Robot Village Corporation respects the personally identifying information provided by our customers. Because we gather certain types of information when our customers communicate with us, we believe you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the information we capture through our websites and the use of that information. This Privacy Policy discloses the type of information we capture about our customers, how we use it to communicate with our customers and how you can request to no longer receive communications from Robot Village Corporation. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect through our websites.

Use of Customer Information

Two primary types of information are gathered about our customers:

Financial Information is payment information used for or gathered during the buying/registration process and includes, but is not limited to, credit card numbers, financial institutions and expiration dates. This information is not used for any purpose other than that for which it is being provided to us, and is used for processing the transaction or to facilitate future transactions.

Professional/Personal Information includes, but is not limited to, name, address, company name, company address, phone number, fax number and email address, as well as other information such as general demographic information and questions answered on survey or registration forms. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personally Identifying Information” means name, address, phone number, fax number and email address. Data captured during a customer’s visit to a Robot Village Corporation store website, or to the physical store may also be stored in our customer database. Professional/personal information may be used to fulfill requested transactions (such as purchases or requests for newsletters or other information), maintain records and for marketing purposes and may be shared with other organizations or Robot Village Corporation customers for the purpose of facilitating business relationships that Robot Village Corporation believes may be of interest to our users.

You are strongly encouraged to read the privacy policy of any third party site before providing any information on such site.

Email Abuse

It has come to our attention that sometimes email messages can be distributed, which have been marked as having been sent from Robot Village, or members of Robot Village (e.g. from "manager@robotvillage.com," "information@robotvillage.com," etc.). These messages may not have not been sent by our organization, but are sent by other individuals in an illegal attempt to hide their identity by "spoofing" our organization's email addresses and corporate identity (see below for details).

Email misuse is a significant and growing problem, and we all suffer from its effects. We at Information Strategies hope to engage our customers and partners in a fight against the criminal misuse of email. What can we do? We hope that you'll find the following information helpful.

Prosecution of Email Abuse

The misuse of Internet email services is illegal and is punishable under federal and local laws, including the Lanham Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Economic Espionage Act, among others.

The courts have already recognized that such misuse causes economic harm and can adversely affect a company's reputation; judges have awarded affected companies sums in excess of the assessed damages and also the costs incurred during litigation.

What is "misuse"? The standards have been clearly laid down by the courts, and there are established legal precedents. In interstate commerce, designating goods and services in a way that is likely to cause confusion and to deceive consumers with regard to the origin, sponsorship, or approval of a company's goods or services is clearly illegal and is a form of fraud.

Robot Village Corporation will not hesitate to bring legal action against any individual or corporation when there are grounds to believe that such individuals/companies are or have been deliberately and intentionally "spoofing," misrepresenting, impersonating, or in any way misappropriating any of Robot Village Corporation's Internet domain names or other corporate identifications. Both criminal and civil redress will be sought; all suspected criminal misuse will be reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Trade Commission.

Klez Virus

Much of the malicious email that now permeates the Internet is generated by the "Klez" virus. This takes addresses from an email client on an infected computer and sends infected mail to everyone in that client's e-address book. The "from" address is randomly set to one of these addresses to deceive recipients that they know the sender's identity and that the message may therefore be safely opened. To avoid propagating this pernicious virus and to protect your own system, virus-protection software is absolutely essential.

Contact Us

Robot Village Corporation encourages all who receive email that appears to be impersonating a Robot Village entity as its sender and contains unsolicited "spam" or malicious attachments, to notify the company immediately by contacting information@robotvillage.com. Be sure to identify yourself and to include the message and the header information.
