CHILDREN’S PRIVACY POLICY
United States
Visitors under 13 years of age should get the permission of their parents before providing any personally-identifiable information to anyone on the internet.
This Children’s Privacy Policy is applicable to children between the ages of 13 and 18 that are located within the United States. Our conduct is governed by federal laws and regulations that address children’s online privacy, as well as the guideline of the Childrens’ Advertising Review Unit (CARU), a part of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. We do not collect personal information from kids under 13, except as permitted by federal regulations and CARU guidelines.
For sweepstakes or contests, we may permit a child to enter by submitting a first name and email address only, along with the name and email address of his/her parent. We notify the parent via email about the child’s entry, and offer the parent the opportunity to withdraw the entry and remove the information from our database. If the parent permits the child’s entry participation in the promotion, and the child wins, we contact the parent (not the child) for information needed for prize delivery. We do not use the child’s personal information for any purpose other than completion of the promotion, and we do not share the information with third parties. We delete the child’s personal information from our database within a reasonable time after the promotion ends. We will retain parent’s personal information unless requested otherwise.
Under federal law, websites for children under 13 are prohibited from conditioning a child’s participation or the child’s disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to engage in a web site activity. We fully comply with this requirement. Upon proper identification, a parent can review personal information we have collected from their child. They may request the information be deleted, and/or refuse further collection or use of their child’s information. If you wish to do this or have any other questions/concerns, please contact us.
The Sites are a place in cyberspace where fans of Spangler Candy Company can come to find out more about their favorite flavors, play games and have their opinions heard. DumDumPops.com believes in the power of kids and we urge both them and their parents to use and enjoy our web site. While we encourage the interactive nature of online media, we strive to educate parents and kids about how to appropriately safeguard their privacy when using the web. Spangler Candy is committed to complying fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. Our information collection practices are described above. We urge kids to check with their parents before entering information on any website and we urge parents to discuss with their kids restrictions regarding the online release of personal information to anyone they don’t know. We want the Spangler Candy Company Sites to be an informative & fun site to visit.
European Union
Any child under 13 years of age or that is a “minor” as defined by applicable European Union law, rule, regulation, directive, or order, shall not provide any personal data or information to Spangler and is prohibited from registering for an account, entering any contest or promotion, contacting us for information, making any online purchase, or enrolling to receive any promotional materials from us. Any parental guardian with legal responsibility over a child located within the European Union is encouraged to contact us at the address provided below if they have any reason to suspect their minor child has provided us with personal information so that we may promptly delete and destroy such personal data.
