Dear LEGOLAND Fans,
We want you to have fun at LEGOLAND and at our website! To make sure your online visit is fun and safe, we don't "play around" with any of the important steps we take to protect your privacy. At the LEGOLAND, children's safety and fun as well as parents' trust in our name is serious business!
Below, you will find information about the LEGOLAND Online Privacy Policy. Our privacy policy will tell you how and when we collect information through our Web site and how this information will be used. To learn specifically about our online information practices concerning children who are younger than 13 years of age, please scroll down to the section entitled "Children Under the Age of 13".
LEGOLAND encourages families to visit LEGOLAND.com together as a shared activity.
We take online privacy and security concerns seriously. At the same time, we are continually working to make your personal experience when visiting or using our site as exciting and pleasant as possible. To help us accomplish that goal, we will need to collect and use some information from you when you use our site.
LEGOLAND.com may collect information from you - personal as well as non-personal - for internal use within the LEGOLAND business. Any information collected may be shared within relevant LEGOLAND departments.
We may disclose personal information collected from you as required by law, for example in response to a court order or subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a specific request from a law enforcement agency.
Except as set out above, we will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose any personal information to any company or person outside LEGOLAND, without obtaining appropriate permission prior to such disclosure. We may collect information about you through active as well as passive means.
We may collect personal information directly from you through our sites when: 1) you sign up to receive newsletters and other information; 2) in some instances, when you enter contests and participate in various activities featured on LEGOLAND.com; and 3) when you purchase products online through our LEGOLAND Online Shop. We also use passive means to collect some information, such as tracking what pages you go to on the site. This information is then provided to our consumer data department in order for them to determine how to make your experience at our sites more enjoyable.
We will not use personal information we collect from you for purposes other than those for which the information was collected, without asking for appropriate permission prior to such use.
We may use your name and address information to send you newsletters and other product and service information that we believe you may find of interest if, permitted by law. You may opt out of receiving such catalogs and other product and service information (including, but not limited to, marketing research and/or being contacted by a researcher) at any time by sending an e-mail to LLNY.Experience@LEGOLAND.com. Upon request, you have the right to review any personal information we may have concerning you or your children.
Children Under the Age of 13
When a child under the age of 13 contacts LEGOLAND online, for example to participate in a contest or to ask a question we will collect that child's email address and the e-mail address of the child's parent or guardian. We will use the child's e-mail address only for the purpose for which it was collected and we will use the e-mail address of the parents or guardians only to provide notification about the child's contact with us and to provide notification of the types and uses of information collected as required under the law. We will also provide information as to how the parent or guardian of the child can review and request deletion of the child's personal information and how to prevent further collection and use of personal information concerning the child.
As a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 from whom we have collected personal information, you have the right to review and have deleted such personal information and to refuse to permit further collection or use of such information. To do so, you should contact us at LLNY.Experience@LEGOLAND.com. Parents and guardians who wish to review personal information concerning their children will be required to specify the usernames and passwords of the children concerned and to provide their own e-mail address for verification and contact purposes.
No personal information collected from children under 13 will be sold, rented or otherwise disclosed to any company outside LEGOLAND, except for disclosure to companies acting as our agents to help us provide services requested by the child, or pursuant to court order, subpoena or a specific request from a law enforcement agency.
We cannot and will not establish conditions that will require or encourage children to disclose personal information over and above what is reasonably necessary to participate in any activity features on our web sites.
Children under 13 years of age are allowed to participate in contests. However, if such a child wins, notification will be sent to the parent or guardian's e-mail address (provided by the child when he/she enters the contest). Also, we will not ask the child for any personal information beyond e-mail addresses without obtaining prior parental consent. Any personal information obtained from children and parents during contests will be kept until the contest ends and prizes are delivered and then it will be deleted.
If any activity featured on LEGOLAND.com will allow children under the age of 13 to reveal personal information publicly (for example, via un-moderated chat rooms or bulletin boards), we will obtain parental consent before allowing the child to participate. Currently, all such activities are moderated, monitored and screened.
Purchasing from LEGOLAND Online Shop
When you make a purchase from a LEGOLAND Online Shop, we will need to obtain personal information from you. We will need your real name and address (billing as well as shipping address) along with your credit card information or other payment method, in order to complete your transaction and ship your products.
If you feel uncomfortable submitting your credit card information over the Internet, you may submit your name, address and order information through the LEGOLAND Online Shop and submit credit card information by phone.
LEGO Electronic Postcards and Other Messages to Your Friends and Family
You can send electronic post cards from various pages on the site. Any e-mail addresses collected during this type of activity are stored and are subject to relevant marketing information until such time that you may choose to opt out.

We also add the cookie in order to remember your browser settings, such as the type of browser you use and what plug-ins you have installed. This keeps us from bothering you every time you enter the site in order to make sure that you have the necessary equipment to play a game or download information from our sites. It also allows us to know how many people are using certain types of software, so that we can adjust our site to provide the best browsing experience for every visitor. Basically, when we add a cookie, we are collecting information to help us make sure that our products and our communications to our guests are responsive to their interests. We hope to be able to continue to make the LEGOLAND World Wide Web sites interesting and entertaining for users of all ages and to ensure that we continue to make the kind of products that children love and parents trust.
We also use cookies and other similar technologies to help us manage our advertising [on the LEGOLAND website and] on third-party sites and online services and to measure and improve our ads and marketing efforts. We may work with third-party ad companies, ad exchanges, channel partners, measurement services and ad networks—for example, Facebook and Google.
These third parties may use cookies, web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about your use of the LEGOLAND website and your activities across other websites and online services, which they may associate with cookies and persistent identifiers, in order to provide you with more relevant advertising or other content on other websites or services, and to measure the performance of such advertising.

We may also work with third party ad networks and marketing platforms that enable us and other participants to target ads to Custom Audiences submitted by us and others. As noted above, you may also control how Facebook and other third parties display certain ads to you, as explained further in their respective privacy policies.
More Info and Choices. You can also obtain more information about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of interest-based ads by many third-party ad networks at: www.aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance). Opting out of participating ad networks does not opt you out of being served advertising. You may continue to receive generic or “contextual” ads on websites you visit. You may also continue to receive targeted ads on other websites, from companies that do not participate in the above programs. Please note, that many opt-out mechanisms are cookie based; so, if you delete cookies, block cookies or use another device, your opt-out will no longer be effective.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small data files that your browser may place on your computer when you visit different web sites to mark that you have been there.
How do I know when a cookie has been added?
Check your settings... many browsers allow you to choose your preference. If you have set your browser setting to refuse cookies, then we cannot put a cookie on your computer.
What if I don't accept the cookie?
You can still participate in a few of our online activities. However, if a LEGOLAND Cookie is not present, it will limit our ability to customize our site for you, deliver a better online experience and improve the features of our site. Some cookies save us from having to check for compatibility of your system with various parts of the site every time you visit, making the site faster and easier for you to use. When you play a game, a cookie helps us to keep track of where you are in the site so that you can come back to the same place in a game that you are playing or you don't lose your basket, etc. and makes sure that only you have access to that information. If you don't accept our cookies, you won't be able to save some games, add items to your wish list or shopping cart and the site will be a little slower as we check your browser's compatibility with our site as you click through.
