CORPORATE PRIVACY POLICY
ImaginAsian Radio Privacy Policy
Last updated on January 14, 2004
ImaginAsian
Radio ("iaRadio")
iaRadio
supports a general policy of openness about personal data collection and use.
We have adopted and implemented this Privacy Policy as part of our commitment
to protecting your personal information
from misuse.
This Privacy
Policy applies to our information-gathering
and dissemination practices for this site: imaginasianradio.com (the
"Website"). This Privacy Policy also applies to iaRadio services
contained on other sites, so long as such services contain iaRadio's branding,
and iaRadio has provided a link to this Privacy Policy in connection with such
services.
What information does iaRadio collect on its Website?
iaRadi collects both personal information
and aggregated information on its
Website. We discuss our collection and use of different kinds of information below.
Personal
Information
You do not have to provide personal information
to use our Website. However, particular services provided through the Website
may require that you furnish personal information.
We collect such personal information
only when you provide it to us - for example, in answering surveys; entering
contests and sweepstakes; registering to receive electronic newsletters, television listings and other
materials; participating in message boards, book clubs, and quizzes; purchasing
items from our stores; and taking part in other promotional opportunities. You
may be asked to provide your contact
information (such as your name,
postal address, telephone numbers and/or email address), financial information (such as credit card numbers) and
demographic information (such as
your Zip code, age, or income level) in connection with your use of such
services.
Contact information is used to respond to your inquiries; to
notify you if you have won a contest or a quiz and to send products and
services ordered from our Website. You also may receive periodic mailings from
us with information on new products
and services, updates to our Website, or upcoming events.
We may share
our user mailing list with reputable and carefully screened firms for marketing
or promotional purposes. We may also forward information
to you regarding third party products or services, without disclosing your
personal information to such third
parties. You
may opt out of having your contact information as part of our mailing list at any time
(see the Opt-Out Section below).
You may be
asked to provide information
(occupation, hobbies, short biography, your homepage, etc.) in creating a user
profile in our public forums. If you choose to provide this information, it will be accessible to other users of
the Website (See Public Forums Section below).
We use IP
addresses to calculate Website usage levels. Whenever you are on the Internet,
a number (an IP address) is automatically assigned to your computer. This
number is identified and logged automatically whenever you visit our Website.
Collecting IP addresses is standard practice on the Internet, and is done
automatically by many Websites.
Demographic information, as well as usage data calculated from
logging IP addresses, is shared with advertisers and third parties only on an
aggregated basis. (See the Aggregated Information Section below.)
Whenever we
request your personal information on
our Website, to the extent that we intend to use it in a manner not disclosed
in this Privacy Policy, we will try to explain to you how we intend to use it,
and to provide you with a choice to decline certain uses. In addition, if
we plan to post any of your personal information
on our Website, we will also notify you of this possibility either when you
provide information to us or prior
to posting the information.
Please note that by entering any contest or quiz, you consent to our announcing
your name and hometown as part of any list of winners.
We may also
disclose personal information if we
believe that we are required to do so (i) by law, (ii) to comply with legal
process or governmental requests, (iii) to enforce our Terms of Service, or
(iv) to protect the rights, property, or safety of iaRadio users or the public.
Our Policy on Disclosing Your Information to Parties Other
than iaRadio
We
only share or disclose your personal information
with companies other than iaRadio when it is required by law, it is necessary
to operate the website or our website services, to protect the safety of our
visitors, employees or property, and/or when disclosure is consistent with
iaRadio practices for services that are similarly provided offline. We may also
share or rent online subscription information
with other entities for various purposes such as marketing or promotional
purposes. Visitors submitting online subscriptions who do not want their
personal information shared with other
entities may be able to either grant their approval on how their personal information will be used before it is collected
("opt-in"), or choose to deny use of their information
for additional purposes ("opt-out").
Opt-Out
You may inform us if you wish to
remove your personal information
from our database, and we will endeavor to comply with your request as soon as
reasonably possible. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes, and there
may also be residual information
that will remain within our databases and other records. We reserve the
right, from time to time, to re-contact
former users of our Website.

iaRadio
is a subsidiary of ImaginAsian Entertainment, Incorporated. (“IAEI”) We may in
the future share personal information
with IAEI, our affiliates or other
entities for other purposes.
If
we decide to enter into other sharing arrangements, we will disclose in this
Privacy Policy the name of the entity(s) that we will share information with, what type of personal information will be shared, how the information will be used, and whether you will be
able to opt-in or opt-out of the sharing of your personal information. We currently conduct joint activities
with other members of the ImaginAsian Entertainment Inc. family; however, we
will not share individual visitors' personal information
with these entities unless we provide notice in this Privacy Policy.
