The Types of Information We Collect, and How We Use It

Active Collection.

HFHG.com does not collect any personal information from children on our website. We allow users to create a H4HG.com user name for purposes of registering on the website. This user name is constrained to five letters and three numbers. Please carefully follow the registration page’s instructions on creating a user name so that it does not contain any personally identifiable information such as last name, address, school name, email address or telephone number. If you are unsure about this process, please discuss with your parent. In addition, a product code (found packaged with Hearts For Hearts Girls dolls and other products) is required to register a child on our Website. The product code required for registration does not contain any personal information and is connected only to the Hearts For Hearts Girls product’s particular SKU number.

H4HG.com registration offers users access to games and activities and gives users the ability to construct a myHeart web page.
