At Cool Sport Pix, we are committed to protecting the online privacy of visitors to our websites. This Policy applies only to the websites and online services provided by Cool Sport Pix. This Policy does not cover any interaction you may have with Cool Sport Pix Network by telephone, postal mail, or other offline communications. The purpose of this Policy is to inform you about the types of information we gather about you when you visit our websites, how we may use that information, and how we disclose it to third parties.
Our websites are not designed for use by children without their parent's supervision. We ask that anyone under the age of eighteen not submit any personal information through our websites. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of eighteen, and therefore we do not knowingly distribute such information to third parties.
Our websites may contain links to other websites, including websites directed to children. We have no control over the privacy practices or the content of any of our business partners, advertisers, sponsors or other websites to which we provide links from our websites. You should check the applicable privacy policy of the website sponsor when linking to other websites.
I. Information That We Collect
Personal
Information
At various locations on our websites, such as in registration
forms, sweepstakes entries, message boards, online stores, surveys,
and polls, we may request that you supply us with "personal
information," such as your name, email address, mailing
and shipping addresses, home or work telephone number, and/or
credit card information. You will always know when we are collecting
personal information, because we only collect personal information
when you voluntarily submit it to us through our online forms
and questionnaires. Although you do not have to provide us with
any information to visit our websites, you may not be able to
fully utilize all of the services on our websites if you choose
not to provide certain information. If you do choose to give
us personal information through our websites, we will collect
and retain that information.
Non-Personal
Information
When you use our websites, we may also collect "non-personal
information," which is information that, by itself, cannot
be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information
(your age, gender, income, education, profession, zip code,
etc.). Non-personal information may also include technical information,
such as your IP address, the type of browser you are using,
the websites you visit immediately before and immediately after
you visit our websites, and other anonymous data involving your
use of our websites. Non-personal information may also include
information that you provide us through your use of our websites,
such as the time zone you select if you use our TV schedule
feature, or the terms you enter into the search functions of
our websites.
Online
Stores
We collect personal information from you when you purchase products
from our online stores. For example, we require you to provide
your name, contact information, shipping and billing addresses,
and a credit card number before we process your orders. We also
collect information about your transactions with us. We may
use the information that you provide to communicate with you
about products purchased through our online stores, to provide
customer support in connection with those products, and to send
you information about other products and services which we believe
may be of interest to you.
Cookies
We use "cookies" to enhance your visits to our websites.
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.
Cookies do not store personal information about you, unless
you knowingly provide it. Cookies can store non-personal information,
such as what websites, pages, or advertisements your browser
has accessed. We use cookies to store information and personalize
your experience with our websites. For example, cookies allow
our websites to recognize your browser as a previous visitor,
and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been
set while you were previously browsing our websites. Our cookies
can also store your password, personalize pages, and keep track
of selections, such as your time zone and episode selections,
or items you have placed in a "shopping cart."
You do have control over cookies. Most browsers can be set to notify you when a cookie is being placed on your computer. Most browsers can also be set to refuse to accept cookies, although this may affect your Internet experience. You can also erase cookies that are already on your computer. For more information about working with cookies, you should consult your user manual, FAQ, or "help" function of your specific browser and operating system software.
II. How We Use the Information We Collect
Our
Services and Websites
We use your personal information to provide you any services
that you may request or require, to communicate with you, to
allow you to make purchases, and to allow you to participate
in online contests, surveys and games. We use aggregated non-personal
information about our users to understand our website's demographics,
such as the percentage of male and female users, the geographic
distribution of our users, the age ranges of our users, or a
combination of these or other demographics. We use the non-personal
information we collect to analyze how our websites are being
used, and to improve the content of our websites, online product
offerings, and marketing and promotional efforts.
Email
Communications
If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use
your personal information to respond to your questions or comments,
and we may save your questions or comments for future reference.
However, aside from our reply to such an email, it is not our
standard practice to send you email unless you request a particular
service that involves email communications, you otherwise consent
to being contacted by email or if such contact is to communicate
with you about products purchased through our online stores,
to provide customer support in connection with those products,
and to send you information about other products and services
which we believe may be of interest to you. There may be times
when you will have the opportunity to subscribe to an email
list or electronic newsletter that will send information about
our websites or our advertisers to your email address. However,
we will provide you with the option to change your preferences
and opt-out of receiving those communications. You may request
at any time that we not email you in the future by clicking
the "unsubscribe" link which is included at the bottom
of any email that you receive from us, or by contacting us at
contacting privacy@CoolSportPix.com. If you unsubscribe, we
will make reasonable efforts to discontinue these email communications
as soon as practicable.
Online
Stores
If you make a purchase through our online stores, we may use
the information you provide to send you important announcements
and updates regarding our websites or online products. You may
also receive periodic mailings regarding new products and services.
