Ripley Entertainment does not knowingly “sell” or “share” the information of individuals under the age of 16 without an affirmative authorization.

Additionally, with regard to all individuals, your personal information could be relevant during the investigation of an incident or complaint or when a Ripley Entertainment hotline report is filed.  In such instances, your personal information could be used  for internal investigative purposes or, if legally required to do so, personal information may be disclosed to and used by government entities.

From time to time, Ripley Entertainment will run contests or promotions offering our guests or other consumers special deals, coupons, discounts, chances to win contests, and other prizes.  These contests and promotions may involve third parties.  In order to participate in these contests or promotions, Ripley Entertainment may collect and process certain personal information about you including your first and last name, email address, postal address, date of birth, photos of yourself and family members, and other personal information required for the particular promotion.  We use this information for the purposes of running the contest or promotion and to help us better understand how we can design and market our product for you and others.  This information may also be shared with any relevant third-party promotional partners involved in the specific contest or promotion for which you choose to sign-up.  These third parties may use your information to contact you in order to provide you with more information about their company and with further opportunities to make additional purchases.  Please remember that Ripley Entertainment cannot be responsible for the information which you choose to disclose to third parties. If you wish to discontinue participating in a contest or promotion, you may contact us by email at [email protected].

Ripley Entertainment may provide aggregate (statistical) information about our customers, sales, online traffic patterns and related data to companies that may help us improve our business and services, but these statistics do not include any personal information.

How We Disclose Your Information

We engage other companies, including, without limitation, certain of our affiliates and subsidiaries (“Agents”), to perform certain services on our behalf.  We may disclose your personal information with these Agents to perform the services, and, in fulfillment of the services, these Agents may disclose Personal Data collected on our behalf with us. Pursuant to written agreements with these Agents, which agreements afford appropriate, and all required, protections of your personal information, we use these Agents to provide the following services on our behalf:

analytics providers, which may considered a “sale” or “sharing” under California privacy laws;

credit card processors if you make a purchase using a credit card;

All of our Agents are bound by contract to refrain from using your personal information for any purpose other than providing the applicable service to us. We are liable to you for our Agents’ appropriate processing of your personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable data privacy laws and regulations.

As described above, we use Agents to manage our advertising on other websites (See the Digital Advertising & Cookies section below). These Agents may use cookies or similar technologies in order to provide you with advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. Any personal information gathered by these Agents is not provided by the Agents to Ripley Entertainment.  It is only used by the applicable Agent pursuant to its own privacy policies.

In addition to disclosures described above, we may disclose or transfer personal information in connection with, or during negotiations of, corporate transactions which we may consider such as a financing, or an acquisition or sale of company assets, or any similar transaction. We may also disclose personal information to prevent damage or harm to us, our services or any person or property, if we believe that disclosure is required, or in response to a lawful request by public authorities.  Except as described in this Privacy Policy, we will not otherwise disclose personal information to any third parties unless you have been provided with an opportunity to opt in to such disclosure.

Except as described herein, Ripley Entertainment does not sell or share the personal information it collects to any unrelated third parties (who are not Agents) so that they may send you commercial promotions or unsolicited offers for unrelated products or services.  If you would like more information about our disclosure of your personal information to third parties, please contact us using one of the options described below.

How we safeguard your information

We follow applicable laws and requirements to protect your information. Ripley Entertainment uses physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards designed to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, alteration, theft, unauthorized access, or unauthorized disclosure.  We evaluate these safeguards on an ongoing basis to help minimize risks from new security threats as they become known. However, as is the case with all websites, we cannot guarantee 100% security for data collected through our public websites.

Transfer of your information

Our websites are based in the United States. When you provide information, you are providing such information to the United States. If we transfer your information outside of the United States, we will only transfer this information in compliance with applicable law. By submitting your personal information, you are agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. As such, please note that there may be different standards that apply to how your information may be used and protected than the standards in place in your country. Ripley Entertainment has put in place safeguards to ensure that your data is safeguarded and protected. This includes obtaining written contractual assurances from third parties assisting Ripley Entertainment with its websites or from third parties that are otherwise given access to your personal information and other data that require them to adopt standards that ensure an equivalent level of protection for your data as that adopted by Ripley Entertainment.

Digital Advertising & Cookies

Ripley Entertainment and service providers like Commission Junction, Google Adwords, Klear, and Meta, acting on our behalf use log files, cookies and similar technologies such as pixel tags on our websites.  A cookie is a small text file that is sent by a website, accepted by a web browser, and then placed on your hard drive to save certain information such as pixels. Tracking pixels allow us or our service providers to advertise more efficiently and effectively. We use the information gathered by cookies and similar technologies to improve our products and your experience on our websites by evaluating the use of our website, products and services, to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyze our traffic. We use cookies to aggregate information about how our website is being used, how effective our marketing campaigns are, and to help customize our websites for guests.

