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,

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.
