AMAMAT's Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part
of the operation of AMAMAT, we gather certain types of
information about AMAMAT.com users, and we would like to
explain the types of information we gather, what we do
with it and how to correct or change the information.
Information Collected By AMAMAT
AMAMAT collects two types of personally identifying
information from users: personal data (such as names and
e-mail addresses); and aggregated data (such as
information about traffic patterns on AMAMAT, for
example how many users log into AMAMAT on a daily
basis).
Personal Data
Personal data is collected when users provide personal
data to AMAMAT, for example in registering for
electronic newsletters, to become a fan of a particular
artist, or other membership services, in answering
surveys, purchasing items from AMAMAT, and registering
for contests and other promotional opportunities
provided by AMAMAT. Also, we collect the e-mail
addresses of users who post messages to our message
boards and chat areas.
We use third-party companies to serve ads and collect
non-personally identifiable information (e.g.,
the pages you visit, and which links you click, which
ads you see and click on, and the categories of search
terms you enter) when you visit our web site. These
companies may use the information outlined above (which
does not include your name, address, email address or
telephone number) about your visits to this and other
web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods
and services of interest to you. These companies often
use a cookie or third party web beacon to collect this
information. If you would like more information about
this practice and to know your choices about not having
this information used by these companies,
click here (link to the NAI universal user opt-out).
Aggregated Information
Aggregated information, such as which pages users access
or visit and information volunteered by users, such as
survey information and/or site registrations, is
collected through various methods. For example, AMAMAT
collects IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is
automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're
surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve
up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by
its IP address, and when you request a page from AMAMAT,
our servers log your IP address. AMAMAT does not link IP
addresses to anything personally identifiable, so
although your session will be logged, you will remain
anonymous to us. AMAMAT collects IP addresses for the
purposes of system administration and to provide
aggregate data to advertisers about the volume of use on
AMAMAT.
Use of Cookies
AMAMAT also uses "cookies" to collect information. A
cookie is a small data file that most major Web sites
write to your hard drive for record keeping purposes
when you visit them. Cookies allow AMAMAT to measure
activity on the www.AMAMAT.com site ("Site") and to
improve your user experience, for example by remembering
your passwords and viewing preferences, thus allowing
you to visit various member-only parts of the Site
without re-registering. Cookies are used by AMAMAT to
measure activity on the Site and make improvements and
updates based on which areas are popular and which are
not. AMAMAT does not use cookies to retrieve information
from your computer that was not originally sent in a
cookie.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers,
which is standard in the Internet industry. AMAMAT does
not control these cookies, and these cookies are not
subject to AMAMAT's privacy policies.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If
you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to
alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is
possible that some parts of the Site, such as the
member-only areas and shopping, contest and game areas,
will not function properly if you do so.
Use of Information Collected by AMAMAT
AMAMAT uses both the personal and aggregated information
we collect for multiple purposes. The information is
used to improve the content of the Site, to customize
the content and/or layout of the Site for each
individual user and to notify users about updates to the
Site or promotional offers or opportunities that we
believe will be of interest to you. In addition, any
content you submit to the Site (videos, voting,
comments, etc.) will be publicly available. From time to
time employees may examine this content or other user
behavior to confirm that the Terms and Conditions of Use
are not being violated. When you send email or other
communication to AMAMAT.com, we may retain those
communications in order to process your inquiries,
respond to your requests and improve our services.
AMAMAT shares aggregated information with third parties
for both advertising and promotional purposes. AMAMAT
may also share personal information with prescreened
third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.
AMAMAT will try to provide users with an opportunity to
decline this service when such information is requested
from you online.
AMAMAT may also share information with consultants and
affiliates for internal business purposes and may
divulge personal information if such information is
subpoenaed, or if AMAMAT believes that any user has
committed unlawful acts or acts that endanger the health
or safety of another user or of the general public. In
some situations, we will share your personal
information, on a confidential basis, with third parties
who perform a particular service on our behalf, such as
sending e-mails. Also, AMAMAT may be sold or transferred
to another entity. Should such an event occur, customer
information will of course be one of the transferred
assets.
