Privacy Policy - Johnny Lightning

Acknowledgement and acceptance of terms
JohnnyLightning.com (RC2) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement sets forth our current privacy practices with regard to the information we collect when you or your computer interact with our website. By accessing www.JohnnyLightning.com you fully acknowledge this Privacy Statement and freely consent to the information collection and use practices described in this Website Privacy Statement by JohnnyLightning.com (RC2).

When information is collected
RC2 does not collect information about you when you passively visit and browse our website. If, however, you register on the site to enroll in the Collectors Club, and/or participate in website activities such as sweepstakes, contests, promotions, purchase products, respond to on-line questionnaires, or provide comments by e-mail, certain personal or demographic information may be collected. We will provide you with the means to ensure that personally identifiable information in your web account file is correct and current. You may review this information on the site at the Profile page of the Collectors Club within www.JohnnyLightning.com.

What information is collected
Depending on the website activities in which you participate, you may be asked for your name, password, user id, e-mail and/or home address, phone number, age, year of birth, gender, purchasing preferences and history, demographic information, and other information that permits RC2 to more effectively provide you with information about our products. You may elect to receive e-mail updates by indicating your choice on the Registration page. In that case, we will ask for and keep on file news you wish to receive and categories that best describe you. With your consent, certain information can be retained to facilitate future ordering. When it is not necessary to personalize the information collected, we will normally use only your user id or password for the collection and storage of data.

How collected information is used or disclosed
No information will be collected by RC2 unless it is for a reasonable business purpose, and any information collected will generally be used only in connection with the intended purpose. Accordingly, if you are asked to respond to a questionnaire, that information may be used to improve the quality of our service or products. In the case of a sweepstakes, we may use the information obtained to notify you in the event you are a prize winner. We will not use the information to send you unsolicited materials unless we have first obtained your consent. The information will only be shared with corporate affiliates of RC2 and third party service providers (i.e., sweepstakes administration, etc.). Third parties receiving any such personal information about you will execute agreements to protect the confidentiality of the information. RC2 may be required to provide information in response to court orders, subpoenas, law enforcement investigations, or other legal directives. In addition, RC2 may reasonably use collected information to defend itself against certain claims. Information collected from you may be used anonymously in composite or summary form for marketing research or other similar purposes. In the event RC2 of any of its affiliates is a party to a merger, sale, acquisition, liquidation, or similar event, the information collected from you may be transferred as part of the transaction to other parties to the transaction.

JohnnyLightning.com (RC2) collects certain information from and about its users three ways: Directly from our Web Server logs, with Cookies, Web beacons, or GIF files and the user.

b. Use of Cookies, Web Beacons, or GIF Files

JohnnyLightning.com (RC2) may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.

JohnnyLightning.com (RC2) reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into www.JohnnyLightning.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).

We will use submitted information (such as user id, e-mail, etc.) in addition to cookies to integrate third party subsidiary sites within the JohnnyLightning.com site.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our Website.

WWW.JOHNNYLIGHTNING.COM web pages may contain either JavaScript or electronic images (sometimes also called single-pixel gifs) known as Web beacons that allow JohnnyLightning.com (RC2) to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. JohnnyLightning.com (RC2) may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon. Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or e-mail communications. These Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or e-mails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and e-mails bring you to our website and how you use the site.

c. Collectors Club