When
visitors send an e-mail to us, we will protect your e-mail address and other
personal contact information. However, we may disclose the content of
your e-mail to other persons. Please see our Terms Of Service. We may share
your personal information with our
operational providers or those persons, companies or agents who provide support
for the internal operations of the website, such as contest fulfillment services,
maintenance and technical services, and e-commerce and auction contractors. If
you are purchasing goods, merchandise or services on this website and use a
credit card to complete the transaction, our operational providers may share
your personal information and credit
card number with a ticket agent, a credit card processing and/or a
shipping/fulfillment company in order to complete your order.
We
may provide aggregate information
about our visitors to our advertisers, sponsors, promotional partners, parents
and affiliates, such as how many
persons visited a particular page or activity, the average age of our visitors
on the site or page, or the likes and dislikes of our visitors, but this information does not include personal information about any individual visitor. We may
also obtain geographic information
such as zip code clustering from other sources. This aggregate information will not reveal any personal information about a specific visitor.
Aggregated
Information
We collect information through our
Website relating to traffic levels on our Website - for example, the total
number of users visiting particular pages. We also collect and analyze
aggregate demographic information,
the results of surveys as well as information
relating to the search functionality on the Website.
Aggregated information is helpful to us for improving the
services we offer and for marketing purposes. We may share aggregated information, which does not personally identify you,
with our advertisers, business partners, or other companies.
Use of
Cookies by iaRadio
Cookies are data that a Website transfers to an individual's computer for
record keeping purposes. Cookies, which are an industry standard used by most
Websites, can facilitate a user's ongoing access to and use of a site. Cookies
do not cause damage to your computer systems or files.
We use a
temporary cookie to track the products you have chosen to purchase while
shopping on our Website. The cookie expires once you are done shopping. The
cookie saves you the trouble of entering information
again during a single visit. We also use cookies in our discussion areas to
eliminate the need to log in every time you use the book clubs and other
message boards on our Website.
In addition,
from time to time, we may use cookies and other technologies to gather
non-personally identifiable information
to track the popularity of certain pages of our Website; the success of our
email notifications and ad campaigns on third-party sites, based on
click-through rates; and other similar information,
all of which assists us in seeking to improve our Website and related services.
If you do not
want information collected through
the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows
you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or
accepting the transfer of a cookie to your computer. You should note, however,
that declining the cookies may make it difficult for you to make purchases on
our Website and will make entering our discussion areas more burdensome.
Public
Forums
We may make discussion areas, message boards, and/or clubs available to our
users. Please remember that any information
that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information,
and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
To register
for the public forums, you will need to select a screen name and provide your
email address. A password is required to log into the public
forums. Depending on the site, you will either select your own password
at the time of registration or will receive an email notification from us with
a randomly generated initial password.
Whenever you
contribute to a public forum, your screen name, linking to your profile, will
automatically appear with your post. When you log into the discussion forums,
you will be able to set up your profile, which you may edit at any time. You
have the ability to change your password within the profile. Your password will
never be visible to other users as part of your profile. Providing information as part of the profile is entirely
optional.
If you have
indicated as part of your profile that you would like to accept private
messages, other users will be able to communicate with you by sending you
"private messages," without actual knowledge of your email address.
On all other
public forums on our Website, information
that you provide as part of your user profile, except your password and email
address, will be accessible to other users of the site by clicking on your
screen name associated with any of your postings. However, you may also opt to
display your email address with your posts.
Service
Providers
We work with third parties who provide services including but not limited to
website hosting, order processing and fulfillment, credit card clearance,
e-commerce affiliation, data analysis, emailing and other services of an administrative nature. Personal information, including financial information, is shared with such third parties for
the purpose of providing such services.
Security
We have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse, and
alteration of the information under
our control. Any time we ask for a credit card number we transmit that credit
card number in an encrypted format. We use industry-standard, SSL (secure
socket layer) encryption. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet
can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect
your personal information, we cannot
ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at
your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to
ensure its security on our systems.
Links to
Third Party Sites
Our Website may contain links to third-party Websites. The linked sites are not
under the control of iaRadio, and we are not responsible for the privacy
practices or the contents of any linked site, or any link contained in a linked
site. We are providing these links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of
a link on our Website does not imply endorsement of the linked site by iaRadio.
Third-Party
Ad Serving
The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the
Internet industry, and our advertisers may assign their own cookies to your
browser. Through cookie and other technology, advertisers may collect certain
non-personally identifiable information
about you from your visits to our Website and to other sites where ads are
served by such advertisers. This information
may be used to deliver tailored ads to you. We do not control this process, and
these cookies are subject to advertisers' policies. However, the advertisers’
do not obtain, through use of cookies or otherwise, any personally identifiable
information from us or our Website.
Assignment
We reserve the right to transfer any and all information
that we collect from users of the Website to a third party in the event that we
sell or transfer substantially all of our assets related to the Website to such
third party.
