At figureology.com, we are committed to ensuring the safety and privacy of children who visit our site. Our Children’s Online Privacy Policy provides details on how we collect, share, and obtain parental consent for personal information provided by children under the age of 13 (“child” or “children”). Please note that the terms used in this policy are defined in our general Privacy Policy.
Collection of Information, Use of it, and Communication with Parents
Children can access and view the content on the site without providing any personal information, except for automatic collection of device “persistent identifiers,” which are explained in more detail below. The site collects only a limited amount of personal information. If the collected information does not enable contact with the child or the child’s device (including, for example, aggregate information), we may use and disclose it for any purpose, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Personally Identifiable Information
To comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, we do not intentionally gather personally identifiable data from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we discover that we have collected such personal data without parental consent, we will remove it from our records.
Persistent Identifiers
When children engage with our site, certain technical information may be automatically collected to improve the site’s functionality and for other internal purposes related to our business. Examples of such data include the type of operating system, IP address or mobile device identifier, web browser, frequency of site visits, and information about the online or mobile service provider. This data is collected through techniques like flash cookies, web beacons, and other unique identifiers, as outlined in our general Privacy Policy under the “Cookies and Other Technologies” section. The data may be collected by us or a third party.

CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS
Under the California Civil Code Section 1798.83, which is also known as the “Shine The Light” law, California residents who are our users can request and receive from us, once a year and without any charge, information about the categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with whom we shared personal information during the previous calendar year. If you are a California resident and would like to make such a request, please contact us in writing using the contact information provided below.
ACCESS AND DATA PORTABILITY RIGHTS
Upon request, you have the right to receive certain information from us regarding our collection and use of your Personal Information within the past 12 months. Once we receive and verify your request, we will provide you with the following information:

DELETION REQUEST RIGHTS
If you make a request, we will delete your Personal Information from our records, subject to some exceptions. We will delete your Personal Information once we confirm your verifiable consumer request, unless one of the following exceptions applies:
-
If it is necessary to complete the transaction, provide a requested good or service, perform a contract, or take actions that are reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you.
-
If it is necessary to detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
-
If it is necessary to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
-
If it is necessary to exercise a right provided for by law.
-
If it is necessary to comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act or other legal obligations.
-
If it is necessary to engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest, and the deletion of your Personal Information may make it impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, provided that you previously gave informed consent.
-
If it is necessary for solely internal uses that align with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
-
If it is necessary for other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.
EXERCISING ACCESS, DATA PORTABILITY, AND DELETION RIGHTS
To make use of your right to access, data portability, and deletion, kindly send us a verifiable consumer request through a message on our website. You, or an individual authorized by you and registered with the California Secretary of State, may submit a request related to your Personal Information. If you have a minor child, you can also submit a verifiable consumer request on their behalf. Note that you can only make two requests for access or data portability in a 12-month period.
Your verifiable consumer request must include enough information to enable us to verify that you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information, or an authorized representative. You must also provide a detailed description of your request for us to properly understand and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you.
We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. We aim to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days of receiving it, but we will inform you in writing of the reason and extension period if we require more time. We will send our written response to you by mail or electronically, as you prefer.
We will provide disclosures that cover only the 12 months preceding the receipt of the verifiable consumer request. If we are unable to comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response. For data portability requests, we will choose a format that enables you to transmit the information from one entity to another without difficulty, typically by electronic mail communication. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request, unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that a fee is appropriate, we will inform you of the reasons and provide you with an estimate of the cost before fulfilling your request.
OPT-OUT AND OPT-IN RIGHTS
If you are 16 years old or older, you have the option to instruct us not to sell your Personal Information at any time (known as the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the Personal Information of consumers who are under 16 years of age unless we obtain affirmative consent (the “right to opt-in”) from the consumer who is between 13 and 16 years old or the parent or guardian of a consumer under 13 years old. Consumers who have given their consent to the sale of Personal Information may opt out of such sales at any time.
To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may send us a request via email at info@figureology.com.
We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to assess and comply with the request.
NON-DISCRIMINATION
We will not retaliate against you for exercising your CCPA rights. However, it’s important to note that some features of our website, products, or services may not be available without your Personal Information. We will not, unless allowed by the CCPA:
-
Deny you goods or services.
-
Charge you different rates or prices for goods or services, or give you discounts, benefits, or penalties.
-
Provide you with different levels or quality of goods or services.
-
Imply that you will get different rates or prices or different levels or quality of goods or services.
However, we may provide you with CCPA-permitted financial incentives that may result in different rates, prices, or quality levels. Any financial incentive we offer will be reasonably related to the value of your Personal Information and will include written terms that describe the essential features of the program. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
If you are a California resident, you can request information about our disclosure of your Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83). To make this request, you can send us an electronic message through our website or write to us at our email address listed on our webpage.
