At Victoria Productions we recognize that privacy is important. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to your use of the Victoria Productions applications on all platforms (the “Application” or “Applications”) and the Site. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service (“TOS”) found at http://vproductions.net/tos.php.

Victoria Productions, Inc. (“Victoria Productions,” “us” or “we”) has created this privacy policy (the “Policy”) to explain our privacy practices so you will understand what information about you is collected, used and disclosed with respect to the Applications and the Site.

By using any Application or the Site, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Policy.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify or otherwise alter this Policy at any time. You can find the most recent version of this Policy at http://vproductions.net/privacy.php, with the date of last modification noted above. Such modifications shall become effective immediately upon the posting thereof on the Site. Therefore, we encourage you to check the date of this Policy whenever you access or use an Application or the Site to check if this Policy has been updated. You must review this Policy on a regular basis to keep yourself apprised of any changes. If you do not agree to any modifications to this Policy, your sole recourse is to immediately stop all use of all Applications and the Site. Your continued use of any Application and/or the Site following the posting of any modifications to this Policy will constitute your acceptance of the revised Policy. If we make any material changes to this policy, we may notify you more prominently, and if necessary, obtain your prior consent or the prior consent of a parent or guardian. Should you have any questions regarding this Policy, please contact us at the contact information listed at the end of this Policy. Please note that none of our employees or agents has the authority to vary any of our Policies.

This Policy covers our collection, use and disclosure of your information through the Applications and the Site. It does not cover any collection, use or disclosure by third parties through any applications, Web sites, products or services that we do not control or own, such as Facebook, or any third party features or services made available via an Application or the Site. All trademarks, trade names, and logos of third parties featured on the Applications or the Site belong to their respective owners.

1. WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect the following types of information below through your use of the Applications and/or the Site.

Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that identifies you or another person. Personal Information may be transmitted or received when you use an Application and/or the Site. We collect Personal Information if you provide it directly to us via email or through the Applications or the Site. We may also collect Personal Information when you send us messages, comments, questions or suggestions or if you participate in blogs, forums, message boards, chat rooms, profile pages and other services within which you are able to post information, if any, through the Victoria Productions Services and/or on the Site (collectively, “Forums”). We may also collect Personal Information through certain features of one or more Applications (and in some instances will allow you to opt-out of such collection or retention of certain Personal Information). In some instances, certain Applications do not have to be in active use in order for your Personal Information to be collected through them.

Non-Personal Information. “Non-Personal Information” is information that does not identify you or any other individual, and includes Session and Usage Data, Log Data and Aggregate Information, each as described below.

Session and Usage Data. “Session and Usage Data” is information about your use of an Application and/or the Site and includes, without limitation, connection and service-related data submitted to us through your use of an Application or the Site. Session and Usage Data includes information relating to the connection request, server communication and data sharing, including network measurements, quality of service, and date, time and location of the Application. We also may aggregate Session and Usage data as described in Aggregate Information below.

Aggregate Information. “Aggregate Information” is data we collect about a group or category of services or Users from which individual User identities have been removed. In other words, information on how you use the Applications and the Site may be collected and combined with information about how others use the Applications and the Site, but no personally identifiable information will be included in the resulting Aggregate Information. Aggregate Information helps us understand trends in our Users’ needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor the Applications and the Site.

Many of our Applications, such as our numerous Lulu&Lala and Tagme3D mobile e-books, are meant to be used by children. These apps allow for the scanning of book pages onto the app so we can recognize the book and allow for reading of the book on a mobile device. These apps may also allow for the child to record his/her voice together with the story/narrative of the book, however, the child’s voice recording is stored locally within the app and is not uploaded back to our servers.

Our children’s apps do not knowingly collect and upload any personal information from children users under the age of 13, and they do not allow kids to publicize or share personal information with other users. In addition, we employ a parental gate before linking out of our apps to our online book store for parents and grown-ups.

Because we do not currently collect and upload from our apps any personal information from children users, we do not currently provide a mechanism for parents to review or modify their children’s personal information.
