WELCOME!

The Health Captains is a trade mark of Global Kids CareTM (GKC) and this Privacy Policy applies to the Health Captains Website, and all related websites owned by GKC and its affiliated and subsidiary companies.

This Website brings you the coolest information about the Health Captains' universe and provides a first hand look at some of our books and toys. If you are a parent or guardian and are interested in knowing more about our policy regarding the online collection of information from children, we recommend reviewing the Children's Privacy note below.

Global Kids CareTM (GKC) wants to give you the most exciting Internet experience possible and believes that your personal information—including your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card data—belongs to you. While we collect this type of information when you provide it to us, we do not rent or sell it to third parties. We use it only to process orders and to provide a more personalized shopping experience.

You can participate in many features on the Website without providing any personally identifiable information. By (1) using this Website, (2) supplying any personal information via the Website, and/or (3) supplying any personal information to GKC in response to any email or other form of communication from GKC that references this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge your agreement with this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE TERMS STATED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES GLOBAL KIDS CARETM COLLECT?

When users visit our Websites, there are two types of information that may be collected.

The first type of information is known as "personally identifiable information." In order to serve your needs and to provide improved products and services, we may from time to time request personal and private information, such as your name or company, address, contact information, education, interests, payment information when you place orders, survey information, and/or other information. You may choose to provide this information at your option. Many areas of our Website are accessible without providing any personally identifiable information. Personally identifiable information excludes any information you may choose to submit publicly, such as reviews, critiques, editorials, testimonials, documentaries, forum or blog discussions.

Orders/Accounts: You may choose to place orders or to set up an account to obtain additional information or to order products and/or services. If you place an order or set up such an account, certain private information will be needed, such as your name or company, address, contact information, and payment arrangements. We will maintain a history of orders and payments via your account for normal accounting and business purposes. GKC does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with other people or non-affiliated companies, period!

If you choose not to provide private information to this Website, alternate ordering and payment arrangements can be made by providing the necessary information via telephone, fax, or mail, or via another standard method of communication.

E-mail: By allowing you to send e-mail to us, we are not attempting to collect any personal information about you. Except as otherwise explained in this Privacy Policy, we will only use any personal information (such as name and e-mail address) contained in your e-mail to us to respond to your specific inquiry or comments in the e-mail.

Promotions: To participate in some of our promotions, you may be asked to provide an e-mail address or screen name, so that we can let you know if you won a prize. For other GKC promotions, we may request your name and home address in order to send you products or information by regular mail. We will only gather this information after we have received verifiable parental consent to do so.

We may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with the law, (2) enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements, or (3) protect the rights, property, or safety of GKC, our users, or others.

We may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to:

1. Respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

2. Believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of GKC terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.

3. Transfer information about you if GKC is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, GKC will notify you before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

The second type of information is known as "non-personally identifiable information" and is collected upon each visit to our Website. Our server automatically recognizes visitors' domain names and Internet Protocol addresses (where possible). We also collect information and statistics about how visitors use the Website. This information, which is collected and maintained in an anonymous, non-personal, and composite form, allows us to improve the content of our Website and facilitate market research.

DOES GKC USE NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION?

On occasion, we may provide non-personally identifiable information about our users, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors to help us understand this information better. However, these statistics will not include any personally identifiable information. Other than improving our Website and providing our visitors with the best experience possible, we make no other use of this information.

HOW DOES GKC PROTECT USER INFORMATION?

We use encryption technology to keep your personal information safe. All of your ordering information—including your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, and credit card data—is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security.

Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party e-commerce institution called Powerpay. Data is protected at all times using their BuySafe security system. They receive the credit card data, verify the credit card numbers and process transactions.

COOKIES

When you visit a Website, information may be stored in a file known as a "cookie." This file is stored on your computer and is used for future reference. If you revisit a Website, the cookie allows that Website to identify you as a returning guest and tailor your shopping experience to you.

We use cookies in two places. The first is when a user places an order. We use cookies to fill in their name and e-mail address in the form where appropriate (this is known as "auto-fill.") The second is when a customer uses the Contact Us page. Again, we use cookies for auto-filling the form.

Most Web browsers will allow you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your Web browser's help file to learn more about these functions.

The information contained in our cookies is only used by GKC. Your Web browser will not pass a cookie to a site other than the one that created it.

SECURITY

GKC is committed to maintaining the privacy of your personally identifiable information, and will treat the privacy of your information with the same or greater security protections as we provide for our own private information. GKC Websites have industry-standard security measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While there is no such thing as "perfect security" on the Internet, we take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of all information. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all employees are kept up to date on our security and privacy practices.

YOUR CONSENT AND NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES

By using this Website, products, and services, you consent to the terms of this policy. If our privacy policy changes, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of access, security, control of personal information, how information will be used, and whether it will be provided to third parties. Your continued use of the Website constitutes your consent to the updated policy.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Visitors to this Website may participate in many activities without providing any personally identifiable information. However, if a visitor wants to participate in certain of our interactive features, we may ask the visitor to register and provide us with their e-mail address and age information. When the person who registers indicates that he or she is 13 years or younger, we will either collect no personally identifiable information from that individual or, if we are collecting personally identifiable information, we will inform the child that verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian is required. We may collect the e-mail address of the user's parent or legal guardian in addition to the user's e-mail address, and use the e-mail address of the parent or legal guardian to seek that person's verifiable consent and ask the parent or legal guardian to provide certain personal information including home address. In the alternative, GKC may notify the parent or legal guardian of his/her child's online activities and enable that person to unsubscribe his/her child from a newsletter or other similar activity. If a user is 13 years or younger, we will not condition his/her participation in an online activity on the disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity. We do not share children's information with outside third parties not bound by this Privacy Policy.

Parents or legal guardians may at any time review, update or delete from our database any personally identifiable information that we have collected online from their child and/or request that there be no further collection or use of their child's information by sending an e-mail to info@healthcaptains.com.

Please be sure to include in your message the e-mail address you used to register so that we can verify your request.
