Chrsit
In Culture ("we" or "us") respects the privacy
of its users and recognizes the importance of protecting the
personal information you provide to us over the Internet. This
Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use
your information, and your choices. Please read this Privacy
Policy carefully. In addition, please review our Terms of Use,
which governs your use of this Web Site.
Information
Chrsit In Culture Collects
Generally,
you may browse our web site at ChrsitInCulture.com (the "Web
site") without providing any personal information about
yourself, which is information that could reasonably be used
to identify you personally (such as your name, address, birth
date or email address), which we refer to as "PII." However,
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 participate
in or receive information about games, contests, sweepstakes,
surveys and/or promotional events. We may also ask you to provide
us with demographic information or information regarding your
interests, hobbies or similar information. Providing us with
information about yourself is completely 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 Web Site's features.
When
you visit this Web Site, our web servers automatically collect
web site usage information. Web site usage information is anonymous,
aggregate information that describes how our visitors use and
navigate our Web Site, and it includes the number and frequency
of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays. We
also collect the anonymous information automatically sent to
us by your web browser, such as browser type, referrer data that
identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting
our Web Site, and IP addresses (see below for more information
on IP addresses).
We
may combine the information about you that we collect at this
Web Site with information available to us from other sources.
For example, our co-promoters or sponsors may provide us with
information, including PII, about certain users that choose to
participate in a promotional opportunity the co-promoter or sponsor
is offering in connection with Chrsit In Culture.
Chrsit
In Culture Does Not Knowingly Collect Information From Children
Under Thirteen (13) Years Of Age.
This
is not a web site directed to children under the age of 13, and
Chrsit In Culture does not knowingly collect any information
from children under thirteen (13) years of age. If you are under
thirteen (13) years of age, do not send any information about
yourself to Chrsit In Culture. If Chrsit In Culture discovers
that a child under the age of 13 has provided Chrsit In Culture
with PII, Chrsit In Culture will immediately delete that child's
PII from its system.
Chrsit
In Culture encourages parents and guardians to spend time online
with their children and to supervise their children's activities
on the world wide web. Chrsit In Culture suggests that parents
consider using parental control tools available from online services
and software manufacturers that may help ensure a child friendly
online environment and help direct their children to suitable,
child-oriented web sites.
Cookies
Like
most web sites, this Web Site sometimes makes use of browser "cookies." Cookies
are pieces of information that a web site either transfers to
your computer's hard drive or stores temporarily in your computer's
memory for record-keeping purposes. Chrsit In Culture does not
save PII in cookies.
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 Chrsit In Culture
cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of or participate
in certain features of this Web Site.
Use
Of IP Addresses
An
IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers - the
big computers that "serve up" web pages - automatically
identify your computer by its IP address. When you request pages
from this Web Site, our servers log your IP address. Chrsit In
Culture may use IP addresses for a number of purposes, such as
system administration, to report aggregate information to our
business partners or to audit the use of the Web Site.
Chrsit
In Culture's Use or Disclosure of Collected Information
Chrsit
In Culture will use the information about you that it collects
primarily to administer and run the Web Site and for other internal
purposes, with the goal of enhancing your online experience.
Chrsit
In Culture may use your PII to contact you to fulfill prizes,
to provide you with requested goods, services or information,
or for other purposes disclosed when you provide the information.
For example, Chrsit In Culture may use PII to notify users that
they have won a game, contest or sweepstakes or to provide a
requested electronic mail newsletter or other requested information.
Chrsit In Culture may use PII and other user information to provide
customized content, products and services and to improve the
content and navigation of our Web Site.
Chrsit
In Culture will not use your PII to contact you with additional
marketing and promotional information relating to the Web Site,
other Chrsit In Culture entertainment properties and/or other
exciting information and offers, including those from or on behalf
of trusted promotional partners, unless you tell us you would
like to receive such information by opting in (checking the appropriate
box or otherwise specifically expressing your consent) on the
page where you provide us with your PII. However, Chrsit In Culture
reserves the right to contact you at any time regarding any problems
or questions we have relating to your use of our Web Site, as
well as to notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms
of Use Policy or other policy or terms that affect you and your
use of our Web Site. Chrsit In Culture does not currently accept
advertising on the Web Site.
Chrsit
In Culture may disclose anonymous, aggregated user statistics
for a variety of purposes, including describing Chrsit In Culture's
services to prospective partners and other third parties, in
order to, among other things, make better alliances and provide
a better user experience on the Web Site.
Chrsit
In Culture may employ other companies and individuals to perform
functions on its behalf. Examples include, without limitation,
fulfilling orders, sending postal mail and electronic mail, analyzing
data, providing marketing assistance, creating, hosting and/or
running contests/sweepstakes/games and providing customer service.
These third parties may have access to our users' PII if it is
needed to perform their duties and functions, but they may not
use it for any other purposes.
Chrsit
In Culture 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 Web Site and applicable
laws. Chrsit In Culture may also disclose such user information
whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal
liability or to identify, contact or bring legal action against
someone who may be causing injury to or interfering with our
rights or property or the rights or property of anyone else that
could be harmed by such activities. In addition, Chrsit In Culture
may disclose user information, including PII, in connection with
a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially
all its assets, or other fundamental corporate change.
Please
note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information
you may disclose publicly in Forums, bulletin boards, or similar
web pages, or in email you send to Chrsit In Culture generally.
If you wish not to have your email posted, you must mark it "private" in
some way. You should keep in mind that whenever you publicly
disclose PII online - for example, via message boards or Forums
- that PII 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 along with the message poster's
name and message. Chrsit In Culture bears no responsibility for
any action or policies of any third parties who collect any information
users may disclose on the bulletin boards, chat areas or other
public forums, if any, on this Web Site.
Links
Please
be aware that when you are on our Web Site you could be directed
to other web sites and/or online materials through links to other
web pages that take you outside Chrsit In Culture's service and
are beyond Chrsit In Culture's control. For example, you may
encounter links from sponsors or partners, which may include
Chrsit In Culture's logo as part of a co-branding agreement.
If you "click" on the link to such a third party, the "click" takes
you off our Web Site. These other web sites may set their own
cookies, collect data, solicit PII and/or have their own privacy
policies. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected
at this Web Site, and we encourage you to review the privacy
policy of any other web site you visit.
Your
Choices
If
you wish to change your choices regarding the information you
may receive from us, or if you wish to be removed from our active
database, E-mail Private to David and
email your request.
You
should be aware, however, that Chrsit In Culture backs up its
databases to prevent inadvertent loss. When you ask to have your
PII deleted, Chrsit In Culture will make those changes in its
active databases, but it may not be feasible to remove each and
every record of the information you have provided to us. In addition,
your ability to opt out from receiving marketing and promotional
material does not change our right to contact you regarding your
use of our Web Site or changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of
Use Policy or other policy or terms that affect you and your
use of our Web Site.

including limiting access to the PII contained on our servers.
If credit card information is transmitted, Chrsit In Culture
uses industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. Chrsit In Culture cannot ensure
or warrant the security of any information you transmit to Chrsit
In Culture and you do so at your own risk.
