1. Overview of Privacy Policy:
Your privacy is very important to Romin. Romin has established this Privacy Policy to explain to you how your information is collected, protected, used and disclosed by Romin in connection with your use of our services available under the domain and subdomains of “CINEMASCORE.COM”.
Romin is dedicated to protecting your privacy and handling any personally identifiable information we obtain from you with care and respect. When this Privacy Policy uses the term “personally identifiable information,” we mean information that identifies a particular individual, such as the individual’s name, address, e-mail, and phone number. Personally identifiable information is also referred to in this Privacy Policy as “personal information.”
Your use of the Website, including any dispute concerning privacy, is subject to this privacy statement and the applicable Terms of Use Agreement (as both may be modified from time to time by us in accordance with this Agreement). BY USING THE WEBSITE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE PRACTICES SET OUT IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT AND THE APPLICABLE TERMS OF USE. Please carefully review this policy so you understand our data privacy practices.
We may use personal information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in this Privacy Policy at any time. However, should our privacy practices change, we will post the latest policy on our Website and indicate the indicate the date the Privacy Policy was last updated. For Registered Users, we will notify you when you sign into your account about our updated Terms of Use (including this Privacy Policy) and ask you to agree to such changes in order to continue using the Website. By accepting our Terms of Use for this Website, you consent to our use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2. Information You Provide to Us:
Typically the personally identifiable information we receive comes directly from users like you who are interested in using the Website’s Services. In general, this information includes the user’s login name, password, real name, and e-mail address.
In order to register as a member of the Website and to use the Website’s Services, we may require you to provide personally identifiable information as indicated on the forms throughout the Website. Where possible, we indicate which fields are required and which fields are optional. You always have the option to not provide information by choosing not to use a particular service or feature.
3. Information Collected Through Technology:
We collect information through technology to make the Website more interesting and useful. For instance, when you come to the Website, your IP address is collected. An IP address is often associated with the network through which you enter the Internet, like your ISP or your company. At times, we also use IP addresses to collect information regarding the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Website. We also use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our servers, and to administer the Website and we may use your IP Address to identify cases where the website and its proprietary information is being accessed by unauthorized users.
When you view our Website, we may store a small amount of information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a “cookie” or similar file. Cookies are small files stored on your computer, not on the Website. We use cookies in our web tools, to deliver content specific to your interests, and to prevent you from reentering all your registration data at each connection. Through your web browser you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookie settings.
Other information that is automatically collected includes your computer’s operating system, the browser type, the address of a referring web site, and the time and date of your visit. We may use this information to protect, enhance or update our Website and to prevent unauthorized access to the website database.
Our Website may also use a variety of technical methods for tracking purposes, such as pixel tags. We may also use these technical methods to analyze the traffic patterns on the Website, such as the frequency with which our users visit various parts of the Website.
Some advertisements may be managed and placed on the Website by third parties. Third-party advertisers who place advertisements on the Website may also use cookies and pixel tags to collect non-personally identifiable information when you click on or move your cursor over one of their banner advertisements. Once you’ve clicked on an advertisement and have left the Website, our Privacy Policy no longer applies and you must read the privacy policy of the advertiser to see how your personal information will be handled on their site.
4. Security:
We use procedural and technical safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy, including multiple levels of encryption and firewalls consistent with a website of our size. We use encryption where appropriate to safeguard your data. We use proprietary security measures which are applied to all repositories and transfers of user information. We will exercise reasonable care in providing secure transmission of information between your computer and our servers, but given that no information transmitted over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us over the Internet and hence accept no liability for any unintentional disclosure.
If third parties unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications to trace your personally identifiable information, or an external user illegally acquires your personally identifiable information from the Website, we will not be liable for any eventual consequences.
5. Use of Personally Identifiable Information:
We may use any information you provide (including your personal information) to facilitate the services you request, troubleshoot problems, identify abuse of our services, identify violation of our Terms of Use, measure consumer interest in our services, and enhance our Website. We may sometimes hire third party companies to help provide the services offered to you on the Website, in which case, there may be a need to share your information with these companies. We may compare and review your personal information for errors, omissions and for accuracy. We may also supplement personally identifiable information that we have collected directly from our users with other information that we obtain from third party partners.
We may use personal information to improve our content and services. We may turn personally identifiable information into statistical aggregate information (that no longer has personally identifiable data associated with it) that we use to improve our content and services, and/or to provide additional content or services to users. You agree that we may use personal information to contact you and deliver notifications to you. We also reserve the right to send notifications of any changes or new features of our Website. By accepting the Terms of Use, you agree to receive these notifications.
We may disclose personal information in good faith to appropriate law enforcement authorities in case of fraudulent transactions or other illegal and/or criminal activities. In response to a verified request by law enforcement, immigration, customs or other government officials relating to a criminal investigation or alleged illegal activity, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your name, email address, and any other additional personally identifiable information we may maintain about you, with a subpoena or comparable legal process.
We may also take your personally identifiable information and make it non-personally identifiable, either by combining it with information about other individuals, or by removing characteristics (such as your name) that make the information personally identifiable to you. There are no restrictions under this Privacy Policy upon our right to aggregate or de-personalize your personal information, and we may use and/or share the resulting non-personally identifiable information with third parties in any way.

The data collection, use and security practices of the linked site may differ from the practices of the Website. You should familiarize yourself with the Privacy Policy and security practices of the linked website. Those are the policy and practices that will apply to your use of the linked website, NOT our policy and practices.
