TerrellOwens.com.
Surveys
Our online surveys ask visitors for their email address and demographic
information. Demographic and profile data is also collected at our site.
We use this data to tailor our visitor’s experience at our site,
showing them content and promotional offers that we think they might be
interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences.
This information is shared with advertisers only on an aggregate basis.
We may use contact data from our surveys to send the user information
about our company and promotional material from TerrellOwens.com or some
of our partners. Users may opt out of receiving future mailings.
Contests
We run contests on our site in which we ask visitors for their TerrellOwens.com
ID and password. We use contact data from our contests to send users information
about upcoming contests and promotional offers. On occasion we will email
customers promotional material from some of our partners. The customer’s
contact information is also used to contact the visitor when necessary
for winner notification and prize delivery confirmation. The majority
of the contests that we offer are hosted on TerrellOwens.com; however,
there may be cases in which a third party sponsor will host the contest
and collect user information. In those cases, we urge users to review
the privacy statement of the third party site. Users may opt out of receiving
future mailings.
Security
TerrellOwens.com utilizes a variety of security measures to maintain the
safety of your personal information. All user contact information is contained
behind a “firewall” and only accessible by a limited number
of employees who have special access rights to production systems. Passwords
and credit card numbers are encrypted in TerrellOwens.com’s secure
database, which is also located behind a firewall. All sensitive/credit
information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
technology and then encrypted in TerrellOwens.com’s databases as
stated above. If you choose to modify your personal information or you
have forgotten your password, you may do so by submitting a valid user
ID and password for authentication. Because password and credit card information
has been encrypted, it is completely invisible to any employee who accesses
it, including our customer service team. If you desire to change your
password, the customer service representative will reset a new one after
you have properly identified yourself. |
