Effective as of July 1, 2005
PRIVACY POLICY
Fox Filmed Entertainment ("Fox FE") is part of the News America Group, which has adopted a set of Privacy Principles applicable to all its U.S.-based companies. Fox FE has implemented those Principles in this Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use and share personally identifiable information ("PII") we obtain from and about individuals located in the U.S.
From time to time Fox FE may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the law, technology, our PII collection and use practices, the features of our web sites or industry initiatives. Those revisions will be reflected in this Privacy Policy and the effective date will be noted at the beginning of the Policy. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices. If Fox FE materially changes its practices regarding collection or use of your PII, your PII will continue to be governed by the Policy under which it was collected unless you have been provided notice of and have not objected to the change.
1. COLLECTION - COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ("PII") BY FOX FE:
(a) General: Fox FE collects personally identifiable information ("PII" -- that is, information such as your full name, email address, mailing address or telephone number) in order to create or enhance our relationship with you. When we collect PII from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting the information to us in order to participate in activities like sweepstakes, contests, games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, in connection with content or suggestions you submit to us, chats or bulletin boards, or because you want us to furnish you with products, services or information. We may also obtain PII from reputable third parties. (b) Cookies: Cookies are small bits of information that the Fox FE web sites place on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies remember information about your activities on our site(s) and enable Fox FE to make your visits to our site(s) more enjoyable. For example, cookies can store your password for easy log-on to a site you have previously visited, can save your preferences for a personalized home page or can track the items you have placed in your "shopping cart" during a visit to our online store.
Fox FE may use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of our web site(s) to PII obtained from you or a reputable third party. For example, if you've asked us to provide you information about our upcoming products or promotions, cookie and/or click stream data about your activities on Fox FE’s web site(s) may allow us to limit the materials we provide you to items we think you will find interesting, based on your prior online activities and preferences. However, if Fox FE wishes to coordinate your personal and web site activity information in this manner, we will obtain your express affirmative consent.
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely. However, without cookies you won't have access to certain features on Fox FE's web site(s), such as personalization of site content.
2. NOTICE - FOX FE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE ABOUT ITS PII COLLECTION PRACTICES:
When you voluntarily provide PII to Fox FE, we will make sure you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses Fox FE will make of the information.
At the time you provide your PII, Fox FE will notify you of your options regarding our use of your PII, including whether we will share it with outside companies (See "Choice" below). This Policy describes the types of other companies that may want to send you information about their products and services and therefore want to share your personal information, provided you have given Fox FE permission to do so (See "Use" below).
Sometimes we collect PII from consumers in manual format or off-line, such as a post card or subscription form. Providing detailed notice in those situations often proves impractical, so consumers will instead be provided with a short notice that describes how to obtain the full text of this Policy and other relevant information from us.
Fox FE's web site(s) may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies. Fox FE is not responsible for the privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our site(s) or for the privacy practices of a third party. Once you've left a Fox FE site via such a link, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third-party site to determine how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
Fox FE's web site(s) may also be linked to sites operated by companies affiliated with Fox FE (i.e., that are part of the News America Group). Although all News America Group entities adhere to the Group’s Privacy Principles, visitors to those affiliated sites should still refer to their separate privacy policies and practices, which may differ in some respects from this Policy.
3. CHOICE - FOX FE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE USE OF YOUR PII:
Fox FE will not use the PII you provide to us for purposes different from the purpose for which it was submitted, or share your PII with third parties that are not affiliated with Fox FE (i.e., not a part of the News America Group), unless we obtain your permission.
4. USE - FOX FE'S USE OF PII:
Fox FE will use your PII provided under this Policy in a manner that is consistent with this Policy. If Fox FE obtains PII from a third party, such as a business partner, our use of this information is governed by this Policy.
Fox FE may share your PII with companies that are affiliated with us, that is, part of the News America Group of companies. Provided you have given us permission, Fox FE may also share your PII with advertisers and business partners that are not affiliated with Fox FE, but would like to send you information about their products and services. However, you will always have the opportunity to instruct us not to share your information with third parties at the time of collection.
Fox FE employees, agents and contractors must have a legitimate business reason to obtain access to your PII. Fox Fe may share your PII with outside contractors or agents who help us manage our information activities (i.e., sweepstakes administration, order fulfillment, statistical analyses), but they may only use PII to provide Fox FE with a specific service and not for any other purpose. Fox FE uses a third party vendor to distribute e-mails and to collect and store consumer registration information. Click Here to see the vendor's Services Permission Policy.
There may be instances when Fox FE may disclose PII without providing you with a choice in order to protect the legal rights of Fox FE, other companies within the News America Group or their employees, agents and contractors; to protect the safety and security of visitors to our web sites; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with the law or legal process. In addition, if Fox FE sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, Fox FE may transfer your PII to a third party as part of that transaction.
5. SECURITY - FOX FE PROTECTS THE SECURITY OF PII:
Fox FE uses reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard PII in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. In addition, Fox FE uses reasonable methods to make sure that PII is accurate, up-to-date and appropriately complete. Passwords and other sensitive information stored by Fox FE are encrypted both in transit and when stored within Fox FE’s online databases.
6. ACCESS - HOW TO ACCESS, CORRECT OR DELETE YOUR PII:
Visitors may review or delete personal information from our records. If you would like to review your personal information in our records, or change any PII or user preferences previously submitted, please go to Member Center. If you would like your personal information deleted, please contact us at feedbackus@fox.com. We will delete your information from our database. However, there may be residual information that will remain within our databases that may or may not contain PII. This residual information will not be given to any other third party or used for any commercial purpose.
