UPDATED: April 27, 2007
EUROVISION and EUROVISION.COM are registered trademarks of
Eurovision Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. All rights
reserved.
Thank you for visiting EUROVISION.COM, a Eurovision Corporation
("we" or "us") Web site. Your privacy is important to us. To better
protect your privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online
information practices and the choices you can make about the
collection and use of the personal information you submit on Web
pages where this policy is posted.
As we operate internationally, and many of our computer systems are
currently based in the United States, your personal data will be
processed by us in the U.S. where data protection and privacy
regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other
parts of the world, such as the European Union. If you create a user
account with this site as a visitor from outside the United States,
you will be asked during the initial registration to consent to the
collection and/or processing in the United States of your personally
identifiable information, which includes the use of cookies as
described below.

Regarding Updates
At some Eurovision Corporation Web sites, you can order products,
enter contests, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion,
subscribe to one of our services such as our online newsletters, or
participate in one of our online forums or communities. The types of
personally identifiable information that may be collected at these
pages include: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax
number, credit card information, and information about your
interests in and use of various products, programs, and services.
At some other Eurovision Corporation Web sites, you can submit
information about other people. For example, you might submit a
person's name and e-mail address to send an electronic greeting card
and, if you order a gift online and want it sent directly to the
recipient, you might submit the recipient's name and address. The
types of personally identifiable information that may be collected
about other people at these pages include: recipient's name,
address, e-mail address, and telephone number.
At certain parts of some of our sites, only persons who provide us
with the requested personally identifiable information will be able
to order products, programs, and services, or otherwise participate
in the site's activities and offerings. We also collect certain
non-personally identifiable information when you visit many of our
Web pages such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape,
Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using
(e.g., Microsoft Windows or Mac OS), and the domain name of your
Internet service provider (e.g., America Online, Earthlink).
We use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your
requests for our products, programs, and services, to respond to
your inquiries about our offerings, and to offer you other products,
programs or services that we believe may be of interest to you.
We use this information to communicate with you, such as to notify
you when you have won one of our contests or when we make changes to
our subscriber agreements, to fulfill a request by you for an online
newsletter, or to contact you about your account with us.
We use the information that you provide about others to enable us to
send them your gifts or cards. From time to time, we also may use
this information to offer our products, programs, or services to
them.
The information we collect in connection with our online forums and
communities is used to provide an interactive experience. We use
this information to facilitate participation in these online forums
and communities and, from time to time, to offer you products,
programs, or services.
If you choose to submit content for publication (e.g., a "letter to
our editors"), we may publish your screen name and other information
you have provided to us. We use the non-personally identifiable
information that we collect to improve the design and content of our
site and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We
also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze site
usage, as well as to offer you products, programs, or services.
We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to
legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a
subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law
enforcement agency's request or where we believe it is necessary to
investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities,
suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the
physical safety of any person, violations of our terms of use, or as
otherwise required by law. In addition, we may transfer information
about you if we are acquired by or merged with another company.
Agents and contractors of Eurovision Corporation who have access to
personally identifiable information are required to protect this
information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy
by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other
than to carry out the services they are performing for Eurovision
Corporation.
Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against
unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that
personally identifiable information that we collect will never be
disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
At some places on our Site, we may ask your permission to disclose
personally identifiable information about you to companies whose
practices are not covered by this Privacy Policy (e.g., other
marketers, magazine publishers, retailers, participatory databases
and non-profit organizations) that want to market products or
services to you. If at some point you grant us permission to
transfer your information for these purposes and later decide that
you no longer want us to do so, simply send us an email at
privacy@eurovision.com and we will edit your preferences
accordingly.
We may, on occasion, combine information we receive online with
outside records to enhance our ability to market to you those
products or services that may be of interest to you. When
registering with our site, we provide you with an opportunity to
express your preferences with respect to receiving details about
other products and services from Eurovision Corporation businesses
and about products and services from selected third parties. If you
ever decide in the future that you would like to update these
preferences, you may do so by sending us an email at
privacy@eurovision.com and we will edit your preferences
accordingly. Finally, we will not use or transfer personally
identifiable information provided to us in ways unrelated to the
ones described above without also providing you with an opportunity
to opt out of these unrelated uses.
