Mister Rooster is dedicated to safeguarding all personal information collected online and to helping our visitors learn how to exercise control over personal information while exploring the Internet. To better protect your privacy, we provide this Privacy Policy summarizing our online information practices and explaining the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. 

This Privacy Policy applies only to personally identifiable information collected on this Website and does not apply to any other information collected by Mister Rooster and its affiliated entities through any other means. Mister Rooster and its affiliated entities are collectively referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Mister Rooster," "we" or "us."

Because many visitors to the Website are children, we make efforts to ensure that children access only the content that is appropriate for them. In addition, we employ special measures to help children protect their privacy while online. We do not ask children to disclose more personal information than is necessary for them to participate in a particular activity.

As our Website continues to offer new and different types of content and services, we may modify our information collection and use practices from time to time. We encourage you to check back here and review the current Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post a notice as to when the Privacy Policy was last revised. Your continued use of the Website after the Privacy Policy has been revised will constitute your acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, those revised terms.

The InformationWe Collect
Users can view publicly accessible pages on the Website without providing any personal information. However, many of the activities offered on the Website — like watching videos, playing online games, and participating in other Website activities —require a registered membership (“Membership”), which Mister Rooster provides for our parent audience. We do request personally identifiable information from parents who choose to establish a Membership (referred to here as “Members”), as described below. However, we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children and if we discover that a child has submitted personally identifiable information, Mister Rooster deletes such information immediately.

Registered Membership
In order to participate in our Member activities, we ask users to submit personal information (e.g. full name, e-mail address, zip code, birth day). All such personal information is collected for the purpose of providing Members access to Mister Rooster Member activities. Once registered, Members can participate in Member activities such as newsletters, opinions on various subjects, Member and "Third Party" offers (the opportunity for Members to receive information concerning special offers and promotions sent by either Mister Rooster or on behalf of or in partnership with other third party businesses selected by Mister Rooster or directly by such third parties).

At any time after the registration process, Members can choose to discontinue participating in some of the Member activities (e.g. newsletters, "Third Party" offers) or altogether unregister by electing to unsubscribe to such activity, which option can be found at the end of every Mister Rooster correspondence sent to Members.

Use of Members’ Information
All information collected from Members during the registration process is used solely for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell, transfer or share the e-mail address with third parties except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

Access to Members-Only Activities
Information collected during registration is used to provide Members access to Mister Rooster's Members-Only Activities.

Electronic Newsletter and Special Announcements Subscription
Mister Rooster provides Members the opportunity to opt-in to receive e-mails containing the Mister Rooster! Electronic Newsletter, along with other Special Announcements, press releases, pertaining to Mister Rooster! These e-mails provide Members with newly developed and upcoming content, information updates, announcements, and promotions.

Members who opt-in to receive these e-mails are required to provide their e-mail address only. E-mail addresses collected from Members who opt-in to receive the Electronic Newsletter and Special Announcements Subscription shall be maintained by Mister Rooster and used to fulfill such requests. You can unsubscribe from Newsletter and Special Announcements at any time by following the instructions found at the end of each Mister Rooster e-mail you receive.

Promotional Partner Offers
The information provided by Members may also be shared with third parties affiliated with Mister Rooster and/or Donna Cardellino, LLC, as more fully described below in "Use and Disclosure of Information" and in the following manner. If you have requested or opted in to receive "Third Party" offers, Mister Rooster may share and transfer your personal information with and to third party business partners selected by Mister Rooster (“Promotional Partners”) to promote, sponsor and/or fulfill such "Third Party" offers. Such Promotional Partners may use such information to directly contact you with special offers and promotions. If you have requested or opted in to receive "Third Party" offers, Mister Rooster also may send you such special offers and promotions on behalf of such Promotional Partners.

From time to time, we may partner with outside third parties to provide you with additional content, products, or services that we believe may be of interest. For example, we may partner with a greeting card company, software manufacturer, or telephone provider to offer you electronic cards, games, or telephone messaging. These partners operate Web sites that are separate and independent from the Website. We receive e-mail addresses from these sites of adults who request to receive information--including newsletters, sales, and special offers--from us. If you do not wish to receive information from Mister Rooster, you can unsubscribe by following the information at the bottom of any newsletter you receive, and inform us that you no longer wish to receive correspondence from Mister Rooster.

