Overall Privacy Statement
Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. Because
we gather certain types of information about the users of Pro Motion
Slides, Inc. network of sites and services, we feel you should fully
understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use
of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information
we gather, how we use it, and how to correct or change it. Pro Motion
Slides, Inc. gathers user information in the following processes:
• Optional registration
Several PMSI sites offer free, voluntary registration to users. By registering,
users can enter the sites without having to log on each time; and they
can take advantage of personalization (the ability to select content
according to a user-supplied profile).
During registration the user is required to supply a username, password,
and email address, and must answer mandatory survey questions about
age, gender, income, Internet connection, zip code, country, employment
status, and other employment information.
During registration the user has the option of supplying a first name,
last name, and password hint.
• Electronic newsletters (Dispatches)
The PMSI site may offer a free electronic newsletter to users. PMSI
gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users
may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided
in every newsletter.
• Surveys
Occasionally PMSI conducts user surveys to better target our content
to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information
in these surveys with our advertisers and partners. We never share any
of this information about specific individuals with any third party.
• Contests and sweepstakes
PMSI may offer contests and sweepstakes in which we request certain
personal information. At a minimum, the required information includes
name and email address; in some cases, the user must answer mandatory
survey questions about a range of other personal data. The information
gathered in the entry form is used to verify the entrant's identity,
to send the entrant an email notification that their entry has been
received, and to contact winners and/or prize recipients. There are
two situations in which PMSI will divulge this information to a third
party--provided the user gives express consent:
(1) A user may expressly choose to receive additional information from
the contest sponsor, in which case the user's personally identifiable
information is divulged to the advertiser.
(2) Some of the contests may be hosted on the PMSI site but administered
by the sponsor; in such cases, the information a user provides is passed
on to the third party as long as that user gives express consent.
Because the rules and terms of each contest can vary, all information
about each contest is clearly posted during the event. All contests
and sweepstakes are conducted in full accordance with United States
federal and state laws.
• Usage tracking
PMSI tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However,
we do not correlate this information with data about individual users.
PMSI does break down overall usage statistics according to a user's
domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information
from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser).
PMSI sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter
in using a search, but this tracking is never associated with individual
users.
• Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard
drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such
as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But
the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. PMSI uses cookies to track user
traffic patterns (as described above), when you register as a PMSI member,
and when you click an ad:
Registration: when you register, PMSI uses a cookie to store a unique,
random user ID. We do not store passwords or any personal information
about you. We use this ID to identify you anonymously in our database
and to track the pages you visit on our site. Cookies also enable you
to enter PMSI sites as a member without having to log on each time,
and to visit member-restricted areas of the sites. We encrypt the user
ID for added security.
Ads: PMSI's advertising system delivers a one-time cookie to better
track ad impressions and click rates.
If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you
will receive the warning message with each cookie.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. You do
not need to have cookies turned on to use any PMSI site.
2. Use of the information
PMSI uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance
their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive
or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content
based on the interests of our users.
* As stated above, PMSI uses information that users voluntarily provide
in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate
in polls, contests, message boards, and auctions. We send out newsletters
to subscribers on a regular schedule (daily or weekly, depending on
the newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we
think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are
doing. PMSI never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties,
including advertisers or partners.
* When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites
users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. PMSI does
not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for
you.
* We track search terms entered in Search.com as one of many measures
of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular
user enters.
* PMSI creates aggregrate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns
for advertisers and partners. This allows our advertisers to advertise
more effectively, and allows our users to receive advertisements that
are pertinent to their needs. Because PMSI doesn't track the usage patterns
of individual users, an advertiser will never know that a specific user
clicked their ad.
3. Sharing of the information
PMSI uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit
your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience's
demographics. This is essential to keeping our service free. We do not
share information about individual users with any third party, except
in the case of some contests and sweepstakes--and then, only with a
user's express consent. PMSI does not control the practices of our advertisers.
If you have questions about how one of our advertisers uses information
about you when you click their ad and go to their content, please contact
them directly. (PMSI will divulge information only as necessary to comply
with state and federal laws.)
4. Opt-out policy
PMSI gives users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices
include:
* Opting not to receive our electronic newsletters when registering
for a site
* Opting not to provide certain personal information when registering
for a site or when participating in some contests (see above)
* Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which completely
alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable information
from our users
5. Correct/update policy
PMSI offers users the ability to correct or change the information collected
during registration for any site (see above). The instructions for doing
this can be found in our Customer Service area. Users may change this
information at any time and as often as necessary. Users who are experiencing
problems or who have any questions about how our services work can contact
us at webmaster@cinemaads.com.
6. Delete/deactivate policy
Users may unsubscribe to any of our electronic newsletters at any time
by following the instructions contained at the end of every newsletter.
Currently, PMSI does not offer users a means by which to completely
delete personal information established at the time of registration
for any site .
