| Thank you for visiting
Lantern Light Productions ("we" or
"us") Web site. Your privacy is important to us. To
better protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our
online information practices and the choices you can make about
the collection and use of the personal information you submit on
Web pages where this policy is posted. |
| As
we operate internationally, and many of our computer systems are
currently based in the United States, your personal data will be
processed by us in the U.S. where data protection and privacy
regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other
parts of the world, such as the European Union. If you create a
user account with this site as a visitor from outside the United
States, you will be asked during the initial registration to
consent to the collection and/or processing in the United States
of your personally identifiable information, which includes the
use of cookies as described below. |
| The
Information We Collect |
| At
some Lantern Light Productions Web sites, you can order products,
enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion,
subscribe to one of our services such as our online newsletters,
or participate in one of our online forums or communities. The
types of personally identifiable information that may be collected
at these pages include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone
number, fax number, credit card information, and information about
your interests in and use of various products, programs, and
services. |
| At
some other Lantern Light Productions Web sites, you can submit
information about other people. For example, you might submit a
person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic greeting
card and, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to
the recipient, you might submit the recipient's name and address.
The types of personally identifiable information that may be
collected about other people at these pages include: recipient's
name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number. |
| At
certain parts of some of our sites, only persons who provide us
with the requested personally identifiable information will be
able to order products, programs, and services, or otherwise
participate in the site's activities and offerings. We also
collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you
visit many of our Web pages such as the type of browser you are
using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating
system you are using (e.g., Windows 2000 or Mac OS), and the
domain name of your Internet service provider (e.g., America
Online, Earthlink). |
|
How
We Use The Information |
|
We use the information you provide about yourself
to fulfill your requests for our products, programs, and services,
to respond to your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer you
other products, programs or services that we believe may be of
interest to you.
|
| We use this information to communicate with you,
such as to notify you when you have won one of our contests or
when we make changes to our subscriber agreements, to fulfill a
request by you for an online newsletter, or to contact you about
your account with us. |
| We use the information that you provide about
others to enable us to send them your gifts or cards. From time to
time, we also may use this information to offer our products,
programs, or services to them. |
| The information we collect in connection with our
online forums and communities is used to provide an interactive
experience. We use this information to facilitate participation in
these online forums and communities and, from time to time, to
offer you products, programs, or services. |
| If you choose to submit content for publication
(e.g., a "letter to our editors"), we may publish your
screen name and other information you have provided to us. We use
the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to
improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to
personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this
information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as well as to
offer you products, programs, or services. |
| We may disclose personally identifiable
information in response to legal process, for example, in response
to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such
information in response to a law enforcement agency's request or
where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take
action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations
involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person,
violations of our terms of use, or as otherwise required by law.
In addition, we may transfer information about you if we are
acquired by or merged with another company. |
| Agents and contractors of Lantern Light
Productions who have access to personally identifiable information
are required to protect this information in a manner that is
consistent with this Privacy Policy by, for example, not using the
information for any purpose other than to carry out the services
they are performing for Lantern Light Productions. |
| Although we take appropriate measures to
safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we
cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we
collect will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent
with this Privacy Policy. |
| At some places on our Site, we may ask your
permission to disclose personally identifiable information about
you to companies whose practices are not covered by this Privacy
Policy (e.g., other marketers, magazine publishers, retailers,
participatory databases and non-profit organizations) that want to
market products or services to you. If at some point you grant us
permission to transfer your information for these purposes and
later decide that you no longer want us to do so, simply send us a
letter to our mailing address, and we will edit your
preferences accordingly. |
| We may, on occasion, combine information we
receive online with outside records to enhance our ability to
market to you those products or services that may be of interest
to you. When registering with our site, we provide you with an
opportunity to express your preferences with respect to receiving
details about other products and services from Lantern Light
Productions and other Lantern Light Business about products and
services from selected third parties. If you ever decide in
the |
| future that you would like to update these
preferences, you may do so by sending us a letter to our mailing
address and we will edit your preferences
accordingly. Finally, we will not use or transfer personally
identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the
ones described above without also providing you with an
opportunity to opt out of these unrelated uses.
