What information is shared with
third parties?
We will not sell, share, or rent any Personal

from
that which is disclosed in this policy without
first obtaining the user's authorization.
We may disclose Personal Information to independent
contractors, service providers and
consultants who are engaged by or working for
Imagine This Company and services offered by
Imagine This Company. For example, we may use
credit card processing companies to
process payments for goods and services, outside
shipping companies to ship orders and
credit bureaus to check credit histories. Similarly,
we may partner with other parties to provide
specific products or services and will share information
with them in order to facilitate their
provision of products or services (e.g., administration
of our mailing lists, order processing and
fulfillment, contest fulfillment and customer
service functions Imagine This Company makes an
effort to ensure, but cannot guarantee, that all
such independent contractors, service providers
and consultants agree to maintain the confidentiality,
security and integrity of the Personal
Information they obtain and agree to the same
level of privacy safeguards that Imagine This
Company itself provides to its users.
Additionally, we may share aggregated information
(i.e. information we collect that does not
allow a user to be personally identified or contacted,
for example demographic and site usage
information) with third parties such as partners
and advertisers. This aggregated data is not
linked to any Personal Information.
Imagine This Company reserves the right to share
information with third parties if we are
required to do so by law or if in our good faith
judgment, such action is reasonably necessary
to comply with the legal process, to respond to
any claims, or to protect the rights of Imagine
This Company, its customers, or the public. Information
about our users, including Personal
Information, may be disclosed as part of any merger,
acquisition, debt financing, sale of
company assets, as well as in the unlikely event
of an insolvency, bankruptcy or receivership in
which Personal Information could be transferred
to third parties as one of the business assets
of the company.
What choices do I have in the
use and collection of information?
Users who no longer wish to receive promotional
e-mail materials from Imagine This Company
may opt-out of receiving these communications
by replying to the e-mail with "unsubscribe"
in
the subject line, or e-mailing webmanager@PitchAStory.com
and requesting to be taken off
the list.
What security precautions are
taken to protect my information online?
Imagine This Company takes commercially reasonable
precautions to protect our users’
information. Physical, electronic and policy measures
are in place to minimize the loss,
misuse, or altering of any information we receive
from users. Additionally, when users are
asked to enter a credit card number, that information
is encrypted and is protected with the
advanced SSL encryption software. Encryption makes
unauthorised access to the information
much more difficult. While we use SSL encryption
to protect sensitive information online, we
also take reasonable precautions to protect user-information
off-line. If you have any questions
about the security at our Web site, you can send
an email webmanager@PitchAStory.com for
more information.

when they leave our Site and to read the privacy
polices of each and every web site that
collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy policy applies solely to information
collected by this Site. Similarly, if a user enters
this Site through a link from another Web site,
Imagine This Company is not responsible for or
bound by the privacy policies or processes of
that Web site.

Special Provisions applicable
to Children under 13
Although the Site is a general audience site,
portions of the site may appeal to children under
13. In order to help protect children and to comply
with applicable law, Imagine This Company
takes special measures to protect the privacy
of those under age 13 ("Children").
Therefore,
the following provisions apply to the Site and
to any user that Imagine This Company has actual
knowledge is under 13:
Imagine This Company makes an effort to minimize
the Personal Information (e.g. first and last
name, address, phone number, email address, etc.),
that it knowingly collects from Children
and generally limits the information it knowingly
collects to nonpersonal information. However,
from time to time, we may collect online contact
information (i.e. the child’s and/or the
parents
email address) from Children in order to conduct
contests or sweepstakes, to offer various
online activities and services (e.g. electronic
postcards or newsletters), or to otherwise
respond to a request from a child.
We do not condition a child’s participation
in any of our online activities on the disclosure
of
more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary
to participate in the activity. In
accordance with applicable law, we may also collect
name and online contact information to
the extent reasonably necessary to protect the
safety of a child participant on the Site, to
protect the security or integrity of the Site,
to take precautions against liability, to respond
to
judicial process or to provide information to
law enforcement agencies or for an investigation
on matters related to public safety. In certain
circumstances, we are required to notify parents
that we have collected such information and give
parents the opportunity to request that we
make no further use of such information. We do
not collect other personal information from
Children unless we first obtain parental consent.
The child’s and his or her parent’s
online
contact information may be collected in order
to obtain parental consent.
Unless we have obtained parental consent to use
Personal Information for some other
purpose, Personal Information knowingly collected
from Children is used only for the purpose
for which it was collected (e.g. to respond to
the child’s request or notify a contest winner),
and
it is deleted when it is no longer needed for
such purpose. Furthermore, unless we obtain
parental consent to disclose Personal Information
to third parties, we will not share Personal
Information about Children with anyone other than
the agents, consultants and service
providers who assist Imagine This Company with
the operations of the Site or in providing or
administering the contests, activities, products
or services offered on the Site (e.g. fulfillment
houses, delivery companies, credit card processors,
etc.). If Imagine This Company requests
consent to collect any Personal Information about
a child, the child’s parent or legal guardian
has the option to consent to the collection and
use of the child’s Personal Information without
consenting to the disclosure of the information
to third parties.
If Imagine This Company has collected any Personal
Information about a child, parents can
review the Personal Information their child has
submitted online and request that any such
information be deleted. Parents can also revoke
their consent to the further collection of
information from their child. All such requests
must be made in a letter addressed to Web
Manager, c/o Imagine This Company, Inc., 7512
Dr. Phillips Blvd., Unit 50-111, Orlando, FL
32819 and signed by the parent. If a parent gives
us consent to collect, use and/or disclose
Personal Information from his or her child and
we make any material changes in the collection,
use or disclosure practices to which the parent
has previously consented, we will notify the
parent of such changes and obtain consent before
using a child's information in any new way.
Who can I contact with questions
about this Site?
