Privacy

Information Work & Play gathers and tracks:

Work & Play Trading Card Company, LLC (Work & Play) gathers two types of information about users:

• Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to email a friend, and from participation in polls and surveys.
• Information Work & Play gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views on our site. This information allows us to better tailor our content to our customers' needs. Under no circumstances does Work & Play divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

We may offer the following free services, which will require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:

• Electronic newsletters

We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Work & Play gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.

• "Tell a friend"

Our site users can choose to electronically forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking "tell a friend." The user must provide their email address as well as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who sent the email. The information is not used for any other purpose.

• Polling

We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. Work & Play may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, only so that they can vote just once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.

• Surveys

Work & Play may occasionally conduct user surveys to improve our products and our customer service. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

Children

Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without requesting parental consent.

Usage tracking

Work & Play tracks user traffic patterns on our site. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. Work & Play does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).

Cookies

We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain personal information, although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Work & Play uses cookies to track user traffic patterns (as described above).

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to participate actively in polling, purchases, and surveys.

Use of Information

Work & Play uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience on our site, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the site or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls and surveys. Work & Play never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors, or partners.

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas, we do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

Sharing of Information

Work & Play uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs. We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.

Security

Work & Play operates secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary, and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our customers.

Credit Card, Email Address, and Shipping Information

Work & Play customers are asked to provide their email address upon ordering cards from us. This is used to send notification of updates and changes in our services and or products, as well as to communicate with our customers about their orders.

Work & Play uses a third party (PayPal) for credit card processing. This party is solely a link in the distribution chain, and is not permitted to store, retain, or use the information provided except for the sole purpose of credit card processing.

We do not disclose to any third party the information provided by our customers. All financial/billing information is used solely to invoice our customers for our services and products. This information is not used for marketing purposes.

Opt-In Policy

With permission, Work & Play reserves the right to utilize or reproduce the name, photo and/or information contained on trading cards, or trading cards themselves, as samples, for promotional/advertising purposes including as part of our site gallery.
