Sandy's Realm wants to assure you that we do
not sell, trade or otherwise share any information gathered on any part of the
Sandy's Realm website, it's email lists or newsletters to any other company or
party without your prior consent. The only exception to this would be if
the Sandy's Realm company was sold. If that happened we would pass along
our subscribers information and entrants information to the new owners.
As the Sandy's Realm company grows and
changes we may introduce or implement new products and services which may
change the way in which we collect data. Anytime this affects our
privacy policy this policy will be updated to reflect those changes. At
no time will we begin to sell your personal information to other parties with
the exception of the sale of the company (Sandy's Realm) as a whole in which
this information would be passed along to the new owners.

users at several different points on our website.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any
personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user
closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by
setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects
the cookie, they may still use our site. Cookies can also enable us to
track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our
site. Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for
example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over
these cookies.

advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify
any individual person. We provide information such as a general percentage of

specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share
names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to

personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these

other purposes. We do not subscribe you to other newsletters except
those requested. We, on rare occasion, may make special announcements to
the newsletter subscribers. We NEVER sell, trade, or give away our

subscriber database would be sold to the new owner as well.
Surveys & Contests

age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and
award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring
or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our
site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email address. Sandy's
Realm would only send a one-time email inviting them to visit the site.
Sandy's Realm does not store that information beyond the initial email.
Your friend's information will not be used for any other purpose and will only
be used the one time unless you enter that information again.
Security
This website takes precaution to protect our users’ information both online
and off. All of our users’ information is restricted. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
prize fulfillment officer or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well
as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded
about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
