PRIVACY POLICY
USA Films understands your concerns about privacy. We are committed to
protecting the integrity and security of your personal information. To that
end, we have created this Privacy Policy to provide you with notice of what
information we collect on this Web site ("Site") and how such information may
be used. This Privacy Policy is subject to the Terms and Conditions ("Terms")
posted on this Site. Please review this Privacy Policy and the Terms from time
to time, as they are subject to change without notice.
YOUR INFORMATION AND HOW OUR SITES MAKE USE OF IT
Our Site may collect up to two kinds of information: personal (such as your
name and e-mail address) and aggregate information (such as the number of users
who log on to the Site on a daily basis). As a general policy, no personally
identifiable information is automatically collected from your visit to our
Site. However, if you choose to register on the Site, enroll in a promotion,
purchase any products or participate in any sweepstakes or interactive
activities offered on the Site, you may be asked to provide us with some
specific information about yourself. Such information may include contact
information (such as your name and e-mail address), demographic information
(such as your age and gender), and/or financial information (such as your
credit card number). The personal information you submit will be used to carry
out your requests, respond to your inquiries and to notify you if you win one
of our sweepstakes. Except for your financial information (i.e. your credit
card information), your personal information may also be used by us or shared
with USA Networks, Inc., and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, joint
venturers, sponsors and partners and other parties for whom we operate or
design sites, as well as other third parties with whom we have agreed to share
information (collectively, the "Affiliated Third Parties") to provide you with
additional products and/or services. You may always direct us (either by
opting-out at the point where we ask for your personal information or by
contacting us at one of the addresses listed below) not to share your personal
information with Affiliated Third Parties or not to use your personal
information to provide you with additional products and services. We will not
share your personal information with entities that are not Affiliated Third
Parties unless you give us express permission to do so (by opting-in at the
point where we ask for your personal information or by notifying us at one of
the addresses listed below).
From time to time, we may collect general statistical or aggregate information.
Such information can include the type of browsers being used (e.g. Netscape,
Internet Explorer), the operating system you are using (e.g. Windows '95, Mac
OS), and the number of users that visit a specific page on the Site and the
character and duration of such visits. This information may be used to help
analyze site traffic and improve our services. We may also share aggregate
information with Affiliated Third Parties or use it to describe the Site's
services to potential advertisers or other third parties or in response to a
government request. At no point, however, will the aggregated information
personally identify you.
All information collected on this Site may be combined with other information
collected by Affiliated Third Parties.
We reserve the right to disclose any personal or aggregate information if
required to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary in
order to (a) conform with the requirements of the law or to comply with legal
process served on USA Films; (b) to protect or defend the legal rights or
property of USA Films, the Site, or its users; or (c) in an emergency to
protect the health and safety of the Site's users or the general public.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files from a web site that are stored on your hard
drive. Cookies make using our Site more convenient by saving your passwords
and preferences for you. We may utilize session and/or permanent cookies. A
session cookie is a temporary cookie that is sent to your browser when you log
onto the Site and deleted from your browser once you exit your browser or after
some period of inactivity in your browser. We may transmit permanent cookies
to your hard drive for use in identification and customization of our services.
Information from cookies may be analyzed and matched with the data provided by
you. We may provide our analysis and certain non-personally identifiable
information to prospective partners, advertisers (who may use this information
to provide advertisements tailored to your interests) and other third parties,
but we will not disclose any personal information, except as provided in this
Privacy Policy. If you would like the option of deciding whether or not to
accept a cookie, you can set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being
sent to your hard drive. You may also delete a cookie manually from your hard
drive. Please note, however, that some parts of this Site will not function
properly or will be considerably slower if you refuse to accept a cookie or
choose to disable your cookies setting. For example, without cookies, you will
not be able to set personalized preferences or you may encounter difficulties
completing shopping transactions, entering sweepstakes or contests or playing
games.
Promotions
We may, from time to time, participate with other businesses to provide special
promotions for our users. If any organizers, businesses or co-sponsors request
that you disclose certain information in order to register for or participate
in such promotions, you can choose not to register or not to participate.
Please note that we may share your personal information with such organizers,
businesses or co-sponsors.
Chat Areas/Bulletin Boards
In the event that we create chat areas or bulletin boards in connection with
this Site, and if you voluntarily disclose personal information on such
bulletin boards or in such chat areas, that information can also be collected
and used by others and may result in unsolicited messages from other people.
Links
Our Site may contain links to other sites that are not maintained by USA Films.
We cannot guarantee the security of your personal information on those sites.
Please review their privacy policy statement before submitting any personal
information to such sites.
Children's Privacy Policy
Our Site does not knowingly market or collect information from children under
13. If you are under 13, please do not provide any personal information to us.
Security Procedures
Protecting the security of all personally identifiable information associated
with our users is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing
secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Once we
receive your transmission, we will take reasonable precautions to endure its
security on our systems. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet
can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while USA Films strives to
protect its users' personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or
warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online
and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure
of your personal information.
Transfer of Assets
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If
another entity acquires us or all or substantially all of our assets,
personally identifying information, aggregated information, and any other
information that we have collected from you would be transferred to such entity
as part of our business assets. Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganization
proceeding is brought by or against us, all such information may be considered
one of our assets and may be sold or transferred to third parties.
Site Operator
This site is operated by our parent company, USA Networks, Inc.
