Effective
Date: April, 2007.
Please note: our privacy policy changes from time to time.
Please check back frequently for updates.
Our Commitment to Privacy
The information collection, use, and dissemination practices
of Think a Little Different (the "Company") are discussed in this
policy. This policy applies to Company's information collection (a) on
Company's websites, (b) on various third party websites, and (c) to Company's
other information collection, including the purchase of customer lists from
third parties.
The Information We Collect
Non-Identifiable Information
We collect information through
technology to make our site more interesting and useful to you. For instance,
when you come to one of our sites, we collect your IP address. An IP address
is often associated with the portal through which you enter the Internet, like
your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Standing alone, your IP address is not
personally identifiable. At times, we also use IP addresses to collect
information regarding the frequency with which our guests visit various parts
of our site.
We also collect the anonymous
information through the use of “cookies.” A cookie is an element of data that
a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your system.
Some features of our website use cookies to better serve you when you return to
our site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie,
giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your
browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some areas of our website
may not function properly.
Web bugs. A web beacon is programming
code that can be used to display an image on a web page (by using an
programming function -- see www.w3.org for more information), but can also be
used to transfer an individual's unique user identification (often in the form
of a cookie) to a database and associate the individual with previously
acquired information about an individual in a database. If you wish more information

Personally Identifiable Information
Much of the personally identifiable
information we receive comes directly from website visitors who voluntarily
completes a Company survey, order form, or a registration page either online or
offline, or by means of online or offline surveys, order forms, or registration
pages operated by third parties (collectively, a "Survey"). In the
Surveys, the Company or a third party (a "Third Party") may ask an
individual to provide various information to the Company, which may include his
or her name, email address, street address, zip code, telephone numbers
(including cell phone numbers and carriers), birth date, gender, salary range,
education and marital status, occupation, employment information, personal and
online interests, and such other information as may requested from time to time
(together, "Survey Information").
Payment Information
The Company may in certain cases
collect credit card numbers and related information, such as the expiration
date of the card ("Credit Card Information") when an individual
places an order from Company. When the Credit Card Information is submitted to
Company, such information is encrypted and is protected with SSL encryption
software. The Company will use the Credit Card Information for purposes of
processing and completing the purchase transaction, and the Credit Card
Information will be disclosed to third parties only as necessary to complete
the purchase transaction.
Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of children is especially important.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) applies to the online
collection of personal information from children under the age of 13. It is
designed to ensure that parents are in control over what information is
collected from children under 13. For that reason, we never collect
information at our website from those we actually know are under 13. Any
information about a child under the age of 13 must be submitted by the child’s
parent or legal guardian.
The Company will never knowingly collect any personal
information about children under the age of 13. If the Company obtains actual
knowledge that it has collected personal information about a child under the
age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from our database.
How Your Information Is Used

The Company may sell or transfer
non-individualized information, such as summary or aggregated anonymous
