Our Principles
We value your child's privacy -" Nelvana Limited ("Nelvana") is committed to following all rules, policies and laws related to the collection of data and protecting the privacy of children and adults, and adhering strictly to our policy on information collection. We value your trust - Nelvana will" not give, trade, sell or otherwise distribute the personal information you provide us.
We value your online experience -" To make your experience with us better and better, Nelvana reserves the right to analyze and summarize data that we collect. At times, we will share summaries of NON-PERSONAL data (e.g. percentage of girls vs. percentage of boys registered on our site) with sponsors or other business partners. We will never provide any specific or personally identifying information about an individual in any of these reports.
We value your time - Registration" should be easy and painless and access to, and the enjoyment of, any Nelvana web site, we feel is valuable in return.
Nelvana is committed to protecting your privacy and safety online. Nelvana encourages you, the adult, to check and monitor your child's online activities. Make sure your child knows to ask you before giving any personal information to any web site.
We have created this policy to explain why we ask for certain information when your child becomes a member, the types of information we gather, how it is used and how you or your child can change or delete the information.
Nelvana limits the collection of personal information from kids. For example, Nelvana does NOT ask for your child's full name or phone number. Nelvana will not intentionally post, sell, rent or disclose any personal information to any third parties.
Why Do We Collect Information?
At Nelvana we have created lots of fun activities that do not require you to provide any personal information at all. But by becoming a member of DIGATA.com and providing basic information to us, your child can receive email notifications, newsletters, notices, promotions, electronic postcards, the opportunity to participate in bulletin boards, online polls and surveys; and, subject to receiving your prior consent, your child can enter our online contests as well as be notified if they are a contest winner (note: declarations and releases must be signed by a parent or guardian of the winner prior to Nelvana awarding or releasing the prize). Nelvana will never require kids to provide any more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in these activities.
How We Collect and Use Information 1. Kids Registration Information - We ask for the following information when your child registers at www.DIGATA.com:
These things are required:
a) Screen name and password
b) Your child's birth date and gender
c) The country (state/province) where you live
d) A parent's email address (if the child is under 13 years of age)
e) Your child's email address
If your child submits his/her information to our site for membership and contest entry purposes, and is under the age of 13 we require parental consent prior to submission of the child's information. An email permission form is sent to the parent's email address. Through this email, parents can review the information being collected from the child, and approve of our collection of the information for membership or have this information removed from our database.
The personal information collected in the online entry form is collected and used and/or disclosed solely for the purpose of awarding contest prizes, tracking compliance with the official rules and regulations and for internal feedback purposes. Nelvana only uses and discloses a contest winner's first name after receiving prior written consent from the winner (or their parent/guardian) and the appropriate release forms are fully completed by a parent/guardian and returned to Nelvana.
All contest and stored information, including personal information, received from our visitors remains the exclusive property of Nelvana and is not sold or distributed. Contest entry names and information are seen only by Nelvana. Such information is stored in a secure location and we will retain Personal Information only as long as is required for the purposes we describe and as is required under law. Once Personal Information is no longer required (or if you have opted-out or withdrawn consent), it is our practice that it is destroyed and/or deleted.
Your child's email address is not required, but if you or your child requests our customized email news - that includes updates about activities and features, and your child's email address is provided, we can send it directly to your child. Otherwise, if you request our customized email news, without providing your child's email address we'll send it directly to your email address. If you (or your child) no longer wish to receive these messages, you can easily unsubscribe. Also, in keeping with Nelvana's belief in fostering family decisions about Internet use, members and parents may modify, review or delete information at anytime.
Nelvana won't ask for more personal info that what we deem necessary and any information we collect will be stored in a secure database only accessible by Nelvana staff.
Any personal identifiable info collected from our members is for DIGATA.com purposes only (e.g. membership verification, contest fulfillment, etc.) We will never sell or give any of this information to third parties.
We use non-personal information - like gender, birth date, and country - to customize our site for our users. Sometimes we may share aggregate, non-personal information with our partners or advertisers (i.e. 20% of our members are boys from Ohio), however specific members are never identified.