"Mister Rooster! Store"
The Website provides links for customers to order items such as E-Books, monthly subscriptions, songs, and videos. However, none of these transactions are conducted on our Website nor does Mister Rooster collect any personally identifiable information in conjunction with such transactions. Instead, customers interested in ordering such items are directed to third party websites, such as PayPal and other third parties, to complete transactions. Please note that these websites have their own Privacy Policies and are not under the control of Mister Rooster! or Donna Cardellino, LLC. Therefore, you should review their Privacy Policy carefully before you complete your transaction in order to learn how they collect, store and use your personally identifiable information.

We strive to make our website better and will take into consideration all suggestions from parents and children on the site.

Other than an e-mail address, we do not request that users submit any personal information online for customer-service inquiries. We may however ask for  additional non-personal information to better help us respond to customer service questions. We use the e-mail address to communicate directly with customers about technology-related questions, and provide them with answers that they may find helpful. Such information may be transferred, disclosed and shared with our third party vendors or agents in order to handle and manage customer service and provide other functions on Mister Rooter’s behalf, as set forth below.

Once we or our third party agent have had a chance to provide e-mail responses to customer service e-mail questions, the e-mail address is deleted from our system.

Third Party Vendors & Other Agents
In that case, Mister Rooster may transfer, disclose, or share such information with such third party contractors, who must agree to abide by this Privacy Policy.

The personal information provided to Mister Rooster may be transferred, disclosed or shared with third parties who may be engaged by us specifically to handle and deliver certain activities, such as the preparation and delivery of the e-mails, e-cards, newsletters and perform other related technical and processing functions, such as sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from registration lists, programming, providing user services to our users, or otherwise operating our Website, on Mister Rooster’s behalf. Such third parties have access to the personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions, but they are restricted from using it for any purposes other than the specific services they are performing and they have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
Our Website is fully compliant with the United States' Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 ("COPPA"). There are special concerns about the privacy of users who are children under the age of 18, and we comply with applicable law regarding collection of information from children, including COPPA and all other Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, and the EU Data Privacy Directive. These and other applicable laws have special requirements regarding notification to parents and legal guardians (either of which is called a "parent" in this policy) of what personal information is being collected from their child and how that information is used and shared. Parents are strongly encouraged to participate in their children's online activities and monitor their children's use of emails and engagement in other electronic communication.

If you are resident in the United States we encourage you to visit http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/privacyinitiatives/childrens.html for more information about COPPA and children's privacy. 

It is our policy on our Website to require only the minimal collection of information from our visitors. Consistent with this policy, our Website limits the collection of information from kids to what is known as non-personally identifiable information (e.g., first name). Other than the collection of such non-personally identifiable information, we do not collect personal information from our child users on the Website.

Other Disclosures
We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use, to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Website and applicable laws, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our website, its users, and others, or as otherwise required or permitted by law or consistent with legal requirements.

In the event that Mister Rooster and/or Donna Cardellino, LLC suspects that the Website is being used in a fraudulent or illegal manner or otherwise in violation of the Terms of Use, Mister Rooster may use any personally identifiable information collected about the suspected perpetrator to protect its interests or those of others, or to cooperate with law enforcement. In addition, copyright owners or agents who desire to alert Mister Rooster of suspected copyright infringement pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) provisions of the Terms of Use will be required to furnish Mister Rooster with additional personally identifiable information as required by those provisions. Mister Rooster will use that information only as anticipated by and in a manner consistent with, the DCMA provisions of the Terms of Use, as such provisions may be amended from time to time.

Change in Ownership

Collection of Information by Third-Party Websites Ad Servers and Sponsors
Our Website may contain links to other websites including those of sponsors and advertisers, whose information practices may be different from ours. In addition, as noted earlier, listings for items that are featured for sale on our Website (for example, videos, songs, e-books, etc.) link to third party vendors who actually facilitate and conduct such transactions in their entirety and subscription payments for User Accounts are handled by third party vendors, such as PayPal. Visitors should consult those other third party websites' Privacy Policys, since those websites are not covered by our Privacy Policy and may follow different procedures.
