Effective Date: February 27, 2013
This Privacy Policy applies only to the websites controlled by Storm Warriors International, Inc, doing business as Storm Warriors and/or its subsidiary and affiliated entities (“The Super Snoopers”, “we” or “us”) where this Privacy Policy is posted (each a “Site” and collectively, the “Sites”), including thesupersnoopers.com. We know that you care about how information about you is used and shared, and your privacy is of the utmost importance to The Super Snoopers. We promise that we will use information about you carefully and sensibly. This Privacy Policy describes the information that we collect about visitors to our Site, including children, how we use that information and how we protect that information. It also discusses certain choices you have regarding your personal information.
BY USING THE SITES, YOU CONSENT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND TO OUR PROCESSING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR THE PURPOSES STATED BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITES.
In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) we do not ask for, collect, or share personally identifying information from users under the age of 13 without first obtaining verifiable parental consent. We have technical measures in place to prevent all users from sharing personal information with us.
A. Information Collected
This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected on the Sites and does not apply to information collected by The Super Snoopers through any other means. All of this information is governed by this Privacy Policy, unless it is indicated otherwise at the time the information is collected or submitted. If special terms are indicated, then those terms, not these, would apply. For details on the information collected and used from children under the age of 13, see Section D below, or click here.
The information we obtain about you falls into two categories: (1) Personally Identifiable Information; and (2) Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
1. Personally Identifiable Information. “Personally identifiable information” is information that identifies you personally, such as your name, age, address, telephone number, or email address. This information can be submitted by you voluntarily or involuntarily. The Super Snoopers collects and stores the personally identifiable information that registered users have provided to us. Here are some examples of manners in which we may collect your personally identifiable information on the Sites:
– If you become a Super Snoopers Member we may collect your and your child’s first and last name, and email address.
-We may collect your email address if you contact us with a question.
The above list provides examples of the personally identifiable information that may be collected on the Sites. If you do not want The Super Snoopers to collect your personally identifiable information, please do not provide it to us.
2. Non-Personally Identifiable Information. “Non-personally identifiable information” can be technical information or it can be demographic information, such as your age, gender or interests. This information can be submitted by you voluntarily or involuntarily whether or not you are a registered user. Non-personally identifiable information does NOT identify you personally. Here are some examples of the non-personally identifiable information that are collected via the Sites and a description of how this information is used:-Technical Information. We may collect information about our users for each Site interaction and visit, including your IP address, your browser and available software and hardware information, whether you were referred to our Site by a search engine (including the search terms used to find us) or link from another Site or offline resource (such as a DVD or CD). This is used to improve our Site and messaging efficiency, learn more about where our users come from and understand how our users use and ways to improve our Site.
-Internet Protocol (IP) address. Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet know where to send you data, such as the web pages you view. We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our Sites to the interests of our users and to measure traffic within our Sites.
-Cookie. A “cookie” is a small text file that may be used to collect information about your activity on the Sites. For example, when someone visits a page within the Sites, a cookie is placed on the user’s machine (if the user accepts cookies) or is read if the user has visited the Sites previously. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but if you do, you may
not be able to take advantage of the personalized features enjoyed by other users to our Sites.
-Web Beacons (also known as “clear gifs,” “web bugs” or “pixel tags”). “Web Beacons” are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Sites and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, web beacons can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.
-Demographic Information. “Demographic Information” may be your gender, age, zip code, time zone, and interests, which you voluntarily provide to us on the Sites or via email. We use this information to provide you with personalized services and to analyze trends to ensure the information provided by the Sites meets your needs. Please note that we also consider aggregated information, which is not personally identifiable, to be non-personally identifiable information.
The above list provides an example of the non-personally identifiable information that is collected via the Sites.
B. Use of Information Collected Via the Sites
1. Personally Identifiable Information. We use your personally identifiable information that is collected on these Sites primarily for the following purposes:
-To alert you to special offers, updated information and other new services from The Super Snoopers, or other third parties, or to forward promotional materials;
-To fulfill the terms of a promotion; -To ensure the Sites are relevant to your needs; -To help us create and publish content most relevant to you; -To notify you about a material change to this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions of Use, if necessary; -To allow you access to limited-entry areas of the Sites; and -To contact you in response to sign up forms such as “Contact Us”.
C. Sharing and Disclosure of Information
1. Personally Identifiable Information. We may share or disclose your personally identifiable information in the following instances:
-To unaffiliated third-party service providers, agents or independent contractors who help us maintain our Sites and provide other administrative services to us (including, but not limited to, order processing and fulfillment, providing customer service, maintaining and analyzing data, and sending customer communications on The Super Snoopers’s behalf. We seek to ensure that these unaffiliated third parties will not use the personally identifiable information for any other purpose than to provide the administrative services for which they are responsible. Because such unaffiliated third-party service providers that help us administer our Sites will have access to users’ personally identifiable information, if you do not wish for our unaffiliated third-party service providers to have access to your information, please do not register or submit any personally identifiable information to us.
-To third parties as part of any corporate reorganization process including, but not limited to, mergers, acquisitions, and sales of all or substantially all of our assets.
