Effective Date: April 1, 2008

We know that you care about how information about you is shared and used. We want you to know that your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy describes the practices used by BoxBabble in collecting and using personal information.

Information We Collect

BoxBabble collects user submitted account information such as name and email address to identify you and send you notifications related to the use of the service. BoxBabble also collects user submitted information associated with account preferences, such as items added to the user's Product Notification list and Yuck! List, for the purpose of personalizing the user experience. BoxBabble also collects user information associated with user-contributed content, such as product and ingredient information, photos, votes, and comments, so that we can verify the accuracy of the content with the contributing user.

Some information collected is not explicitly submitted by the user; we log your browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp.

How We Use Your Information

User-contributed content is an important part of BoxBabble. Therefore, information such as your screen name, and any personally identifiable information you have included in your contributed content, may be displayed to other users of the BoxBabble Site or Services.

We may use your email address to notify you of updated information on products in your Product Notification list, send you updates or news regarding our site, or to verify information related to your contributed content.

Browser-type related information, IP address, requested URL, referring URL, and timestamp data help us administer and diagnose problems with our server and service. In addition, we use this information to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics in order to measure interest in and use of the various areas of the site.

Aggregated, non-personal information may be shared with third parties, such as the number of users that have been exposed to, or clicked on, a particular advertisement. No personally-identifiable information will be disclosed through this sharing.

Transfer of Information

BoxBabble does not sell, rent, share, trade or give away any of your personal information. BoxBabble will disclose information about individual users to governmental or judicial authorities or law enforcement agencies, or to other individuals or entities in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal processes.

If the ownership of BoxBabble were to change, your personal information may be transferred to the new owner so the service can continue operations. In any such transfer of information, your personal information would remain subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy.

BoxBabble will notify you when information about you may be provided to third parties in ways other than explained above, and you will have the option to prevent such information sharing.

Links

Our website may contain links to third party websites to which we have no affiliation. BoxBabble does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We suggest you read the privacy polices on these third party websites.

Use of Cookies

Like most websites, BoxBabble requires cookies to function properly. Cookies are small text files that reside on a user's computer and identify you as a unique user. We use cookies to refine our site and simplify the user experience. For example, the use of cookies allows registered users to enter our site without explicitly typing in their email address and password every time. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature; however, you should note that cookies may be necessary to provide you certain features (e.g., customization of your Yuck! List) available on the BoxBabble site.

Controlling Your Personal Information

As a registered BoxBabble user, you can modify your personal information at any time by accessing the "Profile" section of the site. Also, upon your request, BoxBabble will use commercially reasonable efforts to functionally remove you and your personal information from the site; however, it may be impossible to remove your entry without some residual information being retained by BoxBabble. Registered users who wish to close their account should contact boxbabble@gmail.com.

Security

Your BoxBabble account is password-protected. BoxBabble tries very hard to protect our users' information. We use industry standard measures to protect your information that is stored within our database. We limit the access to your information to those employees who need access to perform their job function such as our customer service personnel. If you have any questions about the security at our website, please contact us. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

You hereby acknowledge that BoxBabble is not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us from any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorized manner.

Children

This website is not directed to children, and BoxBabble does not knowingly solicit information from any child under the age of 13. Should a child whom we know to be under 13 send personal information to us, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or a parent or guardian) to inform him or her that we must have parental consent before receiving his or her personal information.

Terms and Modifications to this Privacy Statement

By using the website, you signify your agreement to the terms of our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the site. BoxBabble may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. If a material change is made to this Privacy Policy and/or the way we use our users' personally identifiable information, then we will post a prominent notice of the nature of such change on the first page of this Privacy Policy and also on our home page. You are responsible for reviewing this Privacy Policy periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes to it. Your continued use of the site indicates your assent to any changes to this Privacy Policy.
