Fleischer Studios, Inc. (“Fleischer”), treat the personally identifiable
information that is collected about you when you visit the web site to which

Information This Privacy Policy Does Not Apply To:
This privacy policy does not apply to information collected about you by anyone
other than us (and any third party service providers acting on our behalf) and
only applies to the Bettyboop.com web site. Any information you provide when you
visit web sites other than those covered by this policy or when you purchase any
products or services that may be offered or advertised on our web site by
companies other than us is subject to the privacy policies posted on such sites
by our affiliates, or, as applicable, the third party organizations who run
and/or own these web sites. This policy also does not apply to information you
may provide to us offline.
We collect
no personally identifying information about our users unless they knowingly
provide us with some. We may place a "cookie" (a small file that contains no
personal information) in your computer's browser file, which helps us gather
information about your use of the site to better serve all our visitors, and
which enables us to provide you some of the games and features on our site.
We may use any personal information you send, such as name, age,
location, and personal preferences, for content or for marketing and promotional
purposes or to send you our newsletter, and we may share your personal
information with third parties who may choose to contact you to promote their
own goods and services.
If you want us to stop using your personal
information in this way, please let us know by sending an e-mail request to boopwebmaster@hearst.com.
When you enter a contest on our site, we may give
your personal information to the contest sponsor who may also use it, and allow
others to use it, for marketing purposes.
Any time we pass your
information to a third party, we expect them to follow privacy policies just
like we do, but that is not guaranteed. We do not bear any responsibility for
any actions or policies of these third parties.
When you voluntarily
give out any personal information, like your name, mailing address, telephone
number, city, or school, in chat areas or on bulletin boards, that information
can be collected and used by others. They may send you messages that you don't
want or that are inappropriate. We suggest that you never post this type of
information in chat rooms, or other areas open to the public, for your own
safety.
All areas on this site are public and not private communications. Chats and other communications by our users are not necessarily our viewpoints and should not be viewed as being endorsed by us. We have the right to remove, without notice, any inappropriate content received from a user.
This site is intended for use by those who are at least 13 years old. This site will not knowingly accept personal information from any user under 13. If parents believe that any child has accessed our system without permission, they may contact us at boopwebmaster@hearst.com. Users under 18 should ask their parents for permission before sending any information about themselves to us or to anyone else over the Internet.
King Features, a division of Hearst Holdings, Inc., and Fleischer Studios, Inc., reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time in their sole discretion effective upon posting.
