Privacy Policy
Protecting your privacy is important to Dropkick Studios. We strive to keep your personal information confidential. By ensuring that you are aware of and understand the Dropkick Studios Customer Privacy Policy, we can provide you with better service. Please take a moment to read the following policy to learn how we handle your personal information.
Why we collect personal information
Dropkick Studios collects and uses your personal information to give you superior customer service, to provide you with convenient access to our products, and to make a wider range available to you. In addition, we use your personal information to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, special offers, and other information we think you'd like to hear about.
How we collect personal information
We collect information about you in several ways. For example, we might ask for your contact information when you correspond with us or make a purchase. In addition, when you register to purchase products, or ask to be included in an email mailing list, we collect and store the information you provide.
When we disclose personal information
We do not sell our mailing list. At times we may be required by law or legal process to disclose your personal information.
We restrict access to personal information to Dropkick Studios employees, contractors and agents who may need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
How we protect your personal information
Dropkick Studios safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.
Dropkick Studios uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. To make purchases from Dropkick Studios, you must use an SSL-enabled browser. This protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it is transmitted over the Internet.
For credit card transactions, Dropkick Studios adheres to the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. We require that site owners provide a credit card number, which is used for processing recurring monthly charges on our site. Dropkick Studios uses the Authorize.net Customer Information Manager for recurring transactions. Authorize.net CIM is a leading PCI-compliant solution used to process recurring credit card transactions and safeguard your credit card information. Your credit card number and expiration date is never stored anywhere on our servers.
Access to your personal information
You always have access to the information we have about you. To review and update your personal contact information, simply login to assignr.com and click your name in the upper right corner of your screen.
Use of assignr.com by minors
Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We prohibit children under the age of 13 from using all interactive portions of the website. We will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. We understand that young people need special safeguards and privacy protection. We realize that they may not understand all the provisions of our Privacy Policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available to our adult users. We strongly urge all parents to participate in their children's exploration of the Internet and any online services, and to teach their children about protecting their personal information while online.
Collecting other personal information
When you browse the public areas of the assignr.com website, you are able to do so anonymously. Generally, we don't collect personal information when you browse -- not even your email address. Your browser, however, does automatically tell us the type of computer and operating system you are using.
If you have logged into the assignr.com with your user name and password, we do keep logs of what links you have clicked on while visiting our site.
Like many websites, the assignr.com website uses "cookie" technology. When you first connect to our site, the cookie identifies your browser with a unique, random number. The cookies we use do not reveal any personal information about you, except perhaps your first name so we can welcome you on your next visit. Cookies help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can make the site even better.
In some of our email to you, we use a "click-through URL." When you click one of these URLs, you pass through our web server before arriving at the website that is your destination. We track click-throughs to help us determine your interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.
Dropkick Studios does not knowingly solicit personal information from children or send them requests for personal information.
The assignr.com website contains links to other sites. Dropkick Studios does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.
If we are going to use your personal information differently from that stated at the time of collection, we will try to contact you via email using the most recent information we have. If you have not given us permission to communicate with you, you will not be contacted, nor will we use your personal information in a new manner.
The Dropkick Studios Customer Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. We encourage you to review the privacy policy regularly for any changes.
