PRIVACY POLICY

Trailblazer Studios NC, Inc., its parent, subsidiary and affiliated companies ("Trailblazer") have established this privacy policy with respect to your use of this site (the “Site”).  This privacy policy discloses how we collect, protect, use, and share information gathered about you.  We hope that this disclosure will help increase your confidence in the Site (“Site”) and enhance your experience on the Internet. 

INFORMATION COLLECTED

You may surf the Site and view much of our content anonymously.  The majority of the content on our Site may be viewed without our collecting any personally identifiable information from you.
There are a few activities on the Site where the collection of personally identifiable information is necessary.  Those activities include things like making a purchase or contacting us.  When personally identifiable information is collected, you will know because you will have to fill out a form.  For most activities, we collect only your name, e-mail address and zip code.  When you make a purchase, we also collect your street and billing addresses, your phone number, and credit card information.  Depending on what you purchase, we may also need to collect other personal information, like your clothing size.
The Site also collects some information about you using technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you that it is being collected.  For instance, when you come to our site your IP address is collected so that we know where to send information you are requesting.  An IP address is often associated with the place from which you enter the Internet like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your company or your university.  This information is not personally identifiable.  The Site uses information collected through technology in an effort to make our Site more interesting and useful to you.  We may also use this information for other purposes. 

USE OF COLLECTED INFORMATION

Trailblazer may use personally identifiable information in a limited number of ways.  We may use the information to complete transactions.  For instance, if you contact us for help, we will use the information to contact you.  Information we collect may be used to send you e-mail updates and newsletters about the Site and for other purposes.

SHARING COLLECTED INFORMATION

One of the most valuable assets of our business is you.  We aren't in the business of selling information about our users or customers.  However, if there is a value to you, we may share your information or send you messages on behalf of another company as described below.  We may also share information for security reasons.
Sometimes we hire companies to help us deliver products or services, like a shipping company that delivers a package.  In those instances, we need to share your information with them.  These companies are basically "standing in the shoes" of Trailblazer, and they are allowed to use the information only to deliver the product or service.
We will also give out personal information as required by law, for example, to comply with a court order or subpoena; to enforce our Terms of Use; or to protect the safety and security of users, customers and our Site.

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with users of our Site is of utmost concern to us.  Trailblazer takes technical, contractual, administrative, and physical security steps to protect all visitors' information.  When you provide credit card information, we use secure socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect it.  There are some things that you can do to help protect the security of your information as well.  For instance, remember to close your browser window when you finish surfing the Web, so that other people using the same computer won't have access to your information.

MINORS

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, Trailblazer does not knowingly accept any submissions or information from children twelve years of age and under.  If you are twelve years old or under, please do not submit any materials or information by any means.
