on our website or sending us information in any other way.
If you or if you are under 16 your parents or guardians want
to discuss with us how your information is used at any time
you can email letterbox@nickjr.co.uk
or contact us The Data Protection Officer, Nickelodeon UK,
15-18 Rathbone Place, London, W1T 1HU.
By supplying us with personal information, you and if you
are under 16 your parents or guardians agree to the terms
of this policy. If you or your parents or guardians do not
agree with the policy, you must not provide us with any personal
information.
How do we collect and use your information?
Nickelodeon UK may collect information about you in a number
of ways:
On our website
One of the main ways in which we may collect information about
you is through the registration procedure on our websites.
We need this information to make sure that you can enjoy all
the benefits of registration and so that you get the best
out of our website. Registration allows you to use the website
facilities such as the message boards and the postcards and
enables us to send you newsletters and details of special
competitions. You can unregister at any time by emailing letterbox@nickjr.co.uk.
We may also collect information about you on other parts
of our website but we will always tell you when we are collecting
your data.
If you use our message boards, we do monitor messages and
will make sure that no information is displayed that would
identify you or where you live. However, please remember that
any information you put on the message boards is able to be
seen by other users of the websites.
If you send a postcard to a friend via our websites, we will
need to collect your friend’s email address in order
to send that postcard. However, we will make sure that this
information is deleted as soon as possible.
Competitions
We will also collect information about you if you enter any
of our competitions. You may do this on-line, over the telephone
or through the post. This information will be used to tell
you if you have won a competition and to send you any prize.
We will also keep your details on our database in order to
send you our newsletters and other useful information about
Nick Jr. If you don’t want us to use your information
in this way you can tell us when you send in your competition
entry or at any time by emailing letterbox@nickjr.co.uk or
writing to us at the address above.
Other ways
You may also let us have information about yourself in other
ways such as if you write to us by post or email, if you call
us or if you visit us. We may use this information to contact
you about your letter, email, call or visit. We may also keep
your details on our database in order to send you our newsletters
and other useful information about Nick Jr. If you don’t
want us to use your information in this way you can tell us
at any time by emailing letterbox@nickjr.co.uk or writing
to us at the address above.
Marketing Communications
As we have explained above, we may use information that we
collect about you to send you our regular newsletters as well
as details of competitions, special offers or other useful
information about our channels or programmes.
We may also ask you if you would like to receive information
about the products or services of our business partners that
we think may be of interest to you. We will not send you this
information without your consent.
Remember, if you do not want to receive any more information
from us all you have to do is email us at letterbox@nickjr.co.uk
or write to us at the address above at any time.
Third parties
We will not usually pass your information onto any third
parties without your consent. An exception to this is if we
need third parties to carry out certain services for us. For
example, if you win a competition we will pass your information
onto a third party who will arrange delivery of your prize.
We will make sure that such third parties keep your information
secure and no longer than is necessary. We will not pass your
information to third parties outside the European Economic
Area without your consent.
Some of the information which you give to us (for example,
whether you are male or female) does not on its own identify
you. We collect this type of information in order to identify
trends in our business. It is known as “aggregate information”.
We may pass aggregate information to third parties such as
advertisers and business partners to give them a better understanding
of our business. However, such information will not identify
you personally.
If our business is sold, your information will be passed
to the new owner.
What are Cookies and how do we use them?
Cookies are small files of data that are downloaded onto your
computer when you visit our websites. They allow our websites
to “remember” your activities on our website and
the number of times you have visited. We can use the information
stored by cookies to help us to provide you with a better
on-line experience. For example, if we know that you like
playing games on our website, we may highlight new games to
you on your next visit.
We do not use cookies to store any personal information about
you – only about your computer. We collect “log
data” that allows us to tell how many visitors our websites
have received, but this data will not identify you.
You can set your Internet browser so it will not accept cookies.
For further information about cookies and how to reject them,
please visit www.aboutcookies.org. If you choose not to accept
cookies you will still be able to browse our website but you
will not be able to take advantage of any of the personalised
options, such as registration.
Security
We have taken steps to ensure that all personally identifiable
information that we collect is secure, including limiting
the number of people who can access this information and using
electronic security systems. You can help by ensuring that
you keep your passwords secret and properly log out of our
websites if you have been using them.
Access to your personal information
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information
that we hold about you and to have any errors corrected. If
you would like to make a request please write to the Data
Protection Officer, Nickelodeon UK, 15-18 Rathbone Place,
London, W1T 1HU enclosing the fee of £10.
Changes to this Policy
From time to time we may make changes to this policy. We will
post a notice of the changes together with the updated policy
on our website at www.nickjr.co.uk
This policy was last updated on 1 May 2005.
