of information about visitors: personal information (such as name,

if you place an order with us, etc.), which you have voluntarily
submitted to us, and aggregate information (such as information
about how many visitors log on to our sites, the pages they access,
etc.).

telling us who you are or revealing personal information about
yourself, in which case, you may however be unable to participate
in certain promotions or receive product information. We collect,
maintain and use personal information you have voluntarily submitted
to contact you, including via email, to respond to your comments
or requests for information, or to contact you if needed in the
course of processing or shipping your order for products or services
offered over our websites. In addition, we may use personal information
to provide you with the most helpful and targeted products and
services to meet your needs and respond to your inquiries. To
better meet your needs, we may supplement the information we collect
with data obtained from third parties for the same purposes.

or share your personal information for use by any business, other

Glassblowing.com believes that it's
especially important to protect children's privacy online and
encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their
children to participate and monitor their Internet activity.

Glassblowing.com does not intend to
collect personal information from children under 13 years of age,
except on some of our children's websites, in which case we will
collect such information in accordance with local laws and regulations
on children's privacy. Glassblowing.com may also want
to collect personal information from children over 13 years of
age. When required by local laws and regulations or practices
and provided such a child has identified himself/herself as being
within this older age bracket, we will incorporate a special notice
requiring him/her to get parental consent before providing us
with any personal information. If parents provide consent for
their child to submit personal information, we ask children under
13 only for the information necessary to participate in the program
for which the child is registering.
Where appropriate, Glassblowing.com
will specifically instruct children not to submit such information
on our websites and/or will take reasonable steps to ensure parental
consent to such submission. For instance, we may ask for a visitor's
age, birthday, or birth year in order to determine whether or
not the visitor is a child. If the birthday or birth year entry
reveals a child is under the age limit as defined by the applicable
local or national law, we will not allow the child to continue
without the guardian's consent. If a child has provided us with
personal information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact
us at the email address or address listed at the bottom of this
Privacy Statement if they would like this information deleted
from our records. We will use reasonable efforts to delete the
child's information from our databases. We do not filter advertisements
or other content that children may view through our sites, and
they could receive content and materials from the Internet and/or
advertising that are inappropriate for children.
