What information do we collect?
In order to provide our educational services in a meaningful and useful manner, we may request and/or collect information from you on a voluntary basis when you (as a parent, guardian, teacher, after school program, kids’ club, or library program coordinator or other official of such program): (1) register with us; (2) participate in contests, events or promotions; (3) send questions or comments via e-mail to our support center; and/or, (4) fill out online surveys. The requested information may include personal information such as your name and e-mail address. For some activities, we may also ask you to create a password and to provide demographic information about your children, such as gender, school and grade level. If demographic information is collected for an activity that also requires personal information, we may combine the demographic information with your personal information. This allows us to tailor the notices we send you and the content we provide you according to your preferences and interests.
We do not seek to collect or request any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, only your parent, guardian, teacher, after school program, kids’ club, or library representative, or other official of such organization, can provide any information to us about you for purposes of registration and other online activities. Kids, if you are ever unsure about anything you are seeing on this site, ask your parent, guardian or teacher for help. See Notice to Parents below for more information.

We may also ask you to provide demographic information, such as your postal code, or demographic information relating to children in your household, such as gender and grade level. We use such information to periodically contact you with relevant announcements, and to improve and tailor our educational materials.

This is the means by which we can identify the winning kids and notify the adult(s) who registered them. We will let you know if your child, child’s school, after school program, kids’ club, or library has won a prize. All promotions on the Web site are administered by us. Your personal information is not shared with any third parties, except with entities who use it solely to provide support for the operations of the promotion/contest.

We use cookies and clear GIFs to enhance your experience at our Web site. These cookies and clear GIFs let us know how many people are coming to the Web site, how frequently, and how they are using the Web site, allowing us to make updates to content and improve navigation as appropriate.
Cookies are pieces of information that we place on your computer to help us accurately understand how many consumers are visiting a particular site, how often they visit that site, and what content they are most interested in. For example, a cookie will allow us to remember certain things based on your Internet Protocol or "IP" address (an IP address is the string of numbers that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent across the Internet), such as your login information, the time and duration of your visits, how you navigated through our content and where you exited a particular site. To save you the time of re-entering your login information every time you come back to our Web sites, we may link information contained in a cookie to your e-mail address. We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that we did not originally send in a cookie.
The use of cookies by third parties is not covered by our privacy policy. We do not have access or control over these cookies.
Clear GIFs, sometimes called "Web bugs," are file objects, usually a graphic image such as a transparent one pixel-by-one pixel GIF (Graphics Interchange Format, one of the two most common file formats for images on the Web), that are placed on a Web page that are placed on a Web page or in an e-mail message to monitor user behavior. The GIF tells us the IP address of the computer that fetched our page, the URL of the page the GIF is on, the time the page was viewed, the type of browser used, and can tell us a previously set cookie value. This anonymous information is returned by the clear GIF to us and we use this information to accurately count visitors and understand how they navigate and use our network of sites. We do not combine information gathered through clear GIFs with your personal information.
Log Files
Other information passively collected by our Web site is in the form of logs - files that record website activity and gather statistics about web users' browsing habits. These entries are generated anonymously, and help us determine (among other things) how many and how often users have visited our Web sites, which pages they've visited, and other similar data. We also use the log file entries for our internal demographic studies, so we can constantly improve the online services we provide you. Log files are used internally only, and are not associated with any particular user, computer, or browser.
Linking to third party sites
To provide relevant information not found on our Web site and to facilitate the educational experience we offer, we may provide links from our Web site to third party Web sites. We will notify users when they are leaving our Web site and we encourage our users to read third party sites' privacy policies before submitting personal information.
Opt-out
If you do not want us to send you e-mails, you can opt-out at the time of registration or at the time of information collection. You may also follow the unsubscribe instructions included in each promotional e-mail. If you are receiving e-mails and at a later date you choose to opt-out and have your name removed from our e-mailing list, you can do so by sending an e-mail to our Website Administrator at support@clevercrazes.com. Please understand that if you choose to opt-out, we will be unable to notify you if your child wins a prize or helps to win a prize for his or her school, after school program, kids’ club, or library.
Safeguarding your personal information
We will only collect personal information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to serve our legitimate educational purposes, and we will take appropriate steps to ensure the security and integrity of any information (including that of children under 13) you provide to us. Any information provided to us on the Web site is housed in a secure datacenter.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however.

Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information
We do not seek to collect or request any personal information directly from children under the age of 13 ("children" or "child"). We may collect some personal information about children if it is submitted by the parent, guardian or teacher in connection with our Web site registration. If provided by the parent, guardian or teacher, we may collect and store the following types of personal information about a child under 13: child's first name, parent's or guardian's name and parent’s or guardian's e-mail address. We may also collect demographic information about a child such as the child's school, grade level and gender. We will only collect this information if it is voluntarily submitted to us by the child’s parent, guardian or teacher. For information on how we use cookies and other information collection tools, please see our section on "Cookies and Clear GIFs."
Once collected from the parent, guardian or teacher, a child's information may be used to inform a parent, guardian or teacher about a prize either by the child or the child’s school. We may also use this information for our internal demographic studies, so that we can constantly improve the educational information we provide our visitors and to better meet their needs. In addition, IF we post a photo or video on the Web site of a child, class, or school – we or the school have received written permission from all parents or guardians to post this content on the Web site.
Please note that we are prohibited from conditioning a child's participation in an activity - like contests - on the child's disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity. As indicated above, we do not seek to collect or request personal information directly from children. To read about the steps we take to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of children's personal information, please see our section on "Safeguarding your personal information."