Collection of Information by Third Party Sites and Sponsors
Some of our sites contain links to other sites whose information
practices may be different than ours. Visitors should consult the
other sites' privacy policies, as we have no control over
information that is submitted to, or collected by, these third
parties.
We sometimes may offer content (e.g., contests, sweepstakes, or
promotions) that is sponsored by or co-branded with identified third
parties. By virtue of these relationships, the third parties may
obtain personally identifiable information that visitors voluntarily
submit to participate in the site activity. We have no control over
these third parties' use of this information. The site will notify
you at the time of requesting personally identifiable information if
these third parties will obtain such information.
At some Eurovision Corporation Web sites, reputable third parties
may present or serve the advertisements. Our Privacy Policy does not
cover any use of information that a third party ad server may
collect from you. For more information on third party ad servers,

Cookies and Other Technical Information
We send "cookies" to your computer primarily to enhance your online
experience. "Cookies" are files that can identify you as a unique
customer and store your personal preferences as well as technical
information (including click through and click stream data). Cookies
can either be permanent (i.e., they remain on your computer until
you delete them) or temporary (i.e., they last only until you close
your browser). We may also use "Web beacons" that monitor your use
of our sites. Web beacons (or Web bugs) are small strings of code
that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a Web page
for the purpose of transferring data, such as the IP (Internet
Protocol) address of the computer that downloaded the page on which
the Web beacon appears, the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the
page on which the Web beacon appears, the time the page containing
the Web beacon was viewed, the types of browser that fetched the Web
beacon and the identification number of any cookie on the computer
previously placed by that server. When corresponding with you via
HTML capable e-mail, Web beacons let us know whether you received
and opened our e-mail.
If you choose to furnish the site with personally identifiable
information, this information can be stored in or linked to other
data stored in the cookies/Web beacons.
By accepting this Privacy Policy, you specifically agree to our use
of cookies and Web beacons as described herein. You may adjust your
browser to reject cookies from us or from any other Web site.
Additionally, by setting your Web browser to display HTML e-mails as
text only, you may be able to prevent the use of some Web beacons.
Please consult the "Help" section of your browser for more
information. However, certain areas of our sites can only be
accessed in conjunction with cookies or similar devices and you
should be aware that disabling cookies or similar devices might
prevent you from accessing some of our content.
We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized
access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we
collect online.
How You Can Access or Correct Information
To access the personally identifiable information that this
Eurovision Corporation Web site has collected about you online from
the pages on which this Privacy Policy is posted, to correct factual
errors in such information, or to update your interests, preferences
or other portions of your user profile, please send an email to
privacy@eurovision.com.
To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps
to help verify your identity before granting access or making
corrections.
Visitors to this site may participate in many activities without
providing any personally identifiable information. However, if a
user wants to participate in certain of our interactive features, we
ask the user to register and provide us with the following
information: the user's e-mail address and age information. When the
person who registers indicates that he or she is under 13, we will
either collect no personally identifiable information from that
individual or inform the child that a parent's verifiable consent is
required or we will collect the e-mail address of the user's parent
in addition to the user's e-mail address. We use the parent's e-mail
address to seek the parent's verifiable consent or notify the parent
of his/her child's online activities and enable the parent to
unsubscribe his/her child from a newsletter or other similar
activity. If a user is under 13, we will not condition his/her
participation in an online activity on the disclosure of more
information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the
activity. We do not share children's information with outside third
parties not bound by this Privacy Policy. If you would like to
review any personally identifiable information that we have
collected online from your child, have this information deleted,
and/or request that there be no further collection or use of your
child's information or if you have questions about these information
practices, you may contact us at privacy@eurovision.com, or at
Eurovision Corporation, 1221 N. Dearborn Street, Suite A, Chicago,
Illinois 60610, U.S.A, 1-312-944-4484.
Notification Regarding Updates
From time to time, we may update this privacy notice. We will notify
you about material changes in the way we treat personally
identifiable information by placing a notice on our site. We
encourage you to periodically check back and review this policy so
that you always will know what information we collect, how we use
it, and to whom we disclose it.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or
its implementation you may contact us at: privacy@eurovision.com or
at Eurovision Corporation, 1221 N. Dearborn Street, Suite A,
Chicago, Illinois 60610, U.S.A, 1-312-944-4484.