However, you may opt-out from receiving future mailings by contacting
privacy@CoolSportPix.com or:
CoolSportPix.com
Attn: Web Privacy Policy Department
PO Box 985
Hollywood, CA 90078
When you provide us with your personal information to make a purchase through our online stores, we use this information to process your online order and credit card number. We also use your address and billing information to bill you and provide associated support.
III. Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
Affiliates
and Non-Affiliates
Except as specifically set forth in this Policy, we do not share
your personal information with any non-affiliated third party
without your permission. We may disclose aggregate information,
such as demographic information, and our statistical analyses
to third parties, including advertisers or other business partners.
This aggregate information does not include your personal information.
We may, however, share your personal information with certain
websites that control us, are controlled by us, or under common
control with us (our "Affiliates"), such as onlinefmc.com,
and Cool Sport Pix.com, and websites operated by our Affiliates
or other businesses of Cool Sport Pix LLC, our parent company,
so that they and we can offer you products and services that
may be of interest to you. Please refer to our Affiliates' privacy
policies for details regarding how they handle your personal
and non-personal information.
Service
Providers
We sometimes engage unaffiliated businesses to assist us in
providing you certain services. For example, we may hire a shipping
company to help us deliver our products or services to you.
We may also use third parties to process online transactions
and credit card payments, provide advertising, marketing and
promotional assistance, provide email services, or facilitate
our online services (such as message boards, chat rooms, and
surveys). In those instances, we may need to share your personal
information with them. We require these companies to use your
personal information only to provide the particular product
or service and do not authorize them to use your personal information
for any other reason.
We sometimes offer promotions (like sweepstakes or free subscriptions) in conjunction with a third party sponsor. If you choose to participate in one of those promotions, we may share your information with the sponsor if they need it to send you a product or other special promotion they offer.
Business
Transactions
As Cool Sport Pix and its websites continue to develop, we may
buy, sell or combine with other businesses. If so, personal
and non-personal information that we or other businesses have
collected will likely be transferred as part of the transaction.
If we sell a business, we will attempt to ensure that requests
made of us regarding email communications will be honored.
Public
Forums
We feature public forums such as chat rooms, message boards,
bulletin boards, or similar activities where you and other users
of our websites can communicate with one another. This Policy
does not protect you when you use these public forums or provide
information (including personal information) about yourself.
Any information you share in a public forum such as a chat room,
message board, or bulletin board is public information and may
be seen or collected by anyone, including third parties that
do not adhere to our Privacy Policy. Cool Sport Pix is not responsible
for events arising from the distribution of any information
you choose to publicly post or share through our websites.
Third
Party Advertisers
We use third-party advertising companies to deliver specific
advertisements to you, which appear on pages throughout our
websites. These companies collect non-personal information about
your visits to our websites and other websites in order to provide
advertisements about products and services that may be of interest
to you. These companies may also aggregate your non-personal
information for use in targeted advertising, marketing research,
and other similar purposes. These companies may place their
own cookies on your computer. If you want to prevent a third-party
advertiser from collecting and using this information, you may
visit each third party advertiser's website directly and opt-out.
Other
Disclosures
We may disclose personal information when we are required or
requested to do so by law, court order or other government or
law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; to enforce or
apply our rights and agreements; or when we believe in good
faith that disclosing this information is necessary or advisable,
including, for example, to protect the rights, property, or
safety of Cool Sport Pix, our users, or others. This includes
exchanging information with other companies and organizations
for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. We reserve the
right to use or disclose non-personal information in any way
we see fit.
IV. Security of the Information We Collect
The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure your personal information. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet, and there is always some risk in transmitting information electronically. The personal information we collect is stored within databases that we control. As we deem appropriate, we use security measures consistent with industry standards, such as firewalls and encryption technology, to protect your information. However, since no security system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. Of course, any information you post to any message board, discussion group, or other public posting area on our websites is available to anyone with Internet access.
V. Accuracy of the Information We Collect
Any questions you may have regarding our Privacy Policy, the accuracy of your personal information or the use of your personal information, or any requests that we correct, update, or remove your information in our databases, should be directed via email to privacy@CoolSportPix.com, or via telephone to 323-467-6580. You also can write us at:
CoolSportPix.com
Attn: Web Privacy Policy Department
PO Box 985
Hollywood, CA 90078
After receiving a request to change your information, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that all of your personal information stored in databases we actively use to operate our website will be updated, corrected, changed or deleted, as appropriate, as soon as reasonably practicable. However, we reserve the right to retain in our archival files any information we remove from or change in our active website databases. We may retain such information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our terms of use. In addition, it is not technologically possible to remove each and every record of the information you have provided to us. A copy of your personal information may exist in a non-erasable form that will be difficult or impossible for us to locate.
This Policy is effective as of November 10, 2003. We reserve the right to change this Policy at any time, and will post any changes to this Policy as soon as they go into effect. Please refer back to this Policy on a regular basis.
