Cinequest Online values your privacy and is committed to protecting it. We have created the following Privacy Statement that sets forth the privacy principles that we follow. The Cinequest Online Privacy Statement was last updated on June, 6th. 2004.
INFORMATION THAT MAY BE COLLECTED
The following categories of information are intended to help clarify what information may be collected when you use the Kontiki Delivery Grid (also known as the “Kontiki Relay Network” or the “Kontiki Delivery Network”) when viewing movies, shorts, trailers, and other video clips from Cinequest Online, and how that information may be used.
1) Personal Information
What is it?
Personal Information is information that could allow someone to identify or contact you, such as your name, your email address, or a username or password, or information about other personal characteristics that you may choose to provide.
When is it collected?
Cinequest requests Personal Information from you when you are invited to register with Cinequest Online. You may decide if you would like to share it with Cinequest by registering. If you choose not to register with Cinequest, the information will not be collected, but you will also not be able to receive personalized communications from Cinequest, or view selected video content from Cinequest Online.
How will this information be used?
If you provide it to Kontiki, your Personal Information will be used by Kontiki to communicate with you about the Kontiki Delivery Grid and Kontiki’s related products and services. Kontiki will not disclose your Personal Information to any third party in a manner that would make it possible to personally identify you.
2) Usage Information
What is it?
Usage Information is information about the delivery and playback of content using the Kontiki software, including the name of content being delivered and the number of times it has been played.
When is it collected?
The Kontiki software collects Usage Information while you are using the Kontiki Delivery Grid. This information is also collected after a piece of content has been delivered and after it has been played.
How will this information be used?
The Kontiki software collects Usage Information to allow content providers to better understand what their content users are interested in. Kontiki may share Usage Information with content providers or other parties, but does not disclose information in any way in which Usage Information would be personally identifiable. However, if you provide a content provider with Personal Information such as a username and/or password (see “Personal Information” above), that content provider may measure Usage Information for its specific content. Accordingly, before giving Personal Information to any content provider, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with its privacy policies to make sure you are comfortable with how your Usage Information may be used or disclosed.
3) Client Identifier
What is it?
A Client Identifier (Client ID) is used to indicate a unique installation of a product, and is found in many popular software applications like media players.
When is it collected?
You are automatically assigned a Client ID when you download the Kontiki software. Even if you choose not to register with Kontiki and decide not to provide your Personal Information, you will be assigned a Client ID. All communications between the Kontiki software on your computer and the servers that are part of the Kontiki Delivery Grid use the Client ID to identify them.
How will this information be used?
We use the Client ID for the following reasons:
Security: The Client ID is used to verify that the deliveries you receive through the Kontiki Delivery Grid are correct. The Client ID also helps ensure that unauthorized third parties do not send incorrect or unauthorized content to other users on the Kontiki Delivery Grid.
Enabling the Grid: The Client ID enables the Kontiki Delivery Grid to operate more quickly by storing your deliveries on your computer and relaying them to other users on the Kontiki Delivery Grid who request the same content (if you are participating in the Kontiki Delivery Grid). Any such relaying or storage of content is carried out by the Kontiki Delivery Grid using the Client ID. Only content originating from Kontiki or its customers that you have requested for delivery through the Kontiki Delivery Grid may be relayed.
4) Diagnostic Information
What is it?
Diagnostic Information is information that allows performance of the Kontiki Delivery Grid to be monitored, including IP addresses and other information relating to the delivery of content (e.g., successful delivery rates, download times and locations, etc.).
When is it collected?
This information is collected during transmission of content and after a delivery has been completed.
How will this information be used?
Diagnostic Information is used to monitor performance of the Kontiki Delivery Grid and to optimize its performance.
5) Cookies
What is it?
"Cookies" are files that are stored on your computer. Cookies are commonly used by web sites and applications that utilize the web in order to personalize the user experience.
When is it collected?
The Kontiki software will set a cookie when you first launch it. This cookie will be automatically deleted if you do not launch the Kontiki software again within 30 days. A new cookie will be set if you launch the Kontiki software again after this 30 day period expires. Most Internet browsers allow you to disable cookies if you wish. If you disable cookies, some of the functionality of the Kontiki software may not be available to you.
How will this information be used?
The information stored in your cookie is used by the Kontiki software when you have been logged in for longer than 30 minutes. This information lets the Kontiki Delivery Grid know that you are still logged in and active on the grid.
SENDING KONTIKI MATERIALS TO A THIRD PARTY
The Kontiki Delivery Grid enables you to invite third parties to download the Kontiki software in order to view particular pieces of content or to use the Kontiki software (“E-Mail This”). This feature will ask you to provide us your name and e-mail address as well as the e-mail address of the third party to whom you are sending materials through the Kontiki Delivery Grid. These addresses will not be used for marketing purposes without your prior consent.
SECURITY
Cinequest cares about keeping your personal information safe. We use industry standard software and procedures to secure your personal information. We also encrypt messages relating to content requests and deliveries between your computer and the Kontiki Delivery Grid.
CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT
Please note that Kontiki’s Privacy Statement may change over time. We will post a notification on our website when changes are made. |
