Taggles.com Statement of Privacy
This document was last updated October 5, 2002.
The Silverhills Group LLC (TSG) designs, manufactures and markets the product known as Taggles via the taggles.com website (among other channels). TSG is committed to protecting your privacy when you visit taggles.com. We employ technology that gives you a powerful and yet secure online experience. You can travel through most of our site without giving us any information about yourself. Sometimes, however, we do need information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete taggles.com privacy statement
Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to register before entering a contest or when purchasing or registering TSG products.
For example: If you choose to make a purchase on the website, we will request personal information such as: name, address, telephone number, credit card number and shipping information. Taggles.com does NOT keep your credit information as part of your personal information.
Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for three primary purposes:
- To make the site easier for you to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once.
- To help us create and deliver content most relevant to you.
- To alert you to special offers, updated information and other new products or services from TSG.
To enable us to respond to a question or comment you submit to us via forms on our site.
We may occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, or sending postal mail. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
TSG will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on TSG or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of TSG and its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of TSG, its websites, or the public.
Control of your Personal Information
When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, taggles.com will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.
Should ownership or control of the Taggles product and/or taggles.com ever be transferred to an entity other than TSG (such as would happen if another company purchased the Taggles product rights from TSG), you will be notified of the transfer at least 15 days in advance of the transfer occurring. Information you have provided at taggles.com may be transferred along with TSG ownership or control.
Access to your Personal Information
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information at any time.
Security of your Personal Information
Taggles.com strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Your personal information is never shared outside the company without your permission, except under conditions explained above. Data is stored in password-controlled servers with limited access. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where TSG, its subsidiaries, affiliates or agents are located.
You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your password, so do not share this with others.
Use of Cookies
To ensure we are publishing content customers need and want, taggles.com may collect aggregated site-visitation statistics using cookies. We do not track individuals’ use of the site.
When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on the customer’s machine (if the customer accepts cookies) or is read if the customer has visited the site previously.
Web beacons, also known as clear gif technology, or action tags, assist in delivering the cookie. This technology tells us how many visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a taggles.com web page. We do not use this technology to access your personally identifiable information on taggles.com; it is a tool we use to compile aggregated statistics about taggles.com website usage. We do not share tracking information outside of TSG, and do not allow other companies to place clear gifs on our sites.
TSG also uses cookies in connection with the use of your account on the taggles.com website as explained above.
If you choose to not have your browser accept cookies from the taggles.com website, you will be able to view the text on the screens, but you will not experience a personalized visit nor will you be able to subscribe to the service offerings on the site.
Changes to this Statement
Taggles.com will occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. For material changes to this Statement, taggles.com will notify you by placing a prominent notice on the website.

TSG welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. Please contact us by email or postal mail.
