INTRODUCTION
Welcome to The Movie Portal. We respect your privacy. We realize
that in this day and age this is a serious issue and we take it
seriously. Because privacy concerns are so important, we have
tried to write this policy in an easy to understand manner. We want you to
know what information about you we collect and what we do with
that information. In order to help you understand how the
information you provide The Movie Portal will be used, the following
Privacy Policy has been created. This Privacy Policy applies to
all information we collect or receive from you.
Please note that The Movie Portal may contain links to other websites
and occasionally other websites may be co-branded with the The
Movie Portal name. Websites that are linked to The Movie
Portal or carry The Movie Portal brand may have privacy policies which differ from
that of The Movie Portal.
The first thing that you should know is
that we are collecting information about you.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Registration Information. You are not required to
register or give us any personal information about yourself in
order to visit The Movie Portal Website and to view certain content
made generally available on our Website. However, we may offer
you the opportunity to register with us. If you choose to register, you are asked to give
us your name and email address, and to choose a password.
If you decide to purchase or rent
something on our website we will ask you for a bit more
information. For purchases, we will collect your credit card
information including billing address, and expiration date. To
protect the use of your card we also require the 3-digit CSC
code the first time you make a purchase with us. We want to note
that your Credit Card Number is encrypted immediately when it is
submitted over the website. This is good to remember because
your information is actually safer with us than it is, say, on a
receipt for a purchase you may have made where the numbers are
clearly displayed.
When you make purchases you have
the option to save your billing information. This is so that the
next time you come back to make another purchase, you don't have
to enter all of your information again. Like we said, this is
your choice. If you have chosen to register and have
chosen to save credit card information it will display in the My
Account section of the site. This section requires your login
and is https secure.
Automatic Collection of Data. You may be able to visit
our Website and use certain of our services while remaining
anonymous. However, whether you have registered with us or not,
The Movie Portal may still collect certain non-personally identifiable
information about your use of our services. For example, The
Movie Portal might collect information concerning the type of
Internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating
system you are using, your IP address, your connection speed,
the domain name of your Internet service provider, the
geographic location from which you are accessing our service
and/or the Website or advertisement from which you linked to The
Movie Portal Website. Once you have registered with us, we also
track and collect information about you, including your
transactions with us, our affiliates, or others, and your site
usage patterns, such as the pages on the Website you have
visited, searches you have conducted and the amount of time you
have spent on our Website. If you contact us, we may keep a
record of your correspondence.
Cookies. When you visit our Website or click through
hyperlinks appearing thereon, or use one or more of our
services, we may use an industry-wide technology called
"cookies" which stores certain information on your
computer. We use cookies to keep track of you when you sign in
to The Movie Portal site to help facilitate your signing-in so
that you don't have to sign in every time you visit The Movie
Portal. Most browsers will allow
you to erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block
acceptance of cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is
stored. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen
to learn more about these functions. You do have the right to
disable or delete the cookies. Doing so, however, will diminish
your experience on The Movie Portal and may make it impossible
for us to provide certain services to you. One thing that can
happen by disabling or deleting your cookies is that you won't
have access to movies that you have rented or purchased from
us.
Security Software. The Movie Portal service works in
conjunction with your third party supplied media player (see
minimum specifications) which, among other things, protects
against unauthorized use of the downloaded
digital files that you obtain limited rights to use. The
security on the media player software may need to be upgraded by
the third party suppliers, which currently include, but may not
be limited to, Microsoft and RealNetworks. Your media player
will connect to an Internet site operated by those third party
suppliers, and will be sent a security file, along with a unique
identifier, which does not contain any personal information
about you. The third party supplier's use of this information is
subject to such third party supplier's privacy policies which
can be accessed from its website.
Information We Receive From Our Affiliates. You may
also separately provide information about yourself to third
party or co-branded sites through which we provide access to our
service ("Affiliate Sites"). When you register with
us, the Affiliate Site that you came from may provide us with
your user/member name and password from such site. Some of those
Affiliate Sites or other sites may share other information that
you provide to them with us. By using our services, you agree to
allow us to receive and use any information, except for credit
card information that you may provide to such Affiliate Sites or
other sites, under the same terms as if you provided it to us
directly. Whether or not that Affiliate Site or other site
actually shares your information and to what extent they do
share with us will depend on their agreement with us and their
individual privacy policy.
WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR
INFORMATION
In general, The Movie Portal may use non-personally identifiable
information about you to improve and enhance the services we
provide. The Movie Portal may share this information with the suppliers
of content on the service, affiliates and other entities in
non-personal form to show general demographic and preference
information among users of The Movie Portal service or for other
purposes. This information may include usage and demographic
data, but it will not include personal information (such as your
email address).
If you provide The Movie Portal with personally identifiable
information, we will take reasonable and appropriate steps to
protect this information. Except as otherwise described in this
Privacy Policy, The Movie Portal will not disclose, share, sell or rent
personally identifiable information collected on our Website to
any third party without your prior consent. If you access our services using
a co-branded version of our Website that contains messaging that
information will be shared with that affiliate whose company
name is displayed on the co-branded site, any personal or
non-personal information collected may be shared with that
affiliate. Any use of such information by The Movie Portal will be
subject to this Privacy Policy and any use of such information
by the affiliate will be subject to this Privacy Policy and the
affiliate's privacy policy. We do not share your credit card
account information with Affiliate Sites or any other third
parties, other than order processing and credit card clearance
service providers as described below.
We work with third parties who provide services, which may
include website hosting, promotion fulfillment, order
processing, credit card clearance, data analysis and other
services of an administrative nature. Personal information,
including financial information, may be shared with such third
parties for the purpose of providing such services to you. We
seek to impose confidentiality obligations on such service
providers. Also, entities into which our company is merged, or
to which our assets, site or operations have been transferred or
sold, will be able to use your personal information under the
terms of this Privacy Policy. We also reserve the right to
disclose personal information to third parties when we believe
in good faith that the law requires it, to
protect the rights, property, safety, or security of The Movie
Portal,
its content providers, or the public, to respond to an
emergency, or as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy.
SECURITY
We use reasonable security methods to protect the data that
resides on our servers. However, because no security system is
impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our servers.
It is also possible that information you supply to us will be
intercepted during transmission.
Whenever you give The Movie Portal sensitive information (e.g., credit
card numbers), The Movie Portal will take commercially reasonable steps
to protect such information by establishing a secure connection
with your Web browser. The Movie Portal employs an industry standard
technology known as a secure-socket-layer ("SSL") to
protect the transmission of payment information to the Website.
You can check the security of your connection by looking at the
address in your browser window. After you have accessed a secure
server protected by SSL, the first characters of the address
will change from "http" to "https."
To help protect your account information, please keep
your password secure. We suggest that you pick a non-obvious
password that mixes numbers and letters. In addition, we
recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.
Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of
your passwords and any account information.
Remember to sign out of your account, and close your
browser window whenever you leave your computer. This is to
ensure that others cannot access your personal information,
because your computer may be accessible to others or used in a
shared setting. The Movie Portal's Privacy Policy does not extend to
anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and
therefore beyond The Movie Portal's control, and is not to be applied
in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental
regulation.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Linking to other sites is an integral part of the functionality
of the Internet, including our Website. Any link to a page which
displays a URL other than a domain name that ends in
themovieportal.com in the address window of your browser is a link to
a site outside of our service and thus outside the control of
The Movie Portal. This includes links to our suppliers of content on
the service, affiliates, and links to any other advertisers and
third parties that may be linked to The Movie Portal. These other sites
may send their own cookies to you, collect data or solicit
personal information. The Movie Portal cannot guarantee and is not
responsible for the content of outside sites.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal
information on other sites (for example via message boards or
chat), that information can be collected and used by people you
don't know. While The Movie Portal strives to protect our visitors'
personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the
security and privacy of any information you disclose at other
sites, and you do so at your own risk.
HOW TO REVIEW, UPDATE OR
DELETE YOUR REGISTRATION INFORMATION
As part of your use of our services, you are responsible for
updating your submitted registration information so that it is
both current and complete. In order to update your registration
information, please access your account and make the
desired change..
Please note that by using our Website, you signify your
agreement to this Privacy Policy, as it may be amended from time
to time. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do
not use our Website or the services provided thereon. We reserve
the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy. We will
provide notice to you of any material changes by any reasonable
means including sending an email to the most recently updated
address in your account and/or posting such notice and
the amended policy on The Movie Portal Website. Your continued use
of our Website following changes to this Privacy Policy will

governed by the updated Privacy Policy.

purposes, etc. If you are no longer using our service and want
