Updated July, 2025

Welcome to Play With the World with Shannon Kaiser. Your privacy is important to me, and therefore I have developed this Privacy Policy to make sure that our Sites are positive and constructive spaces where you feel safe.

This Privacy Policy outlines my guidelines concerning the use of your personal information, including, the efforts I make to protect your personal information, and the choices you have concerning the use of such information. I may change this Privacy Policy from time to time without notice. Refer back to this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes. This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference to our Terms of Use.

Scope of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy covers only information collected on the Sites. It does not cover any information collected offline by me, nor does it cover the conduct of any Third-Party Sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any Third-Party Sites or services before providing any of them with your personal information.

Personal Information

You may visit our site anonymously. In connection with the Services we may request personal information from you (such as your name, street address, telephone number, credit card number, e-mail address) in connection with your use of, or participation in the Sites or Services. We only collect personal information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us. We will never intentionally disclose any personal information to any third party without your permission (through opting-in or similar procedures) except as provided for herein or otherwise as permitted or required under Applicable Laws. We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal information, except as set forth herein.

We collect your information:

  • To personalize your experience;
  • To improve our Sites;
  • To improve customer service; and
  • To process transactions.

We may contact you based on the information you provide online in connection with the Services or use the information in connection with the performance of the Services. We will share information with necessary third parties for the purpose of carrying out the Services. Your participation in the Services constitutes your consent to such disclosure and use of such information.

In the event that your personal information is requested as part of our surveys, polls or promotions, such personal information may be added to your registration information.
If you give us your permission or otherwise “opt-in”, we may also use personal information for marketing and promotional purposes. We will give you an opportunity to “opt-in” at the time our request for your personal information is made. Please note, however, that under certain circumstances, if you initially do not choose to “opt-in” or if you later “opt-out,” you may not be eligible for certain benefits or Services for which personal information is required.

These policies have the following exceptions: We will release specific information to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process or any Applicable Laws. We will also release specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach of the security of the Sites or a physical or property threat to you or others. We may provide access to your personal information to our contractors who are performing services for us in connection with our Sites or the Services that you have requested.

Any information you provide when making a purchase will be shared with payment processors, financial gateways, credit card companies and any other necessary third parties.

If you publicly post personal information on our Sites that information can be collected and used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users’ privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of information you post on the Sites and have no control over how such third parties may use your information. You disclose such information at your own risk. We strongly suggest that you never post your last name, address or telephone to our Sites.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and password. You shall be responsible for all uses of your account, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or password.
