This Privacy Policy
describes the privacy practices for the ION International
Animation, Games and Short Film Festival (ION) website
located at http://www.ionfilmfest.com.
Please read this
Privacy Policy carefully to understand how your information
will be treated as you make use of the services we
offer. We may change or modify this Privacy Policy
from time to time, so please check this page periodically.
- Information Collection
and Use. We will not sell, share or rent any
information to others in ways other than as disclosed
in this Privacy Policy. Please note that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, this Privacy Policy
does not cover information or content that you
submit to our site for the purpose of publicly
posting such information or content.
- Registration. In
order to use certain services
available on our site, a user
must first complete our registration
form. During registration,
users are required to give
their contact information (such
as name and email address,
etc.). This information is
used to contact the users about
the services on our website
for which they have expressed
interest. Users may elect on
the registration form to make
all or part of such information
publicly accessible, at the
users' discretion. It is optional
for the user to provide certain
demographic information and
unique identifiers, but encouraged
so that we can provide a more
personalized experience on
our site.
- Cookies. A
cookie is a piece
of data stored
on the user's
hard drive containing
information about
the user. Usage
of a cookie is
in no way linked
to any personally
identifiable
information while
on our site.
By setting a
cookie on the
browser of a
user, we help
to ensure that
the user would
not have to log
in a password
more than once,
thereby saving
time while on
our site. If
a user rejects
a cookie, he
or she may still
visit our site.
The only drawback
to this is that
the user will
be limited in
some areas of
the site or have
to log in his
or her password
multiple times.
Cookies can also
enable us to
track and target
the interests
of our users
to enhance their
experience on
our site. Some
of our business
affiliates, such
as advertisers,
may use cookies
on our site,
but we have no
access to or
control over
those cookies.
- Log
Files. We
use
IP
addresses
to
analyze
trends,
administer
our
site,
track
users'
movements,
and
gather
broad
demographic
information
for
aggregate
use.
IP
addresses
are
not
linked
to
personally
identifiable
information.
- Newsletter. If
a
user
wishes
to
subscribe
to
our
newsletter,
we
ask
for
contact
information
such
as
their
email
address.
- Surveys
and
Contests. From
time-to-time
our
website
requests
information
from
users
via
surveys
or
contests.
Participation
in
these
surveys
or
contests
is
completely
voluntary
and
the
user
therefore
has
a
choice
whether
or
not
to
disclose
this
information.
Information
requested
may
include
contact
information
(such
as
name
and
shipping
address),
and
demographic
information
(such
as
zip
code,
age
level).
Contact
information
will
be
used
to
notify
the
winners
and
award
prizes.
Survey
information
will
be
used
for
purposes
of
monitoring
or
improving
the
use
and
satisfaction
of
this
site.
- Referrals. If
a
user
or
a
third-party
web
site
elects
to
use
our
referral
service
for
informing
a
friend
or
other
visitors
about
our
website,
we
may
ask
them
for
the
friend's
or
visitor's
name,
email
address
and
appropriate
referral
code.
ION
may
send
the
friend
or
visitor
a
one-time
email
inviting
them
to
visit
the
website.
- Information
Sharing. We
may
share
aggregated
demographic
information
with
our
business
affiliates
and
advertisers
(when
applicable).
This
is
not
linked
to
any
personal
information
that
can
identify
any
individual
person.
We
may
enter
into
an
arrangement
with
a
third
party
to
provide
specific
services.
When
the
user
signs
up
for
these
services,
we
will
share
the
names
or
other
contact
information
that
is
necessary
for
that
third
party
to
provide
the
services.
Those
third
parties
are
not
allowed
to
use
personally
identifiable
information
for
any
purpose
other
than
providing
those
services.
- Security
Measures
and
Limits
on
Our
Abilities. We
use
industry-standard
methods
of
securing
our
databases
of
user
information,
such
as,
if
and
where
appropriate,
firewalls
and
limits
on
who
can
access
user
information
databases.
However,
please
keep
in
mind
that
there
is
no
such
thing
as
perfect
security
on
the
Internet.
It
is
possible
for
Internet
transmissions
containing
your
personal
information
to
be
intercepted
by
others
and
it
is
impossible
for
us
to
ensure
the
privacy
and
security
of
ALL
transmissions
made
to
and
from
our
site.
A
site
and
service
as
complicated
as
ours
cannot
be
perfect,
and
therefore
we
may
inadvertently
make
uses
or
disclosures
of
your
information
in
ways
not
contemplated
by,
or
in
violation
of,
this
Privacy
Policy
or
the
Terms.
For
example,
if
our
software
experiences
an
error,
certain
of
your
personal
information
may
be
displayed
on
our
site
even
if
you
have
configured
your
preferences
to
hide
such
information.
Your
sole
remedy
in
such
situations
will
be
for
us
to
work
with
you
to
correct
such
errors.
- Website
and
Service
Updates. We
may
send
our
users
site
and
service
announcement
updates.
Registered
users
are
not
able
to
unsubscribe
from
service
announcements,
which
contain
important
information
about
the
service.
We
communicate
with
the
user
to
provide
requested
services
and
in
regards
to
issues
relating
to
their
account
via
email
or
phone.
- Correcting
and
Updating
Personal
Information. You
may
edit
your
personal
information
at
any
time
by
using
your
username
and
password.
- Government
Relations
and
Lawsuits. In
some
cases,
the
government
can
compel
the
disclosure
of
information
about
you,
and
of
course
we
will
need
to
comply.
However,
irrespective
of
those
situations,
ION
can
unilaterally
turn
over
information
about
you
to
the
government
if
it
believes
such
disclosure
to
be
appropriate,
in
which
case
you
authorize
it
to
do
so.
You
also
consent
to
ION
disclosing
information
about
you
to
actual
or
potential
parties
to
a
lawsuit
that
ION
is
or
may
become
involved
in
(a)
if
it
is
required
to
do
so,
(b)
if
it
reasonably
believes
that
such
disclosures
will
potentially
mitigate
its
liability,
or
(c)
to
enforce
its
rights.
- Your
Use
of
Email
Tools. We
may
provide
you
with
some
tools
that
allow
you
to
send
email
to
your
colleagues/friends.
If
you
use
this
tool,
the
email
will
include
your
email
address,
as
well
as
any
personal
message
you
choose
to
include.
You
may
not
use
these
tools
to
send
spam
or
to
send
content
that
would
violate
the
Agreement.
You
should
not
assume
that
emails
processed
by
us
are
private
communications.
- Notification
of
Changes. If
we
decide
to
change
this
Privacy
Policy,
we
will
post
those
changes
at http://www.ionfilmfest.com/privacy.html so
our
users
are
always
aware
of
what
information
we
collect,
how
we
use
it,
and
under
circumstances,
if
any,
we
disclose
it.
We
will
use
information
in
accordance
with
the
privacy
policy
under
which
the
information
was
collected.