We also employ various different advertising or remarketing tools, technologies and services that serve you targeted advertisements to make your online experience more focused to your interests.  These tools, technologies and services collect and analyze certain types of information, including cookies, IP addresses, device and software identifiers, referring and exit URLs, onsite behavior and usage information, feature use metrics and statistics, usage and purchase history, MAC Address, mobile unique device ID, and other similar information.

Remarketing allows us to serve you with an advertisement when you visit other websites after having visited one of our websites.  This means that websites that are not controlled by us, including Google, may show our ads when you visit their websites. 

Cookies also help us analyze use of our site, and better aggregate useful information when site users provide feedback about our sites or attractions.  We also share the information as described in the Collection and Use of Personal Information section.

What Cookies do we use?

Necessary
Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Preferences
Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.

Statistics
Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. Our statistics cookies are used to generate aggregated, anonymous information about how you and other users use this website and its features. For instance, our statistics cookies collect information about which pages on this website you visit most often, if you open or read the communications we send, which advertisements you view or interact with on this website or other websites on which our advertisements appear, and if you receive any error messages.

Marketing
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers.

If you prefer that we not use cookies or other technology for any purpose other than the functionality of our sites, please feel free to set your browser preferences using the instructions below.

If you would like to opt out more broadly from interest-based advertising, such as the remarketing described above, or cross-context behavioral advertising, please use the tools available at the Digital Advertising Alliance WebChoices page at Optout.aboutads.info and the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page at http://optout.networkadvertising.org. Please note that you may continue to receive generic ads.

Except in the case of analytics cookies, remarketing and other features described above, our website does not track your use across multiple websites other than the affiliated websites included within this Privacy Policy. 

The following explains some of these marketing cookies and how they are used:

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behavior on our website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the site, how you got here and what you click on. This data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

AdWords
Google AdWords (conversion):
 we use Google AdWords cookies to customize the advertising and content you see for our website, limit the number of ads you see for our website, and measure the effectiveness of our campaign

Google AdWords (remarketing): we use Google AdWords remarketing cookies to collect data about your activities when you visit our websites, the website of entities who serve our ads (advertisers), or the website and online services where we display ads

Meta
We use cookies set by Meta for conversion tracking purposes, to measure the performance of our Facebook advertising campaigns. In addition to this, user behavior on our website may be used to build custom audiences for our own Facebook advertising purposes (for example, we may want to show you an ad on Facebook if you visited our site, looked at a few pages but didn't get in touch with us). 

Meta Pixel: We use Meta pixel tracking to measure social media campaign efficiency related to the Facebook platform.

 Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy

The Ripley Entertainment websites are not intended for use by children under the age of 13 or any children outside the United States. Ripley Entertainment does not market any of its products online for children under the age of 13, nor does Ripley Entertainment design its advertisements and other features to attract an audience of children under the age of 13.  Although certain pages within the website may reference “kids,” “children,” or “students,” Ripley Entertainment strictly intends for such portions of the website to be used only by adults (such as parents and teachers) or children residing in the United States of the age 13 or older.

Ripley Entertainment does not share information obtained from minors with other companies for their own use.  The third parties who may have access are those assisting us with, or cosponsoring, our order fulfillments, or registrations, such as for purposes of filling orders, camp or program registrations or processing payments.  We do not share a child’s information with blogs or other sites where the information would be publicly accessible.  We may collect limited information for a one-time contact.  In such a situation, we do not keep the information, nor disclose it or use it for any other purpose.

If Ripley Entertainment should inadvertently collect information from a child under the age of 13, or from a minor outside of the United States, we delete that information, except to the extent needed to seek verifiable parental consent from the minor’s parent or legal guardian.  When verifiable parental consent is obtained, we collect only that personal information from a minor that is relevant to the registration or purchase.  We protect the information with security safeguards and confidentiality measures that are commensurate with the sensitivity of the information.  Parents or legal guardians have the right to review their child’s personal information, delete it, or withdraw permission to allow further collection or use of that information.

 Links to other websites

Our websites may contain links to sites operated, controlled, and maintained by independent third parties.  We do not control the use of information you may provide to such third parties.  If you access other websites using the links provided in our websites, the operators of the third-party sites may collect information from you that will then be used by them in accordance with their own privacy policies, not ours.  Those policies may differ from ours.  It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with privacy policies on this website and other websites.
