- The Audience - The Privacy Policy -

New Media Ninjas ("NMN" or "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 on this web site, http://www.newmedianinjas.com/theaudience ("Web Site"), how we use your information, and your choices. This Privacy Policy only covers information collected at this Web Site, and does not cover any information collected by any other Web Site or offline by NMN (unless specifically stated), its affiliates or any other company. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. In addition, please review our Terms of Use <termsofuse.html>, which governs your use of this Web Site.

Information NMN Collects

*Personally Identifiable Information*: Generally, you may browse this 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. In addition, you may have the opportunity to provide us with the PII, such as name or e-mail address, of someone else, such as if you chose to e-mail a friend an article, electronic greeting card or other special feature from our Web Site.

We may combine the information about you that we collect at this Web Site with information available to us from other sources. For example, you may provide PII to us at other NMN web sites, or our co-promoters or sponsors may provide us with information, including PII, about users that choose to participate in a promotional opportunity the co-promoter or sponsor is offering in connection with NMN.

*Non-Personally Identifiable Information*: When you visit this Web Site, our web servers automatically collect web site usage information. Web site usage information is non-identifying, 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 non-identifying 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 also may determine the technology available through your browser in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page.

*NMN 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 NMN does not knowingly collect any PII 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 NMN. If NMN discovers that a child under the age of 13 has provided NMN with PII, NMN will delete that child's PII from its system.

NMN encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to supervise their children's activities on the World Wide Web. NMN 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.

Use Of IP Addresses

An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from this Web Site, our servers log your IP address. NMN 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.

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. NMN does not save PII in cookies. We may use cookies for a number of purposes. For example, we sometimes use cookies when we conduct polls, contests or sweepstakes to limit multiple responses and registrations. Or, we may use cookies to track usage patterns on the Web Site or to analyze web activity.

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 NMN cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in certain features of this Web Site.

NMN's Use and Disclosure of Collected Information

NMN may use your PII to provide you with requested information or content, to contact you in connection with a contest, sweepstakes or promotion, or for other purposes disclosed when you provide the information. We may also contact you regarding any problems or questions we have relating to your use of our Web Site, or, in our discretion, notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or other policy or terms that affect you and your use of our Web Site. NMN may also use information about our users, including PII, for internal purposes.

If you choose to enter a sweepstakes, contest or other promotion, your PII may be disclosed to third parties in connection with such promotion at least as required by law, including, without limitation, on a winners list. In addition, by entering a sweepstakes, contest or other promotion, we may require you to consent to the use of your PII or other information, such as voice or likeness, in advertising, promotional and marketing materials.

If you e-mail someone else an article, electronic greeting card or other special feature from our Web Site, we will use the information you provide about someone else to send that person the requested e-mail. The e-mail addresses you supply us for those activities will not be used to send you or your friend any other e-mail communications unless otherwise disclosed at the time you provide such information.

NMN may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on its behalf. Examples include, without limitation, hosting this Web Site, sending communications on our behalf, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, creating, hosting and/or running contests/sweepstakes/games and providing customer service. These third parties may have access to this Web Site's user information, including PII, but only to the extent it is needed to perform their duties and functions.

NMN 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. NMN may also disclose such user information whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability or to protect or enforce the rights, interests, or safety of the Web Site, our users or others. In addition, NMN reserves the right to disclose and/or transfer user information, including PII, in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially all of its assets, or other fundamental corporate change.

NMN may disclose non-identifying, aggregated user statistics to third parties for a variety of purposes, including describing NMN's services to prospective partners and other third parties.

Other than as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, we will not contact you with marketing material or share your PII with outside parties unless such use or disclosure is clearly identified at the time you provide your PII or we provide you the opportunity to consent or prohibit such use or disclosure.

Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may disclose publicly in chat rooms, bulletin boards, or similar web pages. You should keep in mind that whenever you publicly disclose PII online - for example, via message boards or chat rooms - 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. NMN 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.

Your Choices

You should be aware that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases. And, 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 or other policy or terms that affect you and your use of our Web Site.

Security

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

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 NMN's service and are beyond NMN's control. For example, you may encounter links from sponsors or partners, which may include NMN'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.

If you are located in the European Union, Canada or elsewhere outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. By using our Web Site, participating in any of our services and/or providing us with your information, you consent to this transfer.
