Safeguarding Your Personal Privacy
Taboo Playground takes your personal privacy extremely seriously. We take extra care to safeguard your privacy from the second you land on our homepage to the moment your order arrives at your front door. Here is just a few of our special measures:
Strong Computer Defenses
Taboo Playground has comprehensive, companywide standards for maintaining the privacy and safety of your personal and billing information. While we cannot go into explicit details, our safeguards include multi-layered firewalls and virus scans, secured servers, mandatory password changes, and the very latest in computer encryption.
Anonymous Shipping
All our products are shipped as anonymously as possible. Depending on your order, you might receive a plain box, or an envelope lined with bubble wrap. Because Taboo Playground is a very recognized name, we use an alias on the return address label to protect your privacy.
By using the Site or obtaining any product or service through this Site, you agree to the limited collection and use of information as outlined in this Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use the Site.
Emails from TabooPlayground.com or its business partners, and the Site itself, may contain links to other Internet websites, including sites that may or may not be owned or operated by TabooPlayground.com. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, we are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites, including their use of any information (such as IP number, browser type or operating system) collected when email recipients or Site visitors click through links to those sites. If you visit such websites, we encourage you to become familiar with the privacy practices of the sites to ensure a safe browsing experience.
We may from time to time update this Policy to reflect changing technology and other factors. We will notify you of changes to the Policy by posting the updated Policy on this page. We ask that you bookmark and periodically review this page to ensure that you remain familiar with the most current version of the Policy.
Information That We Collect
Taboo Playground processes your personal information to meet our legal, statutory, and contractual obligations and to provide you with our products and services. We will never collect any unnecessary personal data from you and do not process your information in any way other than as specified in this Policy.
TabooPlayground.com collects two basic types of information during your visits to our Site.
First, we collect non-personally identifiable information. This is general information that cannot be traced to individuals and contains no personalized data, think of it as a simple census form. When visitors come to our Site, we collect and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages of the Site were visited, the order in which they were visited and which links on the site were clicked. Collecting such information involves logging the IP addresses, operating system and browser software used by each visitor to the Site. Although such information is not personally identifiable, it may be possible to determine from an IP address a visitor’s Internet Service Provider and the general geographic location of the visitor’s point of connectivity. We then use this information in making modifications and improvements to the site to provide users with a smoother and more efficient shopping experience.
Second, TabooPlayground.com collects personally identifiable information as needed to provide you with requested services and to process your orders. This information is provided directly by you, such as when you complete the account sign-up form, order form, or email marketing opt-in form and/or when you provide information over the telephone. The personally identifiable information you provide may include the following information, which we use as indicated below:
- Name — used for order fulfillment and marketing
- Date of Birth — used to ensure that you are a legal adult
- Mailing, Shipping and Billing Addresses — used for order fulfillment and marketing
- Email Address — used for order status communication and marketing
- Telephone Number(s) — used for order status communication and marketing
- Credit Card or Debit Card Number — used for payment for orders
Further, when you use the Site to purchase a product as a gift and ask us to deliver it for you, we collect personally identifiable information that you provided regarding the gift recipient, including their name and mailing address.
