At ShowBIZData.com (along with ShowBIZData Holdings, LLC and any websites or entities thereunder, collectively referred to as “ShowBIZData”), our objective is to provide you with the most comprehensive guide to the feature film industry on the Internet. To facilitate this goal, we collect visitor information to help us understand how our site can be most effectively enhanced. ShowBIZData considers your privacy to be of the utmost importance. We pledge to protect your confidentiality and personal information.
What information do we collect?
Much of the information on ShowBIZData is provided without us collecting any personally identifiable information from you. Accessing enhanced content features under our subscription plans requires registration.
Any information we do gather on our site falls into two categories: (i) personal information you voluntarily provide when you register with ShowBIZData including your full name, address, email and password; and (ii) tracking information collected as you navigate through our site.
What we do with the information we collect?
We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:
- To process your registration.
- Internal record keeping.
- To send you information regarding updates and improvements to the site.
- We may periodically send you, using the email address that you have provided, newsletters or promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information from our partners, which we think you may find interesting. (For details of ShowBIZData emails please see “Our Email Policy” below).
- From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes to help customize the site according to your interests.
- ShowBIZData collects anonymous, cumulative statistics on the fields and links that are visited, the search criteria that are input, and the URLs that users enter and exit from prior and subsequent to visiting ShowBIZData. We may share this data with content providers, as well as advertising and promotional partners, and use it to determine advertising fees, popularity of specific films and pages, and other viewing trends. This information is intended to enable us to tailor the content of ShowBIZData to viewer tastes and expectations.

Cookies
ShowBIZData utilizes an Internet browser device known as a "cookie," which is an electronic marker placed on the user's hard drive. Cookies allow us to know if a user linked from a specific advertiser or site, and whether they are a frequent visitor to ShowBIZData. Cookies are also used as a shortcut to provide us with voluntary user information, so that data need not be submitted each time a visitor returns to the site. Regardless of whether login data is recorded in a cookie, ShowBIZData always requires password confirmation before allowing a user to access or alter any personal information.
Security
ShowBIZData uses commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. When you enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). However, due to the design of the Internet, ever-changing technology and other factors outside of our control, we cannot guarantee that communications between you and our servers will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. ShowBIZData will have no liability for disclosure of personally identifiable information due to errors in transmission or unauthorized or unlawful acts of third parties.
Partners
ShowBIZData does not regulate the procedures and regulations of our advertisers, promotional partners, content providers, or other destinations to which our site links. Once you have used these links to leave our site we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information, which you provide whilst visiting such sites and this privacy statement does not govern such sites. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
Compliance with Legal Process
We may disclose personal information if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (i) comply with the law or with legal process; (ii) protect and defend our rights and intellectual property; (iii) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our website; or (iv) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public (among other things, this means that if you provide false information or attempt to pose as someone else, information about you may be disclosed as part of any investigation into your actions).
Children's Guidelines (COPPA Compliance)
Protecting the privacy of children is important to ShowBIZData. For that reason, our site is not structured specifically to attract anyone under 13, nor do we collect or maintain personally identifiable information at our sites from those who we actually know are under 13. Should we learn or be notified that we have collected information from users under the age of 13, we will immediately delete such personally identifiable information.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time. Any such changes will be posted on this page. If we make a significant or material change in the way we use your personal information, the change will be posted on this page thirty (30) days prior to taking effect and registered users will be notified via email.
