Data Collection Form & Use of Information Collected
Hey guys we're really glade that you've decided to take a stance and change your world by joining our underground movement. We will be collecting some data - which usually is used in the wrong way - that will be used towards the greater good of changing the way brands engage with us / consumers. The personally identifiable information collected on gorillaunderground.com, which includes full name (first and last), email address, date of birth, and zip code will be used to keep you informed of the latest movements within the underground and to help shape personal brand consumer engagements. Think about it - ever time you make a statement or post your thoughts within the underground, you will be helping to change the way we receive and interact with the brands you love - starting first with entertainment. We also want to let you know that we will never post or display any of the user's personally identifiable information or share any of their info with any 3rd party services outside of those necessary to manage the gorillaunderground.com web servers and online services.
Opt-out Policy
Personally identifiable information received from our form is used to keep you up to date with the latest underground movements. The default assumption is that the user has "opted-in" and consented to use of their information in this manner and in accordance with our standard policies and procedures. If a user no longer wishes to receive emails from gorillaunderground.com, they can click on the "op-out" link on the bottom of all email communications. If you, the user, no longer wishes to receive messages from gorilla you can send a request using the Questions form provided at the footer of the gorillaunderground Web site.
Age Restriction and COPPA Compliance
The gorillaunderground.com forms are not intended for use by children who are under the age of 14. There will be times when the personal brands and celebrities that are participating with the underground may attract those under the age of 14. Knowing that we will not knowingly collect any information from site visitors in this age group and have taken such measures by requiring all users to enter their birth date prior to entering personally identifiable information. If at the time the user is under the age of 14 our system will inform them that they are not old enough to complete this process.
However, if we learn that a child under the age of 14 has submitted personally identifiable information online, in contravention of these measures, we will take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our databases and to not use such information for any purpose except where necessary to protect the safety of the child or others or as required by law. For purposes of this policy, information regarding your children that you (the parent) provide to us is treated in the same manner as information collected about users over the age of 14.
Also, the underground is about our TROOPS (members) having the freedom to speak their thoughts and opinions towards certain brands in discussion. That being said, there will be times when the language in the underground may not be suitable for those under the age of 14. With that being said - parents this is for you - WE LEAVE THE PARENTING TO YOU & BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP TABS ON YOUR CHILDREN WHILE THEY PARTICIPATE ON THE NET.
