Sharing personal information with third parties
We may share your Personal Information with third parties for various reasons. For example, we need to share such information with companies that help us deliver requested products or services, such as a shipping company that delivers a package. These companies are generally allowed to use the information only to deliver the product or service, and we take steps to make sure that such third parties treat this information in accordance with the terms in our Privacy Policy.

On occasion, we may offer promotions in conjunction with a sponsor. We will share Personal Information with the sponsor if they need it to contact you or send you a product as part of the promotion. We may also share Personal Information with the sponsors so that they can send you other special promotions they offer, but only if you give us your permission to do so, and we will share it only with that specific sponsor.

We also reserve the right to use and disclose statistical or aggregated non-personally identifiable information as we decide in our sole discretion. By way of example, this may include sharing statistical or aggregate information about our visitors with advertisers, business partners, sponsors and other third parties. This data may also be used to customize Jel Sert website content and advertising to deliver a better experience to our visitors.

In the event of the sale or transfer of all or part of the business, certain Personal Information may be disclosed, as appropriate, to certain third parties.

Jel Sert reserves the right to disclose Personal Information in special cases, when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or take action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other Jel Sert website users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose Personal Information in response to a subpoena or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or to respond to an emergency situation.

Children's Privacy
Some portions of our website may be directed in whole or in part to children under thirteen years of age.  In these areas of our website, our conduct is governed by federal law and regulations that address children's online privacy, as well as by the guidelines of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).    You can find more information about COPPA on the FTC website at www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/biz.htm.     

We do not directly collect Personal Information from children under 13 in the child-directed areas of our website, except as permitted by federal regulations and COPPA guidelines. We do sometimes offer promotions in these areas of our website, such as a sweepstakes or contest. In those cases, we may permit the child submit a first name and email address only, along with the name and email address of his/her parent. We then notify the parent about the child's submission, and ask the parent to provide “verifiable parental consent” for the collection of the child’s Personal Information and participation in the sweepstakes or contest.  If we do not receive such consent within a reasonable period of time, we remove the submitted information from our database. If the parent provides such consent and permits the child's participation in the promotion and the child subsequently wins, we contact the parent (not the child) for further Personal Information needed for any prize delivery. We generally do not use Personal Information about the child for any purpose other than completion of the sweepstakes or contest, unless we've explicitly said so in the notice to parents. We generally delete both the Personal Information about the child and the parent from our database within a reasonable time after the conclusion of these promotions, unless the parent has given permission for us to retain the information in our files. We also might permit a child to send us an email asking us a specific question. We will respond to the child on a one-time basis, but we generally do not store the name, email address, or the email itself in our operational database.

Disclosure of Personal Information about Children

We generally do not rent or sell Personal Information about children to third parties.  In certain circumstances, we may share this information with trusted service providers that need access to this information to provide operational or other support services.  To protect the confidentiality and security of this information, these service providers must agree to safeguard all such information in compliance with our Privacy Policy, and we generally do not permit such third parties to send marketing communications to children under 13.  We also reserve the right to disclose Personal Information about children under 13 in special cases, such as where we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or take action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, website visitors, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose Personal Information in response to a subpoena or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or to respond to an emergency situation.

Parental Access and Other Matters

In general, a parent may review Personal Information that we maintain about her child, and may request the deletion of that information and direct us to not collect any further such information from her child.  The parent should contact Jel Sert using the information at the end of this Privacy Policy if she would like to access her child’s information, or if she has any other questions about our practices related to Personal Information about children.

Under federal law, websites directed to children under 13 are prohibited from conditioning a child's participation in an activity on the child's disclosing more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary to engage in the activity. We comply fully with this requirement.

Jel Sert encourages parents and guardians to monitor and participate in their children's online activities. Unless you are viewing a portion of the website directed specifically to children, no information should be submitted to this site by users under 13 years of age. Where appropriate, Jel Sert may take steps to verify the  age of visitors to help ensure compliance with these policies.
