Videos For Change, LLC Privacy Statement
Videos For Change, LLC. ("VFC") is committed to protecting the privacy
of our website users ("Users") and VFC members ("Members").
To that end, we offer this statement to inform our Users and Members of how
we define, gather and utilize personally identifiable information. VFC shall
take reasonable steps to protect Members' and Users' privacy consistent with
the guidelines set forth in this policy and the law.
VFC defines personally identifiable information as information that includes
any combination of the following: a person's full name, street address, telephone
number, date of birth, email address and/or the genre of products rented or
purchased by a person. VFC can gather information about our Users in two different
ways:
1. A User supplies it in response to a request from us or
2. Cookie technology.
VFC collects personally identifiable information from Users when voluntarily
submitted by a User, for example when a User participates in a contest, purchases
products online, or registers on mikecamoin.com/videosforchange.com for an e-newsletter
or other individualized services. We require that a User be 16 years of age
or older to submit personally identifiable information. We do not knowingly
collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen.
We screen users who wish to provide personal information to prevent users under
the age of thirteen from providing such information. If we become aware that
we have inadvertently received personally identifiable information from a user
under the age of thirteen, we will delete such information from our records.
If we change our practices in the future, we will obtain prior, verifiable parental
consent before collecting any personally identifiable information from children
under the age of thirteen. Because we do not knowingly collect any personally
identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen, we also do
not knowingly distribute such information to third parties. We do not knowingly
allow children under the age of thirteen to publicly post or otherwise distribute
personally identifiable contact information. Because we do not collect any personally
identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen, we do not
condition the participation in online activities of a child under thirteen on
providing personally identifiable information.
VFC also utilizes cookie technology to process and identify order data. A cookie
is a piece of information that is transferred to a user's hard drive for record-
keeping purposes. If Users choose to, they have the option to set their browser
to refuse cookies.
VFC, its affiliates and (if permitted by VFC) may share and use personally
identifiable information collected online to develop and improve the products,
benefits and services we or selected business partners offer to our Members
or Users. VFC, its affiliates and franchises (if permitted by VFC also may share
and use certain User and Member data in the ordinary course of their business,
for example, for account maintenance and debt collection. Certain information
collected in connection with product purchases may be provided to third parties
for use in transaction authorization, fraud scoring and credit card fraud prevention
modeling.
Except as described above, VFC will not communicate with Users or Members by
email or provide User or Member email addresses to business partners, unless
the User or Member has provided express permission to VFC. Users and Members
also have the chance to opt out of other opportunities to receive promotional
communications, materials and products from (1) VFC its affiliates and or (2)
their business partners. With the exception of users exercising the opt out
opportunity, VFC, its affiliates and franchisees (if permitted by VFC) on occasion
may disclose to their business partners certain data such as names and addresses
and the genre of products rented or purchased by a person, for the exclusive
use of marketing goods and services directly to Users and Members. Under no
circumstances will VFC disclose title-specific information to anyone except
as allowed by law.
Secure online ordering is important to VFC. VFC utilizes SSL (secure socket
layers) to protect your credit card and order information. SSL encrypts all
of this data, such as your name and credit card number, so that it cannot be
read in transit. In addition, VFC encrypts credit card information when it is
stored in our databases.
VFC supports the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988 and will use reasonable
commercial efforts to require employee and business partner compliance with
the Act.
REQUIRED BY NEW YORK LAW: This video tape service provider from time to time
provides to marketers of goods and services, the names and addresses of customers
and a description or subject matter of materials rented by video customers.
Users have the right to elect not to have your name, address or the description
or subject matter of any material rented included in such lists. This election