AMAMAT may use third party advertising companies to
serve ads when you visit our sites. These companies may
use information (not including your name, address, email
address or telephone number) about your visits to our
sites and to other Web sites in order to provide
advertisements on this site and other sites about goods
and services of interest to you. In addition, AMAMAT may
share with such companies Web site usage information
about visitors to our sites for the purpose of managing
and targeting advertisements on our sites. For this
purpose, we and our third-party advertising sponsors
note some of the pages you visit on our sites through
the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs).
Children and Privacy
AMAMAT encourages parents and guardians to spend time
with their children online, and to be fully familiar
with the sites visited by their children. At various
places on AMAMAT.com, AMAMAT will ask whether users are
under the age of 18, or 13, for example when requesting
personal information from users, or AMAMAT may ask for
parental consent. However, while AMAMAT requests this
information or permission, AMAMAT relies on users to be
truthful in responding to these questions.
Individuals Under 13
No information should be submitted to or posted on the
Site by users under the age of 13 years without the
consent of their parent or guardian. AMAMAT does not
provide any personally identifying information,
regardless of its source, to any third party for any
purpose whatsoever unless disclosed during collection.
Users under the age of 13 are generally asked not to
participate in contests or other promotional
opportunities.
Individuals 13 Through 17
AMAMAT requests that children under the age of 18 do not
submit or post information to the Site without a parent
or guardian's consent. AMAMAT may collect information,
including personally identifying information, from users
between the ages of 13 and 17, and with the permission
of their parent or guardian this information may be used
for marketing and promotional purposes by AMAMAT and may
be shared with prescreened third parties. If a user or
their parent or guardian changes their mind with respect
to such use, such user, parent or guardian may stop that
use – either by e-mail request or by modifying his/her
registration information online as described above in
"Use of Information Collected by AMAMAT".
Message Boards and Chat
Please remember that information posted to message
boards and chat areas becomes public information. Use
caution when posting. Users under the age of 18 should
be especially careful not to provide any personally
identifying information while using chat rooms or
message boards. As set forth in AMAMAT's Terms and
Conditions of Use, users of chat rooms and message
boards must follow acceptable standards of behavior when
posting messages online.
Links to Other Sites
It is important to note that AMAMAT contains links to
sites other than www.AMAMAT.com, and that those sites
may not follow the same privacy policies as AMAMAT. For
instance, if you click on an advertisement on
AMAMAT.com, this will take you away from AMAMAT.com and
to an entirely different site. This can include links
from advertisers, content providers and partners who may
use AMAMAT's logo and/or style as a result of a
co-branding agreement. These sites may send their own
cookies to you, and may collect data and make uses of it
that AMAMAT would not.
The use of any information or materials that you may
access at these external sites is purely voluntary. You
should not rely on their contents without independent
and thorough review of the accuracy, completeness. These
external sites may also refer to specific commercial
products, processes, or services by trade name,
trademark, service mark, manufacturer or otherwise.
Unless AMAMAT has provided specific authority, such
references in no way indicate our endorsement,
recommendation or preference. This section should be
read in conjunction with the full Terms and Conditions
of Use, below.
Additional Information
No transmission of data over the Internet is guaranteed
to be completely secure. It may be possible for third
parties not under the control of AMAMAT to intercept or
access transmissions or private communications
unlawfully. While we strive to protect your personal
information, AMAMAT cannot ensure or warrant the
security of any information you transmit to us. Any such
transmission is done at your own risk.
Under no circumstances, including but not limited to
negligence, shall AMAMAT be liable for any special,
incidental or consequential damages that result from the
use of information or materials on our sites, even if
AMAMAT or an authorized representative of AMAMAT, has
been advised of the possibility of such damages. This
section also should be read in conjunction with the full
Terms and Conditions of Use.
USE OF THIS SITE SIGNIFIES YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF USE AND PRIVACY POLICY.
AMAMAT reserves the right to change this policy at any
time by notifying users of the existence of a revised
privacy policy by posting it on the Site. You can send
e-mail to us with any further questions at
support@AMAMAT.com.
