Hair Saloon® For Men is committed to complying fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”). Some of our information collection practices are described below. We urge kids to check with their parents before entering information on any Web site and we urge parents to discuss with their kids restrictions regarding the online release of personal information to anyone they do not know.

Contests and Promotions.

Hair Saloon® For Men occasionally offers contests and promotions, which may be entered online. To participate in a contest or promotion, a child is asked to provide his or her first name and e-mail address. Sometimes, when we conduct contests or promotion that may involve more than a one-time contact, we ask additionally for the e-mail address of his or her parent. In such types of contests or promotion, we send the child’s parent an e-mail within two business days informing him or her of the child’s entry and give the parent the option to have the child’s entry deleted. All the information collected by Hair Saloon® For Men is securely maintained and used only for the purpose of conducting the contest or promotion. Once the contest or promotion is finished, we then delete any personal information collected. The information collected in a Hair Saloon® For Men promotion may be passed to a fulfillment house which may use the information to help run the contest or promotion and may not use it for other purposes and has agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Additionally, in the event that all or substantially all of the assets relating to Hair Saloon® For Men are transferred or sold to another entity, personally identifiable information submitted to us may be transferred to the acquiring entity. Finally, we may also disclose personally identifiable information to third parties in order to comply with law or requests by law enforcement agencies, to enforce our Privacy Policy and associated terms and conditions or to protect the rights, property or safety of our Web site, users of our Web site and others.

Parental Access.

At Hair Saloon® For Men, our goal is to help parents ensure that their kids have a safe and fun online experience. That is why we have set up a system by which parents can print out and mail or fax us a signed form that allows them to review any identifiable information collected about their child, have this information deleted, and/or request that there be no further collection or use of their child’s information.

You can link to the form from here. Hair Saloon® For Men takes steps to verify the identity of anyone requesting information about a child and to ensure that the person is in fact the child’s parent or legal guardian.
