Safeguarding Our Visitor's Privacy

Your privacy is very important to playtictacpro.com ('TTP'). This Privacy Policy spells out our commitment to respecting the privacy of playtictacpro.com users. TTP reserves the right to change this policy, and we will notify you of any changes.

Collection Of Information

Collection of information is usually grouped into two categories: personally identifiable information and so-called 'aggregate' information. Personally identifiable information is any information in TTP's possession that is associated with a specific user of our site (such as a name or address) and information we collect about how individual visitors use our site (such as the fact what team a visitor likes or what sports he/she likes). It does not include aggregate information, which is general demographic information (such as the total number of visitors who are more than 21 years old).

Personally Identifiable Information

Playtictacpro.com uses personal information only for the following purposes:

• to process requests and orders;
• to personalize content based on visitors' interests, including making visitors aware of editorial features, advertisements, and commercial offerings that may be of interest;
• to communicate with visitors;
• to register a visitor for a contest or sweepstakes and to administer or make related offers from the same;
• to serve visitors when they have questions or problems;
• to perform normal business operations;
• to investigate complaints and protect visitors, in compliance with the law.

Playtictacpro.com contains links to a variety of providers who offer content, services and e-commerce. Many of these links may be in 'frames,' meaning that playtictacpro.com's navigation will still be visible as you move throughout the linked site(s). TTP may or may not have a formal relationship with the linked site. If we have a formal relationship, you are still covered under the TTP privacy policy. If we do not have a formal relationship with the site, please be aware that you are no longer under the TTP privacy policy. You should review the linked site's privacy policy before divulging any personal information, including your e-mail address, credit card number (for an e-commerce link), name, etc.
Your profile information (any demographic information you provide to playtictacpro.com such as zip code, age, sport, etc) may be used to create personalized content, services, and marketing on playtictacpro.com so that we can deliver information to you based on your interests and location. In addition, playtictacpro.com may provide affiliates with non-personally identifiable profile information to generate aggregate reports and market research, for example, (30% of playtictacpro.com visitors are football players in the Southwest).

From time to time, we'll make our visitorship list available to carefully selected outside organizations. We may also send approved commercial communications to visitors on behalf of outside parties. If you do not want your name, address, e-mail address or other personal information to be provided for such purposes, indicate your intent by emailing us at fundraising@playtictacpro.com with the words "opt out" in the subject line.

A Special Note Concerning Privacy and Children Online

Although the Internet offers a wealth of information and exciting opportunities to explore, some of its content may not be suitable for children. Understandably, as the popularity of the Internet has grown, so have concerns among parents. Playtictacpro.com believes that parents should supervise their children's online activities and suggests that they consider using parental control tools such as Cyber Patrol, and software manufacturers that help provide a child-friendly online environment.

Please instruct your children not to give us their name, address or e-mail address, or provide any personal information to anyone without your permission. It may also be wise to carefully note all the people with whom your child frequently corresponds over the Internet or on any online service.

Children and teenagers get a lot of benefit from being online, but they can also be targets of crime and exploitation in this as in any other environment. Trusting, curious, and anxious to explore this new world and the relationships it brings, children and teenagers need parental supervision and common sense advice to ensure that their experiences in 'cyberspace' are happy, healthy, and productive.

Guidelines for Parents

By taking responsibility for their children's online computer use, parents can greatly minimize the potential risks.
Make it a family rule to:

• Never give out identifying information - home address, school name, or telephone number - in a public message such as chat or bulletin boards, and be sure you are dealing with someone that both you and your child know and trust before giving it out via e-mail. Think carefully before revealing any personal information such as age, marital status, or financial information. Consider using a pseudonym or unlisting your child's name from Internet sites in which they participate.
• Consider keeping the computer in a family room rather than the child's bedroom. Be sure to make this a family activity. Get to know their 'online friends' just as you get to know all of their other friends.
• Get to know the Internet sites your child uses. If you don't know how to get to them, get your child to show you. Find out what types of information it offers and whether there are ways for parents to block out objectionable material.
• Never allow a child to arrange a face-to-face meeting with another computer user without parental permission. If a meeting is arranged, make the first one in a public spot, and be sure to accompany your child.
• Never respond to messages or bulletin board items that are suggestive, obscene, belligerent, threatening, or make you feel uncomfortable. Encourage your children to tell you if they encounter such messages. If you or your child receives a message that is harassing, or of a sexual nature, or threatening, alert the appropriate law enforcement agency.
• Should you become aware of the transmission, use, or viewing of child pornography while online, immediately report this Federal Bureau of Investigation and to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children by calling 1-800-843-5678.

Guidelines for Parents

• Remember that people online may not be who they seem. Because you can't see or even hear the person, it is easy for someone to misrepresent him - or herself. Thus, someone indicating that 'she' is a '12-year-old girl' could really be a 40-year-old man.
• Remember that everything you read online may not be true. Any offer that's 'too good to be true' probably is. Be very careful about any offers that involve your coming to a meeting or having someone visit your house.
• Set reasonable rules and guidelines for computer use by your children. Discuss these rules and post them near the computer as a reminder. Remember to monitor their compliance with these rules, especially when it comes to the amount of time your children spend on the computer. A child or teenager's excessive use of the interactive features of the Internet, especially late at night, may be a clue that there is a potential problem.

Because some of the content on the Internet consists of material that is adult-oriented or otherwise objectionable to some people, the results of your search may automatically and unintentionally generate links or references to objectionable material. Playtictacpro.com has no control over, and can make no claim that such surprises will not occur. Computerized search technology does not give you search results limited to only the hits that you were seeking. There may be extraneous hits as well.
