KINGDOM OF X 
PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated 4/30/01

The web site you have entered is operated by, or on behalf of, Kingdom of X or its subsidiaries ("Kingdom of X").

Introduction
The Kingdom of X wants to help you make the most of your visit to our web sites, and that includes helping to protect your personal privacy. Most of the features on our web sites are offered without collecting any Personal Information from you. You can surf the Kingdom of X’s web sites and view much of our content anonymously. For those areas of our web sites and services that do require us to collect Personal Information, this Privacy Policy will tell you what you need to know to make good decisions for yourself and your family.

This Privacy Policy discloses when and how we collect, use, share, and safeguard information from this web site. The Personal Information we collect depends on what you do when you visit our sites or use the various products or services we offer. This Privacy Policy also explains what to do if you do not want to provide Personal Information when you visit our web sites, and how to correct or change information you have already provided to us.

By using this web site, you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy, as posted in this area of the site. If you do not agree with any terms or practices described in this Privacy Policy, please do not use our web sites.

As used in this Privacy Policy, "Personal Information" means personally identifiable information, such as your name, street address, telephone number, date of birth and e-mail address. When Personal Information is collected, you will know because you will have to fill out a form on the web site. When you make a purchase, or sign up for a paid service, we will also collect your credit card information as additional Personal Information. We will use credit card information only to complete the transactions you have requested.

Collection of Personal Information
The Kingdom of X collects Personal Information from visitors to our web sites in the following ways:

- Subscriptions to our newsletters. 
- Participation in contests and sweepstakes.
- Registrations to receive free downloadable desktop applications (e.g., screensavers).
- Registrations to participate in chat services (such as Kingdom of X chat), message boards and the gaming area.
- Registrations to send electronic greeting cards.
- Purchases of merchandise (including magazine subscriptions), Streaming events, and transactions where home delivery is required.
- E-mail transmitted via various links on our web sites.

The use of any of these services is entirely optional and voluntary; however, if you do not provide the Personal Information requested, we may elect to not make the related services available for your use. If you send us an e-mail in which you disclose Personal Information, we will use it to discuss the subject of your correspondence and, if appropriate, share it with other interested parties (such as manufacturers of merchandise you have purchased from a web site).

If you send us an e-mail, you should know that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. So, if your communication needs to include sensitive information like your bank account, credit card, or social security number, please contact us by postal mail or telephone (see Contact Us, below) rather than e-mail.

Cookies
In order to track your use of the site, the Kingdom of X uses "cookies," which are pieces of information that are sent by web sites and stored in your computer’s hard drive. Cookies provide you a service by allowing us to recognize your computer so we can save you from having to re-enter the same data every time you visit our web sites. They also allow us to learn how visitors use our web sites. This user data is aggregated for tracking purposes primarily by tallying pages viewed throughout our web sites and logging Internet Protocol ("IP") addresses and browser types.

Aggregated usage data enables us to tailor our content to our visitors’ interests and to help our advertisers better understand the preferences of our audience. Providing such usage data to advertisers is essential to keeping as many of our services free to visitors as is reasonably possible. This information does not reveal your identity although, in some cases, we may have to combine this non-identifiable information with Personal Information to enforce compliance with our Terms of Service or to protect our service, web sites, visitors or others.

If you do not want to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject them. However, if you turn cookies off, you will not have access to some the Kingdom of X features and services.

All Personal Information collected at our web sites is collected and stored in the United States. By submitting Personal Information to this web site, you are consenting to the storage of your Personal Information in the United States.

How We Use Your Information
We limit the manner in which your Personal Information is used.

If you have registered with us and do not want to be contacted in the future by the the Kingdom of X or our advertising partners, please see Opt-Out below.

If you order a product or service from us or register for one of our contests, promotions, or interactive services, the the Kingdom of X may share Personal Information with service providers, suppliers and other third parties (for example, sweepstakes sponsors or delivery services) that assist us in operating the web sites or providing the products or services. When we share your Personal Information with third parties, they may use your Personal Information to send you information on their additional products or services, but the the Kingdom of X does not allow them to sell or transfer your Personal Information to others. We do not otherwise sell or provide your Personal Information to third parties.
