This Privacy Policy was last updated and became effective on
January 28, 2009.
PRIVACY POLICY
This website is operated by: (1) Paramount Pictures Corporation on
its own behalf or in combination with Paramount Home Entertainment,
Inc., Paramount Vantage, a division of Paramount Pictures
Corporation, or DW Studios L.L.C.; (2) Paramount Home
Entertainment, Inc.; or (3) Paramount Vantage (collectively,
"Company" or "we", "us", or "our"), which are all part of the
entertainment operations of Viacom Inc. This Privacy Policy
applies to all of the websites operated by Company (unless a
different policy is provided on a particular site, in which case
such different policy shall control). This Privacy Policy explains
what information Company collects on this website, how we use your
information and the choices you have about the way your information
is collected and used. Please read this Privacy Policy
carefully. Your use of this website indicates that you have read
and accepted our privacy practices, as outlined in this Privacy
Policy. In addition, please review our Terms of Use that governs your use of this
website. This Privacy Policy, like the online medium itself,
is subject to change, so visitors are encouraged to review this
Privacy Policy from time to time. Company reserves the right to
alter, modify, update, add to, subtract from or otherwise change
this Privacy Policy at any time for any reason or no reason at all.
We will post any changes here, and any changes will become
effective immediately upon being posted unless we tell you
otherwise.
INFORMATION COMPANY COLLECTS
Personally Identifiable
Information:
Personally identifiable information ("PII") is information that
identifies you or could reasonably be used to identify you
personally (such as your real name, address, phone number, or
e-mail address). We may ask you to provide us with certain
PII, when you register with us, or at other times, such as if you
choose to sign-up for an e-mail newsletter, participate in a game,
contest, sweepstakes, or other promotional event. We may also ask
you to provide us with demographic information, information
regarding your interests, or similar information.
Providing us with information about yourself is voluntary, and you
can always choose not to provide certain information, but then you
may not be able to take advantage of or participate in many of the
website's features.
In addition, you may have the opportunity to provide us with the
PII, such as name or e-mail address, of a friend (or for a friend
to provide such information about you), such as if you chose to
e-mail a friend an article, electronic greeting card, trailer or
other special feature from our website. The e-mail addresses you
supply us for those activities will not be retained for other
purposes unless otherwise disclosed at the time you provide such
information. We encourage you to send such items only to recipients
who are your friends or family or persons with whom you have a
relationship so that it doesn't seem like we are "spamming"
them.
If you submit to Company a comment, photograph or other content to
be published by Company (either online or offline), we may publish
your name or other PII in connection with publishing the
content.
We may combine the information about you that we collect at this
website with information available to us from other sources. For
example, you may provide PII to us at other Company websites, or
our co-promoters or sponsors may provide us with information,
including PII, about users that choose to participate in a
promotional opportunity the co-promoter or sponsor is offering in
connection with Company.
Non-Personally Identifiable
Information:
When your computer contacts our web servers (for example, when you
visit this website, view an HTML e-mail, or download an interactive
desktop from the website), our web servers automatically collect
website usage information. Website usage information is
non-identifying information that describes how our visitors use and
navigate our website. It can include the number and frequency of
visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, browser
type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and
subsequent to visiting our website, and IP addresses (see below for
more information on IP addresses). We also may determine the
applicable technology available in order to serve you the most
appropriate version of a web page, e-mail or similar service.
Use of Cookies:
Like most websites, this website sometimes makes use of browser
"cookies." Cookies are pieces of information that a website either
transfers to your computer's hard drive or stores temporarily in
your computer's memory for record-keeping purposes. Company does
not save PII in cookies. We may use cookies for a number of
purposes. For example, we sometimes use cookies when we conduct
polls, contests or sweepstakes to limit multiple responses and
registrations. Or, we may use cookies to track usage patterns on
the website or to analyze web activity.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can
reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a
cookie is being sent. However, if you decline to accept Company
cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in
certain features of this website.
Use of Web Beacons:
Our web pages or e-mail messages may contain a small graphic image
called a web beacon, which is sometimes also called a "clear gif",
that allows us to monitor and collect certain limited information
about our users, such as the type of browser requesting the web
beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent
to and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very
small and invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic
image viewed as part of a web page or e-mail, including HTML based
content, can act as a web beacon. Company may use web beacons to
count visitors to our web pages or to monitor how our users
navigate our website, and we may include web beacons in e-mail
messages in order to count how many messages we sent were actually
opened or acted upon. Company uses web beacons to compile aggregate
statistics about our website and our marketing campaigns. Company
does not link the information collected by its web beacons to the
PII you provide when registering with the website.
Use of Javascript
Our websites employ Google Analytics which uses a first-party
cookie and JavaScript code that is stored on Google's server to
anonymously track how users interact with our websites, including
where they came from and what they did on our websites.
Company does not link the information collected by Google Analytics
to the PII you provide when registering with the website.
Use Of IP Addresses:
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or
network when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from
this website, our servers log your IP address. Company may use IP
address for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to
report aggregate information to our business partners or to audit
the use of the website. We may associate your IP address with
the PII you provide.
