Scholastic is offering a free book for the little ones when you email them with your name and address.
Privacy Policy:
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
We consider the following, among other things, to be personally identifiable information: first and last name, e-mail address, street address and phone number.
We (and/or our agents or affiliates) may collect online and use personally identifiable information from our adult visitors: (1) to process and fulfill orders for products or services (such as our magazines); (2) in connection with contests, sweepstakes, games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, content submissions, classroom activities, our requests for suggestions and visitors’ requests for information; and (3) to customize the content on our site for our visitors’ current and future needs. In addition, this personally identifiable information may be used to provide our visitors, via e-mail or other means, information about materials and activities that may be of interest to them, including products or services of third parties. For these reasons, we may share such information with third parties. If you are an individual who has provided us with your personal information online or offline and you do not want us to share your information with third parties, or if there is a media notification that you no longer wish to receive from us, please let us know by sending us your name, address, e-mail and phone number at: Opt-Out Request, Scholastic Inc., 557 Broadway — Room 4010, New York, NY 10012. If you are writing to request that you no longer receive a particular media notification from us, please include the name of the media notification. In addition, in every e-mail that we send, we provide a link that you can click on to enable you to opt out of receiving future e-mails from the sender.
FOR PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
There are many activities on the Scholastic site that children can participate in and enjoy without having to share personally identifiable information.
For those activities that require personally identifiable information, such as contests and sweepstakes, in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, Scholastic will not condition a child’s participation in an activity on that child disclosing more personally identifiable information than is reasonably necessary to administer the activity. For certain online activities, we may require verifiable parental consent before collecting or using personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. With these activities, Scholastic will notify the respective parent of our privacy policy and obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personally identifiable information from the child, unless we collect only the child’s name and online contact information to: (1) obtain parental consent or provide parents with notice; (2) respond directly on a one-time basis to a child’s specific request; (3) respond more than once to a child’s specific request along with providing parental notice of such use; (4) protect the safety of a child; or (5) comply with legal requirements. When we provide parents with notice and/or seek consent, we also give parents the ability to let us know if they do not want any further use made of the personally identifiable information we have collected from their child. Parents can request to review or have deleted their child’s personally identifiable information from Scholastic’s records, and refuse to permit further use of a child’s personally identifiable information by writing to us at: e-Scholastic, 557 Broadway, New York, New York 10012, Re: Parent’s Request for Information. Parents can also print, complete and return this letter to the specified address.
Unless we indicate otherwise and obtain prior parental consent, personally identifiable information collected from children under the age of 13 will be used solely by Scholastic or Scholastic’s contractors or agents for internal purposes (such as sweepstakes administration and services related to the operation of our site) and will not be sold or otherwise transferred to third parties.
It is Scholastic’s policy never to post on its site more than a child’s first name, first initial of last name, state, and age or grade.
