General


The Coca-Cola Collector's Club ("the Club") and respects the privacy of every individual who visits our website. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") outlines the information the Club may collect from visitors to our website hosted in the United States and how we may use and disclose that information.

We encourage you to read this Policy before using our website. Your use of this website signifies that you agree with all terms of this Policy, so please do not use our website if you disagree with any part of this Policy.


What personal information do we collect and why do we collect it?


The Club may collect personal information about you (such as your name, postal address, telephone number and email address) that you provide voluntarily. You ordinarily are not required to register or provide personal information in order to access our website, although sections of our website may require registration. In addition, if you choose to contact us to ask a question we will collect your personal information so that we can respond to your question.

The Club may collect personal information online for all legal purposes, which include, but are not limited to:

Games, Contests and Promotions. The Club offers conventions, events and other activities that may require online registration. Persons wishing to participate in those activities are asked to provide certain personal information. Some of the information requested for this purpose is optional, but other information, such as email address, is mandatory because it will be needed to notify and identify participants. Also, some activities may require the selection of a user ID and password by the participating individual.

"Contact Us" and Comment Features. The Club encourages visitors to its websites to contact us with questions and comments. Email addresses and other information of persons using these features may be collected in order to facilitate our responses to those inquiries.

Special Promotions and Product Information. The Club also may offer you the opportunity to provide you with email updates and announcements. Personal information you have provided to the Club may be used to facilitate those communications.


When do we disclose the personal information we collect?


Except as provided herein, the Club will not sell or rent personal information about you to unaffiliated third parties.

We may disclose personal information you have provided through our website to persons or companies that we retain to carry out activities for which you have registered or in which you have otherwise asked to participate. We also will disclose personal information if required by law, including compliance with warrants, subpoenas or other legal process.

The Club requires persons and companies to which it discloses personal information to restrict their use of such information to the purposes for which it has been provided by to the Club and not to disclose that information to others. The Club cannot be responsible, however, for any damages caused by the failure of unaffiliated third parties to honor their privacy obligations to the Club. Similarly, the Club is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other websites that are linked to our websites.

In addition to these limited disclosures of personal information, the Club may provide its affiliates or unaffiliated third parties with aggregate information about visitors to our site. For example, we might disclose the median ages of visitors to our website, or the numbers of visitors to our website that come from different geographic areas. Such aggregate information will not include information of any individual visitors to our website.


Special Note for Parents


The Club takes seriously its obligations under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act concerning the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. Where appropriate, the Club will specifically instruct children not to submit personal information to our websites and/or will take reasonable steps to ensure that we obtain parental consent to such submission.

Parents should be aware that information that is voluntarily given by children or others in chat sessions, email exchanges, bulletin boards or the like may be used by other parties to generate unsolicited email or other contacts. The Club encourages all parents to instruct their children in the safe and responsible use of the Internet.


How do we protect your personal information?


The Club takes measures to prevent unauthorized intrusion to its websites and the alteration, acquisition or misuse of personal information by unauthorized persons. Notably, user IDs, passwords and credit card information submitted by users of our websites are encrypted using PayPal or other encryption mechanisms. However, the Club cautions visitors to its websites that no network, including the Internet, is entirely secure. Accordingly, we cannot be responsible for loss, corruption or unauthorized acquisition of personal information provided to our websites, or for any damages resulting from such loss, corruption or unauthorized acquisition.


How do we maintain the integrity of your personal information?


The Club has procedures in place to keep your personal information accurate, complete and current for the purposes for which it is collected and used. You may review the information that you have provided to us and where appropriate you may request that it be corrected. If you wish to review your personal information please contact the webmaster or send a request to:
