Show and Know Privacy Policy
Effective March 28, 2009
Show and Know is managed and operated by Show and Know LLC, 327 E 300 N, Richfield, Utah 84701, USA (”Show and Know”).
This Privacy Policy describes the use of information by Show and Know.
Show and Know is a website which is safe for all ages. Our primary goal is to maintain and keep safe any private information that we collect on the Show and Know website. Our privacy policy and our information practices are compliant with privacy protection laws and legislation including the:
United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
European Data Protection legislation
Canadian federal and provincial privacy legislation
This Privacy Policy describes the Show and Know website information practices, including how we collect, use and disclose personal information.
About the Information We Collect
As part of our initial registration on Show and Know, we collect the following information:
Data that is collected at registration for children under 13:
User name, Password, Your first name, Your last name, Parent’s email address
Data that is collected at registration for all others:
User name, Password, Your first name, Your last name, Email address
When a registered member of Show and Know purchases a school membership, additional personally identifiable information (”PII”) from the registered member 13 or over or the registered member’s parent for children under 13 may be collected. School memberships may include additional terms of use and/or privacy policies, which will be made available when such memberships become available.
The types of PII that may be collected at that time include:
Members full name, e-mail address to use for membership account, credit card billing information including mailing address and phone number, and such other information as may be necessary to process payment.
The Show and Know website does not condition a child’s participation in any activity on the site on disclosure of more personal information than necessary to participate in any activity.
How we handle PII within projects submitted to Show and Know:
All players are told to not supply any PII within the projects’ content they post on the Show and Know Service. All posts are moderated in an attempt to ensure compliance. If players post PII within their projects, whether by accident or design, their use of the service may be temporarily or permanently suspended. Further, this offending project may be permanently edited or deleted from the Show and Know Service, and in severe or repeat offenses, all of their projects may be permanently deleted. All edits or deletions are permanent and are made at Show and Know’s sole discretion, as specified in Terms of Use.
Parents and others concerned about PII disclosures within specific projects are encouraged to contact Show and Know staff immediately at showandknow@gmail.com with a subject which alerts staff that the email concerns PII.
How we notify parents of children under 13 if their child has created an account on Show and Know:
Show and Know website requires players under age 13 to give a parent’s valid email address when they create their account. This e-mail address is used to send the parent a message in email that they must act upon to complete the registration of their child’s account on Show and Know. So that parents are aware of our privacy policies, the email includes a link to this privacy policy in the message and information on how to contact us.
We may also use the email address to send messages and information about your account or notices about Show and Know and its related companies and affiliates. The email may also be used for any other purposes described in this Privacy Policy. This email address is associated with the registered account user name.
We may also ask for a user name and email address when a registered user submits a communication through a contact form or project submittal form of the Show and Know website so that we may answer any questions or reply to comments. In the case of a child we delete any email address immediately after responding to the child’s inquiry.
In cases where players can contribute opinions to surveys and polls on the website, players may be asked to provide data that is not considered PII, such as favorite choices and country where player resides. Registered players can participate in the comment areas on the website, however measures have been implemented so that players cannot provide personal information through comments.
Passive information that we collect on registered users includes certain non-personally identifiable information about the player’s computer, such as the players IP address, the type of web browser, the type of computer operating system, and data regarding the player’s Internet service provider. This information may be associated with any PII that we have collected and as a result will be treated as PII.
For players with school memberships, the financial information collected as described in item 6 of this Privacy Policy is not used for any other purpose than processing payments to Show and Know. Any financial information that is required and entered when purchasing a membership is not maintained or stored on Show and Know servers. It is only on the secure servers used by the payment processing company for the reasons of processing payments made to Show and Know.
If the personal information necessary to create an account is not provided by a player, then Show and Know may not agree to provide membership and/or access to some content and features on the Show and Know website. In addition, we may not be able to provide other services, functionality, information, or products which may be requested.
How We Disclose, Store and Use Collected Information:
Besides the purposes outlined in Item 1, Show and Know may actively collect and use email addresses and user names to monitor and track usage and player compliance with the website’s Terms of Use and Rules and Regulations.
The registered player’s email address and user name may also be utilized to enforce compliance with the Terms of Use. This enforcement may include suspending a player account temporarily or permanently from the Show and Know website if a player fails to use appropriate behavior on the website. In addition, registered player email addresses and user names can be used by parents of children under 13 to enable parents to review PII that the children have submitted to the Show and Know website. It may also be used to notify registered players or parents of any information regarding the site, such as any amendments to this Privacy Policy. The aggregated information may also be used to analyze statistics and usage on the website, and to offer programs, products, or services related to Show and Know.
Any collected information may be disclosed if required by law, for example, in reply to a subpoena or court order. We may also need to disclose information to service providers or companies providing support for the operations of the website which would not be used or disclosed for any other reason or purpose. We may also disclose PII in reply to a public or law enforcement agency’s request including schools or children services, to the extent permitted by law. We may also disclose this information if we feel that by doing so, it would protect the safety of a child who is a player on our website, or to prevent the instigation of a crime, or to facilitate a public safety related investigation, or to protect the security of the website, or to enable us to take reasonable steps to reduce liability.
In the event that Show and Know is sold in entirely, or in any part, or that or is involved in any business restructuring or merger, PII may be transferred to a third party associated with that transaction, as permitted by and in compliance with applicable law.
Finally, for reasons of security PII may be transferred and stored outside of the jurisdiction of members of Show and Know.
