Privacy Policy
Cabbagepatchkids.com has created this privacy policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following statement discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for Cabbagepatchkids.com (the "Site"). The Site is dynamic and changes all the time. Children under 13 and their parents should click (here) for additional information. By visiting this portion of our site, you can expect to be notified of:
Some information given in this privacy policy is included
for future intended use. This
policy may change from time to time so please check back periodically.
What Information Is Collected and How Is It Collected
Many of the ways in which you interact
with the Site allow us to learn more about you and enhance your experience. We
collect and store statistics and other information about the online activities
of our visitors on an aggregated basis. We use your IP address (which is
the automatic number assigned to your computer when you surf the Web)
to help diagnose problems with our servers, and otherwise to administer the
Site, such as to gather broad demographic information.
We may use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your login ID so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, and for other purposes to aid in your navigation and to increase the SiteÕs ease of use. We do not, however,
use cookies in any other manner in order to identify you personally. For more information on cookies, click (here). We also track the number of people who view each
page to learn which features are the most popular, but in these instances, we
do not obtain personally identifiable information about you.
In those instances where we do collect personally identifiable
information, it is only to improve your experience on our site. Examples of
when you voluntarily submit this kind of information include when you answer
our polls, enter sweepstakes or contests, fill out the registration page, send
us feedback or post in our chat rooms or message boards.
The more accurate this information is, the better we are able to
customize your experience. Our site's registration form requires users to give
us contact information like your E-mail address. This is for personalization
purposes as well as a unique identifier that allows us to contact you when
sending our news releases, e-newsletter or to tell you that you have won one of
the sweepstakes offers available to registered users. Additional demographic
information (like birthday, profession, or reason for using
Cabbagepatchkids.com) is to help us customize your experience and develop new
features that are most relevant to our users.
We use customer contact information from
the registration form to send the user information about our company. Your
contact information is only used with your permission to provide you with
information about us from time to time (such as newsletters) and except in the
event of a merger or acquisition, will not be shared with other companies who
may want to contact our visitors, unless otherwise specified upon collection.
Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section
below.
Demographic and profile data may be used for marketing and
targeting purposes. Tracking how users interact with our site helps us to
develop new features and content. We use this data to tailor the visitor's
experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be
interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences.
Online surveys and contests, which we may conduct from time to
time, may ask users for contact information (like their e-mail address). We use
contact data from our surveys to send the user information about our company.
The user's contact information is only used to contact the user when necessary.
However, on particular pages where we ask for your personally identifiable
information, we may explicitly tell you that the data we are collecting on that
page will be shared with third parties, in which case those disclosures shall
override anything to the contrary in this policy. For example, before you
submit answers to questions we ask in an advertiser-sponsored promotion, we
will tell you that your answers will be shared with that advertiser. Users may
opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out
section below.

Cookies and Other
Tracking Methods
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on
your hard drive, not on our site. We may use cookies or, in a limited number of
cases, IP addresses for a number of reasons.
First, cookies allow you to store your password without having to
constantly re-enter it.
Second, cookies can also help us to tailor a Web site or a
marketing message to better match your needs and interests.
Third, cookies allow us to better understand how users use our
site, which in turn helps us focus our resources on features that are most
popular with our users. You are always free to decline our cookies if your
browser permits, but some parts of our site may not work properly if you do.
Public Forums

message boards available to its users. Please remember that any information
that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should

guaranteed 100% secure. We recommend that you never reveal your IDs, logins or
passwords to anyone. You will never receive a request from Cabbagepatchkids.com
for your personal information in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail. The
privacy policy described here applies only to Cabbagepatchkids.com, and not to
other companies' or organizations' web sites to which we link, or which link to
us. Also, while Cabbagepatchkids.com
hopes to provide a safe and secure online experience, be very careful about
sharing your personal information with other people you might meet as a result
