Registration for an online user account only collects an E-mail address and
password you select, as well as an optional birthdate field. Birthdate
information is not shared with any third parties and is only requested for age
verification. We do not monitor or collect information from your user account

Townleygirl.com with parent or guardian permission.

Online Contest/Sweepstakes
[Back To Top]
You can enter contests or
sweepstakes sponsored by Townleygirl.com or Townley Inc. Our contests and
sweepstakes require a minimal amount of information to register, but we always
collect your E-mail address so that we can notify you of the results of the
contest. If you are under the age of 13, you must provide the E-mail address of
a parent or guardian when entering the contest and Townleygirl.com will notify
the parent or guardian of your contest entry and offer the ability to cancel the
entry. Townleygirl.com is prohibited by law from conditioning your participation

is reasonably necessary to participate.

General Fan E-Mail
[Back To Top]
We do not collect the E-mail
addresses of people who write to us via E-mail except to respond to them. Unless
we know that we have received the E-mail from a reader who is 13 or over, we
will discard the E-mail addresses within 30 days.
In regards to any of the above platforms, Townleygirl.com will not disclose
or sell any of the personal information provided via the specified retrieval
platforms to any third parties unless required by law or when we have reason to
believe that someone is causing injury to or interfering with our rights or
property, or Townleygirl.com users.
Townleygirl.com Surveys
[Back To Top]
Townleygirl.com is designed to
allow users to freely navigate a fun, safe and informational site that is
engaging and useful for the user. Townley Inc. wishes to learn our users'
preferences regarding likes and dislikes concerning Townleygirl.com features and
Townley Inc. products so that our website is user friendly and fun. Data
collected from surveys is used for internal Townley Inc. and Townleygirl.com
use, and will never be disclosed to third party vendors. Survey participation is
100% anonymous, and Townleygirl.com will never ask for your name, address or
E-mail address. If personal
information such as name or E-mail address is accidentally given by the user in
the survey form where it wasn't supposed to be included, we will delete it
before storing the information. We sometimes ask for your zip code only so that
we can compare likes, dislikes and attitudes between users in different
geographical areas. We sometimes will ask for your age so that we can compare
likes, dislikes and attitudes across the different age brackets of our users.
All of our surveys are
optional, and there are no prizes or rewards for participating in any
Townleygirl.com survey unless otherwise specified.
