"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

Notice to
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.
In
addition to browser cookies, we may use Flash cookies on some of our websites
for purposes such as those previously listed above. These Flash cookies are similar to browser
cookies and are used to remember settings, preferences and usage, but they are
managed through a different interface than the one provided by your web
browser. If you would like to delete
Flash cookies, you will need to access your Flash Player settings management
tool available on Adobe's 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.
INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THIRD PARTIES
We
may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on websites on which we
advertise and may allow third-party advertising companies to serve ads and/or
collect certain anonymous information when you visit this website. Third-party advertising technology (1) uses
non-personally identifying information (e.g. click stream information, browser
type, time and date, subject of ads clicked) derived from your visits to this
website and the sites on which we advertise to serve ads to you and (2) may use
web beacons or place a unique third-party cookie or cookies on your web
browser. To learn more about this
behavioral advertising practice or to opt-out of this type of advertising, you
can visit: http://www.networkadvertising.org/.
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.
YOUR CHOICES/UNSUBSCRIBE
To
unsubscribe from receiving promotional material from this website, CLICK HERE or follow
the instructions provided at the end of an e-mail message. Please be aware that we will process your
request as quickly as we reasonably can, but it may not be possible to update
our systems immediately.
In
addition, you should be aware that it is not always possible to completely
remove or delete all of your information from our databases without some
residual data because of backups and other reasons.
If
you want to opt out of having your PII shared with third parties for marketing
purposes, you must consistently opt-out at each of our websites where you
register and whenever you provide PII to us.
Please bear in mind that this opt-out choice for "third parties" will
not apply to Company, Company licensees and/or co-branding participants, as set
forth below. Please also keep in mind
that any opt-out choices you make will not apply in situations where (a) you
either have made, simultaneously make, or later make a specific request for
information from us, or (b) Company uses your PII for either operational
purposes (e.g. to complete transactions requested by you, or to send you
administrative communications either about your account with us or about
features of our websites, including any future changes to this Privacy Policy,
the Terms of Use, or any other policy or terms that affect you and your use of
our website) or fulfillment purposes (e.g. sharing with companies that
facilitate communications and transactions with you).
Finally,
if you do not exercise your opt-out choices upon registration or otherwise at
the time the PII is provided, it may take some time to process your opt-out
choices. Our systems require time to
update, and promotional mailings using PII shared before your opt-out may
already be in process. Thus, your PII
might continue to be shared with third parties for promotional purposes for
some time after you make your request.
For similar reasons, if your PII is shared with a third party, Company
largely or completely loses control over how that information is used. Thus, even after you have opted out of
allowing us to share your PII, you might continue to receive promotional
materials from third parties unless and until you duly register your opt-out
request with each third party in question.

additional important information about safe surfing from the Federal Trade
Commission, visit http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/index.html.
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.
