Privacy Policy
Your Consent to This Privacy Policy
By providing Stir Crazy with Personal Information, you signify that you agree with
the terms of our current Privacy Policy as posted here. If you do not agree with
any term in this Policy, please do not provide any Personal Information.
If you choose not to provide Personal Information, you may not be able to do
certain things, like access particular areas of our website, enter sweepstakes
or contests, request samples, or send us e-mail.
Collection of Personal Information
As used in this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means personally identifiable
information such as your name, street address, telephone number, credit card
information, screen name and email address. When you provide us with Personal
Information, you are authorizing us to use that information in accordance with
the terms of this Privacy Policy, which includes your right to limit our use of
your Personal Information. We may also collect Personal Information from you
about a third party (e.g., our website might allow you to send an electronic
"post card" to a friend, in which case we will need that person’s name and
e-mail address). Please note that we use such information only for the specified
purpose (e.g., to mail the post card) and we will not contact the third party
again unless and until the third party contacts us.
How We Use Your Information
When you supply us with your Personal Information we will use it for the express
purpose for which it was collected (e.g., to enter you in a sweepstakes or to send
you a sample). It may also be used to contact you regarding other products and
services that may be of interest to you (including those we may offer jointly with
other companies). At any time, however, you may opt out of such contact.
At times we may retain third parties to analyze data we collect, including Personal
Information, solely to help us improve our products and our web site. In addition,
if you order a product or service from us, we may provide Personal Information to
suppliers and other third parties to enable delivery of such product or service.
These third parties, including suppliers, are not authorized by us to use your
Personal Information in any other way. Stir Crazy does not sell Personal Information.
We may supplement the information that you provide to us with other information that
we receive from third parties. We do this for marketing purposes in order to provide
the most appropriate products and services to meet your needs.
Finally, please note that we will release your Personal Information if required
to do so by law, or by search warrant, subpoena or court order.

promotions and banners, for example, is described in this section.
