KinderCare.com Privacy Policy
Last Modified: July 11, 2005
KinderCare® understands the importance of protecting the privacy of all KinderCare
customers, including visitors to KinderCare.com. We believe that, as our online
visitor, you have the right to know our practices regarding the information we collect
when you visit our website, and what type of information is collected. To help ensure
a rewarding online experience for all visitors, we provide this summary of our information
practices.
These guidelines only apply to your visits to KinderCare.com, which is operated
by KinderCare Learning Centers, Inc. Other websites that are linked to or from KinderCare.com
may have different policies; therefore, please review the privacy policy notices
on those websites for details.
The Information We Collect
Through this site, KinderCare collects two kinds of information: general information
and personal information.
General information is not specific to you and cannot be traced in any way
to you. Such information includes certain non-personal information from visitors
to the site (such as the time of day the site is accessed) and certain information
in aggregate form (such as statistics relating to the number and frequency of visitors).
KinderCare also uses the technology called "cookies", which involves placing
a small text file on your computer. The cookie assigns a unique identifying number
to your web browser, allowing the KinderCare.com site to recognize your browser
(but not otherwise identify you) and passively track activities on the site. Data
collected from Kindercare.com cookies is general data and used only in the aggregate;
our cookies do not access, collect, or reveal any personal information or other data
stored on your computer.
Also, KinderCare, or third parties on its behalf, may collect anonymous information
from visits to our sites through the use of "Web Beacons." Web Beacons
are electronic images that enable us to record anonymous data about visits to our
web site. We may use this data to analyze statistics to improve our customer service.
No personal data is collected through the use of Web Beacons on our sites.
Personal information is specific to you and includes such things as your e-mail address,
name, and mailing address. This type of information is sometimes called "personally
identifiable information." The only personal information collected through
the KinderCare.com site is information you choose to supply in response to a request
or offer.
KinderCare has designed this site for parents and adult caregivers, not children.
For that reason, KinderCare does not knowingly collect personal information from
children who may visit this site, and KinderCare does not want to include any such
information in its customer databases. We recommend that parents monitor their children's
use of the Internet.
How We Use the Information
KinderCare uses general information only in ways that do not identify you, the specific
user, which means that it is never linked to personal information. In order to improve
our site and to better serve you, KinderCare may share your personal information
with its subsidiaries, affiliates, legal successors, and trusted third parties. From
time to time, KinderCare may also contact you about updates or special offers.
Changes in Privacy Policy
The terms of this policy will apply to any information collected while it is in
place. KinderCare may change its privacy policy from time to time in its sole discretion,
and if our privacy policy changes, we will change this statement and post those
changes here to keep you informed about how we treat your personal information.
Feel free to check our privacy statement for current updates whenever you visit
this site. In case of any material change, we will make a notation near the "Privacy
Policy" link on the home page of KinderCare.com.
