EFFECTIVE DATE: The most recent version of this
Privacy Policy, as revised, is effective as of March 18, 2006.
PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy applies to certain Web sites which are owned
and/or operated by or on behalf of Cast Me! Productions, LLC and/or
other affiliated entities controlled by, or under common control
with, such parties (each such web site being individually referred
to herein as the "Web Site"). If you have arrived at this Privacy
Policy by "clicking" on an authorized link from a Web Site, then
this Privacy Policy applies to such Web Site, and the individual
entity which owns and/or operates the particular Web Site from which
you "clicked" to this Privacy Policy via an authorized link shall be
referred to herein as "Sponsor," "we" or "us." Sponsor respects the
privacy of its users, and this Privacy Policy explains what
information we collect on our Web Site and how we use such
information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. In addition,
please review the Terms of Use posted at the Web Site, which governs
your use of the Web Site. Your use of our Web Site indicates to us
that you have read and accepted our privacy practices, as outlined
in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
Applicability
Please note that this Privacy Policy only applies to Web Sites owned
and/or operated by or for Sponsor, and upon which Sponsor has placed
a "link" which, when "clicked", transfers you to this Privacy
Policy. It is not applicable to the individual web sites owned,
sponsored. While on our Web Site, you may encounter links to these
or other web sites or online material. If you "click" on a link to
such a third party, the "click" takes you off our Web Site and to a
third party's web site, which is beyond Sponsor's control. These
other web sites may set their own cookies, collect data, and/or have
their own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy only covers
information collected at the Web Site, and does not cover any
information collected by any other web site or offline by Sponsor
(unless otherwise specifically stated or disclosed by Sponsor), its
corporate affiliates, broadcast affiliates, licensees or any other
company, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any
other web site you visit.
In addition, please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to
any information you may disclose publicly in any chat rooms, message
boards, or similar web pages. You should keep in mind that whenever
you publicly disclose information about yourself online - for
example, via message boards or chat rooms - that information could
be collected and used by people that you do not know. In addition,
certain message boards and similar user forums may display IP
addresses (as defined below) along with the message poster's name
and message. Sponsor bears no responsibility for any action or
policies of any third parties who collect any information users may
disclose on the message boards, chat areas or other user forums, if
any, on the Web Site.
Information Sponsor Collects
Personally Identifiable Information:
Personally identifiable information is information that could
reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your name,
address, birth date or e-mail address), which we refer to in this
Privacy Policy as "PII." Generally, you may browse our Web Site
without providing us with PII. However, there may be times when we
ask you to provide us with certain PII, such as when you choose to
register with our Web Site and/or for newsletters or choose to
participate in an online contest, sweepstakes, survey or voting
procedure. We may also ask you to provide us with demographic
information or information regarding your interests, hobbies or
similar information. Sponsor reserves the right, at any time, to add
features to our Web Site that require you to register or otherwise
provide PII, including credit card information, or to require
registration to access our Web Site. You can choose not to provide
certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage
of or participate in some of the Web Site's features. We may combine
the information we collect with information available from other
sources, including information received from promotional partners or
other third parties. We may provide you the opportunity to e-mail a
friend an article, electronic greeting card or other special feature
from our Web Site. The e-mail addresses you supply us for those
activities will be used to send the requested e-mail and will not be
used to send you or your friend any other e-mail communications.
The Web Site does not knowingly collect PII from children under
thirteen (18) years of age:
This is not a Web site directed to children under the age of 18, and
Sponsor does not knowingly collect any information from children
under 18 years of age at the Web Site. If you are under 18 years of
age, do not send any information about yourself to Sponsor. If
Sponsor discovers that a child under the age of 18 has provided the
Web Site with PII, Sponsor will delete that child's PII from its
system.
Anonymous Information:
When you visit the Web Site, our web servers automatically collect
Web site usage information. Web site usage information is anonymous
information that describes how our visitors use and navigate our Web
Site, and it includes the number and frequency of visitors to each
web page and the length of their stays. We collect the anonymous
information automatically sent to us by your web browser, such as
browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited
prior and subsequent to visiting our Web Site, and IP address. We
also may determine what technology is available through your browser
in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page.
