At times, we will share summaries of NON-PERSONAL data (e.g. percentage of girls vs. percentage of boys registered on our site) with sponsors or other business partners. We will never provide any specific or personally identifying information about an individual in any of these reports.

We have created this policy to explain why we ask for certain information when your child becomes a member, the types of information we gather both from your child and from you, how it is used and how you or your child can change or delete the information.

How and What Information We Collect

When a child signs up to play a game at Galaxseeds.com, we ask them to register on The Big Rip and we request the following information:

• His or her gender
• Birth date
• Email Address
• Country
• State/ Province
• Username
• Password
• Parent's email address

Registration of children under 13 is not processed until parents provide consent. We do not condition a child under 13's participation in an activity on his or her disclosing more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity.

Why Do We Collect Personal Information and How Do We Use It?

At The Big Rip we have created lots of fun activities that do not require you or your child to provide any personal information at all. But by becoming a member of The Big Rip at GalaXseeds.com and providing basic information to us, you or your child can play games on TheBigRip.com under his or her username, post messages and content on our pre-moderated internet forums, communicate with other members using our moderated chat and interactive forum features, use interactive features on our Site including existing or future games and other interactive features we may offer, elect to receive The Big Rip email newsletters (which include special announcements about our games), and enter our online contests as well as be notified if they are a contest winner (note: declarations and releases must be signed by a parent or guardian of the declared winner prior to YTV awarding or releasing the prize). Parents information is collected in order to obtain your permission for children under 13 to become a member of GalaXseeds.com.

Personal identifiable information collected from our members will be used as described in this policy, on our website, or otherwise to process the requests you submit to us (such as a request to become a member). In certain limited circumstances YTV shares personally identifiable information with third parties, namely if we believe we are legally obligated to disclose information to the government or third parties, where we are working with a vendor or business associate who is performing functions on our behalf (under contract to us, and using the information to fulfill obligations under that contract), and with other YTV entities (who will use information subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy).

We use non-personal information - like gender, birth date, country and state/province - to customize our site for our users. Sometimes we may share aggregate, non-personal information with our partners or advertisers (i.e. 20% of our members are girls from Chicago), however specific members are never identified. Email address, Username and password are required to create and maintain a membership. We collect the parent's email address for the purpose of obtaining parental consent and to communicate with the parent or guardian about the child's membership.

How To Review Your Child's Information:

If your child submits his/her information to our site for membership and contest entry purposes, and is under the age of 13, an email permission form is sent to the parent's email address. Through this email, parents can review the information being collected from the child, and approve of our collection of the information for membership or have this information removed from our database. You may refuse to permit future collection or use of your child's information through the following process:

How to Modify or Cancel Your Child's Account
