DISNEY ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY

The policies below are applicable to Disney.com and other sites on the World Wide Web portion of the Internet owned and operated by Disney Online.

Disney Online collects personally identifying information only during (i) contest or sweepstakes registration and (ii) subscription registration for sites which require subscription. In addition, information is collected in certain portions of sites in which guests specifically and knowingly provide such information along with content submissions, community postings (i.e., chat or bulletin boards), suggestions, or voting. Disney Online may use such information for editorial and feedback purposes (to the extent that is explained when guests provide the information). In the event Disney Online plans to post any such information on a site, guests are provided prior notification of such posting.

  • Policies for Individuals 16 and Under
    • No information should be submitted to or posted at Disney Online's Web sites by children 16 years of age or under without their parent's or guardian's consent.
    • Unless otherwise disclosed during collection, Disney Online does not provide any personally identifying information, regardless of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever.
    • All registrants receive e-mail confirming their registration. In addition, when a child registers, his/her parent or guardian receives an e-mail alerting them to the child's registration and providing instructions on how the parent could delete the child's registration, if so desired.
    • Although children are allowed to participate in contests, if a child wins, notification and prizes are sent to the parents or guardians identified in the initial Disney.com registration process.
    • No information collected from children 16 years of age or under is used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever, either inside or outside Disney.
    • Guests' e-mail addresses are never posted on Disney.com.
    • Disney Online encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate in the interactive activities offered on the sites.

  • Policies for Individuals Over 16 Years of Age:
    • With the permission of a guest who is over 16 years of age, information submitted at the time of registration or submission may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by The Walt Disney Company and may be shared with companies that have been pre-screened by The Walt Disney Company. If a guest objects to such use for any reason, he/she may stop that use -- either by e-mail request or by modifying his/her registration information online.


Use of Cookies

What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes while at the site. Cookies make Web-surfing easier by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences for you. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and you'll find cookies at most major Web sites.

Disney does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is the information shared with any third parties whatsoever. Disney does not use cookies to identify individuals or to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie.

Cookies help make Disney.com better, by showing how and when guests use the site. They do not, however, track who uses the site. Many content improvements and updates are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies.

Here are some other examples of how Disney.com uses cookies:

  • A cookie lets the computers remember that you've registered, which allows us to speed up your future activities at our sites.
  • Similarly, The Disney Store Online uses a temporary cookie to track which products you've selected while shopping. The cookie expires once you're done shopping. Letting it do the record-keeping saves you the trouble of entering information over and over again during a single visit. If you decline this cookie, you may have difficulty ordering your selections.

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. These cookies are sent from third-party computers and are subject to the above-stated policies.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies. However, it is possible that some areas of the site will not function properly if you do so.


Disney Online reserves the right to change this policy at any time by notifying guests of the existence of a new privacy policy. You can send e-mail to us with any further questions. When on the e-mail page, please select the "Other" category on the pull-down list of recipient options.