|
| Collection
Of Information By Third Party Sites And Sponsors |
| Some of our sites contain links to other sites
whose information practices may be different than ours. Visitors
should consult the other sites' privacy policies, as we have no
control over information that is submitted to, or collected by,
these third parties. |
| We sometimes may offer content (e.g., contests,
sweepstakes, or promotions) that is sponsored by or co-branded
with identified third parties. By virtue of these relationships,
the third parties may obtain personally identifiable information
that visitors voluntarily submit to participate in the site
activity. We have no control over these third parties' use of this
information. The site will notify you at the time of requesting
personally identifiable information if these third parties will
obtain such information. |
| At some Lantern Light Productions Web sites,
reputable third parties may present or serve the advertisements.
Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that a
third party ad server may collect from you. |
| Cookies
And Other Technical Information
|
| We send "cookies" to your computer
primarily to enhance your online experience. "Cookies"
are files that can identify you as a unique customer and store
your personal preferences as well as technical information
(including click through and click stream data). Cookies can
either be permanent (i.e., they remain on your computer until you
delete them) or temporary (i.e., they last only until you close
your browser). We may also use "Web beacons" that
monitor your use of our sites. Web beacons (or Web bugs) are small
strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic
image on a Web page for the purpose of transferring data, such as
the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the computer that downloaded
the page on which the Web beacon appears, the URL (Uniform
Resource Locator) of the page on which the Web beacon appears, the
time the page containing the Web beacon was viewed, the types of
browser that fetched the Web beacon and the identification number
of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server.
When corresponding with you via HTML capable e-mail, Web beacons
let us know whether you received and opened our e-mail. |
| If you choose to furnish the site with personally
identifiable information, this information can be stored in or
linked to other data stored in the cookies/Web beacons. |
| By accepting this Privacy Policy, you
specifically agree to our use of cookies and Web beacons as
described herein. You may adjust your browser to reject cookies
from us or from any other Web site. Additionally, by setting your
Web browser to display HTML e-mails as text only, you may be able
to prevent the use of some Web beacons. Please consult the
"Help" section of your browser for more information.
However, certain areas of our sites can only be accessed in
conjunction with cookies or similar devices and you should be
aware that disabling cookies or similar devices might prevent you
from accessing some of our content. |
| Our
Commitment To Security |
| We have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help
prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly
use the information we collect online. |
| How
You Can Access Or Correct Information |
| To access the personally identifiable information
that this Lantern Light Productions site has collected about you
online from the pages on which this Privacy Policy is posted, to
correct factual errors in such information, or to update your
interests, preferences or other portions of your user profile,
please send a letter to our mailing address. |
| To protect your privacy and
security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your
identity before granting access or making corrections. |
| Children's
Privacy |
| Visitors
to this site may participate in many activities without providing
any personally identifiable information. However, if a user wants
to participate in certain of our interactive features, we ask the
user to register and provide us with the following information:
the user's e-mail address and age information. When the person who
registers indicates that he or she is under 13, we will either
collect no personally identifiable information from that
individual or inform the child that a parent's verifiable consent
is required or we will collect the e-mail address of the user's
parent in addition to the user's e-mail address. We use the
parent's e-mail address to seek the parent's verifiable consent or
notify the parent of his/her child's online activities and enable
the parent to unsubscribe his/her child from a newsletter or other
similar activity. If a user is under 13, we will not condition
his/her participation in an online activity on the disclosure of
more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in
the activity. We do not share children's information with outside
third parties not bound by this Privacy Policy. If you would like
to review any personally identifiable information that we have
collected online from your child, have this information deleted,
and/or request that there be no further collection or use of your
child's information or if you have questions about these
information practices, you may contact us at our mailing address. |
| Notification
Regarding Updates |
| From
time to time, we may update this privacy notice. We will notify
you about material changes in the way we treat personally
identifiable information by placing a notice on our site. We
encourage you to periodically check back and review this policy so
that you always will know what information we collect, how we use
it, and to whom we disclose it. |
| How
To Contact Us |
| If
you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or
its implementation you may contact us at our mailing address. |
