TonyHawk.com is the official website of Tony Hawk. It is designed to provide
updated information about Tony Hawk and things related to Tony Hawk. Our information-collection
practices are described below. We are committed to complying with the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, and we urge children under age 13 to
check with their parents before entering personal information on any website.
Also, we strongly recommend that parents discuss with their kids the risks of
sharing personal information online.
What Information Is Collected?
At TonyHawk.com, it's our policy to create a website that requires minimum collection
of information from our visitors. From time to time, however, we may request
limited personal information (e.g. a visitor's e-mail address and/or e-mail
address of parent or third party), as explained below, in order to conduct online
contests or sweepstakes or offer other online activities (such as e-mail announcements
of upcoming Tony Hawk appearances). TonyHawk.com does not require any visitor
to provide personal information in order to visit the website; we gather such
data only when it is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity. As
explained below, we also collect from parents additional types of information
(e.g., credit card and billing information) when they purchase products and
offerings at our site.
Signing up for E-mail Announcements
TonyHawk.com offers visitors the opportunity to sign up to receive periodic
e-mail announcements regarding Tony Hawk and/or the Boom Boom HuckJam tour.
When a child under age 13 asks to receive our e-mail newsletter, the child is
asked to provide his or her first name, e-mail address and the e-mail address
of his or her parent. Within two business days of receiving this information,
we send the child's parent notification e-mail informing him or her of the child's
request to receive by e-mail announcements from TonyHawk.com. At that point,
we give the parent the option to have his or her child's information be removed
from the TonyHawk.com e-mail database. At any time after receiving this notification
e-mail, the child's parent has the opportunity to exercise the option to request
that we remove the child from the TonyHawk.com mailing list by following the
"unsubscribe" instructions found in either their initial notification
e-mail or at the end of any of the TonyHawk.com e-mails.
All personal information collected for TonyHawk.com is used only to send visitors
e-mail announcements. If necessary, it may be transferred, disclosed, or shared
with third parties engaged by us specifically to handle the preparation and
delivery of such announcements. These third parties may not use it for other
purposes and will be under strict orders to maintain the confidentiality of
such information.
Contests and Sweepstakes
TonyHawk.com occasionally offers contests and sweepstakes, which may be entered
online. To participate in a contest or sweepstakes, a user is asked to provide
his or her first name and e-mail address. Sometimes, when we conduct contests
or sweepstakes that may involve more than a one-time contact, we ask additionally
for the e-mail address of a child's parent. In such types of contests or sweepstakes,
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 TonyHawk.com is securely maintained
and used only for the purpose of conducting the contest or sweepstakes. Once
the contest or sweepstakes is finished, we then delete any personal information
collected. If necessary, the information collected in a TonyHawk.com sweepstakes
may be passed to a fulfillment house which may use the information to help run
the contest or sweepstakes and may not use it for other purposes and has agreed
to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
Use of Information
TonyHawk.com uses or may use personally identifiable information that visitors
provide for such purposes as sending e-mail announcements and conducting contests
or sweepstakes, and responding to their questions regarding our products and
services. TonyHawk.com does not disclose to third parties personally identifiable
information that visitors provide, except that we may occasionally transfer,
disclose or share such information with third parties who may be engaged by
us specifically to handle and deliver certain online activities (e.g. conducting
contests and sweepstakes). Such third parties have access to personal information
needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Finally,
we may also disclose personally identifiable information to third parties in
order to comply with law or requests by law enforcement agencies or to protect
the rights, property or safety of our website, users of our website and others.

General Customer Service
Other than a parental e-mail address, TonyHawk.com does not request that users
submit any personal information online for customer service inquiries. We may,
however, ask for additional non-personal information to better help us respond
to customer service questions. We use the parental e-mail address to communicate
directly with parents about technology-related questions, and provide them with
answers that they and their child may find helpful. We do not sell, transfer
or share the parental e-mail address with third parties, with the exception
that the information may be transferred, disclosed and shared with a third party
agent who uses the information solely to handle and manage customer service,
but cannot use it for other purposes and has agreed to maintain the confidentiality
of such information. Once we or our third party agent have had a chance to provide
e-mail responses to customer service e-mail questions, the parental e-mail address
is deleted from our system.
Information Received from the TonyHawk.com Store
TonyHawk.com's on-line store collects personal information about its users and shares and
transfers such information with us. We use the personal information we receive

or share such information with third parties that may be engaged by us specifically
to handle and manage certain functions (e.g. fulfilling contests and sweepstakes).
Such third parties have access to personal information needed to perform their
