The Birthday Register - Register to get free birthday gifts!

First of all, we want you to know that we “abhor” spam and want you to rest assured that we will not share your email address with any third parties. We value your privacy and intend to make your experience with The Birthday Register a completely enjoyable experience.

This is how we handle information we collect about you when you visit our website. If you are an individual using The Birthday Register, we collect the following user-submitted information: your name, email address, birthdate, zip code, gender, and gift category selections.

If you are a business posting your business on The Birthday Register, we collect your business name and contact, business address, phone and fax numbers, email address, business type, gift categories, gift specifics, certificate information, and payment information.

For all visitors, including those who visit our home page but are not registering your birthday, we collect and store the following non-personally-identifiable information: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America Online account); the date and time you access our site; and the Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our site. We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors.

When The Birthday Register visitor sends a friend an email invitation to join The Birthday Register, we will retain the recipient’s email address in our records to facilitate the networking process should the friend choose to register.

We collect your information for The Birthday Register’s internal use, and will rarely send you updates and other information. If you prefer not to receive email from The Birthday Register, you can opt out of future emailings by sending an email request to “opt-out” to info@thebirthdayregister.com. Of course, this will also keep you from receiving the free gift certificates from participating merchants and businesses.

Your email address will not be shared with any third party, without your permission, except possibly in a takeover of the entire The Birthday Register business. The Birthday Register may also choose to share aggregate usage information for marketing purposes; this will never include your email address.

coppa: if a birthdate prior to the age 13 limit is entered, a pop up page could require:parental consent or that this is being submitted by someone else for someone 13 or under. Exceptions: The regulations include several exceptions that allow operators to collect a child's email address without getting the parent's consent in advance. These exceptions cover many popular online activities for kids, including contests , online newsletters , homework help and electronic postcards. Prior parental consent is not required when: an operator collects a child's or parent's email address to provide notice and seek consent; an operator collects an email address to respond to a one-time request from a child and then deletes it; an operator collects an email address to respond more than once to a specific request -- say, for a subscription to a newsletter. In this case, the operator must notify the parent that it is communicating regularly with the child and give the parent the opportunity to stop the communication before sending or delivering a second communication to a child; an operator collects a child's name or online contact information to protect the safety of a child who is participating on the site. In this case, the operator must notify the parent and give him or her the opportunity to prevent further use of the information; an operator collects a child's name or online contact information to protect the security or liability of the site or to respond to law enforcement, if necessary, and does not use it for any other purpose.
