Our Privacy Policy
Any personal information that you share with SchoolKidz.com will be used solely to provide an efficient, focused shopping experience, and to help you find the school related products that are appropriate for the unique circumstances of your child, your class or your school. This information will not be provided to others, nor can it be accessed from the SchoolKidz.com Web site.

When you visit the SchoolKidz.com Web site, we may use your IP address, cookies, and your registration and order information to operate our site and to help you shop.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site.

Our site's e-commerce application requires the use of 1 (one) main "shopper cookie" to allow you to place products in your shopping cart, purchase items, and navigate the site. If the user refuses this cookie, the site will attempt to reissue it. If the user permanently blocks the use of all cookies, the site's shopping and personalization aspects will not function properly. We also use cookies to help us determine your consumer values and interests, and to personalize the site according to the educational goals you specify.

Your contact information is used to send you information about SchoolKidz.com, the products we offer, and any order(s) you place. From time to time we may send you e-mails notifying you of relevant events and news. We also send users an order confirmation when they purchase products on the site. If desired, one may opt-out of receiving future e-mails via a SchoolKidz.com's contact's e-mail address, or through the methods contained in the User Opt-Out Section below.

The SchoolKidz.com Web site uses an order form for customers to purchase products. We collect customers' contact information (like their billing, shipping, and e-mail addresses) and their credit card numbers. Contact information from the order form is used to send orders, shipping and billing notifications, and other information about our company. The contact information is also used to get in touch with the customer when necessary. Again, users may opt-out of receiving future contact of any kind, via the User Opt-Out section below. Credit card information is collected and used to bill the customer for the products and services that were ordered.

SchoolKidz.com was designed for a high degree of security. All site information is stored and housed in a secure hosting environment behind a firewall. No outside persons or computers have permission to enter though this firewall. All ISP and internal staff must have special permission and passwords to access the database from behind the firewall.

During ordering, SchoolKidz.com uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with Netscape Navigator and Communicator (versions 2.0 and above), Microsoft Internet Explorer (versions 3.0 and above), and AOL (AOL 3.0 and above) so that unauthorized parties cannot read the information that our customers send over the Internet.

SchoolKidz.com allows parents to enter information (child's name, school and grade) about their child so that we can provide a personalized and efficient shopping experience. When ordering School Supply Kits, we give you the option of personalizing your child's kit with their name, their grade and the school they attend. This data is used to print custom labels to label the kit and the supplies contained within. This data will not be shared with others and will only be used to communicate in a more efficient manner. We protect this information vigorously and do not, in any way, shape or form, provide it to others, or enhance personal information with outside data.

This site contains links to other sites. SchoolKidz.com is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any of these Web sites.
