This Privacy Policy consists of two sections. Section I describes
PN policies applicable to the collection, use, and disclosure of
personal information furnished to us by visitors to our Site who
are age 13 and over. Section II describes special additional policies
PN applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information
about visitors to our Site under the age 13. Parents should read
both Sections to fully understand PN's privacy policies and practices.
I. INDIVIDUALS AGE 13 AND OVER
COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION BY PN
General. PN only collects personally identifiable information
(information such as a visitor's name, e-mail address, mailing
address, or telephone number) that is voluntarily submitted to
us. Visitors may be asked to give this information in connection
with our contests, sweepstakes, games, surveys, forums, subscription
registrations, content submissions, chat rooms, bulletin boards,
requests for suggestions, visitors' requests for products or services,
and visitors' requests for additional information.
Joint Collection of Personal Information. Sometimes PN
collects personal information jointly with business partners or
sponsors. The identity of these other parties collecting personal
information is made clear at the time your personal information
is collected. A description of shared use can be found in
the rules for sweepstakes and promotions, and in the specific Terms
of Use for this Site. The identity of the entities collecting personal
information is made clear at the time your personal information
is collected.
WHAT PN DOES (AND DOESN'T DO) WITH THE PERSONAL INFORMATION
WE COLLECT
General. PN uses personally identifiable information only
for the purpose for which it is submitted unless we disclose other
uses at the time of collection, in which case you will have the
opportunity to inform us not to use you data in other ways (i.e., "opt-out").
Sharing Personal Information. PN may share personally identifiable
information with other Premium SITES companies or with some of
our business partners who would like to send you information about
their products or services. However, when you submit your information,
you will have the opportunity to let us know if you do not want
us to share your information in these ways.
LINKS/CO-BRANDED SITES
PN has established relationships with advertisers and business
partners that allow visitors to our Site to link directly to sites
operated by these partners. Some of these sites may be "co-branded" with
a PN logo; however, they are not operated or maintained by PN and
we are not responsible for the content or practices of Web sites
operated by third parties that are linked to our Site. These links
are meant for the user's convenience only. Once you have left this
Site via such a link, you should check the applicable privacy policy
of the third party site. We are not responsible for any information
these sites may obtain and do not oversee their policies or practices
in collecting personal information.
NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
When visitors come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information
indicating, among other things, which web pages were visited, the
order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks, if any,
were "clicked" by the visitor. Collecting such information involves
the logging of operating systems (e.g., Windows or Macintosh),
type of browser software (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer), Internet service providers (e.g., AOL or NET.COM) and
IP addresses used by each visitor to the Site. Although such information
is not personally identifiable, it can be used to determine the
IP address of the visitor's Internet Service Provider and the geographic
location of his or her point of connectivity to the Internet.
Cookies are small bits of information that our site places on
the hard drive of your computer to enable us to do a number of
things to make your visit and future visits to the site more enjoyable.
For example, cookies allow a visitor to quickly log on to a site
he/she has used before by storing a password. Most major sites
on the Internet use cookies. The cookie does not contain any personally
identifiable information about a visitor, and PN does not use cookies
in order to get such information. PN will never save credit card
information in cookies. Visitors may receive cookies from third
parties, but PN cannot control the content of these cookies. You
should consult your browser's documentation or "help" feature for
instructions on how to be notified and control whether cookies
are transferred to you computer.
PN uses the information obtained through the use of cookies in
order to improve the Site. By obtaining this information, we are
able to continually improve our Site and bring you the best online
experience possible. By tracking how many people visit our Site
and where visitors go on our Site, we are able to determine which
part of the Site users like the best, which part needs some improvement,
and what changes should be made. PN may also disclose some of the
non-personal information we obtain to advertisers to inform them
of how many people have seen or linked to their advertisements
on our Site. However, we will never disclose personally identifiable
information to these advertisers without your consent.
REVIEWING OR DELETING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Visitors may review or delete personal information from our records
at any time. If you would like to review or delete your personal
information, please contact us by filling out the form here .

we will immediately delete your information from our database and
refrain from collecting any other personally identifiable information
from you, if you so request. However, there may be residual information
that will remain within our databases that may or may not contain
personally identifiable information. This residual information
will not be given to any other third party or used for any commercial
purpose.

