Collection Information

Non-Personal Information
Certain non-personal information about site visits is recorded by the standard operation of the Internet servers on which our websites are operated. The non-personal information that we collect includes the type of operating system in use (e.g., Macintosh or Windows), the type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer), IP addresses, and the number and frequency of visitors to our site.

We offer children many fun features on our website, such as mall events, backgrounds, screensavers, etc., which do not require children to provide any personal information. In using these features, however, Simon Property Group may collect certain non-personal information from children under 13 by using small text files known as cookies. We use cookies for several purposes, such as to recognize visitors to our sites, to determine the number of unique visitors to our site, and to ascertain which site pages they visit. We may associate non-personal information we collect with personal information we collect from or about children to our websites. We may also allow unaffiliated third parties to place cookies on the hard drives of visitors to our websites.

You are always free to decline cookies, but in doing so your child may not be able to use certain features on our websites. The "help" segment of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to configure your browser to not accept new cookies, how to have the browser inform you when you receive a new cookie, and how to erase cookies from your hard drive.

We may also use web beacons to count page visits by our users, to access our cookies, and otherwise to improve your experience on our websites.

Personal Informaton
We may collect certain personal information, such as first and last name, birth date, home or other physical address, e-mail address, telephone number, parents' credit card information, online account numbers, and passwords, from children under 13 who visit our website. We do not, however, make a child's participation in any website activity contingent on that child's disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in that activity. The Simon Kidgits Club® terms and conditions further describes the collection and use of this type of information and is updated regularly.

Security of Information
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personally identifiable information. We allow access to personal information only to persons engaging in activity provided for by the simon.com Kids Online Privacy Policy. We use Secure Socket Layer technology, among other technologies, to protect any credit card information that parents may provide us.

Unforeseen Circumstances
In the event that Simon Property Group or any of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal information acquired by Simon Property Group may be one of the assets transferred.

Changes to This Privacy Statement
On occasion, it may be necessary for us to change the terms of the simon.com Kids Online Privacy Policy. To ensure that you are aware of current privacy practices, we recommend that you check this site or the Simon Kidgits Club terms and conditions periodically. We will not materially change how we handle previously collected information without providing notice and choice as to how we use that information.

How You Can Consent To The Collection, Use, And Disclosure Of Information
If we have collected your child's name and/or online contact information in order to allow him or her to participate in the Simon Kidgits Club personalized activities or features, we will e-mail you a notice offering you an opportunity to opt out of this use at any time. If you do so, we will delete all information we have collected from your child. We will not collect any other personal information from your child or make any other use of your child's personal information unless we receive your express, verifiable consent to do so, unless covered in the Simon Kidgits Club terms and conditions.

Communicating with Children and Other Uses
When a child attempts to provide his or her personal information for any reason other than discussed immediately above, we will attempt to notify the child's parent or guardian of our privacy policies and offer him or her an opportunity to consent to the collection and use of personal information from the child.

How You Can Review Collected Information
We believe that parents should be involved in their children's online activities. Upon request, we will provide parents and guardians with a description of the categories of personal information we have collected from their children and an opportunity to review all personal information we have collected from their children. We will also honor requests from parents and guardians that we delete any personal information we have collected from their children, or that we stop any additional use of this personal information. We take all reasonable precautions to ensure that the person requesting information about a child is that child's parent or guardian.
