Generally
Slumberkins appreciates that further privacy protections may be required with respect to Personal Information Slumberkins’ collects from children using the Services. Some features of the Services are age-gated so that they are not available for use by children. For those features, Slumberkins does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
In any instance where Personal Information is knowingly collected from a child under the age of 13, we will retain that information only so for so long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the activity or task for which the information was collected, for our internal security purposes and the security of our users, or as required by law. If at any time we discover that we have collected information from a child in a manner that is inconsistent with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), we will either delete the information or immediately seek parent or guardian consent.
Registration
If a particular feature of the Services allows children to register with Slumberkins, we may ask the child to provide certain information for notification and security purposes, including a parent or guardian’s email address, the child’s first name and gender, the child’s member or account username, and password. We may also ask for the child’s date of birth to validate their age.
Please note that children can choose whether or not to share this information with us, but certain features or functions of the Services cannot function without it. As such, if this information is not provided, the child may not be able to use these features or functions.
We will not require a child to provide more information than is reasonably necessary in order use the particular feature of the Services.
Parental Consent
Consistent with the requirements of COPPA, on any child-targeted feature of the Services, or in connection with any instance where we ask for age information and determine that the user is under the age of 13, we will ask for a parent or guardian email address before we collect any personal information from the child. We will not use parent or guardian emails provided as part of this process in order to market to the parent or guardian unless the parent or guardian has separately provided their express consent to receive such marketing communications or has separately participated in activities that allow for us to engage in such marketing activities.
In the consent email, we will explain what information we are collecting, how we plan to use it, how the parent or guardian can provide consent, and how any consent previously granted can be revoked. If we do not receive parental or guardian consent within a reasonable period of time after we send the email, we will delete the parent or guardian’s contact information, in addition to any information we have collected from the child in connection with the activity for which we are seeking consent.
Content Generated by a Child
Certain features of the Services allow children to create or use content and save it with Slumberkins. Some of these features do not require children to provide any Personal Information and as such may not require that we notify a parent or guardian or obtain parent or guardian consent. If any of these features allows a child to include or input Personal Information as part of any created content, we will either delete any such Personal Information as part of a pre-screening process, or we will seek parent or guardian consent.
Parental Choices
Parents or guardians can refuse to permit the collection of Personal Information from their children in association with a particular account at any time, and can further request that we delete any such Personal Information that we have previously collected. Such a deletion request may, however, result in the termination of the account.
Where a child has registered for an account, parents or guardians can access, change or delete information that Slumberkins has collected in connection with the account by: (i) logging into the child’s account using the child’s username and password; or (ii) contacting Slumberkins via email to privacy@slumberkins.com to request access to, change or delete the child’s personal information. Action will be taken in response to a valid deletion request within a reasonable period of time.
Please note that Slumberkins will take reasonable steps to verify a parent or guardian’s identify before granting access to a child’s account or other personal information.
Geolocation Data
If features of the Services that are directed toward children collect geolocation information that is sufficient to identify (or enable Slumberkins to identify) a particular street address, we will first seek parent or guardian consent via email.
Third Parties
Slumberkins does not currently permit any third parties to collect Personal Information from users of the Services that are directed to children under 13, or that we know children under 13 are using, except those third parties that may collect persistent identifiers, such as IP addresses, cookie information or other identifiers from devices or browsers, solely for the support of internal operations as described in this Notice.
Disclosures
We may share the Personal Information of children with our service providers if necessary for them to perform a business, professional, technical, or similar support function for us. We may further disclose such Personal Information if permitted or required by law, or in response to a law enforcement or public agency’s request. Slumberkins may further disclose such Personal Information if we believe such disclosure may prevent a crime from occurring or to facilitate an investigation related to public safety or to protect the safety of a child, to protect the security or integrity of the Services or any associated IT systems or functions or related technology, or to prevent or take precautions against potential or actual liability.
The Services are directed to users located in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States and choose to use the Services or provide your information to us, you should be aware that we may transfer your information to the United States and process it there. The privacy laws in the United States may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. Your consent to this Notice followed by your submission of information to us through or in connection with the Services represents your agreement to the transfer of your information to the United States.
We may change this Notice from time to time. If we decide to make a material change to this Notice, we will post it on this page. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of changes to this Notice will mean you accept these changes. In some cases, we may attempt to contact you through an email or other address you have provided, so we can give you choices about our using your information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection. If we make any material changes in our privacy practices that affect your Personal Information that is already in our possession, we will apply those changes to that older information only with your consent or as otherwise allowed by law.
If you have any questions about this Notice or our use of the information we collect from you in connection with the Services, email us at privacy@slumberkins.com.
