Privacy Policy

ComingOfAgeAgain.com (COAA) values your privacy, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. To help do so, we are providing you with this policy outlining the ways we collect and use Internet information. By logging on to our Web site, ComingOfAgeAgain.com, you accept, without limitation or qualification, all policies, practices, and terms of usage as described on this Web site.

Children's Privacy: Note to Parents

The COAA Web site is not intended for children. We feel it is important to protect children's privacy, and we do not knowingly collect information from those under the age of eighteen. No part or aspect of our Web site is targeted to attract anyone under the age of eighteen. COAA encourages parents to educate their children about the Internet and to be familiar with the Web sites their children visit. When data is entered for an online sweepstakes, contest, newsletter, registration, product, service, etc., we ask for the entrant's age/date of birth. COAA is reliant upon the user to truthfully enter his or her age/date of birth. Any entries made by children under the age of eighteen will be deleted. We ask that all users under age eighteen do not submit personal information to us. Please note that in the case of any and all contests or sweepstakes, the eligibility age may be greater than eighteen years. (Please read all rules governing contests and sweepstakes before entering.)

Information We Collect

ComingOfAgeAgain.com gathers several types of personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information about our users that are split into two categories:

Information You Provide

COAA gathers personally identifiable information, including but not limited to name, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address when it is voluntarily submitted by users in connection with newsletters, registrations, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, feedback, memberships, products, services, and more. We may also collect other types of data such as age, gender, interests, preferences, etc., which may be associated with personally identifiable information. Personal information is recorded when you log on, register with, or visit our Web site, including when you participate in activities such as contests, sweepstakes, and promotional offers on COAA's Web site.

In some cases, if you choose not to provide us with requested information, you may not be able to access all of this Web site or participate in all of its features. If you purchase products and services from ComingOfAgeAgain.com, we will note, for example, such data as credit card information, the type of products and services ordered or purchased, and the date of such order or purchase. Information we gather may also be combined with data collected by other sources, including promotional partners and third parties.

Information Collected Through Technology

To enhance our Web site for the purpose of making it more useful and interesting to our users, we gather information through technology, such as IP addresses and browser types, for statistical purposes. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer or network when you enter the Internet and is often linked with your ISP (Internet service provider), your company, or University. By itself, your IP address is not personally identifiable, but may be used to gather data regarding the regularity with which users visit different parts of our Web site.

ComingOfAgeAgain.com uses small pieces of information called cookies that are sent to your computer while you are viewing our Web site. Cookies are stored on your hard drive and allow our Web site to recall information that can improve your visit. For example, when you return to our Web site after previously logging in, cookies permit our site to remember who you are. Our cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. Most Internet browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer can be set up to warn you of when cookies are being used or to turn off all cookies if desired. If you choose to disable cookies, some of the Web site's features and functions may not be accessible to you.

Email Newsletter

Electronic newsletters are periodically sent to users who have registered to receive this information. The data entered to receive our newsletters is securely stored, and any user who wishes to "unsubscribe" to this service may do so at any time.

Surveys/Polls

At times, visitors may be asked to take part in surveys and/or polls to provide us with data that will be analyzed for statistical purposes only. Participation in any and all surveys and polls is completely voluntary.

Contests/Sweepstakes

In the event of a contest and/or sweepstakes, additional information may be needed for purposes such as, but not limited to, determining eligibility, contacting potential winners, etc. Rules and regulations will be posted along with sweepstakes and/or contest information. Participation in any and all sweepstakes and/or contests is completely voluntary.

Sharing Information

COAA does not buy or sell the personal information of consumers. Information is used and disclosed as described in this policy and as required by law. At times it may be necessary to disclose user information to third parties in the instances of contests, sweepstakes, etc.

Links to Other Sites

ComingOfAgeAgain.com contains links to sites other than our own. Those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as COAA. Such links may be to advertisers, content providers or partners. Those sites may send their own cookies to you, and may collect information and use it in a way inconsistent with COAA's privacy policy. COAA does not control the content that appears on those sites. Such sites may contain information that content providers independent of COAA have created, maintained, published, posted or otherwise made available. The use of any information or materials that you may access at those external sites is purely voluntary. Those external sites may also refer to specific commercial products, processes, or services by trade name, trademark, service mark, manufacturer or otherwise. Unless COAA has provided explicit authority, such references in no way indicate our endorsement, recommendation or preference.

This Web site, ComingOfAgeAgain.com, is operated in the United States. Users visiting this site outside of the U.S. should be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States.
