Privacy Policy

Toy Box Labs (TBL) Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how we collect and use the personal information you decide to share, and help you make informed decisions when using our site and/or applications, located at www.toyboxlabs.com and its directly associated domains (collectively, "Toy Box Labs" or "Website"). By using or accessing our site(s) and/or application(s), you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

What We Collect

TBL collects personal information when you register with TBL, when you use our social applications (SA), when you visit TBL pages or the pages of certain TBL partners, and when you enter promotions or sweepstakes provided by TBL. TBL may combine information about you that we have with information we obtain from business partners or other companies.

Other than names and email addresses provided at your discretion, we don't generally collect any “Personally Identifying Information” about our users (such as social security number, telephone number, street address, drivers license number, etc.), exception being for billing and payments where we store your billing information such as name, street address and phone number. We may offer you the opportunity to submit other information about yourself (such as gender, age, occupation, hobbies, interests, ZIP code, etc.), or we may be able to collect that information from social networking systems on which you have used our applications (in accordance with the terms of use of those systems), which would then also be covered by this Privacy Policy.

In addition to information about yourself, you may choose to share information about yourself in other content ("Content"), such as in games. Any action you perform with other players is considered public, and at your own discretion.

When you use a TBL application on your social network page or use an application on someone else's page, we may record information regarding the use of that application, and we may collect other information that is visible on your social network page in accordance with the relevant terms of use associated with that page.

Note that since most of TBL applications are served through social networks it is your responsibility to read and accept their Terms of Use, as well as Privacy Policy prior to continuing.

When you invite new members into your network or send messages through the Service, we collect and maintain on secure servers the information associated with those messages, including email addresses and content.

We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, TBL applications and other users of TBL to supplement your profile.

TBL may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other web sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by TBL.

In order to provide the best possible service and to allow us to make certain internal reports and make recommendations, we collect “activity information” such as IP addresses, browser type, browser language, referring and exit pages and URLs, other browser history, platform type, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time.

In some cases TBL serves content provided by its partners and content providers who in turn might place additional cookies on your browser or otherwise gather information about you, including by asking you to provide information through the site itself.

By using the Service, you consent to our retaining all the above-described information in anonymous form as long as TBL sees fit.

Children Under The Age Of 13

TBL does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for TBL or send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, or email address. No one under age 13 may provide any personal information to or on TBL. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at privacy@toyboxlabs.com

Children Between The Ages of 13 and 18

We recommend that minors over the age of 13 ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to anyone over the Internet.

How We Use Your Information

We do not sell or rent your “Personally Identifiable Information” to any third party. We may, however, use certain information about you that is not personal. We use public information collected to determine the kinds of content that you would like to view and to assist any advertisers with effective placement.

We also use your name, email address and other information on our system to notify you of new product releases, service notifications, and to solicit your feedback and input. Those emails will contain an “unsubscribe” link should you ever decide you do not want to receive further emails.

We may access, preserve, and disclose any information we may have about you and the contents of your account if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to avoid liability, to comply with legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order, or to protect our rights and property, or that of our affiliates or the public. TBL is not required to question or contest the validity of any search warrant, subpoena or other similar governmental request that TBL receives.

TBL may maintain copies of your Content indefinitely, or delete certain Content in whole or in part if TBL determines, in its sole discretion, that such Content constitutes an "Infringing Posting" or a "Prohibited Posting" as defined in our Terms of Use or for any or no reason.

We also use non-Personally Identifiable Information and certain technical information about your computer and your access of the Service (including your internet protocol address) in order to operate, maintain and manage the Service.

TBL may disclose information about you to its partners in order to provide the Service, resolve service problems and correct errors in the Service, to communicate with you about the Service, to provide you with advertising and promotional information in connection with the Service, and to enhance your experience on the Service. However, we do not give our partners an independent right to share this information.

TBL, certain of its partners, and each of their contractors and employees may view the Content that you transmit to the service to provide the Service and otherwise perform the tasks set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Managing your Personal Information

Be advised that if you send messages or post material containing personal information, that information may be collected and used by others. You can terminate your account at any time, which will remove your profile and other personal information from view. TBL, however, may (but is not obligated to) keep information about you that is on its system following your termination.

Others' Information

You may decide to provide us with another person's email address so that person may be invited to join TBL or so that we may facilitate your communication with other people through the Service (such as when you upload an address book).

You may also provide us with another person's contact information for purposes of delivering information through various TBL applications. We use this information to contact and, if necessary, remind that person that he or she has been invited to join TBL or received content through an application. All invitees are provided with the option not to receive further invitations from TBL. We may disclose such information if required to do so in order to comply with legal process, as described above.

Third-Party Content and Services

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our site and on certain social applications. Our system and the third-party advertising technology uses information derived from Activity Information, your visits to our site, the social applications that you view and the SNS Apps you use to target advertising within our site or Zynga games or SNS Apps. In addition, our advertisers may use other third-party advertising technology to target advertising on our site and other sites. In the course of advertisements being served to you, a unique third-party cookie or cookies may be placed on your computer. Similarly, third-party advertising companies may provide us with pixel tags (also called “clear gifs” or “beacons”) to help manage and optimize our online advertising. Beacons enable us to recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits the site on which the beacon is located, and to learn which banner ads bring users to a given site.

TBL does not provide any Personally Identifiable Information to third-party advertising companies. Note, however, that if an advertiser asks LDT to show an advertisement to users with certain characteristics (for example, women ages 18-24) or a segment of that group (for example, women ages 18-24 who have viewed certain categories of content) and you respond to that advertisement, the third-party advertising company may conclude that you have the characteristics of the audience that they are trying to reach.

Security

TBL takes appropriate precautions to protect our users' information. Your account information is located on a secured server behind a firewall. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number or your password), we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Because email and instant messaging are not recognized as secure communications, we request that you not send private information to us by email or instant messaging services.
