("Tribute" or "we" or "us"). This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected on our Web Site, and does not cover any information collected offline by Tribute (unless specifically stated), or its affiliated companies. Your access to and continued use of this Web Site constitutes your acceptance of all of the provisions contained in this Privacy Policy and your consent to any action we take with respect to your information that is in compliance with this Privacy Policy. If you have not already done so, please take some time to familiarize yourself with these provisions. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time and you are responsible for periodically reviewing the most current version on this Web Site. The date of the version of these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy is stated at the top of the page. If the Privacy Policy is revised and you continue to access and use this Web Site, you will be deemed to have agreed to the most current Privacy Policy. At Tribute, your privacy is important to us. We provide this notice to explain our information collection practices and the choices you have about the way your information is collected, used and disclosed. By accessing and using this Web Site, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of information by us pursuant to the provisions of this Privacy Policy. What Personal Information About You Does Tribute Collect?: Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Personal Information is information that can be traced back to an individual to establish identity. Examples of PII include your name, home address, telephone number, email address and Social Security number. If other pieces of information are linked to PII, they also become PII. For example, if you use a nickname to chat online and give out your real name while chatting, your nickname becomes PII when linked with other PII. Generally, you may browse our Web Site without providing any PII. However, we may ask you to provide PII, such as when you register for our MOVIE MAIL, enter a sweepstakes, complete a survey or participate in polls. Your PII will not be used for any purpose other than to provide you with the requested services. If you do not wish to receive MOVIE MAIL once you have subscribed, you may click the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the MOVIE MAIL newsletter. If you want us to stop sending you all other e-mails and information, or you wish us to delete your personal information from our database, please notify us at info@showtimes.com. Other Information Tribute Collects: Automatic Data Collection (Anonymous Browsing): As with most Internet sites, the Web Site collects a variety of technical data, including your IP address (a unique number that identifies your access account on the Internet), domain, and Web browser information. We do not log the specific identity of visitors. Technical data is used only to create broad demographic summaries of Web Site usage and Web Site activity (such as average time spent and pages viewed) to assist us in providing useful content that is tailored to be of most value to our users. For example, we use the information to: give the developers of the Web Site information that is useful in determining appropriate new features, content, and services; and to provide partners and clients with aggregate - not individual - information about our user base. Information about individual users is not shared with any third party without consent. Cookies: Our Web Site uses "cookies". This technology allows users to move more quickly through our site. Cookies are small text files that a Web Site can use to recognize repeat users and facilitate the user′s ongoing access to and use of the site. Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. We do not record any PII in cookies or store any information about your movements on the Internet outside of our Tribute Web Sites. You can choose to decline cookies (e.g., by setting your browser to reject cookies), but if you do, some parts of our Web Site may not operate properly. Web logs are maintained by this Web Site. How Tribute Uses and Discloses Your Personal Information: We use the PII you provide about yourself to supply the service you have requested, to contact you about our programs, products, features or services or for other purposes disclosed at the time of collection. For instance, we may send you an e-mail newsletter or send you information about an upcoming contest or movie. If you do not wish to receive this information, please notify us at showtimes.com and we will remove you from our database. Tribute will not share your PII with third parties in ways unrelated to those described below without providing you with an opportunity to opt out of such use, or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. We may share your PII with outside parties who sponsor sweepstakes or other promotions on our Web Site. However, we will not share your PII with these parties unless you specifically agree to a governing set of rules that allow such disclosure, or otherwise give us permission to do so. Tribute employs other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. For instance, we may use third parties to develop software applications and databases or to send communications on our behalf. Your PII may be disclosed to such individuals in the course of Tribute′s business operations. All such employees, agents and contractors who have access to PII are required to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. Tribute will disclose and provide access to your PII when legally required to do so for the purpose of cooperating with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our Web Site, to limit our legal liability and to protect our rights or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors of this Web Site or the public. Tribute may also sell, transfer or otherwise disclose user information, including PII, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all assets, or other fundamental corporate change.

Such third parties may use cookies to identify some of your preferences or to recognize you if you have previously visited their website. We do not control the use of such technology by third parties, the information they collect, or how they use such information. We do not disclose your PII to third parties serving content on our Web Site in connection with the serving of such content. While on our Web Site, you may encounter links to other web sites or online materials.