For example, we may determine that you have installed a version of
Flash, and we will then send you the appropriate Flash version of
the web page rather than an HTML page.
IP Addresses:
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or
network when you are on the Internet. When visitors request pages
from our Web Site, our servers log the visitor's IP address. We may
collect IP addresses for a variety of internal purposes, such as
system administration, to report aggregate information to our
business partners or to audit the number of visits to different
pages on our Web Site. Please note that some services within our Web
Site, such as certain message boards, may display IP addresses along
with the message poster's name and message.
Cookies:
Cookies are information files that our Web site may place on your
computer to provide extended functionality and to personalize your
experience at our Web Site. We may use cookies for a number of
purposes. For example, we may use cookies to track usage patterns on
the Web site and we may use cookies when we conduct polls and
sweepstakes to limit multiple responses and registrations. Or, we
may use cookies to record registration and personalization
information, enabling you to save your user name and password. We do
not store any PII in cookies, but we may link the cookie to any
information we collect. You may occasionally get cookies from our
advertisers, which is standard in the internet industry. We do not
control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to our
privacy policy. Visitors to our web site should check the privacy
policy of the advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies. You
can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this
in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is
possible that some parts of the Web Site will not operate correctly
if you disable cookies. You should consult with your browser's
provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling
cookies.
Sponsor's Use and Disclosure of Collected Information
Sponsor:
Sponsor may use your PII to provide the information or content you
have requested, to contact you or to fulfill prizes in connection
with a contest or sweepstakes, to contact you about Sponsor
programs, products, features or services, or for other purposes
disclosed at the time of collection. We may also use your PII to
contact you regarding your use of our Web Site or changes to our
Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or other policy or terms that affect
you and your use of our Web Site. If you e-mail someone else an
article, electronic greeting card or other special feature from our
Web Site, we will use the information you provide about someone else
to send that person the requested e-mail. Sponsor may use
information collected about our users to improve the content and
navigation of our Web Site, or for other internal purposes.
Third parties providing services on our behalf:
Sponsor may employ other companies and individuals to perform
functions on its behalf. Examples may include hosting the Web Site,
sending communications on our behalf, hosting message boards or
other user forums, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance,
creating, hosting and/or running contests/sweepstakes/games and
providing customer service. These third parties may have access to
our users' PII in order to provide these services to us or on our
behalf, but they are not permitted to use it for other purposes.
Other Third Parties:
Sponsor may disclose anonymous, aggregated user statistics to third
parties for a variety of purposes. For example, we may disclose how
many individuals visited certain areas of our Web Site, or how many
men or women receive our newsletter. Sponsor does not rent, sell or
otherwise disclose your PII to third parties unless disclosed to you
at the time such information is collected or unless you otherwise
give consent, other than in the following limited circumstances:
Legal Action:
Sponsor may disclose information about its users,
including PII, when legally required to do so, at the request of
governmental authorities conducting an investigation, to verify or
enforce compliance with the policies governing our Web Site and
applicable laws, or to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of
our Web Site. Sponsor may also disclose user information whenever we
believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability, to
protect or defend our rights or property or protect the safety,
rights or property of our users.
Corporate Change:
Sponsor may sell, transfer or otherwise disclose
user information, including PII, to a successor entity in connection
with a corporate merger, consolidation, the sale of substantially
all assets, or other fundamental corporate change respecting the Web
Site.
Security
Sponsor takes steps to secure the data you submit to us, including
limiting the number of people who have physical access to our user
data. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, Sponsor cannot ensure or
warrant the security of any information you transmit to Sponsor and
you do so at your own risk.
Consent to Transfer
The Web Site is operated in the United States. If you are located in
the European Union or elsewhere outside of the United States, please
be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred
to the United States. By using our Web Site, participating in any of
our services and/or providing us with your information, you consent
to this transfer.
Acceptance/Changes to Privacy Policy
By using the Web Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy
Policy. Sponsor reserves the right to modify, alter or otherwise
update this Privacy Policy at any time in its sole discretion. We
will post any changes here, so be sure to check back from time to
time. However, we will only use the PII you provide to the Web Site
in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, unless you give us
your consent.

Policy, please contact us at the address provided on the Web Site