Children Under Thirteen (13) Years Of
Age:
Company does not knowingly collect any PII from children under
thirteen (13) years of age unless the collection complies with the
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). If you are
under thirteen (13) years of age, do not send any information about
yourself to Company. If Company discovers that a child under the
age of 13 has provided Company with PII, Company will use
commercially reasonable efforts to delete that child's PII from its
system.
COMPANY'S USE AND DISCLOSURE OF COLLECTED
INFORMATION
Use by Company:
Company may use your PII to provide you with requested
information, services or content, to contact you in connection with
a contest, sweepstakes or promotion, or for other purposes
disclosed when you provide the information. We may also contact you
from time to time on behalf of one of our affiliated companies or
an external business partner with information that may be of
interest to you.
We may also contact you regarding any problems or questions we
have relating to your use of our website, or, in our discretion,
notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or
other policy or terms that affect you and your use of our website.
Company may also use information about our users, including PII,
for internal purposes.
Sharing User Information and Disclosure to Third
Parties:
Unless otherwise disclosed in this Privacy Policy, Company does
not share your PII with third parties for their direct marketing
purposes unless you first affirmatively agree to the disclosure. If
you elect to receive communications from a third party, your
information will be subject to the third party's privacy policy and
not this privacy policy. Therefore, if you later decide that you do
not want that third party to use your information, you will need to
contact the third party directly. In addition, Company may
share your PII with third parties under the following
circumstances:
Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions.
If you choose to enter a sweepstakes, contest or other promotion,
your PII may be disclosed to third parties in connection with such
promotion, including without limitation for purposes of posting
your entry with attribution or otherwise as permitted in the
official rules for the promotion in question, fulfilling your prize
or including your name on a winners list. Also, by entering a
sweepstakes, contest or other promotion, we may require you to
consent to the use of your PII or other information, such as name,
voice or likeness, in advertising, promotional and marketing
materials. In addition, we may offer certain promotional content,
such as a sweepstakes, sponsored by or co-branded with a third
party, who may obtain the PII that you submit, but only where
specifically stated on the registration page or official rules for
such promotion.
Third parties providing services on our behalf.
Company may employ other companies and individuals to perform
functions on its behalf. Examples include, without limitation,
hosting this website, sending communications on our behalf,
analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, creating, hosting,
administering and/or otherwise running contests/sweepstakes/games,
serving ads and providing customer service. These third parties may
have access to this website's user information, including PII, to
the extent it is needed to perform their duties and
functions.
Company's Security.
Company may disclose information about its users, including PII,
when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental
authorities conducting an investigation, or to verify or enforce
compliance with the policies governing our website and applicable
laws. Company may also disclose such user information whenever we
believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability or to
protect or enforce the rights, interests, or safety of the website,
our users or others.
Corporate change.
Company reserves the right to disclose, share and/or otherwise
transfer user information, including without limitation PII, in
connection with a corporate merger, acquisition, consolidation, the
sale of substantially all of its assets, or other fundamental
corporate change, whatever form it may take.
Transfer of Site.
Without in any way limiting the rights Company has reserved above
in the event of a "Corporate Change", Company shall be entitled to
transfer information it collects, including without limitation PII,
to any third party that assumes, acquires or is otherwise
authorized to take control over this website, provided such third
party has agreed to use your PII in accordance with protections
that in all material respects are the same as or more protective
than those set out in this Privacy Policy.
Aggregate information.
Company may disclose non-identifying, aggregated user statistics
to third parties for a variety of purposes, including describing
Company's services to prospective partners and other third
parties
USER FORUMS
Please review our restrictions on use and guidelines for user
forums in our Terms of Use. In addition, please note
that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may
disclose publicly in user forums (such as chat rooms, message
boards, or similar web pages). You should keep in mind that
whenever you publicly disclose information about yourself online,
that information could be collected and used by people that you do
not know. In addition, certain message boards (and similar user
forums) may display IP addresses and possibly PII along with the
message poster's name and message. Company bears no responsibility
for any action or policies of any third parties who collect any
information users may disclose in user forums or other public
areas, if any, of this website.
SECURITY
Company strives to ensure the security of your PII on our systems,
including limiting access to the PII contained on our servers.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. Company cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to Company and you do so
at your own risk.
LINKS
Please be aware that when you are navigating our website or
viewing an e-mail or other content provided by Company, you may
have the opportunity to click on links that take you outside
Company's service to other websites or online content that are
beyond Company's control. For example, you may encounter links to
fan sites, webmaster program participant sites, or links from
sponsors or partners, which may include Company's logo as part of a
co-branding arrangement. If you "click" on the link to such a third
party, the "click" takes you to a third party's website or online
content. Company has no control over and is not responsible
for the content of any third party sites to which you link.. In
addition, these other websites have their own information
collection and privacy protection practices that may differ from
Company's, and we encourage you to review the privacy practices of
any other website you visit.
