World Playground is committed to responsible information management practices. As a part of that commitment, this World Playground Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is an effort to provide users of our websites, including at https://www.worldplayground.co and https://members.worldplayground.co (collectively, the “Websites” or this “Website”), (which includes our regular and mobile websites) with a clear understanding of how we collect information, how we use the information we collect, with whom we disclose such information, and the steps we take to secure the information we collect.

By using our Websites, you consent to the collection, use and sharing of your information by World Playground in accordance with this Privacy Policy. 

It is important for the Website users to read the Privacy Policy carefully. The Privacy Policy may change over time in coordination with new or different services that we may provide in the future, or for other unforeseeable reasons. We have provided an “effective date” and  a last updated so that Website users can be aware of the Privacy Policy in effect at all times. We encourage all users to occasionally refer to this Privacy Policy so that they can remain aware of our current practices. 

In the event that you are a resident and/or citizen of the EEA, please refer to the section of this Privacy Policy titled “Notice to EEA Citizens and Residents Only—Your Rights” for more information.

The Websites, Services, Communications and Participation Opportunities are collectively referred to as the “Company Activities and Interactions.” 

What information is being collected?

  1. Personally Identifiable Information: This category includes information that would allow us to identify you personally. This includes contact information, such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses, driver’s license information, and phone numbers, as well as billing information, such as credit card numbers. For instance, if a customer desires to make an online payment, we require the customer via a third party payment processor (e.g., Stripe) to provide a valid credit card number. 
  2. Other Information: This category refers to information that does not directly identify a specific individual. For instance, this Website may track the total number of visitors to the Website, the number of visitors to a particular page of the Website, and/or other such technical information. This data may be used to diagnose problems with the Website, gather demographic, geographic and other information that does not directly identify you to improve our services or marketing efforts, improve our services and product, and for similar purposes. We may also make Personally Identifiable Information anonymous or aggregate such anonymous data so that it becomes Other Information.

How Do We Collect Information?

  1. Voluntarily Provided Information: World Playground may collect information, which may include Personally Identifiable Information, voluntarily provided to us by the user. This information may be collected in coordination with a voluntary survey, information or service request, promotional contest, participate in a give-away or by similar voluntary methods. 
  2. Passive Information Collection: World Playground may also collect information, which may include Personally Identifiable Information, automatically when you visit the Website. This information may include website “traffic” data or IP addresses (an IP address is a number automatically assigned to your computer in order to use the Internet), or other anonymous data. Information may be collected using technologies such as standard server logs, cookies, pixels, and clear GIFs or Web beacons. 
  3. When You Contact Us: Personally Identifiable Information may be gathered as a result of phone calls, emails or other communications with us, including those communications on or through the Website. In the case of phone calls, some Personally Identifiable Information may be collected automatically, like a phone number.
  4. Third Party Information: World Playground may collect information, which may include Personally Identifiable Information, from third parties (such as third-party platforms) and vendors and add it to the other information collected.

How Do We Use Personally Identifiable Information?

Information collected by this Website is used for the following purposes:

  • To provide you with the services you request;
  • To address customer inquiries or issues;
  • To maintain customer accounts and dealings;
  • To process customer payments;
  • To enhance Website operations;
  • To provide marketing and promotional efforts, including retargeting;
  • To enforce agreements, address security hazards, prevent fraud or illegal or improper activities; 
  • For administrative purposes; 
  • For other legally permissible purposes. 

We allow you to “opt-out” of receiving certain marketing material, as discussed in more detail below.

How Long Do We Retain Information?

We retain relevant Personally Identifiable Information related to your account and/or your business relationship with us pursuant to applicable federal and state rules and regulations and so long as retaining said Personally Identifiable Information is necessary including, but not limited to, the duration of time that you utilize World Playground’s service, including our Website, the duration for which any amounts owed to World Playground are due by you, and a reasonable period after termination of any business relationship via signed release and/or communications between World Playground and You.  For additional information, please contact team@worldplayground.co.

To What Extent Do We Disclose Your Information to Third Parties?

World Playground may share your information in the following situations:

  1. Service Providers: We may share your information, including Personally Identifiable Information, with third parties or affiliates to assist in our business operations (e.g., to process payments, store data, deliver information, and perform other similar functions), or to provide the services you have requested. 
  2. Business Transfers: We may share your information, including Personally Identifiable Information, as part, of or in connection with, a merger, acquisition, assignment, as part of debt financing, the sale of company assets, or in any similar transaction, or to the extent as may be required in the unlikely event of insolvency bankruptcy, or a receivership.

How is Personally Identifiable Information Secured?

We employ safeguards designed to help preserve our Websites’ user’s security and privacy and to help prevent the misuse of any Personally Identifiable Information. These safeguards are consistent with industry standards. In addition to other procedural safeguards, we use security software (SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, technology) and firewalls to protect your information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we can make no representations or warranties regarding the security of any data exchanged through the Websites. There are potential security risks beyond our control. With this in mind, by using the Website you acknowledge that you are transmitting data through the Websites at your own risk.

World Playground is providing these links to you only as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by World Playground of any Linked Sites or any association with its operators, or with any of its products or services.

You should be aware that third party sites which display advertisements linking to our Websites may use a “cookie” to passively collect information to tailor advertising for you. We do not have control over or access to the third-party data collected.

We may also share such information where we believe it may limit our liability in an actual or potential lawsuit, or where otherwise necessary to protect our rights, interests and/or property (including, without limitation, to enforce our agreements), or the rights, interests and/or property of our agents, independent contractors, customers, and others. This may include release of your Personally Identifiable Information if there is an unpaid balance on your account; you hereby authorize us, our agents, or our independent contractors to refer your Personally Identifiable Information to a collection agency and the unpaid balance may be reported to a credit agency, which may damage your credit.
