INFORMATION AND COLLECTION USE
New Media Ventures is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. New Media Ventures collects information from our users at several different points on our Web site.

REGISTRATION
In order to use the Management Goes to the Movies^TM site, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration, users are required to give their contact information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact the users about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest. It is optional for users to provide demographic information (such as income level and gender, if requested) and unique identifiers (such as social security number, if requested), but it is encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.

ORDER
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customers' orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

COOKIES
A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on the Management Goes to the Movies^TM site. Once users close their browsers, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in any of our Sweepstakes, Contests or monthly Drawings that may take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance their experience on our site.

LOG FILES
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

LINKS
The Management Goes to the Movies^TM site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that New Media Ventures is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by the Management Goes to the Movies^TM Web site.

NEWSLETTER
If a user wishes to subscribe to the Management Goes to the Movies^TM newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address.

SURVEYS AND CONTESTS
From time to time, the Management Goes to the Movies^TM site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the users, therefore, have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address) and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Management Goes to the Movies^TM Web site.

SECURITY
The Management Goes to the Movies^TM Web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via this site, their information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers, such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer, becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked or open, when you are just "surfing." To learn more about SSL, click to our Transaction Security page.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desks. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy and what they can do to ensure our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.

If you have any questions about the security at the Management Goes to the Movies^TM Web site, you can send an email to us at information@MoviesForBusiness.com.

SPECIAL OFFERS
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and/or a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see choice and opt-out below.

SITE AND SERVICE UPDATES
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.

CORRECTION AND/OR UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code) or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data provided to us.

CHOICE AND OPT-OUT
Our users are given the opportunity to "opt-out" of having their information used for purposes not directly related to the Management Goes to the Movies^TM site at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form has an "opt-out" mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists.

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to us with "unsubscribe" typed in the subject line of the email they received or by emailing us directly at information@MoviesForBusiness.com.

Users of the Management Goes to the Movies^TM site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party or not.

NOTIFICATION OF CHANGES
Should New Media Ventures decide to change its privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Home Page so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
