UNITED STATES CHILDREN'S PRIVACY POLICY
Stockholm Records strives to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act for our users from the United States who are 12 and younger. We do not condition such child's participation in an activity on the child's disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. We do not share such children's personal information with third parties.
Parents have the right to review and have deleted any personally identifiable information we have collected from their children, and refuse to permit further collection of that information. Parents who have let us retain their email addresses can go directly to the parents' login page, http://www.a-teens.com/?sid=parents and follow the instructions there for reviewing or deleting information. Otherwise, parents can begin the review process by sending an email to support@a-teens.com.
What Information we Collect
In order to protect your children's privacy, we have children under 13 who reside in the United States use a special site registration and sign-up for our a-teens newsletter. At our registration page, we ask the child's date of birth and country. If the child tells us they reside in the United States and are under the age of 13, we then only additionally collect the child's email address, in order to send the newsletter, and their parent's email address, so that we can alert the parents that their child has signed up for the newsletter and give them a chance to ask us to remove their child from our newsletter mailing list. We may also maintain the child's email address to protect the security and integrity of our service. In addition, each of our newsletters will come with instructions on how to remove your child's address from our mailing list. We also may ask certain demographic information, such as the language your child wants to receive the newsletter in.
We also have each child pick a site username and password. However, these children cannot use any of the communication tools (message boards, profiles, etc.) that we offer.
If we otherwise receive an online request from someone we know is a U.S. child, we will delete any personal information they send us other than their email address, which we will use only for the purpose of responding to the child's request or answering the child's question. Once we have responded, we then also delete the child's email address from our system.
Cookies and Other Automatic Data Collection
Our site uses "cookies", which are small text files that help us administer our site.
We use cookies to personalize the site and make using the site easier, such as by remembering your username and timezone. The cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information. Our advertisers may use cookies and be collecting information, subject to their own privacy policies, which we advise you to check. We do not disclose any of your personal information to our advertisers.
For our internal purposes, we may gather date, time, browser type and IP address of all visitors to our site. We keep this information simply for our internal security audit log, trend analysis, and system administration.
Security
We protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of the personal information we collect from your children. This information is maintained behind a firewall, and only those people who require access may see this information.

REGULAR PRIVACY POLICY
Information Collection and Use
A-Teens.com is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.
Registration
In order to use all features on this website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide unique identifiers (such as postal address).
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or any other parts which requires the user to be logged in. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that A-Teens.com are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Bulletin Boards and Chat Areas
Guests of A-Teens.com are solely responsible for the content of messages they post on public forums, such as chat rooms and bulletin boards. Users should be aware that when they voluntarily disclose personal information (e.g., user name, e-mail address, phone number) on the bulletin boards or in the chat areas, that information can be collected and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email to support@a-teens.com.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the member profile page or by emailing us at support@a-teens.com.
Choice/Opt-out
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter may opt-out of receiving these communications. This can usually be done at the member profile page or by emailing us at support@a-teens.com.
Third Party Advertising
We use DoubleClick and other third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, please check www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp
Third Party Cookies
In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
Security
Security for all personally identifiable information is extremely important to us. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, A-Teens.com cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
