Welcome to WichitasFavoriteMom.com (the "Site"), a web site provided by Tillies Flower Shop("we", "us" or "our"). We want you to feel comfortable using the Site, so we have created this Privacy Policy to let you know what information we may collect from you on the Site and how we may use that information. Please take a moment to review the terms of our Privacy Policy. By using the Site, you agree to accept the terms of our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly in any submission, message boards or similar web pages. Please keep in mind that whenever you publicly disclose information about yourself or your nominee online - for example on your contest nominee submission video, that information could be collected and used by people you do not know. We bear no responsibility for any action or policies on any third parties who collect any information you may disclose on your submission video or message board on the Site. We cannot control the actions of our Site users and advise you to use your discretion in sharing personal information about yourself and/or your nominee on the Internet. All information sharing is optional and done so at your own risk.

1. PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect personally identifiable information about you when you voluntarily complete and transmit to us a nominee submission form and/or sweepstakes entry form with personal information ("PII") about you and/or your nominee. You must obtain consent from a nominee prior to submitting his/her PII. The categories of PII we collect may include, without limitation, first and last name, address, email address, and telephone number. Any information you disclose voluntarily on our comments pages or in any forums we may develop in the future becomes public information. We may also collect non personally identifiable information. This may include the operating system you are working on, the internet browser you are using, the domain name of your interest service provider, and the web sites you visit directly before or after coming to the Site.

2. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
The information we collect is used to provide you information or content that you have requested, to contact you or your nominee in connection with your nominee submission form and/or sweepstakes form, and any other purpose that is identified at the time of collection. It may also be used to contact you, via e-mail or regular mail, to provide you with information we believe may be of interest to you, such as current promotions, products and services, specials and new additions to our Site.

Unless prohibited by law, we may disclose your personally identifiable information to: (a) our affiliates (which are companies that we control, or that control us or that are controlled by the same entity that control us); (b) Ben Silverman Productions LLC DBA Reveille and NBC Universal, Inc. solely in connection with the production and promotion of the America's Favorite Mom nomination contest; (c) our sponsors solely in connection with promotional opportunities for America's Favorite Mom nomination contest; (d) our third party service providers solely for their use in connection with providing services to us; (e) governmental agency and law enforcement agencies in connection with a court order or subpoena or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation, or to report activities in good faith believe to be unlawful; and (f) and other third parties if and as necessary to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims.

We may sometimes disclose your PII to our third-party business partners in order to allow them to perform certain services for us, such as, for example, fulfilling a sweepstakes or providing marketing assistance and data analysis. In addition, we may sometimes share your PII with other companies within our family of companies, and they may send you periodic communications that we believe will be of interest to you. If you prefer not to receive such communications from us, you will have an opportunity to decline before you provide us information we might use for this purpose. As we develop, we may buy other businesses or their assets or sell our business assets. Customer information is generally one of the business assets involved in such transactions. Thus, in the event that we or all of our assets are acquired, customer information would be one of the transferred assets. Finally, we reserve the right to disclose visitor information to applicable authorities in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with our rights or property, other visitors, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. This includes our right to exchange information with other organizations in order to protect against fraud and to reduce credit risk. We also reserve the right to disclose visitor information to applicable authorities when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

3. COOKIES
Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at the Site. The use of cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find them at most web sites. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Information such as the total number of visitors and pages viewed is most easily tracked with cookies. We may use the information from cookies to make improvements and updates to the Site and to tailor our services to our visitors' needs. You always have the option of disabling cookies using your browser preferences. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, please be aware that some features of the Site may not function properly or may be slower if you refuse cookies. You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. We do not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is common in the Internet industry.

4. LINKS TO OTHER SITES; "PUBLIC" AREAS
Please be aware that when you are on the Site, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites from the Site's pages that take you outside our Site. These other sites may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data or solicit personal information. The privacy policies of these other sites may be significantly different from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites and cannot guarantee the security of any of your personal information collected there.

5. SECURITY
Protecting the security of your personal information is very important to us. If you register with us, your online account information is protected by a password chosen by you. Access to that online account requires your username and password. We recommend that you do not disclose your username and password to any other person. When you transmit PII from your PC to our servers, your information also is protected by both a "firewall" intrusion detection system (a combination of computer hardware and software that helps keep unauthorized visitors from accessing information within our computer network) and, in certain circumstances, industry standard SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. Once we receive your transmission, we will take reasonable precautions to ensure its security on our systems using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.

6. PRIVACY POLICY FOR MINORS
Our Site is not intended or directed toward persons who are under 13 years of age. Children under the age of 13 are not eligible to use this Site, and we ask that children not submit any personal information to us.

7. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
The terms of this Privacy Policy may change from time to time, so please check this page periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
