Astoria Productions is committed to protecting your online privacy
when visiting any website operated by us. We do not collect and
keep any personal information from you unless you volunteer it,
and you are 13 or older. If you are under the age of 13, we do not
collect and keep personal information online, except as explained
below. Please review the information below to familiarize yourself
with our policies on website privacy.
A SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS: Astoria Productions adheres to the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 in our website. Parents, you
can help by spending time online with your children and monitoring
your children's online use. Please help us protect your child's
privacy by instructing them never to provide personal information
on this site or any other without your permission.
IF YOU ARE UNDER 18, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THIS POLICY WITH YOUR
PARENTS AND ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THINGS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. CHILDREN
UNDER 13 MUST GET YOUR PARENT'S PERMISSION BEFORE GIVING OUT YOUR
EMAIL ADDRESS OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO Astoria Productions
- OR TO ANYONE ELSE ON THE INTERNET.
Astoria Productions doesn't require anyone to share any personal
information about themselves in order to enjoy our website. That
means you can visit our site without any need to register with us.
However, our site may contain special sections and privileges for
those that register. We do not collect any personal information
from you unless it is voluntarily provided, for instance when signing
a guest book, registering for contests, downloads, or free demos,
completing our online customer surveys, email forms, etc. The personal
information we ask for is usually first and last name, mailing address,
phone number and an email address. See below for how we use this
information.
We do not collect personal information online from children under
13, except Astoria Productions might collect some information from
a child under 13, if the child under 13 sends a specific request
to us, we may keep their email address in order to respond to them
on a one-time basis, but such information will not be used to recontact
the child and will not be maintained in retrievable form by us.
Astoria Productions may, in the future, offer special site activities
or promotions like sweepstakes or contests that are open to children
even if they are under 13. If we do offer these activities, we will
advise you of our new privacy policy to protect your child, and
we will not ask for more information from your child than what is
necessary for your child to participate in the activity.
We use the personal information we collect for the purposes indicated
at the time you provide such information. For instance, if you register
in a contest, we will use the registration information to notify
contest winners, or if you use one of our email forms, we will use
the registration information to send you a response. Occasionally,
and only with consent at the time we ask for information, we might
also email or mail you to provide information on upcoming Astoria
Productions products, website updates and promotions. If you want
to stop receiving such updates and product information from Astoria
Productions at any time, just email us. Please type "Unsubscribe"
in the subject line of the email. Our mailings and emails will also
include information allowing you to ask not to receive such information
in the future.
In special circumstances, Astoria Productions may give other companies
access to our information database, but only if necessary to allow
them to provide database or server maintenance or security or other
similar services to Astoria Productions. If Astoria Productions
believes that anyone's behavior on our site may damage us or our
site or anyone else, we may disclose the relevant personal information
in order to prevent this harm. In that case, we might try to identify
the wrongdoer, contact them or bring legal action against them.
We may also disclose personal information if we believe that the
disclosure is required by law.
A "cookie" is a small file that we save on your computer's hard
drive that contains non-personal information. Our cookies help to
give you faster access to pages you have already visited; they allow
you to personalize your pages; and they help you to participate
in some activities or events on the site. For instance, if our site
was to have a scavenger or treasure hunt, and we needed to use cookies
to keep track of your progress. If you leave the site and then return,
cookies will tell us what things you have already collected so that
you do not have to start all over again. We also use cookies to
help us figure out how many people visit our site, which of our
Web pages they stop at and how long they stay there. This information
helps us figure out which of our web features are smashing successes
and what web features might need improvement! For administrative
purposes, we collect IP addresses, which is the automatic number
assigned to your computer when you surf the Web. The IP address
allows us to count total number of "hits" on our site. However,
your IP address and cookie is not associated with any personally
identifiable or online contact information like a name and address,
so you and your family remain anonymous.
Astoria Productions does not collect information passively through
cookies or other tracking mechanisms except in the circumstances
described above. Cookies DON'T contain any personal information
about a specific user. We don't use cookies or other non-consensual
methods to take personally identifiable or online contact information
about you or your family off of your computer. Except for certain
activities like a treasure hunt, which we talked about above, Astoria
Productions doesn't use cookies for direct marketing or promotional
purposes. Cookies are also not used to collect information specifically
about you or your family for sharing with third parties.
We want you and your family to have fun surfing our site and urge
you and your family to follow common sense whenever disclosing personal
information - on this site or anywhere on the Internet.
Thanks for reading our online privacy policy. We hope you have a
better understanding of the many activities offered on our website
and the ways in which we really are committed to safeguarding online
privacy. Remember, we may change our policy from time to time to
conform to changing legal requirements or to better protect your
information. When this happens we will notify you of the new policy
by posting it on our site.
In the event that Astoria Productions Productions and/or its affiliates
or subsidiaries are ever sold, acquired, merged, liquidated, reorganized,
or otherwise transferred, we reserve the right to transfer our user
databases together with any personally identifiable information
contained therein, to a third-party acquiring Astoria Productions
Production's assets. In the event we do so, we will place a prominent
notice of the sale on the homepage of our site, with links to information
as to how you can change your privacy preferences.
If you have any comments, concerns or questions about our privacy
policy, you may contact us by e-mail, or by mail.