-To protect against potential fraud, we may verify with third parties the information collected from these Sites.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information as required or permitted by law, or as we believe may be necessary (as determined in our sole and absolute discretion) to protect the integrity of our Site, ourselves or our affiliates, or the safety, privacy and well-being of our users, ourselves and third-party providers or members of the public including the use of and providing information to third-parties:
•To comply with valid legal process including subpoenas, court orders or search warrants. •To respond to official inquiries of governmental authorities. •In cases involving risks to any person or other emergencies, Terms of Service violations, and to evaluate and defend against legal claims in any forum. •To outside auditors, legal professionals, security consultants and regulators. •To prevent or manage what we, in our sole and absolute discretion, believe to be the unlawful or abusive use of our services or the Site or anticipated harm to our users, the public, the Site or ourselves.

or functions necessary to operate our Site and offer and deliver products and services to you. We share personally identifiable information about our users (to the extent we have such information) only with those involved in providing services, functions or professional advice to us or as outlined below. We share information with those third- parties and vendors to the extent necessary for them to perform their function on our behalf. All of these third-parties must agree to protect the privacy and security of our users and not to use information they receive during the course of their duties for any purpose other than for which it was provided.
Be assured that we will not sell your personally identifiable information to others except in connection with a sale of our assets, or a change in control transaction involving The Super Snoopers.
2. Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We use non-personally identifiable information collected on the Sites in the manner disclosed above, in the Section A(2). We may share this non-personal information with third parties, including providing non- personal summary information and general analytics.
D. Collection and Use of Information from Children Under the Age of 13
1. Overview. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from children less than 13 years of age. This Section describes our practices with respect to information we collect from you, as well as from your child. Under COPPA, we may not, and we do not, condition your child’s participation in any The Super Snoopers activity on the provision of more information than is reasonably necessary for your child to participate in that activity.
2. Personally Identifiable Information Collected from Children.
-Email Communication. Prior to setting up a Super Snoopers Membership, if your child contacts us by email, we use the email address (which is personally identifiable information) only to respond to your child’s specific request or question, after which the address and any other personal information submitted are deleted.
3. Parental Consent. When your child is asked to provide personally identifiable information, we will first collect your (the parent’s) email address and use this information to contact you (the parent) by email to notify you that your child wishes to provide personally identifiable information to us, describe the purposes for which the
personally identifiable information is collected, and provide you an opportunity to opt- out of the collection of the information. For example, upon registering as a The Super Snoopers Member, you will receive an email requesting your consent for your child’s access to the membership portions of the Sites. The email will include details on how the parent may (i) provide The Super Snoopers with consent; (ii) prohibit The Super Snoopers from any further contact with the child; or (iii) delete the child’s personally identifiable information. You have the option to consent to the collection and use of your child’s personally identifiable information without consenting to our disclosure of such information to unaffiliated third parties.
4. Use of Personally Identifiable Information Collected from Children. When we collect personally identifiable information from children, we will only use that information for the express purpose for which it was collected.
5. Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information Collected from Children. Except as provided in Section C(1) above, we do not share personally identifiable information collected from children with any third parties.
6. Non Personally Identifiable Information. We collect and store the non-personally identifiable information that is described in Section A(2) of this Privacy Policy. We do not, however, link this information to personally identifiable information when it is collected from children.
7. Note to Parents and Legal Guardians. Please contact The Super Snoopers at any time regarding privacy questions or concerns, or to request to review what personally identifiable information we have collected from a child. Parents may also contact us at any time to request that we delete the personally identifiable information of a child or a parent and/or refuse to permit further collection or use of a child’s information. We will take steps to ensure that any person contacting us for a child’s information is that child’s parent or guardian.

E. International Transfer of Information
If you choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, The Super Snoopers may transfer that information to its affiliates and subsidiaries or to other third parties, across borders, and from your country or jurisdiction to other countries or jurisdictions around the world. If you are visiting from the European Union or other jurisdictions with laws governing data collection and use that may differ from U.S. law, please note that you are transferring your personally identifiable information to the United States which does not have the same data protection laws as the EU or such other jurisdictions, and by providing your personally identifiable information you consent to: (1) the use of your personally identifiable information for the uses identified above in accordance with this Privacy Policy; and (2) the transfer of your personally identifiable information to the United States as indicated above.
F. Third Party Web Sites
We link to outside websites and services, from time to time. While we try to select appropriate sites, note that we are not responsible for the practices, content or the privacy policies employed by third party sites. Please review those before interacting with those sites.
G. Third Party Advertisers and Sponsors
We accept advertisements from third party advertisers and sponsors. These advertisers and sponsors are carefully selected to provide information about products and services that we think may be of interest to our users. Note that if you click on any of these advertisements, these advertisers may use cookies and other web-tracking technologies to collect this non-personal information about you. They will not have any personal information identifying you or linking you to your account unless you directly provide it to them. We cannot control or access the information they collect, but do not provide any personal information about you or your account to them. We recommend that you review the terms of use and privacy policy for any advertiser with which you are interacting before doing so. Their privacy policy, not ours, will apply to any of those interactions. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices please click here.
In addition to third party advertisers and sponsors, we may promote our own products and services.
H. Accessing Your Personally Identifiable Information
We provide you with an opportunity to access your personally identifiable information to ensure it is correct, accurate and current. To edit your personally identifiable information, to be removed from our mailing list, if you would prefer that we do not share your information with third party marketers, or if you would like to update or edit your personally identifiable information, please contact our customer service representatives at “info@stormwarriors.org.”
