HOW IS THE PRIVACY OF CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN 13 PROTECTED? Our site is not targeted to children younger than 13, and we do not encourage the use of our site by children younger than 13. We have no intention of seeking personal identifying information about minors who visit our site. We encourage you to ask your children to seek your permission before providing information about themselves or their family over the Internet. How can I decline to have personal information collected? In the process of making a purchase or entering into a license on our site, you may be required to supply us with personal information, including your first name, last name, credit card information, address, ZIP Code, birth date, and e-mail address. We save your personal information only after you have made your first purchase or license from our web site. This financial audit trail information will remain on our archived database and records, but it will not be used for commercial purposes. We will also maintain information on members who have been removed for violating applicable law in order to identify repeat offenders. From time to time, we may contact non-active members to inform them of improvements or enhancements to our site. Please note that you may continue to receive member-wide e-mail messages as long as a week after canceling. HOW CAN I PROTECT MY PRIVACY ON THE INTERNET AND WITHIN THIS WEB SITE? Know the risks. When you disclose your personal information on a Web page, or in a newsgroup, chat room, or forum, it may be collected and used by other parties to send you unsolicited e-mail or for other purposes. Be aware that, although we respect the privacy of your e-mail messages, we make no representation, warranties, or commitments concerning the ability to keep your e-mail messages private. Educate yourself. Look for a privacy statement on every site you visit on the Web, and search for information on how to protect your privacy. Start with TRUSTe (http://www.truste.org), an independent, nonprofit initiative dedicated to building users' trust and confidence in the Internet. Tell your children: "Never talk to strangers!" Teach children not to give out their names or other personal information. Tell them never to fill out online registration forms without your knowledge and consent. Use complex passwords. If your password is simple, it is also simple for a hacker to break it and gain access to your e-mail account or other private areas. To protect your privacy, you should use complex passwords consisting of very long and awkward keystroke combinations. This makes the hacker's job much more difficult. Read more about hackers and passwords at: http://www.usc.edu/go/networker/97-98/Sep Oct 97/dispatch-passwords.html. We send member account passwords only to the e-mail address given during the registration process. NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE. If someone claiming to represent Film Art LA in an e-mail or chat room asks for your password, DO NOT RESPOND. The only time we ask for your password is when you need to access our system. Please help us keep our records current by updating your e-mail address when necessary. Read Guidelines. Read a message on safe surfing provided by the Federal Trade Commission at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/sitesee/index.html. Reduce spam (unsolicited e-mail). One of the drawbacks of surfing the Web, creating home pages and having an e-mail account is that you may receive spam - the electronic version of junk mail. Visit http://www.junkemail.org for more information on spam and how you can cut down on how much spam you receive. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or believe that Film Art LA has acted in a manner inconsistent with it, please send e-mail to info@filmartla.com. |
