What do you mean when you collect personal information?
Personally identifiable information is information that can personally identify you, such as your full name (first and last name), your e-mail address and your postal address. Information that may be personal in nature, but cannot identify who you are, is not personally identifiable information. For example, your age, your first name and even what you use to name your ThingamaPet are all personal information, but are not personally identifiable information because they cannot be used to identify you.
What type of personal information does ThingamaPets collect?
We collect information in a variety of ways on the site. We will collect no more personally identifiable information from you than is reasonably necessary for you to be an active member in the features we offer on Thingamapets.
Registration: Registration is optional to use the basic functions on your ThingamaPet. We do ask you to register for your online ThingamaPets account for certain features like song storage and free download coupons. When you register we ask for only your first name, birthday and the state/province where you live. None of this is personally identifiable information, because it cannot be used to contact or identify you offline. During the registration process, you are also asked to create a screen name and password. You should not use any personally identifiable information as your username, as your screen name may be visible to others on the site.
Surveys and Feedback: We may collect aggregate information in connection with surveys or other online activities that allow you to give us your feedback. We do not collect any personally identifiable information in connection with surveys or feedback requests, nor is the information you provide connected to any personally identifiable information we may have about you.

For instance, we collect IP addresses and use technology to track traffic patterns on the site.
