What
types of information are Miramax sites collecting, and
how are the sites collecting it? |
| The
majority of great products and services on our sites are
offered without our collecting any personally identifiable
information from you. You can surf Miramax Web sites and
view much of our terrific content anonymously.
Information
You Provide
There are a few activities on our sites where the collection
of personally identifiable information is necessary.
Those activities include things like entering a contest
or sweepstakes, signing up for a free e-mail account,
making a purchase, or contacting us. When personally
identifiable information is collected, you will know
because you will have to fill out a form. For most activities,
we collect only your name, e-mail address, birth date,
gender, and zip code. When you make a purchase, we also
collect your street and billing addresses, your phone
number, and credit card information. Depending on what
you purchase, we may also need to collect other personal
information, like your clothing size.
Information
Collected from You with Technology
Miramax sites collect some information about you using
technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you
that it is being collected. For instance, when you come
to our site your IP address is collected so that we
know where to send information you are requesting. An
IP address is often associated with the place from which
you enter the Internet like your ISP (Internet Service
Provider), your company, or your university. This information
is not personally identifiable. Miramax sites use information
collected through technology to make our sites more
interesting and useful to you. This includes helping
advertisers on our site design advertisements our Guests
might like. We normally don't combine this type of information
with personally identifiable information. However, we
will combine this information with personally identifiable
information to identify a visitor in order to enforce
compliance with our house rules or terms of service
or to protect our service, site, Guests, or others.
What Are
Cookies, and How Does Miramax Use Them?
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site sends
to your computer while you are viewing the Web site.
These pieces of information allow the Web site to remember
important information that will make your use of that
site more useful. Miramax and other Internet companies
use cookies for a variety of purposes.
You can choose
to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is
being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies.
You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator
or Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little
different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn
the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn
cookies off, you won't have access to many Miramax features
that make your Web experience more efficient -- like
the features mentioned above -- and some of our services
will not function properly.

How
does Miramax use the personally identifiable information
that has been collected? |
| Miramax
uses personally identifiable information in a limited
number of ways. We use the information to complete transactions.
For instance, if you contact us for help we will use the
information to contact you. We use information collected
to notify you if you've won a game or contest. Information
we collect is used to send you e-mail updates and newsletters
about our sites. We also use the information you provide
to send you Miramax e-mail promotions and special offers
from our third-party sponsors.

Does
Miramax share information with companies or other organizations
that are not part of the Miramax family of sites? |
|
One of the most valuable assets of our business is you.
We aren't in the business of selling information about
our Guests. However, if there is a value for our Guests,
we will share your information or send you messages on
behalf of another company as described below. We will
also share information for security reasons.
Companies
That Are "Standing in the Shoes" of Miramax
Sometimes we hire companies to help us deliver products
or services, like a shipping company that delivers a
package. In those instances, we need to share your information
with them. These companies are basically "standing in
the shoes" of Miramax, and they are allowed to use the
information only to deliver the product or service.
Companies
Offering Promotions, Products, or Services
On occasion, we offer promotions -- like sweepstakes
or free subscriptions -- in conjunction with a sponsor.
We will share your information with the sponsors if
they need it to send you a product, such as a magazine
subscription. We may share your information with those
sponsors so that they can send you other special promotions
they offer, but only if you give us your permission
to do so, and we will share it only with that specific
sponsor. In addition, Miramax occasionally sends e-mail
promotions out to our Guests on behalf of third-party
sponsors. In this instance, we don't share your name
with the third party -- we do the mailing for them.
Again, we only send these promotions to you if you've
given your permission.
Content Partners
On some of our sites, we provide content that is created
by a third-party partner Web site. In some instances
the third-party sites will collect information in order
to facilitate the transaction or to make the use of
their content more productive and efficient. In these
circumstances the information collected is shared between
Miramax and our third-party sponsors.
Third-Party
Advertisers and Network Advertisers
To help increase privacy protections for our Guests,
Miramax allows advertising on our sites from only those
companies that have their own privacy policy. Once you've
clicked on an advertisement and have left Miramax sites,
our privacy policy no longer applies. You must read
the privacy policy of the advertiser to see how your
personal information will be handled on their site.
In addition,
many business advertisements are managed and placed
on our site by third-party companies. These companies
are called "network advertisers." Network advertisers
collect non-personally identifiable information when
you click on or scan one of their banner advertisements.
The information is collected using technology, so you
may not realize it's being collected. The network advertisers
collect this information so that they can show you ads
that are more relevant and interesting to you. If you
would like to read more about network advertisers or
do not want network advertisers to collect this non-personally
identifiable information about you, click
here.
Purchase
or Sale of Businesses
Online business is still in a very early stage and is
changing and evolving rapidly. As Miramax continually
looks for ways to improve our business, we may buy or
sell a company. If we buy or sell a business, the names
collected will likely be transferred as a part of the
sale. Information about registrants will be used in
the aggregate. However, if we buy a business, we will
honor the requests that customers made of that business
regarding e-mail communications. In the event that we
sell a business, we will do everything in our power
to ensure that the e-mail communications requests you
made of us are honored.
Organizations
That Help Protect the Security and Safety of our Guests
and our Sites
We will give
out personal information as required by law, for example,
to comply with a court order or subpoena; to enforce
our Terms of Service, or site or game rules; or to protect
the safety and security of Guests and our sites.

What
choices do I have about Miramax collecting, using, and
sharing my information? |
| It
is possible for you to use much of our site without giving
us any personally identifiable information. When you do
register with us or give us personally identifiable information,
you will have an opportunity -- at the time we collect
your information -- to limit e-mail communications from
Miramax and from our third-party partners. You can request
at any time that Miramax not send future e-mail to you
by unsubscribing from the communication. Also, as mentioned
above, there are ways to limit the information collected
through technology -- though some of our features won't
work if you decide to do this.

What
type of security does Miramax provide? |
| The
importance of security for all personally identifiable
information associated with our Guests is of utmost concern
to us. Miramax takes technical, contractual, administrative,
and physical security steps to protect all visitors' information.
When you provide credit card information, we use secure
socket layer (SSL) encryption to protect it. There are
some things that you can do to help protect the security
of your information as well. For instance, never give
out your password, since this is what is used to access
all of your account information. Also remember to sign
out of your account and close your browser window when
you finish surfing the Web, so that other people using
the same computer won't have access to your information.

gave us during registration at our member services center.
Simply click on this
link and then log-in with your e-mail address and
password. There are instructions on the start page to
help you recover your password if you've forgotten it.
