| The
Mediadrome respects your right to the privacy of the personal information
you provide us on our Web sites. To that end, unless you designate
otherwise or we state otherwise in this policy or at the time information
is collected, any personal information you provide to The Mediadrome
will be known only to you and The Mediadrome. The following policy
is intended to explain how your personal information will be treated
as you make use of our sites and their features. Personal information
includes your name, street and e-mail addresses, billing information,
click-through activity and any other personal information you may
provide here. This policy may change from time to time, so please
check back periodically.
Traffic
Data
Each time
a visitor comes to a The Mediadrome Web site, our servers -- like
most on the Web -- collect some basic technical information, including,
for example, the visitor's domain name (e.g., whether the user is
logged on from aol.com or paramount.com), referral data (e.g., we
record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking
through to a The Mediadrome Web site) and browser and platform type
(e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).
We also count,
track and aggregate the visitor's activity into our analysis of
general traffic flows at our sites (e.g. tracking where traffic
comes from, how traffic flows within the The Mediadrome sites, etc.).
To these ends, we may merge information about visitors and visits
into group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis
with our advertisers; but we will not disclose your individual identity
or personally identifiable data without your permission. When we
do present aggregated information to outside companies, no one will
be able to identify you or contact you.
Use
of The Mediadrome Cookies
A cookie is
a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server
and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies in a limited
way to help deliver advertisements, to identify unique browsers
that visit us and to track usage throughout our site.
Other companies
which place advertising on our site also have the ability to assign
their cookies to you in a process that The Mediadrome does not control.
However, cookies cannot be used to identify individuals, only machines,
so these advertisers will not know who you are.
Letters
to the Editor
The Mediadrome
asks senders of letters to the editor to include a phone number
so we can make an effort to verify their identity should we need
to in connection with publication of a letter. We do not retain
this information for any other purpose, nor do we sell, trade or
otherwise disclose it to third parties.
Promotion
From time
to time, The Mediadrome may sponsor sweepstakes, contests or other
events which require the collection, processing and storage of individual
contact and demographic information (e.g., your age and state of
residence) to be used for the event. The Mediadrome may also co-sponsor
these events along with other companies, in which case the user's
individual contact and demographic information is likely to be shared
with other participating sponsors, who may use this information
as they wish. A registrant's personal contact and demographic information
will not be released to any third-party organization other than
named sponsors without the user's consent, and The Mediadrome will
request that such named sponsors uphold the privacy of the registrants'
information by not distributing or sharing such information with
any other businesses or organizations.
Surveys
The Mediadrome
will from time to time conduct voluntary surveys of visitors to
the site to obtain aggregate demographic information about them.
Such information may be compiled and shared in the aggregate with
advertisers and other third parties, but no personal details will
be traceable or associated with specific individuals.
Our
Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting
the privacy of the very young is important to us. For that reason,
we do not collect or maintain information at our Web sites from
those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Web site
is structured to attract anyone under 13.
Other
Disclosure of Personal Information
The Mediadrome
will not otherwise use or disclose your personal information without
your consent except (i) as described in this privacy policy, or
(ii) as required by law, court order or as requested by other government
or law enforcement authority. This policy does not protect information
you post to any on-line bulletin board, chat room, newsgroup or
other public forum within our Web sites.
Other
Sites
The Mediadrome
contains many links to other sites on the Web. We cannot control
and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of
such other Web sites.
Who
can I ask if I have any additional questions?
If you have
any further questions or concerns about The Mediadrome's privacy
policies and use of personal information, please send them to info@themediadrome.com.