II. ADDITIONAL POLICIES THAT APPLY TO CHILDREN UNDER 13
KIDS AND INTERNET SAFETY
We at PN understand that the Internet presents an opportunity
for us to reach the public in new and exciting ways with information
about our contests and sweepstakes, fun games, e-mail, chat rooms,
bulletin boards, and other forms of interactivity. PN also recognizes
the privacy concerns of parents, and the importance of protecting
the privacy of the information this Site collects from kids. Parents
of kids who visit this Site can be confident that any personal
information that may be provided to this Site will be collected
and maintained in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act ("COPPA"). PN encourages parents to supervise their
kids' activities online and to participate in their kids' online
activities whenever possible. However, we understand that parents
may not always be able to supervise their kids' activities on the
Internet. That's why PN has developed a Site that parents can feel
is safe for their kids and kids will find educational, informative,
and fun! Because there's always room for improvement, PN welcomes
any suggestions on how to make the Site a better, safer place to
visit.
COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FROM
CHILDREN UNDER 13
PN does not require the disclosure of more personally identifiable
information from children under the age of 13 than is reasonably
necessary for him or her to participate in an activity on our Site.
We may use personally identifiable information submitted to this
Site by kids under 13 in a variety of ways, which are described
below. In each instance, we comply with the parental consent requirements
of COPPA .
A. Use of a Child's Information by PN. We may collect
a child's e-mail address in connection with a contest, sweepstakes
or game for the purpose of communicating with the child on a one-time-only
basis (i.e., to contact a contest winner). Parental consent is
obtained before we send the winner a prize. We may collect a child's
e-mail address in order to respond more than once to a child's
specific request. For example, the child may want to subscribe
to an online newsletter or receive other online communications
from PN. In these instances, PN will also obtain a parent's e-mail
address along with the child's. Before any further contact with
the child, PN will send an e-mail to the parent (a) notifying him
or her that we have collected the child's e-mail address in order
to respond more than once to the child's request for a subscription,
information, etc; (b) informing the parent that he or she can refuse
us permission to contact the child, and how to do so; and (c) informing
the parent that if he or she does not respond to the e-mail within
two (2) weeks, PN may use the child's information for the purpose
for which it was submitted. We may collect a child's personally
identifiable information (including name, e-mail address, mailing
address, and phone number) for such activities as joining the Premium
Kids Club, chat rooms, forums, surveys, games, bulletin boards,
requests for suggestions, subscription registrations, requests
for products or services, content submissions or requests for additional
information. In these instances, we will initially collect only
the child's name and online contact information and the e-mail
address of the child's parent. Before using this information for
any purpose, we will send the parent an e-mail that (a) lets the
parent know that we wish to collect and use the child's personal
information and need the parent's consent to do so, and (b) provides
the parent with a link to access this Privacy Policy, which describes
our information collection and use policies as required by COPPA.
If the proposed use of the child's personal information does not
involve disclosure to a third party, then PN will ask the parent
to provide consent by return e-mail. Upon receipt of the e-mail
consent, we will send the parent a confirming e-mail. If the proposed
use of the child's personal information involves disclosure to
third parties, the e-mail we send to the parent will ask the parent
either to (i) return by postal mail or fax a consent form that
will be attached to the e-mail, or (ii) call a toll-free number
where consent can be given over the phone. If parental consent
is not obtained by one of these methods within one (1) week, PN
will delete all of the child's and parent's personally identifiable
information from its records. In addition, parents can revoke a
prior consent at any time. We may collect a child's name and e-mail
address to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the security
of this Site, to protect against liability, or as required or permitted
by law. Information collected for these reasons will not be used
for any other purpose.
B. Sharing Children's Personal Information with Third Parties. PN
may share a child's personal information with our affiliated companies
and promotional partners for their marketing purposes. PN will
only share personal information about a child with third parties
if PN has received parental consent. As noted above, parents may
exercise their option not to consent to the disclosure of their
child's personal information to third parties.
LINKS/CO-BRANDED SITES
As mentioned in Section I of this Privacy Policy, this Site may
link to sites operated by PN's business partners, advertisers,
and affiliated companies. Those sites, which are not controlled
by PN, may collect personal information from your child. Parents
should therefore check the relevant site's privacy policy to understand
how it collects and uses kids' personal information. PN will not
share in any personal information obtained by a site from a child
under the age of 13 unless that site follows the requirements of
COPPA.
REVIEWING OR DELETING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION COLLECTED
FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13
Parents may review or delete personal information about their
kids from our records at any time. If you would like to review

information, we will immediately delete your child's information

identifiable information from your child. However, there may be
residual information that will remain within our databases that
may or may not contain personally identifiable information. This
